Forums - Nintendo - Official Nintendo E3 2010 Press Conference Thread

JPL78 said:

@Sleepwaking, so, you know people who enjoy the system and I know people who don't.  What's the point? Reggie didn't say most people, or some people fell into the category , he just basically said, as a matter of fact, Wii owners buy more games and enjoy their systems longer.  I'm just pointing it out that is not always the case.

Also I could care less if it matters to Nintendo or not what the attach rate it, it matters to me.  He was making the point that Wii owners ALL buy lots of games.  This is clearly not true.

@noname2200, I know, Microsoft does it, Nintendo does it, Sony does it.  I think you completely missed my point that some people don't fall under the description he provided. That's all.  If someone is going to make skewed statements like he did I don't understand why I'm being faulted for sharing my personal experience and its differences to what he said.

Look, everyone who is going to come in here and attack me, whatever.  I said it was an entertaining conference.  I said it was better than Microsoft.  I said I want a 3DS.  I'm obviously not anti-Nintendo and when it came to Zelda I said it was probably video lag.  I didn't read this post but I'm guessing more than a few immature people came into this post screaming about how Zelda sucked because it didn't sync up.  Meanwhile I stated it was probably video lag.  At least I'm being realistic and fair.  But I guess that just doesn't stop the hardcore fans for ripping into anyone who brings up even the slightest problems with their beloved company.

Yeah because I was really ripping on you..... It  was just my take on it. Honestly though I just reacted on it because you had to comment on it, which just seems rather pointless because like you said every company does it and there was nothing really wrong with what he said. I mean the normal NPD reactions have way more misleading statements.

 

(still not trying to rip on you)

Very well then: you have struck a crippling blow against an unimagined injustice today, and we all congratulate you for it. 



@Sleepwaking, alright. Point taken. It was just very snarky and demeaning the way you said it, as if, screw this guy and his stupid opinion its clearly not important.  I just read you wrong I guess, sorry about that.

And for the record to both of you guys if my post was pointless to you fine, but it wasn't pointless to me, henseforth that is why I came here to discuss.

Thanks and I sense absolutely no sarcasm at all :)



Gamespots live blog just says Miyamoto said that he was misquoted about Pikmin being in development. A really great conference but that dissipoints me a bit as it is one of my favorite franchises and perfect for Wii.

Update: The very next update was him saying "we are very hard at work on Pikmin" all is right in the world again.

A few things:

I loved when Miyamoto said it is important to Zelda to have weapons and a map.  Thanks genious, 90 percent of all games made use a map and weapons.

Something was up with the Zelda demo, Link in no way at all even began to match his actions with the Wiimote.  But I'm attributing this to video lag and nothing else.

I love how apparently 3D glasses are a creation of the devil and henseforth very evil.  I wasn't aware that most people feel slipping on a pair of shades is somehow a big huge ordeal.  But I wear glasses everyday so, I don't know.  I know when I watched Avatar I forgot I was wearing them practically.

Also important to note one of the game designers noted he wouldn't have to look stupid wearing glasses on the subway.  Great, but I'm thinking when you are blowing into the microphone and waving your arms in front of the motion sensors you will look way more stupid.

Seemed kind of hypocritcal for the company that has constantly told us graphics are not important is now claiming that basically better graphics enable better gameplay and luckily the 3DS has better graphics.

Goldeneye looked like extreme crap and has, quite possibly the worst graphics I've ever seen on the Wii.

Otherwise, no complaints except for the fact that its hard to get that hyped about a 3D system when you can't experience the actual 3D effect over television screen.  But I'll probably be one of the first inline to buy a 3DS, I just really want to see it in action first.

I liked when Reggie claimed that the Mario sports game would probably be popular.  You think?

Also find it funny that in the past Miyamoto ragged on Donkey Kong Country as being nothing but eye candy and lacking in gameplay, yet now we find Nintendo pimping a new Donkey Kong Country that looks like it plays almost exactly the same.

Anyway, those are my thoughts, still don't want a Wii.  Very interested in the 3DS.  As an Xbox fan I am humbled and disapointed to say I enjoyed the Nintendo conference better.  I'll watch Sony's tommorow.

bitter that Microsoft's presentation was rather boring are we? I mean outright trolling statements are about half way through your post. We all know Crusin' is the worst looking game on Wii

Color me corrected.

Also I plainly said I was disapointed in Microsofts press conference.

I am curious how stating my opinion equals "trolling" just because you don't like it.  I think I'm being very fair and respectful to the people here. Are you honestly going to tell me you thought Goldeneye looked better than most other Wii games?  I can think of launch games that have better graphics.  But that says nothing for the Goldeneye's play control, I'll be the first to admit that.



Nintendo definitely stole the show this year at E3

anytime someone lays a blanket statement like "that looks like a PS1 game" or "that is the worst looking game" they are exagerating beyond belief. I've seen more pissing wars because someone wants to go to the extremes for no reason. "Killzone 2 looks like a PS1 game" is crap and you know it. This is the same thing. If it only looks decent it doesn't make it the worst game on a system.

Personally I think the game looks pretty good. Not the best game on the system, but by far not the worst. It looks a little like they intentionally kept the semi boxy guns and stuff to make it feel more like the original goldeneye rather than a complete remake.

I party responded because it irks me when people say "game x is worse than a PS1 game" or the like, and secondly because because you are picking apart things that don't even matter or were never even said. However, I shouldn't have started my post like I did.
