Wii music was nothin. Guitar Hero kinda stole any glory it had previously. No first party announcements except for 1. I think they rolled out everything wicked in the last year actually.

Eh. I will defend Nintendo here:

They still have a good lineup of games, and a treasure trove of IPs they can easily bank on. The issue was/is the fact of what they showed: nothing important for the core audience. That's disturbing because it makes core Wii owners worry that more and more focus will be on those type of games.

However, the Wii still (obviously) has great potential. The issue is that Nintendo itself isn't really the ones that are innovating above what they've already done by promoting titles with truely unique, new features for core gamers. For casuals, yes, absolutely. But not for guys like me that want to buy a Wii for my dad for shooting games.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Spring, so thats next year March? Damn Ninty and their delays, damn it all to hell



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Have to say i thought MS conference other then FFXIII announcement was "ok". But this was really bad. I am shocked they had next to nothing, no new Mario games and no new Zelda. All we got was more gimmicks that require you to buy even more hardware to play them. Maybe this will be the bubble bursting for the Wii.

Also did anyone else see the blatent lies about the software? He said the Wii had more titles then 360 and PS3 combined and on the graph the PS3 had more games then the 360.....There is spinning it and then there is BS, and that was BS.

There is no way Sony's conference can be this bad. Surely?

 

If you look it was in the first 19 months.  ( i.e November 2005 -> June 2007 for the XBOX360)

 

 but that doesn't make sense because if you check those numbers on say metacritic you see the 360 actually had nearly double the amount of games released in that period then what the PS3 had and beat the Wii by over 150 games. As i said it was a blatent lie simply to make Nintendo sound like they are winning the software market which they arn't. They have a worse attatch rate then PS3.

It was the equivelent of hanging out at a nursing home, listening to old people tell anecdotes, and hanging out with my "cool" uncle Jimmy. In other words: AWESOME!!

Nintendo knows that the money is in the casuals for them. They aim to win over the mainstream press. Mainstream press doesn't care about games like SSBB or FF13. They want new products and innovation. Something that will make the general public take notice. Still Nintendo should of shown some quick clips of some of their more hardcore games. Maybe they will in the next couple of days. I still say most of the mainstream press will run with the Nintendo news of Motion Plus for the next week.

Agree.

Walking with my dog is more exciting than that conference...

 

Yes, that is probably true, but look at how many millions Nintendo made from that very same concept!
