Blame the ESA. They decided that the 24x3 Party Event was unneccesary.

After Nintendo's showing, I'm ready to rate Sony a 14/10 -sight unseen!

Sony WINS E3!!

Sony will have the most interesting conference. I dont see them winning E3.

We said that about Nintendo yesterday and look what happened...

Oh pull yourself toghether.

Nintendo doesn't owe you anything for owning a gamecube. They gave you 5 good years, and if you didn't like them, then you sure as hell shouldn't have bought a Wii. The Wii has a better line-up than the GC had at the same time, so they did better than you ought to have expected. Perhaps not as well as you hoped, but that just ment you set the bar to high.


YOU weren't the goal of this. Face it, you cannot always be the center of attention.

You've got Smash Bros, Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3 and Mario Kart Wii, Super Paper Mario and Fire Emblem all top quality games, within the last 12 months. You're also getting Kirby and Animal Crossing (with a mic) within this FY. Fatal Frame IV, Wario Ware Shake it and Disaster Day of Crisis are all currently set for 2008.


You KNOW about all the 5 latter games. They will release within the next half year. So what if you're not getting any footage, you're still going to be able to play them!


Nintendo IS making the games you want. They just didn't show them at this conference. You didn't get the attention this time. Someone else did. Therefore, they're ultimately morons, or what? You're getting everything you could realistically want, but it wasn't shown at this very moment.

 I disagree. Nintendo had one of the most interesting conferences yet. They're making the core games, but has now understood that they no longer need the marketing. The core is buying it anyway. The casuals need commercializing more.

They didn't take the favourable approach for you, and thus it wasn't good enough.

im a little upset as well, there isn't any good games comming out that i like. i was hoping to hear something about DDoC. And there was no storage solution. why the hell are thy avoiding it. thats really all that i wanted.

So no Zelda or Kid Icarus game this year.... so what? its only 5 month left of this year, Nintendo must have some great games coming up the first 6 month of next year wich is long before FFXIII is released in the US/EU.

I'll quote my self from yesterday.

"I think the strongest Press Conference will Not be Nintendo however. Nintendo Focuses on the media outlets that are not game specific during the conference, CNN, FoxNews, AP, Reuters. With that said, they will absolutely win the large and vast casual audience that got to such places for entertainment news. MS vied very strongly for this crowd today and failed miserably.

Casual Winner = Nintendo"

This is 100% true. Tommorow, when you open up the NYT, you will read about WiiSports Resort and Nintendo's casual offerings.

Sony will have the most interesting conference because they will show games, games, and more games. Which as a gamer appeals to me. But they will not "win" E3. Nintendo will gain the most as they have shown the larger casual audiences what they have coming out in the next 12 months.

Hmmm. We know the games are coming, at least from 3rd parties with Conduit and Mad World.

Just a guess here: Nintendo is playing to the media, and knows the "mainstream" press will be focusing on the presentation. This is where many "casuals" will get their news.

Core gamers hunt down info in IGN, EGM, VGC, and other sites with 3 letter abbreviations. We'll see what was on the showroom floor, and pay attention to post-conference unveilings (as has sometimes been done in the past).

Still, if they don't have something for the core gamers, then this will be disappointing.
