Why would I stop being a fan after a lackluster E3 showing? Did the games I own right now or the future games suddenly start to suck?

I have a newsflash for people who want gaming to "go back to the good old days" and all that jazz: those games you enjoyed in "the good old days"? Yeah, you can still play those. And in case you haven't noticed, the industry at large has been all about pandering to "the good old days" mentality. Why else is almost every game out there the exact same few games with slightly different visuals and characters, but exactly the same gameplay as some other game? Do you really enjoy basically re-buying the same gameplay experience over and over, the only differentiation being surface-level details and the way in which that near-identical gameplay is force-fed to you?

Instead of endlessly retreating to what you know and repeating the same experiences a thousandfold, I suggest you branch out to what you don't know. Getting indignant and huffy about progress isn't going to make any difference whatsoever, so you may as well enjoy it instead and maybe even get something out of it. Just a suggestion.

My fandom has been on the wane since 2006... still like Nintendo though, brawl is amazing. Other than that Wii is meh. Wario Land looks good- why wasn't it shown?

 lol thnx ....  .. u know english is not my main language so its normal thing to make some mistakes.

Today went from being greatly anticipated to very annoying in seconds flat. I'm going to sleep. Wake me up when everybody quits overreacting.

No, but I'm very disappointed.

I was disappointed with the presentation but...

Mic is good, 1:1 is great. Now it's up to the 3rd parties to use them to make some great games.

I'm still sore that we have no announced dates for any Wii games in NA for '08. That's crazy.

Thank God Captain Rainbow wasn't presented as a major game (or at all for that matter).

Of course not. I'll judge Nintendo on the games they put out, not how exciting a conference is.

Even if the odd person does, the amount of people that will buy the Wii for WS:R and Wmusic will be enormous.

Lose, no. Piss off to the point of throwing a rock through their windows? YES!!!
