First....let me just say: This is not damage control.

Nintendo had a mediocre showing at E3 and I'm not here to deny that.

But I would like to trace a thin silver lining to that enormous gray cloud that hardcore Nintendo fans will certainly feel this holiday season.

You see....we are not getting the games we wanted for Christmas.  We're not getting Kid Icarus...or Pikmin 3....We're not getting a new Zelda or even a Super Mario Galaxy 2....and I couldn't be more excited.

 

But why would that make me excited?

Because we know for sure that these games are still in development, that they are still being built.  And we also know, then...that they are being built with Motion Plus in mind.

Just imagine if you were playing the new Zelda this Christmas...and knowing the whole time that 1:1 sword play was only 6 months away.  I know for me I would feel like I was getting a product that wasn't even as advanced as a WiiSports 2 fencing mini-game....and that'd be a silly way to feel about a Zelda game.

Don't you feel better already?

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

When you've gotta start with a line like that, it definitely is.

I already started feeling better before your post... I'm still disappointed but I'm thinking we still got 3rd parties and maybe Ninty will show something in the upcoming months...

Have missed something??? So if a game doesn't show up at E3 is means it won't come this year??? I still believe we will see Kid Icarus, maybe the Factor 5 game and something else (core) from Nintendo.

No, I don't feel like waiting 1 more year... I think hardcore Wii owners waited enough since SMG. If what you think its true, the motion plus implementation, then this games will not be released until christmas 09, that would be really sad.

Um sorry, but there was just SSBB, and MKWII from nintendo. Not to mention we are getting Wario Land this year. Plus tons of the casual games also are nice to hardcore gamers. ANd lets not forget third party games like Fatal Frame IV, Tales of Symphonia Dawn of The New World, etc.
