No it was about one of retro's games being a new ip. :) I didn't say when they will be anounced.

I"m pretty saddened at not Core game announcements. Also no SD booting. I would have figured at least one of those would be there.

Just get more consoles. It makes everything easier.

The problem is not that Nintendo is abandoning the core gamers (though I think the Wii Sword Duel looks awesomely fun!), but that Nintendo chose to barely address the market at all in their presentation - just quick nods to Clone Wars and Call of Duty.

I think many of us were hoping Nintendo would take an approach more similar to Sony's "Look at all the shit we got coming" presentation. Toss out more footage of Mad World, Conduit, Mushroom Men and Disaster and so forth, rather than choosing to essentially highlight just a small handful of games (mostly Nintendo developed).

I do laugh at the response to the snowboarding game - since when are snowboarding games for teh casuals? Just because it has the WiiBoard? I thought expensive, specialty controllers used to be the hallmark of core gamers? You know if the WiiBoard were originally sold by Sony or MS as part of a new SSX game, core gamers would rush to embrace it. The problem is it has the stench of WiiFit.

I think Nintendo's biggest gaffe was revealing the 1:1 controller a day early. So far as I know, no one saw this coming (ironically Nintendo was the only company no one was expecting to show a new motion-based controller). Reveal that during the presentation, and couple it with a lightsaber game demo... it wouldn't have beaten FF13, but it would have created geekasms across the country.

Imagine if they did what Sony did last year for their SW PSP - Show the new attatchment, and to show what it does... lights go down, cue the Imperial March...out walks an actor comes out dressed as Vader. He pulls out the WiiMote, slaps in the attachment, and begins to swing., with his video avatar duplicating each move. Announce that Clone Wars is being delayed to incorporate this technology, and you've got everyone hooked.

Meh,anyway watch the capcom conference maybe they'll announce something interesting.

LOL you going to tag EVERY Nintendo E3 thread with this line? Who needs more consoles when you have a PC anyways?

Sign me up, Rol. As much as Nintendo likes to make us think they've changed since the N64/GC days, they haven't completely reinvented themselves. Of course we'll still be seeing Zeldas, Marios, etc. But they still haven't turned up the pace of development and 3rd parties have yet to fill in the gaps that Nintendo ALWAYS have in their lineup.

I'm a core gamer, I own a Wii, and I'm mildly upset. Were it not for my PS3, I would be livid.

I'm trying, but It won't show for me. Here is the link, could you see the video? http://e3.g4tv.com/e32008/press_conf_detail.aspx?pressconference_key=6

well...i'm pro nintendo all the way, but I'm gonna be buying 360 for too long. What do i have to look foward to. Wii Music?...ehhh whatever. hurray for Animal crossing fans, but i'm not one of them. Wii console has been nothing but a money making machine and with hardly any good games outside of nintendo's franchises. I"m tired of Nintendo getting the short end of the stick. But if they can't capture 3rd parties to make better games for the system i will prob end having to have a backup(360).

I Agree, they won't abandon core gamer, they won't stop producing core games, they are just waiting. Yeah, maybe they should've showed something even a trailer or something, but come on! You are overreacting! You (the fanboys crying) are acting like fanboys that were crying because of the not FFXIII exclusivity.
