No one gets it... but that's okay.

All this doom and gloom I see all over the web about the failure of Nintendo to the 'core' gamers is just plain weird... do people not expect more media to be released about the big FOUR now? Why waste time in the press conference showing a heap of stuff about games that are already known about?

That's what the rest of E3 is for... sheesh, this was an brilliant press conference for the PRESS... bleh I'm not going to bother any more either.

Really guys, stop trolling Kwaads posts.

It´s true what he says, the conference wasn´t that awesome for the hardcore crowd and you know it.

Of course Wii Fit will sell millions of copies and the Wii sales will Skyrocket when it comes out together with Smash Bros., Super Mario, Resident Evil, etc. this holiday, but Kwaad is a real core gamer.

So it wasn´t that interesting for him.

You're currently showing symptoms of a condition named "Unacceptance of progress". The core of the problem is your definition of the word "gamer", and the way you view the Wii. The cure is to let time pass, you will accept it eventually.

>>> It would seem that the media companies are comming to a screeching halt, up-talking the Wii. 

Yeah, that's what you'd like to see, obviously.

>>> I'm actually amazed all you guys arent saying 'OMFG NINTENDO OWNED MICROSOFT. NINTENDO WILL RULE FOR ALL TIME!!!'

Maybe we're not because - this would be completely stupid fanboy behaviour? So you actually COMPLAIN that people DON'T flame and troll? Interesting. 

>>> G4TV is talking about Halo3 and Killzone2 still.

So Halo3 and Killzone2 must be better games than Mario Kart and Mario Galaxy, you've got me convinced. 

naznatips - I actually agree. But I think there will be mention of Home and LBP aswell.

you guys don't see what they say is true.
Wiimote made with a casual game used for hardcore games and casual games.
Balancing board made for and used with a casual game. Can be used for hardcore games ( remember those arcades snowboarding ect) It seems it can measure your lenght (because it could calculate bmi ) means it can also measure hight movement.
This board has so much potentional :D

Yea nothing new announced for the DS is kinda disappointing too, I guess Nintendo is content to just coast along with that and let the third-parties have some room to shine there.

Maybe we'll see more out of them at TGS since it's only a couple months from now and Nintendo will actually be there for once.

And we'll definitely see more out of MS at X07.

I wouldn't be so annoyed with him if he had actually watched it before trolling it.  I didn't say it was incredible, in fact I expect Sony to have more that appeals to ME personally, but for the purpose of the conference they did a pretty good job, hence my B score.

 That doesn't mean non-gamers or casuals should be ignored. Variety is a good thing. As much as I like my 360, I'm getting burnt out on the shooters.  They're starting to blend together for me, in a sense. I'm more of a casual gamer than I am hardcore and I'm glad I'm getting some attention paid my way. That's not to say I'm rocking Cooking Mama every night, but I'd rather play MVP Baseball or Guitar Hero than Final Fantasy.

And as I said I expect Sony to have more that interests ME personally, and I am looking forward to their conference.  As far as appealing to both audiences though Nintendo did a great job.  Obviously the casual appeal games don't interest me much (though for some reason I find myself caring about Wii Fit), but they still provided an entertaining (hardly perfect) conference experience with a mix of casual and hardcore appeal.  If Sony shows Home (which doesn't appeal to me either) then yes, they will be accomplishing the same thing Nintendo tried to do.  Home probably won't get the media attention of Wii Fit though.  Second Life has been around a long time, motion sensing like THIS though is very new (and could serve some interesting purposes in hardcore games).
