Microsoft and Sony showed many anticipated games but Nintendo went into E3 without many good looking games on the horizon. Naturally, gamers expected a wave of games that Nintendo had no intention of revealing. It was a letdown that was made-up for by their private conference in the fall.

My problem was not with the games they showed, my problem was with the balance, a successful gaming system needs a share of games for everyone, not games just targeted to one audience... And that crazy woman from Yahoo, i hope she doesn't show up in this E3 again...

Well from a business standpoint, the conference made complete sense. They showcased games on a massive stage because they know 'casuals' wouldn't do their own homework. Nintendo knows that big profile games don't need a huge conference like E3 to become successful, instead focusing on games directed at people who don't scour the internet for the next great game.

I don't think Wii Sports Resort is a day-one buy any more than Wii Play was... People want Wii Motion Plus.. that's why I'm getting it on the first day.

Wait, so you're complaining that people were initially disappointed with Nintendo's E3 but are now defending Nintendo's games?

Well first you should list the games they showed at E3. Off the top of my head I remember these games

Wii Music - People complained because they already knew about it, had some preconceived notions about it and didn't like how much of an emphasis it received. but now that it's out some people are actually really liking it

Animal Crossing - People complained because they already knew about it and didn't like the lack of a graphical upgrade. But now it's out and people are enjoying it

Shaun White - people complained because they worried the graphics might be bad, instead the graphics have a great style and the game is doing really well.

Wii Sports Resort - No one is complaining about it. It'll be huge and amazing, but people already knew about that one.

To be honest I'm not even sure what else there was at E3 and that's the reason people complained. They wanted more game announcements and a greater focus on that whole "core gamer teen boy whatever the hell you want to call it" type of game.

So the largest reason people aren't complaining now is because Nintendo held their own conference and showed us those kinds of games.

Sin and Punishment 2, Punchout, Dynamic Slash, Cosmic Walker, Endless Ocean 2 and a bunch of other stuff.

no pikmin 3. it would have made everything better for me :'(

Well, Wii Sports Resort will be a must buy b/c it'll have the WM+. That and the sword fighting game look good, but the other stuff looks freaking terrible.
