Worst case scenario: Nintendo has another E3 that shows off games that sell millions, and one of them goes on to be one of the best selling games of this generation.

Oh no's! Just like last year!

awesome stuff

I'll need to get myself a wii for that :p

lol

Haha, great article.

I wonder if Art Academy will be anything like Wii Color.

or if Wii Fit Pkus = Wii Fit Resort.

Worst case scenario for Nintendo e3?

See E3 2008

Articles like this should stay light-hearted, silly, and way out in left field.

Taking stealth jabs at one of the most popular games is not the way to do that.

Let me say this I do not think the showing will effect Nintendo either way. I think they have gotten all the core users they were going to get by this point. So all the console is moving on now is the family gaming, and the casual market. Which doesn't need core games to motivate purchasing.

That said I am reasonably certain if they repeated last year this year that a great many loyalists will go into a foaming at the mouth frenzy, and disavow the console and the brand. We have seen some serious discontent already. That might hurt Nintendo in four years when their new console isn't the only console that seriously supports casual gaming.

Speaking to the humor if you cannot imagine how MarioKart cannot be ten times better your brain is on the fritz. Every fan of the series knows what they would truly love. They want to have a variety of weapon sets. They want new game modes like capture the flag, oddball, territories. All of which would work perfectly well in a battle mode arena. Even giving the characters more innate abilities could be a real boon. Yet is was a phoned in sequel. There was a lot of room for improvements, and Nintendo decided not to. Having a lot of options wouldn't have hurt the game.

The humor overall was pretty good especially the rationalizations, because that would be the second bug that would crawl right up your ass. First your disappointed, and then you have that big smile telling you that you should be excited. That is like rubbing salt in an open wound.

Do not get me wrong I would be happy either way a piss poor showing, or a showing that would exceed expectations. Either way would get the Nintendo community invigorated one way or the other. Either super happy or supper pissed. Right now its like they are just milling around on the front lawn like zombies. Kind of boring since they have stopped trying to break into the house to eat the other gamers.

You could say the same of Madden. They add new character and a few new features.

Online play is a standard. The inclusion should be expected.

The only big change I see in MKWii is the bikes. They play differently, while only slightly, and it helps mix things up.

They're criticizing it for the same reason people do sports game. They just add more of what exists and a new game mode. Although, we games like this, you can't change Mario Kart too much.

"I think they have gotten all the core users they were going to get by this point. So all the console is moving on now is the family gaming, and the casual market. Which doesn't need core games to motivate purchasing."

I agree with that...this could be a good idea for a thread.

The expanding new play control library thing will actually happen.

Mario Karty is actually pretty funny. What's even funnier is that it would sell.
