Forums - Nintendo - And so the audience ruined Nintendo's conference for me

Lack of Zelda got people pissed off.

I think this could be one of the reasons. I mean, everyone was hoping/expecting to see the new Zelda Wii and in some way not getting to see any footage might be a bit dissapointing.

Only dumbs were waiting that. With a new Zelda DS being realeased, they were going to announce a new one. Right...

I think Nintendo and MS didn't feel the need to plant audience members this year.

Seriously, all 3 were equally good and we did get a reaction to those games, but it wasn't as massive as Sonys was, even if they were doing the dumbest things. That's why I really disliked Sony's conference, obviously there were planted audience members and it made the conference worse for it. I don't mind a massive reaction to FF14 or Kojima, that's good, applauding the awesome stuff (FF14 was awesome until that trailer ended), but if you're clapping for something really stupid then it just looks like you're taking the piss out of Sony (which is obviously not what Sony paid them for).

You can argue as much as you want whether you believe I'm wrong about the audience members, but put it this way, MS's previous conferences got a huge amount of "audience clapping" and they had audience members planted around for those.

I'm actually kind of glad Nintendo and MS were subdued in comparison, it just made the times they did clap more important (SMG2, Metroid: Other M, Halo Reach, MGS:R).

What?

Tretton was funny and loose as soon as the show started, he even made fun of their ability to keep info from leaking, but it had to be more for you. Give crdit sometimes, i know it's hard. People reacted more to Sony people they liked what they saw, just like the big reaction to MGS and Metroid.

MS was all about their games and it so serious, NIntendo was just bland and boring.

I was like WTF??? When they announced Golden Sun DS and some other great games. No reactions.

Then I saw the Sony conference.... every little thing got applauded and stuff. Probably the same audience. Everything was explained right there.

The best laugh at the Sony conference was when people were laughing at the inability of the presenters for the Sony Motion Wand to demo it properly. Overall, all 3 presentations were on par with each other. They were all bland presenter-wise, but showed good material. Corporate people are boring and their jokes are all lame, and just need to focus on selling the game to the market.

Thanks for the compliment

Though I have to admit, that you might be right...

But if it comes to Zelda, many people (including me ) seem to turn off their brain...they want to see it (especially if it is known that there is a Zelda Wii in development), no matter if it makes sense or not. Zelda turns everyone back to 12 year old fanboys...

laughing with or at Sony was still more laughter than that quiet presentation of Nintendo.

I think it was the acoustics of whichever conference hall Nintendo used. 360 was just as quiet but they had some numpty clapping himself so made it a little louder.

Clapping your own announcements is so lame.

So, being laughed at is better than just presenting your product? Maybe if you're doing stand up comedy. You have an odd perspective.

You said it, we were watching two different presentation. It seems like the folks at the Sony press event were having fun.
