Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo: We Failed at E3

mike_intellivision on 10 August 2009

Iwata: None of us thought our E3 presentation was as good as it could have been.

IGN: Nintendo admits E3 failure (exact wording of the link on the IGN Wii home page)

Say there isn't bias in presentation ... but this kind of shows selective word choice in reporting to me.

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

Yeah, i noticed that too. Iwata didn't admit failure, he just said that the presentation could've been better.

I don't understand how Nintendo failed, they showed off some unexpected surprises like Mario galaxy 2, Mario Bros wii, metroid m, golden sun ds, nintendo had the best conference my opinion.

with almost all of the hd games delayed now we can say nintendo did win E3



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Nintendo didn't say they failed at E3. They said they didn't fully convey the fun factor of several of their games good enough; they didn't deliver the true experience they had to offer, but in no way did they fail.

I re-watched their conference on the Nintendo Channel, and it was great. Better than MS's dog-and-pony show, and Sony's been there done that conference. Nintendo actually surprised me.

I disagree with this. I think Nintendo had a good E3 and Sony's was shit. I mean Hannah Montana one of the biggest cheers of the show? Also the laughable dildo- Wii remote- rip off thingy? People have short memories.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
