After that shameful act of stupidity I no longer see how Nintendo can function as a company or be taken seriously...

As the company who slaughtered the all migthy Sony in the gaming market, we better take them seriously.

Get over it. Wii Music coming doesn't mean that other games aren't.famicommander

To me thats not the point. The point is Nintendo made it seem likee WiiMusic and WiiSports were some type of HUGE announcement,when in reality they weren't. Im Happy AC and Wii Speak will be coming, but that's all I liked about the conference. Everything else was catered towards, I hate to say it, the casuals. Which I wouldnt mind, if we have gotten at least our 1 Big announcment,But we didnt. I mean if they would have said GTA was for the Wii, I would have been happy, but it's for the DS so it means nothing to me.

If four people getting up on stage playing Wii Music signifies the death of a company, I don't even want to know what "riiiiiiiiidge racer" did to a certain other company. :P

Honestly people, can we get some perspective on this matter?

For the Casual Market, those are huge announcements. And E3 has a lot of coverage from casual press. You get the idea.

Yeah I know and I fully understand and thats not why im dissapointed. I just feel like we should have got at least 1 more game showing. Hell, even if they had announced the Conduit being published by nintendo I would of been happy. I dont mind the casual approach at all because lets face it, its all about the money. But dont forget about us too you know. We wanted to see something other then AC and Wii Speak. I guess we still have the upcomiong days ahead of us.

Once this casual gamer grabfest is over (next gen) things will get back to normal, but even better! :)

I don't see why not, anyways. They can't campaign for non-gamers forever, right?

Is it just me, or am I the only one that notices these are not the final representations of the games?

I'm especially excited for the Motion plus thingy. That device could be the thing that brings the original idea of sword fights to life! RedSteel 2 anyone?

Really? I thought Cammie's "Cool Mom" speech was the worst part. Animal Crossing was the only great thing shown.k_smoove

:lol: I still don't understand how that made it in. I guess they wanted to connect with their female gamers.

Snyder_Trigger

Yeah i thought about red steel 2 when they annouced it.

And yes, it was a bit disapointing... but i must say wii sports 2 actually looks fun.

Cammie was just pure fail all around. Give us Reggie damn it!

R.I.P?!!!

Stop complaining it's not over!

R.I.P. Nintendo?

More like good job nintendo. Look at that video. Four adults are playing video games. This is the image that Nintendo is trying to get out to people. They are trying to break that boundry. They are trying to expand video games to make them a source of mainstream entertainment like movies.

How is this at all a bad thing? When would you ever see four adults that age playing video game's together? never.

Just because they didnt show off "teh ubzerz hardcorez gamez" your getting mad? They still have plenty of software for you as do third parties. Most gamers IGNORE the software because its incredible niche or it's art direction is too "KIDDY".

Also, did you ever realize most of Nintendo's core franchises can be considered casual themselves? Mario? Casual. Zelda? Casual. Smash Bros? Casual. Mario Kart? Causal.Haziqonfire

As for the 4 adults playing video games, it was just flatout embarrasing to watch.

Actually, I would consider Mario, Zelda, and Smash Bros to be hardcore... for kids. Heck, I play them myself, but how about MadWorld, Madden 09, Star Wars TFU, and other hardcore games with more mature content? I'm glad that the DS is bringing out GTA Chinatown Wars but more needs to be done.

Mature content = Hardcore?

Are you crazy young man

According to him Madden 09 has mature content!

Zelda, Mario and Smash are casual, while Madden is hardcore...

Brilliant, just brilliant.

wondering... what about later years?... the wii went casual and the 360's presentation was mostly casual aswell... what if they ruin everything?? its easier to make a minigame collection and casual gamers buy that... polishkid99

There's a reason why fancy restaurants stay in business despite cheaper and easier-to-make food being sold elsewhere. It's the same reason why people's fears are entirely unfounded that the video game market will one day become solely casual in nature.

RIP? Really? Did you see Sony's conference today? Their's was nothing to get that getty about either. They didn't drop any bombs. I don't think anyone's were that great other than the Final Fantasy XIII announcement yesterday. Plus, all you haters finally got your microphone. It's not a headset but it still looks pretty cool.

I think Nintendo is still headed in the right direction. Plus, people are underplaying how great the new motion sensing device is. 1:1 gaming has amazing possibilities. The new Zelda will be ridiculously amazing I think. Also, imagine future baseball and golf games if they utilize the technology.

i didnt understand ..can you write that some other way?

so my big thing about the new motion sensor is aside from a small handful of games, I haven't found any to really implement the use of the original wii-mote. does this mean we'll have to wait even longer for developers to figure out the 'new' technology?

or can they simply tack on the waggle controls like most of the crap I've seen out there...

come on, Nintendo. Throw us a bone

Wth is wrong with the people who base the entire future of Nintendo on an E3 flop? Do they just phase out every other game and thing about it that wasn't shown at the main presentation? Why Nintendo didn't feature more hardcore games, I dunno, but they sure as hell exsist, and you can't deny it just because they won't be technically as hyped.

It don't make no sense to me.

Well said. For example, I didn't think the show was all that great, but it doesn't take away from how excited I am for future titles like Tales of Symphonia 2, MLB Power Pros 08, FF Crystal Chronicles, and this little game that will one day come out... what is it called... oh yeah ZELDA!

I, a true nintendo fan, died a little watching that part of the press conference, then I remenber how fun the other games I play on the Wii and how dumb I look and my friends look, and how funny it will be handing a Wii mote to my drunk friend in college and video tape that and just to post it everywhere. This is why you buy a Wii, to have fun and blackmail your friend.

Honestly I been waiting for some the stuff they show this E3 and I am a happy, happy there make the Wii work for sword fighting games, yay for the mic, nintendo will die when gaming dies, gaming isnt dead yet
