Business Insider : Nintendo bombed this year's E3....

Link

hmm, personally it was the worst. but i don't think they bombed like last years

I thought Nintendo was the best this year they announced so many games that I'm interested in alot more then Sony and Microsoft (Not Combined) IMO.

I thought they done alright this year. Nothing amazing (neither were the others) but it was good enough.

However it didnt matter even if they bombed this year because unlike last, theres games coming out in the second half.

They did exactly what they needed to

• Waggle Motion Plus
• Casual stuff - wii sports resort , wiifit
• Core stuff - Metroid for the Wii , Golden Sun for the DS
• Casual/Core - Mario fest
• hardcore - women's murder club !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• innovation - vitality sensor

I disagree. Microsoft>Nintendo>Sony

Also if you were serious you would've said Women's Murder Club as Casual and put Sin & Punishment 2 for Hardcore (Everything Treasure makes is Hardcore.)

I agree their's was the weakest out of the 3...But Sony and Microsfot had amazing pressers. Sony's would have been better if all of their stuff didn't leak, so IMO Microsoft won.

I disagree alot. I do think it wasn't as good, but it certainly didn't fail.

If it wasn't for E3, I probably wouldn't be even concider buying a Wii. See, look it there. They just convinced me

They were definitely the worst of the big three, but they did so much better than last year.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid Other M definitely pleased me, I know a lot of people were excited for Golden Sun 3.

Later that night, Miyamoto talked about Zelda some and revealed a few details and a piece of concept art.

There is a lot of room for improvement, but Nintendo did so much better than last year.

It was terrible! We got a Metroid game that nobody expected, a sequel to one of the best games of this generation, a new version of Golden Sun, a multiplayer Mario 2-D game that is a lot of fun according to previews, we saw how great WiiMotion Plus works and how amazing Wii Sports Resort is going to be and people were able to play the new Zelda DS for the first time.

Anyone that thinks that was good is obviously kidding themselves. :P

I agree with this. They did a hell of a lot better than last year, but that's still not saying much.

They didn't do amazing but they surely didn't bomb.

I don't understand how people think they bombed, did horrible, or showed 'little to no games'.

Are people spoiled? Like honestly.

They did what they needed to do. You realize that there are not 50 million "core" Wii owners, right? They can't exactly make their conference 100% "core" focused. They have different demographics to appeal to, therefore, they appealed to all those demographics - Wii Fit Plus, Vitality Sensor, Womens Murder Club, etc - Casual focus.

Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M (Co-developed Metroid title with Team Ninja) - Remember, that announcement came out of no where... Golden Sun DS, Zelda Wii, etc. Like, I don't understand what more people want.

Along with that, the pre-E3 stuff that came out - like No More Heroes 2's new gameplay trailer, Red Steel 2 gameplay footage, Fragile coming to North America, Trauma Team, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories coverage, etc. I mean, what more do people want?

I thought it was good, it wasn't possible for them to do worse than last year

Honestly I believe they tied for best.
They fired on levels, hitting casuals, hardcore and everyone inbetween within the same hour and a half.

I honestly gotta wonder what you were watching if you believed Nintendo "bombed" E3.

I disagree, Sony and Microsoft definitely had more flash than Nintendo, but I wouldn't call it a bomb. Besides, Reggie riding a unicycle while singing the itsy bitsy spider song for an hour straight would have been better than last years conference.

Yeah, nintendo should start making new games... I don't mean another mario or anything.. Although I still want to play the next Zelda on the wii. Microsoft and Sony were toe to toe for first place hmmm..Roushrsh

Also Project H.A.M.M.E.R. isn't cancelled the team behind it said they are still working on it they just took a short brake to help with Disaster: Day of Crisis.

I hope you're right about H.A.M.M.E.R not being cancelled, but we have no release date. And disaster isn't coming to N.A. like I said. Out of the games highlighted, yes attack heroes is kiddy, I don't know anything about Manado so I won't comment on it, Dynamic Slash looks alright but I'll wait for it to get released first and Cosmic walker seems kinda like Endless ocean + dead space but in space but once again I need more info on it.

they just have to stop telling the audience about their plans for world domination and SHOW THE GAMES (that does not involve mario and or link) !!ReaperV7

I must be insane, I liked Nintendo's the best. Wii Motion Plus looks amazing. Golden Sun looks fantastic. Wii Sports resort looks like it will keep me hooked for a long time. And that's not even mentioning SMG 2 and Metroid. The funny thing is that people seem to have forgotten Nintendo's E3 2008. Now THAT was terrible.

You know, you could easily say that 85-90% of the PS3/360's library is casual too.

golden sun 3

GTA IV is the highest rated game this gen.

announcment of SMG 2 and new Mario Brothas alone was enough to make this year nintendo E3 a lot better then before

I thought Nintendo was the best this year they announced so many games that I'm interested in alot more then Sony and Microsoft (Not Combined) IMO.

Nintendo_Ownes7

Then again, your screenname is Nintendo Ownes, so that's not really a shocking opinion.

"The games are pretty boring, too. The "new" Mario game for this year is all but a port of the New Super Mario Bros. released for the Nintendo DS in 2006."

O RLY? lol. Shows how much he knows.

"Again, the choice of Team Ninja to develop it is nice, and should make for an excellent game, but it's no game-changer."

Game changer? What the hell does this even mean?

"I'm a Nintendo fanboy -- I've owned every Nintendo system other than the Virtual Boy and Game Boy Color (I've owned an Advance, Advance SP, and a Game Boy micro)."

Wait, this is vaguely familiar. Yup, its the good'ol "let me validate my upcoming hyperbole bashing by saying i love them and own all their systems"...

"Nintendo had an absolutely inspired run with the DS, the Wii, and the Wii Balance Board, but it looks like it's over for now. It's time to sit on the sidelines until they get their act back together again."

Aaaand...i was right.

"Sachin Agarwal is the President and CEO of Dawdle.com, an online marketplace for gamers to buy and sell new and used video games, systems, and accessories with other gamers online."

LOL, why should anyone give a hoot about this guy's opinion?

[QUOTE="o0_L0st_B0y_0o"]

[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"]The ones in green are not Super Casual games. Cosmic Walker is Action/Adventure in Space, Dynamic Slash is an Action game created by Sandlot the guys that make the Earth Defense force series. Line Attack Heroes could technically be considered "Kiddy" but it is an Action RPG created by Koichi Ishii (Mana series). Manado: Beginning of the World is a new RPG by Nintendo and Monolith Soft.

Also Project H.A.M.M.E.R. isn't cancelled the team behind it said they are still working on it they just took a short brake to help with Disaster: Day of Crisis.

I read the article and the guy basically had negative comments on every thing that Nintendo had. I think he had the negative attitude before E3 even started. He's a ceo of some website that I never heard that sells games just to let you guys know. I don't think his opinion should be held higher than any Joe Public.
