I mentioned this topic in another thread, and didn't see this thread, so I hope the TC doesn't think I took his material. I saw the same interview right after the Nintendo conference was over and heard him say that.

It was just so horrible to hear that. What's even more frustrating is when they were actually talking about AC, they were emphasizing the interaction and the speaker accessory, more so aiming towards the non-gamers. And like someone else mentioned, the GTA DS game wasn't even shown off. It was almost like "We have GTA, so that's good enough. We don't need to actually show any footage."

You know, some of the non-Wii owners or just some gamers in general might be right. Maybe Nintendo is just sitting on that casual crowd and aren't feeling compelled to really create big hit hardcore games, at least right now, and/or they consider the games already out are more than enough to Nintendo to please the core gamers, since they have such a big lead and are still to this day selling Wiis like crazy.

Morgan Webb: So Reggie what do you have to say to harcore gamers who might feel left out by you at this point?

Reggie: How can you possibly feel left out. We've got Animal Crossing with voice chat fully hooked up the internet, and Grand Theft Auto on the DS, so how can you possibly feel left out?

Wow

How the mighty have fallen.

Reggie has gone from Hero to Zero in 2 hours flat.

gg Reggie. for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

And more importantly the last part of the quote "and we're about making games." WTF happened to that!? I guess they are still games just not very good ones or ones that anyone who comes here would want to play. Or at least ONLY play those games.

I say the interview on G4 too, i cant believe that was his response to her question. I dont even think he heard her fully, he must have heard "money, money, ds, wii, feel left out" :lol:

In all honesty, I'm surprised they even MENTIONED a GTA game. I thought that would be too "mature" for them to show at E3. They're pushing this whole family friendly image and they actually take time out of their conference to mention a GTA game.

However, I still think that their conference was just slightly above abysmal.

I thought most animal crossing fans play it like crazy and spend huge chunks of time on it. So just look at any of them. This is another time when people are using "hardcore" wrong.

:lol: Where is the real Nintendo? Or has time, immense sales, and extra popularity conformed them into something else :(. Maybe we'll see more as time passes. As it stands now, though, I am completely disappointed.

Wow...did Chuck Norris kick Reggies ass and take his name so Reggie is no longer cool or informed?

On a side note, it would have been **** halarious if the last thing they showed was Wii Music, and the started play the Rick Roll song and Reggie said "Gotcha!" And then the revieled loads of awesome titles, but they didn't.

The absolutely worse part about this for sheep was Reggie during the conference talking about how they would still focus on the core gamers... but then didn't give them a single bone the entire show. The guy is just blowing hot air towards them; he only really cares about the casuals.

you get left out completely because you know the 3rd party games are going to be trash

but man when nintendo makes a gem its always an instant classic

So the official Nintendo response to core gamers is "you're not happy with one new game on each of our platforms?"

Mainstream titles: they're hardcore! Reggies says so!

-

If Reggie had his way, sometimes I wonder if he'd try to market rocks to idiots as the next Nintendo System "you bang them together, what more could you want?"

Because the Wii is marketed to people who don't play games and because when whildren ask their parent for games they go with the Wii cuz it's the cheapest platform and it has games like Naruto.

Judging by his apperance, it looks like someone beat you to it.

Reggie just, reflects a Nintendo that is clueless to the wants of the hardcore gamer. It's not about one or two games every few months - it's about the *entire focus* of your system.
