Were You Physically Angry While Watching Nintendo's E3 Press Conference?

from the opening video of children and soccer mom all having a jolly ol' time playing the wii, it just made me sick to my stomach. I literally had to do thirty push ups afterwards just to vent my frustration.

And i'm sitting here now just angry thinking about it. :evil:

No, I was just incredibly embarrassed. I'm the kind of person who squirms if I see someone embarrassing themselves.BatmanBegins24

That's a negative trait.

Example: Nintendo reached the casual press (new york times) and in general reached further marketing press than Sony or Microsoft. Nintendo had a winning strategy for E3 and it worked. Your just easily influenced by the judgement of your peers if that made you squirm.

Same here. When Cammie was describing her snowboarding accident I held my head in shame.

It was depressing is all...

Who the F gets angry when watching something? That's as about as stupid as getting angry at videogames.

Be cool, like this frog:

Me too.

I was embarrassed for them.

Then I watched this video parody of the conference: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ok4W9eXgy9I

It gets funnier every time I watch it!

How were you guys bored? It was so cheesy it was hilarious, and by far the most entertaining Conference of the 3.

No. E3 was that bad. I'm not even sure it was that great for the casuals, Wii music will not captivate them the way Wii Fit did imo, and the new Wii Sports is not going to sell 20 million more Wii's. The motion + thing (which I thought was pretty cool) seems more aimed at us core gamers, but they're tying it to a casual game.

And frankly, how long will the casual trend last in gaming? Nintendo can't have this approach forever, its called the law of diminishing returns. Casuals tend to herd to something that attracts them but then quickly move on to the next thing. You don't see people lining up twice to see a Michael Bay movie, how long will all these people stick with the Wii? Perhaps the flock will move away from gaming again and we can go back to the way things were. And then a new Kid Icarus or Punch Out won't be so far from our reach as they seem right now.

I expected them to at least apologize afterwards for not catering to the hardcore gamers.

At that G4 interview...the "Reginator" was asked what hardcore games were coming out.

He responded "Animal Crossing Wii".

I almost cried. =/

I wasn't angry at the Press Conference. The Soccer mom made me angry though...Kuhu

Agreed

The press conference was disappointing though.

I just laughed....and placed my Wii for sale on Craigslist.

I wasn't angry but I did have to step away for a wile.. it was painful. Kinda like watching a episode of According to Jim mixed with Hanna Montanna and topped with Reading Rainbow and Kid's News.

No.

When Cammie started off by talking about her mother's day card, I was laughing a bit. Then she kept smiling like she'd had way too much botox injected in, so I started laughing a bit more.

When she got to the wrist and puppies being cute and beating your boss I was laughing like crazy.

I feel asleep.

lol

LOL what was even worse was when reggie was like "lets play something more my speed." then he couldnt even control the freakin ski mobile thing lmao and that one dude playing wii music on the drums LMFAO

wii music... wtf were they doing!?

It's official.

The Wii is only good for 3rd party support (i.e Sonic Unleashed, The Force Unleashed, and What's With This Pattern Unleashed).

I WOULD say Spore, but you know that's going to be dumbed down so the soccer moms won't have to worry about any "ZOMGZ VYLINCE!1" and "OMG VYLINT CREECHERS1".

Naw,

Nintendo doesn't need "us" anymore, and as much as I was not too thrilled with the show. E3 is about business and chances are that Wii Music will outsell nearly every "hardcore" title that was displayed at E3 anyway.

Or taste in games evolves past talking on a farming game and waggle your hands to a an absolutely messy song based game.... and the snowboarding was genuinley quite bad.
