Remember last year when Nintendo dissappointed us with all the kiddy titles and such? Well, I too, was hoping for some actual hardcore games this year. Unfortunatly, Nintendo failed again, not because they were missing hardcore titles, but now because of the lack of announcements. I'll admit, Super Mario Galaxy 2 WAS A HUGE SURPRISE. I didn't see that coming, and New Super Mario Bros for the Wii was unexpected too,but that was mostlyit.
So what did Nintendo do to fill in the rest of the hour and 20 minutes? Mainly, they just started bragging, even though they really don't deserve the bragging rights. Financially, they did good. But who really cares about Mario Kart Wii anymore? Seriously, they started going on about these old games,and I think I even saw a mention of Super Mario Sunshine for theGamecube. Most of the show was also filled in with games already announced. They just talked about Wii Fit Plus and stuff, and The Conduit, and it was boring for the most part. Not all games shown have already been announced, but Nintendo failed us again this year.
I mean, I'm not expecting any (many)violent M rated games, but I expected, or at least wanted, for Nintendo to try something new. I mean, come on. It's been about how long since THEY'VE rolled out a new and popular character or series. They've gotta get off the casual train and try some new stuff. I mean, maybe GTA for the Wii? And if they can't get Rockstar to do that, how about they make their own rip-off of GTA for the Wii?
I am just upset with Nintendo. Why? In a short summary, it's because THEY DON'T GET IT. Nobody important watching this is a casual player. They're at least somewhat hardcore. Nintendo is failing to deliver that. They need to stop and deliver. If they can't, they might as well make a new system or something. And I mean NEW and more NEXT-GENERATION. I'm not very happy with them right now. I'll admit, they have their moments, and they definetly did this year at E3, but not enough.
