Nintendos' E3 Press Conference Discussion Thread

[Dzapper]

Ok first of all I'm really impressed with the games that are coming to the Wii this year. A lot of them look very promising and the hardcore gamer is definitely getting their fix this year and next year.

But let me address the conference itself for a minute, I believe Nintendo's conference was good. Their main tag line was games for everyone and they did showcase games for EVERYONE. Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Dead Space: Extraction, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, The Conduit, and Metroid Other M were all given some kind of love. Also, most of you only think the other conferences were better because their motion control stuff was "new", mind you Nintendo has had motion control since the Wii launched. And I really wasn't impressed with SONY's controller, it was just two motionplus Wiimotes. If Nintendo had saved the announcement of Wiimotionplus for this year, then you all would have been satisfied. But the fact is they just ushered in the technology first. So don't put so much emphasis on this one conference, look at the big picture. Motionplus is still awesome, new core games are rolling in, and Third Parties are taking notice.

Nice observation. I agree.

So IGN says that High Voltage will be showing an unannounced title on Thursday.... Do you think that's just outdated? They already announced Gladiator A.D. and The Grinder...

I'm exited for the Mario games and the Metroid games

You're only telling yourself what you want to hear. True or not.

No believe him. If you have the Nintendo Channel go on it and it shows you previews of upcoming games There like 3 Mario games coming up, 1 Metroid, and even a Pokemon Game. There are more but I'm exited for those specially Metroid and Super Mario Bros Wii.

I believe all of our statements are fueled by some degree of personal bias. But no one can deny that there has already been much more attention given to the core Wii gamer so far this year, and with more good games coming on the way. My main point is just to overlook the ho-hum conference and look at the big picture.

P.S. You are right though. Just like you've been telling yourself "Nintendo sucks, and I'm gonna bash em every chance I get" for the past 3 years. Wether that's true or not...you wanna hear it, so you keep telling it to yourself.

Nintendo is my favorite videogame company. They come up with cool games and fasinating technology.
