How is oh yeah kirby 2. Im waitin for the mario/link/samus revealment.


Sorry sweetie, it's not "Kirby 2" for it's a remake of Kirby Super Star which is the 4th game of the main series. Sorry sweetie, I'm a huge Kirby fan. XD

Anyway I'm pretty excited about Animal Crossing City Folk, Wario Land and the new Pokémon Ranger, and I'm uber excited about Kirby Super Star Ultra x3. I'm looking forward to Wii Music because it looks like a cute fun version of Rock Band without having to buy expensive large plastic instruments just for one game. XD
Plus the Mario theme is a bonus. X3

I'm also waiting for a new Mario, Mertoid, and or Zelda announcement. XD

I have found the conference pretty disappointing, mainly because it was shamelessly targeted at casual gamers. In the other hand, I'm pretty sure that Nintendo hasn't left us old gamers alone, or so I hope.

About WiiSports2 and WiiMusic, I don't really care. Animal Crossing looks really decent, though. What I'm looking forward to, as Jeremy, are Wario Land 5 (looks better with each new trailer), Kirby Super Star (really caught my interest recently), the games Square was working on, and the Zelda game that has been dancing around Rumourland the previous days.

And remember than SSBB was announced two days after the conference, there is still hope!

So we have yet another piece of plastic, bundled with minigames and dramatically scaled down versions of GTA and CoD. Surprisingly, the latest accessory will most likely sell millions. o:

As each year passes, Nintendo seems to grow increasingly irrelevant to the more serious gamers. At least the minigames will turn out enjoyable the handful of times we dust off the system for parties and the like.

This was the most disappointing conference of them all. :/ My internet cut out near the end of it and I didn't care in the slightest because by then I wasn't even paying attention. Not only was the ENTIRE conference boring, filled with sales figures we (gamers) don't care about, but even the parts where they showed off games were mediocre.

Animal Crossing Wii
I've never played an AC game so I wasn't too interested in this. The only thing that really caught my attention was the voice chat feature and as Illyria so aptly put it, that's more of a "welcome to 5 years ago wii" revelation than anything. <_<;

Snowboarding Game
Nice to see the balance board get some attention but it honestly just reminds me of those made-for-tv games they used to advertise. :/ More gimmicky than anything, but hey, that's what this generation is all about for Nintendo. (Dear god I've become so jaded, ahaha.)

Spore
Interesting to see it on the DS. I didn't see enough of it to make any judgment nor have I touched the PC version but hopefully more details will be available later.

GTA: Chintatown Wars
Never played a GTA game yet (don't hurt me D8) but I was a litle surprised to see this one. o_O Not exactly the first kind of game I think of when I see Nintendo.

Wii Sports Resort
The only thing that makes the new remote functionality even remotely worth it to me is that fencing minigame. I can see that being a useful application to future games--actually having to aim your slashes? Interesting. As for the minigames themselves... yeah, no interest from me, to be honest. :/ They all looked like tools up on stage like that.

Wii Music
This looked almost interesting until it was revealed that you really need no musical talent and the game plays itself for you. What's the point?

All in all, I thought it was a terrible conference. The whole time I just said there bored out of my mind, or terribly unimpressed at everything they had to offer. Anything that was interesting was either skimmed over or else it was something announced ages ago. (I've known about Pokémon Ranger 2 for ages now. Why mention a side-game no one likes and not Platinum, a main entry in the series!?) I didn't go into this conference expecting much, but I was still disappointed. Go figure.

If I missed something, it's because it wasn't memorable enough for mention. :(

edit: Ack, thread was renamed. This is my opinion on Nintendo, back when it was a Nintendo-only thread. XD I'm writing up a huuuuuge LJ post with my final thoughts on all of them. Maybe I'll edit it down for PC later.

Hey whochanged it?! I meant this nintendo only! Darn. Now we have no choice but to talk bout how happy the ps3/360 owners probably are.
Obviously a moderator. [omg big shocker there.]

I changed it so we wouldn't have 500 threads about how pathetic the conferences were and about individual games that were announced.

Seeing as most of the games announced had little, if any, information about them out, there is no point in making a whole thread with speculation and utter rubbish. With a main thread for everything E3, things will be less cluttered and people can discuss the entire event as a whole along with any games they liked/disliked that were shown.

I am most happy about Animal Crossing, Wii Music, Wii Sport Resorts, and the little (not) hints of new Zelda and Mario Wii games.

Ben: Oh, you guys. Stop calling them. You can call me all you want.

Laura: Okay...

Eric: Oh, oh, okay.

Ben: Just don't make it between the times of midnight and 6:00 AM because I am sleeping.

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: And if my speakers go off...

Andrew: [Laughs] No you're not.

Ben: Yeah, well, sometimes I am. Occasionally.

Eric: And people of the world, don't call him on Skype, Sundays between like 3:00 and 8:00 PM because that's when he edits the show.

Andrew: When he does, yeah.

Ben: If you call me...okay...you think a dementor is bad? You think Lord Voldemort is bad? [In deep voice] You haven't felt the wrath of Ben Schoen.
