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.
