What a horrible let-down. Most exciting news for the whole thing was Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown for the DS, followed by a Wii microphone for Animal Crossing: City Folk. Everything else was just casual dreck that I really don't care about.
I sure hope they're having more announcements later in the week. Big announcements that I'll actually care about.
HAHAHAHAH!!! I'll admit it was lackluster. Definitely not anything i'll be thinking about for the nest week like Microsoft's. As for Ninty's aim at the casual gamer. It's a moneymaker for them. The casual gamer has boosted DS and Wii sells substansially. Haye to say it, but Nintendo wants money and there are way more casual gamers out there to catch than hardcore gamers to persuade. =/
So far, the only thing E3 has TRULY excited me about is Fallout 3 and Fable 2, and my brother and best friend are really excited about Gears of War and Res E 5 (never got into either series). Now, all of these games have been known about for ages, and only Fallout showed playable footage for the first time.
So far, only big surprise is FFXIII going 360....
Animal Crossing, a game I really like, is looking nice...but it's still using the graphics from the N64 DD...you'd think they give a Mario Galaxy touch or something...
Yes Fallout 3. My gosh. Was amazing. Gears also has me excited as does RE5. As for AC...another person was talking about that on another board. I don'tmind the graphics. I mean...those are AC graphics, right? It's supposed to look like that, I thought. *shrugs*
Yeah, I agree with the first post in this topic. Well, I guess we'll just have to see if anything pops up later on during e3. Atleast I know they are making a new Zelda. :/
Actually Nintendo conference can be sum up in two gif.
Well I heard Capcom's sucked more than Nintendo though.
Something about a showing a 30 minute movie. lol
HAHAHAHAHAHA! @ Shadonics gif. And XDXDXDXD!!! @ Incognito's sig of the man dancing because he's not the father.
I think we all can agree E3 is awful...wait, didn't we already know that?
Awful? Come on now. If you got an invitation to go...you know you would. But Capcom showed a 30 minute video? Really!? Dang. But hey they're 3rd party we can't throw them in with Ninty. =P
Capcom spent their entire time, talking about a movie=fail
Nintendo didn't show much of anything jaw dropping exciting=fail (Unless you're just part of the casual crowd)
E3 has finally became a 'you had to be there' event, because it's become completely useless to pretty much everyone who isn't there.
In other news, looks like Microsoft just gave Bungie a serious case of 'E3 blue balls'.
And here's a third gif for the Nintendo conference.
I feel your pain Torn. I know, I know...it was lame. Speaking of Capcom though...like...i've been watching G4...and apparently they just talked about getting an exclusive look at SF IV because I never saw it. Did see Bionic Commando though. Mighty great. But my fuggin' Street Fighter IV! Where is it!? And what movie were they talking about? That Chun-Li movie? lol I haven't even heard anything about Capcom yet, really.
XDXD!!! Thse gif. My gosh. We should spam Ninty's email with these things. Hahah
SF4 is in Japan, search youtube for vids of Zangief being top tier. SF4 not getting a console release until Feb 2009.
Apparently we should be really happy...
I still remember a rant I had about Nintendo's arrogance back in 2004 or 2004...
Hmm
True Nintendo can be a bit arrogant considering Wii's still sell like crazy but...yea. I'm witholding judgement for now but it doesn't seem like a smart plan. And I know hardly any serious gamers that play the Wii very much...if at all. That's the main reason why I sold mine...come on Nintendo, make me want the Wii again!
Oh yea and they fail for making the Wii the least powerful of the next gen (If it's even that, more like Gamecube 1.5) or they too could have had FF13!
Yea I know it's in Japan, but like I saw an arcade machine...and a guy was playing it and I might've just missed what he said. I'm guessing it won't be coming to arcades here in America...only consoles? But serious gamers playing the Wii...well I consider myself a somewhat serious gamer and I play my Wii. Then again that's all I really have now and the majority of what I play on it...is retro stuff. Heh. But i've got faith in them...they'll deliver. As for it being the weakest of the systems, i've always been an underdog supporter[and for the Wii that's only in graphics because it seems in everything else it's leading tremondously]. But I really really want that $400 PS3. Christmas...please...answer my call! I need to play my PS2 titles and pick up some new things.
Oh yea...and did Nintendo even mention the words Kid and Icarus together in a sentence? I think not. *goes bonkers*
