Nintendo’s E3 2008 Press Conference has ended which focused around Wii Music, and sales numbers. Reggie did mention that both the Mario, and Zelda teams are hard at work on games, but besides that statement Nintendo didn’t really have much to show the ‘Veteran’ gamers. Animal Crossing City Folk, and GTA Chinatown Wars were pushed as the hardcore games, but that was it. I don’t mean to sound…ungrateful for what was shown. The software such as Wii Sports Resort looks like great fun as well as the new Wii microphone for Animal Crossing.
What do you think? Was the conference a bit of a let down, or does Animal Crossing fill your hardcore needs? I know I feel a bit disappointed.
I have no money, I have a life, and I have less time to play. The only reason I would buy another video game is if Nintendo revived the Punch Out! franchise using a refined control scheme from the Wii Sports Boxing. Either that or some game that is jawdropping aaaand I have to say… Wii Music didn’t cut it for me. In a field flooded with popular games such as Rock Band and Guitar Hero, how can Nintendo convince people that theirs is worth buying? That you need no musical experience or ability to hit buttons at the right time? I’m sorry but it seems to me like childsplay. I’m nintendo fanboy, but I still can’t go along with this one, maybe the drumming but the rest is… dull. Wii Sports sequel seemed refreshing but why were those games the ones chosen to go on display? Honestly, I thought Wii Sports was a template of some sort to show 3rd party developers how to make use of the wii ramote and give customers a demo or trial of what was to come. The wii remote has become a mini game gimmick that has no sophistication. Granted, nintendo chooses to make risks and not just “whoring” up the games with its graphics to make them sell well, but the possibilities are endless and they do nothing. Nintendo games take a while to make, but when its just waving the remote around what is the point spending so much time on the quality? Just shoot them out like the 3rd party developers. (is there a My Little Pony wii game yet?) Maybe if nintendo does that they might eventually send one out thats gold.
@Final Fantasy alone made a lot of fantasies come true. @
Completely agree
Personally I was not expecting much from this years Nintendo E3 announcements. Its nice to hear about the new Wii sports, Wii music, and I a cant wait for sim city and GTA chinatown wars…on Wii!!! The new accessories are cool as well, mic etc. I was not expecting to hear anything about Mario, Zelda, or Metroid…its too early for that new stuff, considering almost everything good came out in about the first year, which was a nice gesturer from Nintendo. So no let down, just what I expected.
As in the last post I agree with Luigifan14,except for CoD5 of course.I guess I’ll be doing a lot of chores for the next year,I’ve been slacking off lately.
