I'm asking this as a serious question. Was AC: City Folk the only game announced by Nintendo at E3? I know that there is also Wii Resort and Wii Music, but was AC the only "real" game announced?

DAM IT MIYAMOTO

Okay hear theres gonna be another Press confernece for Nintendo hopefully. Going to check it on G4 live stream because IGN's wasn't giving me the good stuff.

Omg spire where do you come up with such intelligent posts.

So todays press conference was just for Casuals. But then there may be 1 tomorrow and we may see the GUNS. Okay i tink i got some hype back. thanks man
Where did you hear about another conference?

Does anybody else think that the G4 hosts should never be allowed to play Rock Band in public again...they should have at least made it so we could only hear the music :ohwell: they sounded terrible.

OK Zelda confirmed, and maybe Kid Icarus. They are slowly but surely making up for it, now all I need is a Pikmin Wii confirmation.

GTA DS was announced.
I don't play GTA games. That's why I look forward to stuff like AC and KH. I'm more of a lighthearted kind of guy. XD

Zelda confirmations is nice I guess. I don't know I wasn't very happy with TP and don't really want more of the same. I'd like to see something else. But if they can pull of something different (like that april fools future Zelda trailer) I could definately get into that.

OK, so here's (albeit probably far fetched) viewon why Nintendo didn't show any core games minus AC.

So as you all know, E3 is neutered. As someone on GameFAQs calmly pointed out, it's now aimed for journalists and stockholders.

Now obviously with the Wii winning this petty console war by a large margin due to it's family friendly philosophy. By showing Wii Music. This will be a hotcake to the casuals. They're happy, shareholders are happy, Nintendo's happy. And of course, they are still developing games for their hardcore as well. They probably thought E3 wouldn't be a good place to show them to stockholders.

Now obviously with the 360 in second place and the PS3 struggling further behind, MS and Sony NEEDED to show SOMETHING good to make a come back. For MS, it was Final Fantasy XIII. Getting a third party game of a very popular series was their trump card. Otherwise, MS's conference would too have also been mediocre.


Long story short: Nintendo was pleasing there stockholders by showing that the Wii's family friendly orientation will keep money in their stocks.

That's my two cents anyway

Just read on IGN about Sony's partner ship with Bones, this is old new but I didn't watch the Sony conference and apparently the PSN network is only getting one anime from Bones? It's called Xam'D and I'll probably check it out, but I'd like to see more of Bones work if they are going to have a "partnership" particularly Full Metal Alchemist, Eureka Seven and of course Cowboy Bebop (the greatest anime ever)

Long story short: Nintendo was pleasing there stockholders by showing that the Wii's family friendly orientation will keep money in their stocks.
I can understand why they would do this, but then when do they plan on appealing to the core gamers? I'm really hoping they announce more later, they can't be oblivious to the fact that this info is put all over the internet and covered live by G4 :ohwell:

Why would they?
I meant as a part of the sales speech by Reggie. I'm very, very surprised that they didn't mention how successfully Brawl has sold so far.

Definately not happy with Nintendo's press conference today. I've calmed down, but I'm still quite dissapointed.

IGN stated that Wii Sports 2 is coming next week. wow that was fast.

Any ways Rumor is that Nintendo is going to reveal its REAL games tomorrow.

They mentioned that it sold almost more than 5 million units...thats almost as much as Melee.

...they did? I completely missed it then. Let's move along now :)

Hopefully these rumours of more games being announced by Nintendo tomorrow and the day after are true. If they pulled a Brawl then I'd be one happy camper.

By reading this I'd say it's pretty clear you don't own a 360. For me, owning a 360 and having a lot of money invested in it, the conference was great. The new dashboard looks great, Live Primetime looks pretty sweet, avatars, despite being a Mii knock off, look like they'll be integrated into games and the system better than Nintendo has done with Miis and there were tons of blockbuster titles shown. The only thing that I didn't get yesterday was information on whatever Bungie is announcing tomorrow. In the end, it's a press conference. It's just information being thrown at you. It doesn't matter if it's boring, it's what they announce and what they show, and Microsoft had both of those areas covered more than well enough.

And to whoever mentioned Spaceworld - Haha. Good luck with Nintendo revitalizing that event.

Uhm what more is there to do with them then just sticking their faces on things and having them preform random actions such as dancing and duck hunting...lol

Too bad SHAREHOLDERS and not GAMERS were the ones at E3. Therefore, it was their opinions that matter at the moment. And the moment is, they don't like that 360 is not as popular as the Wii.

And I don't own any of the current gen consoles.

Why does everybody keep posting about GTA for the DS...it's done and over and it wasn't even that good of an announcement, especially the title Chinatown Wars? Will it be full of Asian stereotypes or something?

YES POSSIBLE PIKMIN CONFIRMATION!! http://wii.ign.com/articles/890/890276p1.html

"The Pikmin team is, of course, still there and maybe we'll have something to talk about before too long."

This quote will keep me awake all night with excitment...as creepy as that is.

'We don't really have a question. We just want you to make another Galaxy game.' To this, Miyamoto replied, "Leave it to me." Yay Galaxy sequel?

We have three days. Three days for Nintendo to tell us something big. If that never happens, then I'm hoping for something at the TGS, but if its announced then, I doubt it will be a holiday release.
Speaking of the Tokyo Game Show, when is it being held this year?

Probably.

But still, some of the words I've been hearing about Nintendo not being done yet are heartening. But I don't know if I can repair the hole they punched this morning when they said they had one more big announcement, the screen went blank AND......a Mii appeared. PLAYING DRUMS. That destroyed me inside. Seriously, I was so stupid for expecting something good from them today. But hope springs eternal, right? After all, look what they were doing before video games were invented.

New Mario Bros sequel?
Woohoo! Hopefully, it's true. I loved New Super Mario Bros. I got every single giant coin thing in every level and completed every level on challenge mode.

I DESTROYED THAT GAME.

And I want more.

Hopefully tomorrow won't still have Nintendo drop kicking us with the promise of something exciting only to have a Mii... playing drums.

http://wii.ign.com/articles/890/890276p1.html 3rds time the charm...

By his logic, there wont be a hardcore game til 2 or 3 years, cause he states a game is shown when developers have reached a certain point, in which its ok to show the game and hype it, but they showed TP in 2004, and it came out in 2006, so, if no titles were shown, and theyll be shows at the GDC or next e3... yeah were screwed...

I know im exagerating, but by his logic, thats how it would turn out...
Ur still an inspiration miyamoto...

No, I'm still left without my third favorite game franchise ever, F-Zero. Hell hath no fury like a Nintendo fanboy scored.

dont forget kid icarus wii...
I mean i like miyamotos hints... but seriously compare an interview with miyamoto, where he hints videogames, to a trailer like god of war 3 that just screams '**** yes you want this game'...
all im saying is that i want actual trailers >.<

If nintendo pulls a stunt at E3 then what kinda stunt do you think it will be?

Star Fox stunt

*shows clips of Nintendo conferences*

"Im sorry but CAN'T LET YOU DO THAT NINTENDO!!!"

*shows clips of MS and Sonys conferences"

"your Good BUT IM BETTAH!!!"

F-Zero stunt

"COMON you really think Nintendo's E3 was going to end that fast?"


Also Matt expresses his views on Nintendo's conference

Yeah, we were overreacting. The conference wasn't terrible, they did give away some good stuff. A little bit. Animal Crossing=pretty cool. Voice chat=yes. Wii sword fighting=count me in. So yeah. I hope to be seeing some spacefurries soon, but I won't get my hopes too high.

On an unrelated note, it's apparently against the rules to have your message shorter than your sig. Yet I've been caught for it twice in the past two days after doing it for almost two years in the Brawl discussion areas. Are there no mods there?

Anyway, Nintendo's winning in sales, which just gives them more funding to make better stuff, right? Maybe they need that new funding for a new system they're making. We should start thinking more positive. Which will be easier once they announce us some REAL games.
