Nintendo's E3 press conference this year...
15 years ago
General
Does anyone even read Journals anymore?
...
You guys know me right?
You know I'm not a Nintendo Fanboy and when they sucked the last two years, I was not holding back to show how much I think they spiraled downward. So you know if I talk good about Nintendo, I mean it and it had credibility.
This years conference was the BEST. Not only of Nintendo's conferences, but of all the conferences of all publishers and developers on E3.
I'm not kidding.
You remember everything the did wrong last year? Like for example showing stuff no one was really interested in, at least no one in the audience and make it up to be big, awesome and the best Nintendo could put out? They fixed that? Basically they showed only stuff people wanted to see, stuff that people were crying for. For years.
-Goldeneye: 007
-Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
-Kirby's Epic Yarn
-Donkey Kong Country Returns
-Kid Icarus: Uprising
Yes, you read that right. Goldeneye and Kid Icarus. New games. I shit you not. And they all look brilliant. Of course, trailers look always good, so lets hope they gameplay can deliver on that.
They also showed alot of games that were announced but didnt had much footage on last year, like:
-Golden Sun: Dark Dawn
-Metroid Other M
-Epic Mickey
-Dragon Quest: Sentinels of the Starry Sky
The also showed Wiiparty, which is like Mario Party but without Mario and online. And Just Dance 2. I'm not interested much. Then there was also Mario Sports pack, 11 or so sport games featuring Mario and the crew in one Wii Disk. Not too exciting, but looks actually good and playable.
They also showed what everyone was hyping: The Nintendo 3DS. And they sure know how to market it. The above mentioned Kid Icarus is for it, and darn does it look good, along better Wii graphics. On a handheld. So yeah, in terms of graphic and gameplay possibilities the 3DS kicks Sony's PSP again with this update. Also you can now make 3d pics and videos thanks to two inbuilt cameras, which doesn't sounds too exciting for me but is neat for cam lovers I guess.
What blew my mind hwoever was the announcements of third party games for wii and 3DS. Among them is Konami with -I shit you not- MGS. For either the Wii or 3DS. Yes, the rumor was out there, like, 3 years ago. But they made it. And Capcom wants to bring a new RE title too. EA wants to make a new Assassins Creed and Square Enix a new Kingdom Hearts.
So, game wise, Nintendo already won with so many high quality announcements. But what about thze presentation?
Well, Reggie wasn't as obnoxious as the last times today, so I forgive him. Iwata and Miyamoto were there, and Miyamoto kinda failed at presenting the new Zelda, possibly due to interferences and playing it on a stage and not directly in front of a TV. But he still made it look cool. Then there was the presentation of Epic Mickey gameplay, and WARREN FUCKING SPECTOR aka THE man went onto the stage to talk about it. They also showed some "entertaining" videos of Reggie, Iwata and co playing 3ds and getting sucked into it and (my favorite part) Bowser blasting Reggie in the face with his fire breath. Also interviews about 3rd party developers like for example Hideo Kojima talking about what to do with the 3DS. Aside of that, they had many cool stage effects with special lightning and people seemingly appearing out of nowhere or in cool fashions, and also at the end show cased a nice treat for the gamers - Nintendo not only had many gaming booths with the new Zelda and other games come up out of the ground so people can play the games in the Nokia Theatre, but also hired hundreds of attractive girls with belt-attached 3DS's on them so people can play the new 3DS games, while being near a sexy women.
Nintendo, hands down, I have to apologize. You redeemed yourself by not only announcing and presenting games that casual and hardcore gamers will play, but also presenting them all in good, entertaining ways. You have the best conference of them all.
Lets see how Sony will try to top that. :P
# Edited this in afterwards, you can also watch 3d movies on the 3DS, but can you imagine buying Avatar and the like to see them in probably slightly lesser quality on a tiny poststamp screen? I guess not, that was what broke the PSP's UMD neck.

Zelda trailers often tend to lie a lot (like trailers do in general).
You also forgot to mention Paper Mario 3DS.
Also, why aren't you online? D:
