"A half-arsed E3 and Mario Kart's too slow......"

What's up with that?

Anyone who's paid any attention to the Ninty side of E3 this year would have to be a fanboy to not agree that it's been a total non-event. An extreme lack of any really big announcements other than some complete cashin Pokemon games and some terrible GBA link-up things.

What's going on with Nintendo?

They say they've adopted a more aggressive approach an then they attend the biggest gaming show in the world and there wasn't a single thing on show that was really good that we hadn't seen before. Sony announce the Playstation portable, new Gran Turismo game, new MGS game, they announce a massive deal with EA for exclusive rights to the online sports line-up. Microsoft unveil Halo 2, Doom 3 amongst other things.

Where's all the amazing 1st party support from Nintendo?

Oh and to rub salt in the wounds, every single person at IGN says that Mario Kart is too slow.

pft

No Skies or Metroid?


You have no credability.

For me:

> Geist - maybe
> Mario Tennis - maybe
> Final Fantasy - no
> Mario 128 - Definitely
> Pikmin 2 - no
> F-Zero - Definitely
> Skies Of Arcadia Legends - no
> Metroid Prime 2 - No
> Galleon - no
> SSX 3 - maybe
> Dead Phoenix - maybe
> PN.O3 - maybe
> Killer 7 - maybe
> Mario Kart - Definitely
> Sphinx - maybe
> MGS: Twin Snakes - maybe
> Medal Of Honour: Rising Sun - No
> Rogue Leader III - Definitely
> Star Fox 2/Armada - Definitely


Not so great a line up in my opinion. IN MY OPINION.

IMO of course :P

PC for me, but even if I add the games I'll get on PC that are exclusive to XBox (console wise), it would still only be 7 games.

alot of good x-box games ported from pc... hmm a tough choice play it on pc or x-box?

Yeah, E3 was so poor my 'must buy' list for GC has 29 games in it.

In comparison, the XBox list has...4.


Whether you think E3 was poor or not, you should be abe to shrug and realise there are a truck load of brilliant games coming out. If you can't, what kind of gamer are you?

He's right there you know.

This E3 was a bit dissapointing if you compare it to previous E3's. After all there were a few good games here and if Mario Kart really is too slow, I'm sure Nintendo will speed it up. Don't worry Ninty know what their doing.
