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.

So do I.

But Nintendo really aren't doing much to help their image and get much notice outside of the already knowing fans.

It was hardly great all round though was it.

Ohhh PS2, MGS3 and Gran Turismo 4

Whoop de do


And the XBox was just a load of FPS we

A: Already knew about
and
B: Can play on a PC

That and they said how it's going to be more like a PC, with this digital photo storing and all that crap.


I still think Nintendo's games were far more promising.

I'm not anti Nintendo, far from it. I just don't think everything they touch turns to gold, just because i've said a few negative things about them doesn't mean i've all of a sudden decided I don't like them.

> There are loads of impressive games at Nintendo's booth, what the hell
> is your problem?

I never said there wasn't.

I just think that Nintendo could have done a lot better, it was a really lacklustre E3 for them.

He didn't say that.


He said there is a sequel to WW in the works, and then there is a game called Tetra's Trackers.


Completely different. It isn't four swords either.
