E3 2008 - The Official Thread of Sheer Joy!

Agreed.

I was surprised they revealed something like Wii Speak, actually. In my opinion, that was the best thing that was announced, and it still wasn't that good...

The MotionPlus thing was pretty good too. And I wouldn't mind another Wii Sports.

Nintendo's E3 conference can be sumerized in one word: Titanic

Well, that was boring.

I'm sure the new Animal Crossing will appeal to some people, but it's not my thing. The same goes for Wii Music. It looks fairly intuitive, but not something I'll pick up. The new GTA game for DS was the only thing that caught my attention, but they didn't show anything, so that didn't mean much. The Wii Motion Plus could make games a little more enjoyable though. You kind of have to wonder why they didn't include its features in the first place though.

Overall, one of Nintendo's most mediocre E3s in a while. I was really hoping that they'd announce those "core" games like they promised, but there wasn't much. So far their conference ranks below Microsoft's for me. Kind of what I expected from E3 this year though. Hopefully Sony's will be better, because they need an awesome conference more than either Microsoft and Nintendo to stay relevant in the coming year.

I guess Microsoft and Sony will win this year:

Microsoft with Fable 2 (Which I'm planning on getting)
Sony with FF:XIII

I do find the new Animal Crossing game on the Wii intersting, but it's no Kid Icarus or Zelda.

Sony's Conference is today, in an hour, at 1:30 Central, actually.

This was the most failure filled E3 in history! They didn't even announce 10 games! Wheres Kid Icarus? Zelda? WHERE ARE THE HARDCORE GAMES?! It sucked! PLEASE TELL ME PS3 AND XBOX 360 HAD A BETTER E3!

Worst. E3. Ever.

For Nintendo and only Nintendo. The 360's conference was great, and Sony would have to basically sit there and do nothing to have a bad show with all the great games they have coming this Fall and Spring.

face it guys, we got screwed... badly... God bless FFXIII & Banjo.

No, Sony is doing theirs next. As in today.

People saying it was the worst e3 ever are overreacting O-o. It wasn't very good but it wasn't terrible.

It's amazing holy quickly you guys forget Sony '06.

Reggie is on my TV. I'm flipping him off because he is a moron. They suck.

Yeah, Animal Crossing: City Folk was the biggest thing. The additions of cities is cool, and VOICE CHAT finally surfaced! Not to mention they're bringing back better holidays (as they showed AC-ified Easter and Halloween). Also, Wii Sports: Resort and Wii Music look kinda cool. Other than that, this conference was one big bore. I was happy to not hear about a DS redesign, though.

the thing that really pisses me off is how they smile while crapping all over their old, loyal fanbase.
Really now, it's okay to want to get more people interested but give us SOMETHING!

I am going to get a used X-Box from gamestop. I won't dump my wii, but I'm going to get other stuff.

One word:

Disappointed

I guess I'll have to stick wityh TP for a while.

That GTA game was the only thing that made me go omg.
The rest of it made me wish I didn't wake up at 2:00 AM and was still sleeping.

I should probably stay up for Sonys one, just so I'm not very disappointed with E3 this year.
I must say Microsofts was good, much better then Nintendos.

AHHH, why must my internet be acting up now fo all times.

New Nintedo IP's!

Wii School - you pretend to be a student from some elementary school and the homework is done for you. And the tests are easy like 1+1 and 2+2.

Wii Restaurant - you pretend to be going at Mcdonald and ordering eating your food. When you walk around, you lose weight and it's implemented directly on Wii Fit.

Wii Friends - you pretend to have more friends. Also, they always compliment you.

Wii Office - You pretend to be working hard, while you're hardly working.

I'm crying on the inside....I'm also listening to Reggie say "How can core gamers be unhappy when we've just put out the Animal Crossing with features everyone wants" Man, as the thing went on, inside me I knew this was going to be a massive let down.

Wii sports 2 looks decent, the only selling point to me though is the little motion peripheral thing. I can buy that separately too...I can't believe we actually have to buy it though, some strange force told me that when I was buying the Wii remote I was buying the whole motion package.

Animal Crossing and GTA were the only freaking heavy hitters...which is pretty sad. There wasn't even any GTA footage >____< The music game seems entertaining and I actually smiled when they had the whole Mario thing going but I still don't particularly want it....damn it Nintendo...damn it.

WORST E3 EVER!

At least for animal crossing and the WiiSpeak gadget thing.

EDIT: =O MOD DOUBLE POSTED!!!!

I can't tell you how hard I laughed...then I looked down at the picture...

Yeah, Miyamoto had probably just struck an iceberg. Question is: Does he even know it?


As for the Zelda Wii, just how far along are they? They may not even be done with the character designs and the settings. The reason they didn't have it for the show was because they simply didn't have it to that level yet.

Same with Kid Icarus. SSBB just came out last year. If they are working on a KI: Wii, then they are probably just making designs and the plots and the lore and stuff.
