    Unfortunately, those 5 points sum up all of Nintendo's press conference.



    When that Cammy woman started rambling on about her snowboarding holiday, I was so close to switching off. As the article says "months of anticipation" ... and that is what we get? Some random woman crapping on about a holiday? >_>
    Then Sean White demoed his own game ... and kept falling off the goddamn snowboard (X_X)

    When the Nintendo crew started "demonstrating" Wii Music I didn't know whether to laugh ... or cry.

    Yeah, but that's kind of the whole point to Wii games. Nobody plays them to look cool. In fact, just about everyone looks like an idiot playing them.

      There is a video somewhere on youtube a friend of mine uploaded of a bunch of us playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympics. Let me just tell you - I look like I am convulsing.

    Numbers 2 and 4 rang out the most. I recall hearing "hardcore" and being excited. Then it ended and it was like it was your birthday and all day no one has acknowedged it. They even went out of their way with Wii Music to make sure that competitive goal-roiented gamers were disappointed by having no specific beat or notes to follow in songs. :/ "Hahahaha you HAVE to play this casually!"

    You know a game needs work when the people who own the company can't even play it. Failing at throwing a frisbee to a dog with the excuse "It's too sensitive" isn't a GOOD thing. :/

    Cammy Dunaway was just fail in and of herself.

    I hope at next year's E3 they keep her locked in her cage.

    Number 5 should be at number 1 and number 3 should be at number 2.

    Number 3 is sooooo true. I was pretty much quiet the whole time too.

    "blah blah blah failed Snowboarding trip"
    "blah blah blah puppies are cute"

    Me: X_X

    This is probably the funniest article I've read so far. Especially with the pictures...Shyamalan's picture wins all though, spazzing ftw.

    Number 1 speaks the truth. My *bleep*ing ears nearly fell off.

    "Then Reggie demoed a jet ski mini game by waving his arms wildly and erratically steering like a kamikaze alcoholic stunt car driver and we were left more confused than informed."

    I lol'd at that.

    Basically, Nintendo realized that they don't need the hardcore market anymore, and has completely turned a blind eye. It's about this time when I wished the Wii didn't sell well at all.

    Numbers 3 and 4 aren't as embarassing as they are career threatening.

    It's funny how one little conference managed to push a lot of fans away.

    Eh, nothing really beats Sony's E3 2006 conference as far as embarrassment goes. "IT'S RIDGE RACER! RIIIDGE RACER!!!"

    E3 2008 for Nintendo wasn't even watchable. Honestly, Cammie and Reggie we're just pathetic and made me lose almost my respect for Nintendo as a gaming company overall.

    This year's E3 was absolutely horrible. They'd better fix it up next year top notch: new handheld, good games, there you go.

      Sony didn't have that bad of a showing, Nintendo sucked, Microsoft was almost par.... yeah I suppose it wasn't great, but not absolutely horrible.

        This is considering that since I am a Nintendo fanboy, I only watched the Nintendo conference.

    I honestly think this topic is pointless.
