What were you expecting from Nintendo at E3 '08?

[Joeshie]

I was at least expecting some rehashed franchises.

What I would have really like from Nintendo is a new core IP. Not a new casual game. Not a rehashed core game. A new core game.

However, seeing as it's Nintendo, the odds of that are around 0.0000000001%

Judging from past experience (N64 and Gamecube) there's always been two 3D Pokemon games on each console, and judging by how utterly garbage Battle Revolution was, I'm really hoping that the sequel will be much better; I'm looking for leaderboards, personal stat tracking and better effects.

Pikmin, and I'm pissed it didn't happen. I don't even own a wii because there hasn't been any reason for me to purcahse it. 4/6 people I hang out with, at their house and what have you, have Wiis. There is no reason for me to buy one for a singleplayer experience that doesn't exist already, somewhere else. Animal Crossing was fun, for maybe a week, but it's really the sims with more quirks and a time operable environment.

Fencing looks fun, but again, my friends already have Wiis, and I'd only play it with them anyways. Same with SSB

I was expecting them to show something awesome. And I got Deadly Creatures.

So I'm quite happy with Nintendo.

I'm bothered by what that Cammie woman said their core fans should do while waiting for ACTUAL GAMES: "Play more Mario Kart and play more Smash Bros! "

Yeah, THANKS. >(

Yeah, it's not like those aren't games we've already played to death anyway.

I think I'll just play Fallout 3 whilst I wait for ACTUAL games from Nintendo.

That, or maybe Duke Nukem Forever will come out before that actually happens.

FFFFFFFFFFF-----ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Seriously, cars flying around at 2000 km/hr, no cheapass weapons, just pure speed. and LSD.

What I was expecting? Not much. Here's a quote of me in a different forum, it's what the Big 3 were really saying at E3:

'Microsoft = We have massive dicks, watch us use other peoples ideas.
Sony = We have massive dicks also, watch as we sell you false hope for our future.
Nintendo = We have the most massive dicks, watch as we say peripherals are useless and then sell you plastic for $50'

Look at what they did unveil though. A chuffing microphone!! Thank you Nintendo! And the new motion peripheral is a good idea. Critics who tried it at E3 said it worked really well, and hopefully it can take us further away from tacked on simple controls and leading to a more original gaming experience.

You know Mics have been around for a long time late 08 is really sad.

shatner, chuffing means fucking, not excellent. they were taking the piss.

that and i agree with you wholeheartadly, i gave up after the 64. i had a gamecube for a month tops because i noticed i could finish any game in a day or two.

 

[Copter400]

.......they are just being singled out because they are always expected to razzle and dazzle at E3.

No, they are being singled out because they had the worse showing period.

Nintendo have got our hardcore backs covered, we're just going to have to wait until later for any big unveilings.

Phbbt, right. What with the knowledge that they can make twice the money for half the effort, I don't think they care about the hardcore community anymore.

 

[Shadow Tyrant]

I expected:

Zelda
Mario
Metroid
Animal Crossing
A new DS

Well, they got one thing right, at least. :|

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

A new DS? Why? There's nothing wrong with the one we got.

Honestly though, I feel sorry for hardcore Nintendo fans, this E3 was a serious insult to you guys its like...

"I know you guys kept the Gamecube afloat through your loyalty, here's a nice whopping FUCK YOU to anyone who liked the old nintendo, this is the new Nintendo bitches! We make money now!"

 

[wilsonscrazybed]

Kid Icarus, with Wii bow attachments. Not that I would be excited about it, just that I expected it.

 

[tobyornottoby]

Its amazing how much the've shot them selfs in the foot
The Hardcore Market where the only people buying games.
the rest are still playing wii sports and wii fit

I think sales statistics will point otherwise...

 

[Shadow Tyrant]

A new DS? Why? There's nothing wrong with the one we got.

I know, but there were rumors of a new DS without a GBA slot. I wouldn't buy it, but I kinda wanted to see it.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

there were rumors of a new DS without a GBA slot.

i dont have a DS, but the only reason i would get one is so i can see what i'm doing on my gba games. but i have the GB player for that. the only good games on the DS are castlevania, and even they're not that good. most of the games just force you to use some touch related control system unneccesarily.

 

[TheKbob]

Pikmen.

Sort of got it.

Kid Icarus

Didn't Get it. D:

 

[CombineSoldier]

I was at least expecting something cool (not a little doohicky that makes the wiimote do what it should have done in the 1st place)

 

[birdbrain18]

i was exepeting star fox, kirby, f zero and bull shit.

i only got 1 of them
