Nintendo's Conference just killed me...
ninten | 12:09 PM on 07.15.2008 10 comments


Thanks for WiiSpeak and Animal Crossing Nintendo I'm genuinely happy about those. But where are your core titles? Shaun White and WiiMusic aren't what your hardcore fans were waiting for you know. My hopes and dreams shattered before me as some people played the SMB theme off tempo god that's disappointing...

So what are we getting later this year? A bunch of DS games including yet another Guitar Hero and a new (possibly top down) GTA game. MotionPlus is pretty neat and I'm liking the possibilities but we've already seen how 1:1 can be frustrating and difficult to control. Those guys couldn't quite get the sword stuff down because they don't know how to use swords. Also please stop using the nunchuk to steer okay? It's just not that accurate.

Hopefully Nintendo pulls a SSBB announcement that comes a day late from nowhere, but I'm not going to hold my breath. So yeah we got two new accessories and Animal Crossing which isn't exactly what I was hoping for, but I'll take it happily. I just really wanted to see at least one other Nintendo big game that isn't part of the Wii series of games aka WiiFit, WiiPlay, ect.

Should this post be a BLOG or a FORUM?
You'll get better feedback if you know the difference.

BLOGS are public journals -- they are meant to be editorial in nature. A good blog post should have a concise title, contain news or original thoughts on a topic, photos, links, videos and tagged with a topic. A great blog tells a story and states an opinion that leaves room for discussion. Our favorite c-blogs get promoted to the home page.

I'll update it as it goes in case anything else is announced, but I'm in class right now so I'm just stating the overall heartbreak I'm going through right now. Nintendo has once again cheated with the hot casual girl leaving all alone at home waiting.

1:1 kendo fighting, dude. There'll no doubt be tons of "hardcore" gamers who are disappointed, but Animal Crossing, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Music, and the two new peripherals/modules have me really excited.

Oh shut up...like you never posted anything dumb. This is someone's "public jounral" about what they thought of the conference. Not everyone posts a blog to be published on the front page.

The Wii sucks, everyone knows it now. Everyone who loves games at least.

My heart is broken too. Nintendo are lost in the mists of mo money and Wii fame.

No word on Disaster, Pilotwings or even a hard drive either. I think its a shame Nintendo haven't learned from E3 07, which was also a bit of a cock block, where they gave us very little.

I hate to say it but I'm losing hope in Nintendo, now. Even though Wii is in the lead, unless they produce some new IP us hardcore gamers can play, I'll be sticking to my 360.

This is what worries me about those currently running Nintendo, as at times it seems they don't have a clue.

I give less than two squirts of piss about the hardcore crowd. That said, I'd like to see Nintendo give that silly lot their due. After all, this is the crowd that kept these guys alive long enough to put their money-printers on the market.

Give us Kid Icarus. Give us Punch Out. Give us something that could be considered a nod to the fans, considering they've been asking for this shit for years. Why the fuck would ANY company sit on shit that people really want, while giving us something like that Wii Music game? Seriously.

God, I'm so let down that I'm rambling. And taking it on tour as well. I've hit several blogs with my overly dramatic whining, and I'll probably hit several more before all is said and done. :D

Not only did they fail to have anything good this year they put that stupid woman on stage to seem more family friendly.

 about me


Name: Cary Tamada (Facebook)
Age: 19
Location: California
Status: In College
Systems: Wii, DS, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, and PC.
Games Playing: DOTA!, Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, and Tales of Symphonia (little late I know)
About Me: I like Nintendo games a lot obviously especially the Mother/Earthbound series once again obvious. My favorite system is the SNES followed closely by the N64 although it might be nostalgia more than the actual games in that battle. My favorite game all time is actually Majora's Mask because of how fresh it was to play especially since I didn't play Ocarina until after Majora's which makes me special :)

Also, GO NINTENDO!
