Reggie promised something for "core" gamers, not "hardcore" gamers. Given that Nintendo's biggest franchise is Pokemon, I don't think it's a stretch to say that a game like Animal Crossing is going to appeal to that demographic.
Yeah... I consider myself a big Nintendo fan and can honestly say I'm not excited for anything I witnessed during their press conference.
Nintendo had a boring conference. fuck you Reggie, I hated it!!! Now what?
Also, Jim, you're the greatest :-)

Reggie must think that Dead Space is TOO HARDCORE.
I mean is GTA on the DS? Great, if you like top down GTA or PS1 era looking shooter.

I was so disspointed. I read through the whole Live Blog a couple of times just to make sure I didnt miss the new Zelda or something.
give me 'f-zero: awesome' and 'star fox: good again' not dumbed down a kiddy-fied and i will be happy
I'm still hoping for a big announcement down the line. However, the Dead Rising announcement certainly takes the sting off a bit.
I can't help but feel some mysterious 360 fanboy force taking over my body. The darwin will come packaged with a lightsaber game with online play and shit on them!!!!!
I think I'm just about ready to give up on Nintendo. No hard feelings, you just don't interest me anymore old buddy...don't make this harder than it already is!! :'(

How the mighty have fallen-fallen for profit margins instead of the reason Nintendo was created to begin with "To make great games" It is really sad to see the genius of Miyamoto playing that stupid sax. How uterlly tragic-from Mario maker to sax sellout.
Nintendos show was a joke. It was like they were pandering to board executives with the litany of profit margins and shovelware upswings. I felt bad for Shawn the snowboarder to have to watch that crazed business woman try to snowboard. They all looked like complete idiots. As much as I love Nintendos foundational past and few good current games the rest is becoming more and more lamentable-almost to the fact Nintendo will eventually not be considered a video game company any longer-they will be relegated to toys r us trade shows,etc while MS and SOny duke it out. What a pity-with so many great IPs to build on they bring out this shlock!

Wait ... when Nintendo sticks Mario and Zelda in every little nook and cranny imaginable, shoehorning them into otherwise decent IPs, people complain. When Nintendo announces a slew of new (?) IPs at E3, people complain.
Did I miss something here?

weakest E3-press-conference EVER...
I'm mad at myself for watching the full thing live... I just kept hoping for that one great news-item... but it never came :(

I... used to totally disagree with that and thought N's conference gave nothing to it's core audience, but now... well... I just can't allow myself to think Reggie is wrong, so... fuck yeah nintendo!
Does Miyamoto really wear Mario t-shirts (or only while "playing" the saxophone)? That's pretty fuckin' lame. I know he invented the dude and all, but show some respect for other game designers, if at all, and don't promote yourself on your own body like a fucking prick.
Also, Animal Crossing is not the hardest of cores. Sorry, Reggie. I do like the fact he sounds like he's a kid who got in trouble for not doing their chores or something.
"But mooooooom. Look, I DID clean my room!"
"No, honey, moving your shoes to the corner isn't cleaning your room."
What a whiny bitch. I have zero respect for Nintendo anymore.
Nintendo @ E3 = Epic fail.

good thing everyone was waiting a few months to figure out what the fuck nintendo was doing for the rest of the year. Now we all can realize that Ninty isn't looking at gamers as viable consumers.
thank god I have an Xbox as well otherwise I'd be very disapointed with my gaming experience.

Nintendo truley sucks dick. If it wasn't for the extremely talented Mario and Zelda designers then Nintendo would be complete shit. And guys, Myamato doesn't do much of the design work anymore. He is basically Nintendo's puppet to get idiot fanboy's excited over a stupid fucking music (game?) thing. He is washed up. The Mario and Zelda developers would be better of on the 360/PS3. It would allow them to expand their creativity.
Reggie is an idiot that has to much money. He is not a gamer, he is a puppet just like Myamato.

I hate that drummer douche bag ^
And I've now come to accept the fact that Nintendo doesn't make games for me anymore, and I'm okay with that. Thanks for the SNES.

Mwahahaha!! Now you all know my pain in supporting the Toronto Maple Leafs!! Loving a golddigger that only wants your money :'(.
Ugh, I really, really don't get Nintendo.
No new versions of the games everyone wanted (Zelda, Starfox, et al), more pointless wagglefests (fuck you Wii Music) and more stupid add-ons.
I'm still sore about how dumbed-down Mario Kart and Smash Bros are.
I still like Nintendo, but they are making it hard for me to do so. Casuals are a shitty revenue source. Support the hardcore!

I was utterly confused when she-reggie walked on stage showing us family photos and talking about the time she broke her wrist. I mean, this is E3, this event is being televised and streamed live to numerous gaming websites. I highly doubt Nintendo's demographic was tuned in, anxiously watching their press conference like many of us.
It doesn't make sense. They obviously knew their hardcore followers were watching their event, waiting for them to announce the next big game. Wii Music, Wii Sports Resort, and Animal Crossing. Really, that's what you have been working on for the past year?
Fuck you, Reggie. A few months ago you went on Gametrailers TV and told us that there were going to be games for the hardcore Nintendo fans at E3. Wii Musuic, Wii Sports Resort, and Animal Cross. It's obvious that Nintendo has moved on to a new demographic completely, ignoring the fans that made them what they are today. Their presentation at E3 simply reinforced that opinion. So long, Nintendo, it was great while it lasted.
Wii Music, Wii Sports, Animal Crossing. How could we be disappointed? Right, Reggie?

What Nintendo forgot is that:
The hardcore gamers will stick with you through thick and thin untill you fuck them over.
The casuals are very forgetful and would move on to the next best hype without even thinking twice.
Bad move Nintendo.

"So are we allowed to say that the Wii has officially become a fad now? :)"
Not yet, but if this is really all they have going right now... we're swinging closer and closer to fad territory. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm still happy with the Wii. But this complete lack of respect for core gamers.. it's really several steps too far.
If this continues, I'm not getting another Nintendo console.

the Wii is the biggest disappointment for me this generation and Nintendo's press conference does a great job of summarizing why. i understand that their marketing strategy has changed significantly, but for Reggie to suggest that i should be satisfied a new Animal Crossing or a shitty version of GTA for the DS is fucking insulting. "oh, the Zelda and Mario teams are working on something" well fucking show it to us! THAT'S what anyone who watches/attends E3 wants to see, not Shaun fucking White.
Another thing that pisses me off...
Both Sony and MS have upgraded their dashboards and added additional functionality.
Meanwhile, Nintendo owners still have no viable storage solution for VC games. Hell, no DVD support either. The casuals would have loved that.
Seriously, why did Nintendo even bother with E3? Are they holding all of the cool stuff for the Tokyo Game Show? Or are they really that lame?

Hey guys, we arent allowed to mock Nintendo because they make money-As if that is what really matters. Thats what Nintendo makes now-money not games. we are in this for the quality of games. Go pan your gizmos off to Brookstone or Sharper Image as fun faddy gadgets and get back to making real video games!
