Nintendos E3 Conference courtesy of Gamespot
Firstly what is with the woman at the start??? She reminds me of a high school teacher which has all the inspiration but theres just something missing which makes you believe she trying to hard. Could she be less enthusiastic? Now onto the new Super Mario game, all I can say is WTF??? Its pretty much the same DS game but shat out onto the Wii with a multiplayer function. This woman is starting to annoy me, she seems like some congresswoman, she isnt representing Nintendo with the fun and charisma which comes along with it. Instead just drivvling on useless pieces of information which the consumer probably doesnt give a crap about.
Nintendo seem to be hell bent on creating new innovations all the time with their wavy remote and the stupid wii fit. So now to add to that they have released Wii Fit Plus… another push to try and get more money out a gimmick which to be honest is starting to wear very thin. I dont own a Wii, the times I have played one I found fun for a few minutes. All over the internet there are countless users who think that their Wii is good at collecting dust once Metroid/Mario and Zelda has been completed. Before when the Wii was first release they seemed to have a young fun image where they knew there demographic but now it seems they are just a bit cunfused. ‘Games’ like the Wii Fit surely arent aimed at children and yet almost every game on there is aimed at kids, and we are talking kids not teenagers…kids (apart from resident evil…obviously).
Just to point on now that Microsoft have release their new innovation Project Natal, the interactivity with Natal is far superior to that of the Wii (ironically holding a remote is the difference.) It strikes me as odd that Nintendo have had this area sorted for the past few years and yet they are still stuck on using the Wii remote.
FFS!!! are you shitting me… archery? Are we stuck in the medival times? Who plays archery? and whats with the sky diving thing? Are users really going to want to sky dive? Fairly sure the real thing might be a tad better… The guy presenting is soo false aswell. He needs a good slap and a reality check, why does he feel the need to explain how to shoot a basketball hoop? Wii Sports Resort looks arse. And now Virtua Tennis 2009, you know what that means?!?! another game in the bargain bin within a month of its release.
It strikes me as though throughout the presentation the presenters are destined to ell everyone about their financial reports every 5 minutes. Final Fantasy looks cool. But guess what??? another crappy Mario game which has got something to do with Bowsers insides, I wasnt really paying any attention, it just looks arse. Also heres a Mario fact for you while I remember… Did you know that Mario was given a mustache and a cap so it was easier for the animators to reproduce him?
Cop: The recruit? That was piss poor, im sorry but Nintendo really hasnt done it for me. The entire presentation is just about number and figures and the same shit which they have released for the past 20 years turfed out and shat onto an ageing console. For gods sake does the consumer really need to know how much DSi consoles have been sold since its release? And that stupid animation tool which looks like a basic version of Paint. What the hell is that game creating thing??? Some stupid apple being biten is a game? I think not!
A vitality sensor??? i’m starting to lose the plot. What is the point? No doubt it’ll be at extra cost to the consumer and all it’ll do is tell you that how many beats per min your heart is beating after playing Paper Mario haha what a load of tosh! And then to add to the seeminly neverending Mario releases there is another, this time in 3D (the second as Cammie keeps on telling us), not sure if they mentioned the title although it looks like Mario Galaxy.
“How can mankind fight a war which has already been won?” – The Conduit… that doesnt make sense, I know its a game but at least make sense. Sounds like the guy that announces the blockbuster movies. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles looks pretty good although it reminds of Resident Evil Nemesis where the cut scenes were beautiful but the gameplay wasnt so nice. Dead Space Extraction looks pretty good, and for the first time in the video I can hear a clap for a game that is being released…
Metroid other M looks pretty cool, I must say that is a title which seemingly looks to be getting better, maybe if it was released on another platform it’ll sell better.
“… this is inkeeping with the timeless mission on Nintendo, bringing you names which are so familiar but revitalised to make them new again” – Quote near the end which sums it all up, its seems lazy and dull. I wished I hadnt watched the video. Maybe now if you’ve read this post you wont have to now. I think I caught all the main points but feel free to discuss any ideas and thoughts…
