- MassoukenBomb, on 07/16/2008, -3/+208I literally had my face in my hands throughout most of Nintendo's conference.

Basically sums it up - apothekari, on 07/17/2008, -1/+185BIG Nintendo supporter here.
Although after this years E3 I feel more like an Athletic supporter.
I've been behind them so far on the Wii but damn dude.
No Kid Icarus
No Storage solution
No flash update for the browser
Not one ***** game to look forward to. - darkchild82, on 07/16/2008, -3/+140How much sugar did that woman have in the morning?!
- bixby1, on 07/16/2008, -4/+132M. Knight should not be going out in public after The Happening anyway.
- skiiper, on 07/17/2008, -4/+125So here's this giant enemy crab....
- inactive, on 07/16/2008, -2/+120How could they have left out the most embarrassing part of all, when the whole group tried to play Wii Music together. It sounded like the first day at band class.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -1/+116You spelled crack wrong.
- AzzidReign, on 07/17/2008, -6/+121When Reggie said we have one more game to show you, I was really feeling new Zelda.
Then ***** Apu comes out flapping his arms about, and a single tear came running down my cheek.
For the first time ever, Miyamoto looked like a jackass on stage. I thought the day would never come. - WallnutBoy, on 07/17/2008, -3/+100after MS' conference, I was sure Sony's would be the worst this year... Jesus was I wrong..
- aileenvo, on 07/16/2008, -3/+82Who the hell is that woman anyway?
- theandy1, on 07/17/2008, -6/+77The conference made me want to sell my Wii. Mario Kart got a little boring and this conference made me realize that the wii is going to be a paperweight for the next year.

- Kral, on 07/17/2008, -3/+71Nintendo's decided to abandon its core gamer base for a larger audience. That reminds me of how Las Vegas decided to abandon its core gambler base for a larger audience. In Vegas's case, they made it family friendly like Nintendo did. While it brought in huge numbers of people, they weren't the ones spending huge wads of cash - Vegas had traded its profitable 'whales' for the penny pinching family unit crowd. It was regarded as a huge mistake. Good luck, Nintendo, on making money from your new community that thinks Wii Play is the only game they need.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+62Ohhh, let me add yet another to the list that just happened at Nintendo's 2008 E3 Developer Roundtable: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/16/liveblog-from-ni ...
Regarding Wii Music:
"7:29 Someone has the temerity to ask if this is really more of a musical toy than a game. HOW DARE HE! Miyamoto says the questioner is right, and "that's why it's more interesting than a video game."
Did he just say that this casual Wii Music thing is more interesting than video games? - darkchild82, on 07/16/2008, -1/+63Seriously! I was at least expecting them to announce Nintendogs for the Wii but noooo, we get Wii Sports Resort and a ***** looking Call of Duty. Even Animal Crossing: City Folks, I mean, when Super Mario Galaxy can look astounding, why can't Nintendo come up with first party titles that at least look like that. I just hope they don't get carried away by their success and become lazy in game development.
P.S: Wii Music should be called Wii Midi... because that's what it sounded like. - inactive, on 07/17/2008, -4/+65Sony wasn't bad. Predictable, but everything they showed looked solid. Nintendo showed off games that were bad in both concept and execution.
- jos22, on 07/16/2008, -17/+76Yep it sucked ass. not a single thing mention to please there fanbase.
- TVarmy, on 07/17/2008, -1/+56See, the Sony conference where they announced the PS3 price was awesome because it showed that Sony's gaming department was insane, but in a happy way, and that you could get on that rollercoaster if you had the money to come along.
Nintendo pretty much just said, "We're not making games anymore," and then bored everyone to death with underwhelming announcements. - acemilo, on 07/17/2008, -3/+57It’s easy to just forget this year’s Nintendo conference, pretend it never happened, or ignore it entirely. That won’t change the fact that by and large, it was a miserable trainwreck of failure and easily the company’s worst in history. What went wrong? Oh, about a thousand things, really, but nobody has time to relive it. That’s why we here at the-minusworld.com have truncated the list into something a bit more consumable. Pure, concentrated embarrassment. Enjoy.
#5 - Cammy Dunaway Talks About Her Failed Snowboarding Trip

Months of anticipation! Millions of sales! The spotlight is on you, Nintendo! Oh man, they’re totally going to announce the next Zel…who the f*ck is this?!? Cammy Dunaway’s Snowy Getaway was not exactly the megaton us gamers expected. She looked about one facelift away from approaching Joan Rivers status and the meds were definitely in full effect. Whoever thought her snowboard trip injury photos would make a great segue way to the announcement of Shaun White Snowboarding should be buried under an avalanche.
#4 - Reggie Promises Software For Core Gamers And Then Gives Us The Middle Finger
nintendo e3 08, nintendo press conference, video game comedy, nintendo, e3, e3 08, minus world
I swear! There’s more than just casual crap here! Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Sports Resort were not exactly what we had in mind when we were promised hardcore games a few weeks back. Your grandmother will be happy to hear about how things went down today (if she can still hear anything) but color us dissappointed. What happened to Nintendo’s multi billion dollar war chest? Was all the money spent on toddler market research and adult diapers?
#3 - An Audience Full Of Heartbroken, Unimpressed Crickets
nintendo e3 08, nintendo press conference, video game comedy, nintendo, e3, e3 08, minus world
Can you hear the excitement and applause? No? That’s because there wasn’t any, aside from the brustling of tumbleweeds and the gnashing of crickets chewing off their own limbs. Unless somebody announced Wii Pindrop.
#2 - Nobody Knew How To Actually Control Anything
nintendo e3 08, nintendo press conference, video game comedy, nintendo, e3, e3 08, minus world
When Monday’s announcement of Wii Motion Plus hit the web, Nintendo fan speculation was through the roof. 1:1 motion controls? Woo ha. That’s what we thought the Wii controller was supposed to offer since day one. Better late than never, right? 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. Next time hire somebody who actually plays video games to, you know, actually play your video game.
#1 - M Night Shyamalan Plays Wii Music Terribly
nintendo e3 08, nintendo press conference, video game comedy, nintendo, e3, e3 08, minus world
Fresh off his recent cinematic failure and clearly already desperate for work, an overly excited, underly rhythmic M Night Shyamalan waggled the night away as Wii Music’s honorary drummer. Beneath grating layers of 16 bit midi snares was the somber truth that this was Nintendo’s most embarrassing E3 ever. Sony and Microsoft could’ve just bricked into each others coffees and they still would’ve won by default. Here’s to hoping the rampant fan backlash gets heard over at the corporate offices. Wii doubt it. - AzzidReign, on 07/17/2008, -4/+49A dumbass.
- Argantes, on 07/17/2008, -3/+47Got this from someone on 4chan, and I think it fit REALLY well...
"Reggie spent like 10 minutes rubbing their success in everyone's face, and then they had a celebratory air-sax solo from Miyamoto." - PATSCRU, on 07/17/2008, -1/+44Reggie: "and now to demonstrate the magic of the wiimotion plus controller, heres CAMMY! The one and only over-medicated workaholic soccermom who has no idea what she's doing at E3. This is going to be great."
- KnockoutNerd, on 07/16/2008, -2/+45You have to love lists that start on #5 and end on #5.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -0/+42Yeah the trees might kill him.
- Davoidbot, on 07/17/2008, -2/+42RIIIIIDGE RAAAAACER!, ridge racer, Ridge Racer.....
- ovset, on 07/17/2008, -1/+41This year's E3 was more like a meeting than a video game conference. LOOK EVERYBODY STATS AND FIGURES.
- Thekirby45, on 07/17/2008, -0/+38 we all knew it was gonna suck when a soccer mom came out before reggie
- ZenMojo, on 07/17/2008, -0/+37That Wii music ***** was horrible. I had the television on G4 through the entire E3 conference that day, then Miyamoto comes walking out and I had to change the channel at how painful it was to watch.
And I'm insulted that it took them so long to get the Wii Motion Plus going. It'll probably cost an extra 30 bucks to do what the Wiimote was supposed to do from the beginning. - crownedgriffin, on 07/17/2008, -8/+44Poor Wii. I really REALLY wanted one when they first came out, and now I'm glad I couldn't find one. What a waste of money that would have been.
- jellydoughnut21, on 07/17/2008, -0/+35I figured Nintendo would do something like this sooner or later. They are so concentrated on this "wider fanbase" that they forgot their ORIGINAL fanbase. Plus, aside from the first party games, i just don't see anything happening on the wii for a while. Most companies are slapping some ***** together and tacking motion control on the end and selling it for $40-50.
- Avaseal, on 07/17/2008, -1/+35mentioned
- AzzidReign, on 07/17/2008, -22/+56Hey, let's be honest: Sony's still sucked ass.
- bowser1512, on 07/17/2008, -0/+31What a twist!
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -14/+44I wanted nothing more than for that ***** to shut the ***** up
- hockeysmurf, on 07/16/2008, -7/+37Damn, what the hell Nintendo how did you drop the ball on this one. I guess on one cares about E3 anymore.... especially since they removed the babes.
- ImmediateAction, on 07/17/2008, -2/+31That still of M. Night is amazing. That is exactly how he directed the Happening.
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -4/+31Wii Music Fan Reaction
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uj0zV0UJXM - AzzidReign, on 07/17/2008, -4/+30But they didn't show you Mario and Zelda. They just said that those teams are working on games in their standard, vague, Nintendo way.
If you liked that press conference, then congratulations: you are a fanboy *****. - completerobot, on 07/17/2008, -0/+25Not
- TangentThought, on 07/17/2008, -1/+26Yes it was.
- TheAbsintheHare, on 07/17/2008, -0/+25A flash update for opera has nothing to do with Nintendo; Adobe refuses to license a flash version higher than 7 for any browser not on Mac, Linux or Windows. That's why none of the browsers on any gaming platform have a version higher than 7.
- BestJaxx, on 07/17/2008, -0/+24Nintendo condescended to all core gamers, basically saying that 360 and PS3 were things of the past, and that we were living there with them.
- ladon86, on 07/17/2008, -0/+23Somebody should hit Nintendo's weak point. For MASSIVE DAMAGE!!!!
- BestJaxx, on 07/17/2008, -2/+24I thought Sony's was pretty borderline compared to Microsoft until they unveiled the God of War 3 teaser and MAG at the end. That was pretty ***** awesome.
- t.toe, on 07/17/2008, -4/+26WII NEED MORE COWBELL!
http://twitpic.com/46nq - chickengearge, on 07/17/2008, -4/+26get a grip, *****
- inactive, on 07/17/2008, -6/+27Nintendo sold out all their loyal followers for a gimmick made to swindle non gamers into buying. People are beginning to realize this now. Let the backlash begin.
- nukemunky, on 07/17/2008, -0/+21They needed more cow bell! Shigeru Miyamoto you disappoint me!
- 3sicasity, on 07/17/2008, -0/+20well, you have this http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/07/15/e308-g ...
