They said something about new Zelda and Mario.

Wasn't the wii being bought because the grannies and llittle babies liked casual gaming,maybe casual gamers are their main supporters so they started to focus on keeping them happy?>.<

Oh,but I agree with you guys that they should apologize.I was dissapointed too.

They should apologize cuz their E3 by far was not a let-down but a disaster. I kinda feel bad for Iwata and Miyamoto though cuz they have to deal with all of this kind of crap. (meaning fanboys and press).

So do all gaming companies, taco.

The Wii just happens to have little to offer at the moment.

So very true, and one of the few things that gives me a very dim shimmer of hope for the Wii.

They have little to offer to core gamers like many of us here including myself but to casual gamers heck they are in heaven right now Wii Music, Wii Sports 2, whats next Wii....Cleaning?

I can see it now:

Iwata: "Welcome to E3, and boy do we have a treat for you middle-aged housemaids.... Wii CLEANING!! It will be available for $59.99USD and will come packaged with a Wiimote Vacuum attachment! Look for it on store shelves 8/8/09!"

Miyamoto: "Dear god, Nintendo is screwed..."

Lol nice little scenario. But i doubt Iwata would make that announcement probably some like Regie or that horrendously annoying "mom" at this year's E3.

So it'd be like this:
Cammy ("mom"): Now we will bring smiles to every housemaid. Why actually clean the house when you can get Wii cleaning. Now how can that not put a smile on someone's face?

Miyamoto: FALCON PAWNCH! (lol jk but hey it could happen).

I don't understand why it was so disappointing. Animal Crossing: City Folk, Motion Plus Censor, Wii Music, and Wii Sports Resort were announced. And they said that a new Zelda an Mario game were in the making. I also heard that they said they were unveiling more games soon. So why was their conference so disappointing?

[cornyjohn]

Because we didn't see Kid Icarus, StarFox, or any type of visual confirmation of Zelda or Mario.

I guess the Kirby fans didn't get their Kirby and F-Zero junkies missed out on theirs, as well.

Nothing really exciting came out... It's all geared towards casual gamers, not the core ones.
