GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Jun 2, 2009

I knew from the very beginning that I would be disappointed. With Cammie Dunway going on and on and on at the beginning about nothing but boring crap, no new Zelda game for the Wii (which is what most Nintendo fans have been anticipating), and releases such as: Women's Murder Club, Wii Vitality Sensor, and The Conduit (which I don't know if it's good or not, but it doesn't seem to be the most popular thing...) it was overall a disappointment.
But, there were a few titles that caught my attention. Those titles being:

Super Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Wii Sports Resort (sort of... I'm more anticipating it than I was before)
and Metroid: Other M

Before I rant, let's talk about the order of events of this conference. We started off with Cammie Dunway and her boring speech. Blah Blah Blah Puppies are Cute Blah Blah Blah (I'm sure we've all seen that little thing...) She then announced the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They then gave us an example, four player, gather the coins, just like Mario Bros. Wait... Four player? Is that the big ADVANCEMENT that Mr. Iwata has been planning to bring Mario to the number 4? Remember when she talked about the number 4? She made it sound all big right? WRONG! The only new thing is that it's on the Wii and multi-player. Don't get me wrong, it looks cool, but she builds up your expectation and then CRASH! It just comes falling down...
Anyways, and please correct me if I'm wrong because this is all off of my memory, next up was the Regginator and some other guy to explain: Wii Sports Resort with Wii Motion Plus. We were shown three different activities that you can play in the game: Sky Diving, Archery, and Basketball. It was really stressed how accurate the Wii Motion Plus thing is with your actions... It was all kind of boring, but it was a step up from last year. Nintendo sort of made my anticipation for this game go up the slightest bit. But still, only a little.
I can't remember what happened next, but I can remember something kind of big happening and then Cammie Dunway comes along to ruin it all! With her announcements, she included: Women's Murder Club, COP something something, and a new WarioWare game. I think that she may have also been the one to say: "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks on shelves next week! (or something like that) Now, here is Mr. Iwata here to tell us about his new creation!" ..... Wow... that was pretty epic Cammie! We're ALL excited for Women's Murder Club (sarcasm).
Next, was Mr. Iwata. I don't know about you guys, but this was COMPLETELY pointless! Wii Vitality Sensor... Something that you put on your finger and it counts your pulse... 'Hey everyone! There's an all new pulse checker that you can pay 100$ (I don't know if it will cost that much) to use! WAHOO!!!' What ever happened to putting your finger on your wrist and just COUNTING your pulse... Nintendo is just bringing us new ways to become more and more slumped into our couch and cut off from the real world. Then, Mr. Iwata just walks off! Nothing on how you would use it in gameplay or ANYTHING! Just a big waste of time in my perspective...
Anyways, it went on that "Regginator" announced three, third party games including The Conduit and a new Resident Evil. Cammie Dunway then walked onto the stage to announce Super Mario Galaxy 2. After watching the commercial, it looked just like the original! Except for that we get Yoshi and drill things... That was pretty cool, it made me excited.
Then, I think, Regginator walked back onto the stage and claimed: "I've read the blogs. I know what you want!" Well, he obviously doesn't, because how long have us Nintendo "fans" been asking for a Wii exclusive Zelda game? I don't know... maybe about... OVER 2 YEARS!!!! The last game(between Mario and Zelda)to be released on Wii was Super Mario Galaxy. Isn't it Zelda's turn? I guess not... Instead, Reggie announces Metroid: Other M... I don't think that anyone saw that coming, but it was exciting! At least we'll have Metroid to hold us off until next year!

Now, Nintendo fans, what did you think of the conference today? I wasn't as disappointed as I lead myself up to be, but it still wasn't all that great... I enjoyed watching it, but it wasn't all that epic.
For next year? What we need to do is expresshow much we want a Wii exclusive Zelda game released or announced next year! Let's all post in our blogs and send each other messages on how we are going to show Reggie just how much he: "Read's the blogs!" Let's band together, Gamespot! Let's get what we want!
Anyways, there's my rant! I hope that you enjoy and have a good day!
ermy9007 out...
P.S. E3 '09 emblems are up now! I have the Microsoft one right now, soon to get Nintendo and I'm watching Sony right now, so...
P.P.S. There were some other things like Wii Fit 2 announced, but this was all off of memory, so don't be angry if I missed something!

Okay, if you get the impression that I hated this conference, I didn't... I really enjoyed it! I just thought that it could have been better, a.k.a., it wasn't very groundbreaking! I enjoyed it, though!

It was pretty good, but they needed to come up with a few more games I think.
