So Nintendo (or at least Iwata) finally acknowledged that this year's E3 was utter crap/fail. He also apologized for not showing any true games for the hardcore crowd:

"If there is any perception that Nintendo is ignoring the core gamers, it's a misunderstanding and we really want to get rid of that misunderstanding by any means," Iwata said. "We are sorry about [the E3] media briefings, specifically for those who were expecting to see Nintendo show something about 'Super Mario' or 'Legend of Zelda.' However, the fact of the matter is the so-called 'big titles' need a long, long development period. ... We really didn't think this year's E3 media briefing was the time to do so."

At least we know that they're aware of how us gamers feel. Whether or not they take any action in the matter is yet to be seen. Promising and doing are two different things, especially when it comes to Nintendo, who has said that the Wii will offer 1:1 motion control when it shipped. Now we have to buy the "Motion Plus" attachment to experience that Anyway, I'm just happy to see that they took accountability for the 2 hours of my life they stole from me.

By the way, I'm trying to get a New York City Union started. I have some takers, but I would like a few more before I kick things off. The union would keep up with fun/interesting/important news and events taking place in the city. You don't have to live here to join, for I think it would be also cool for people interested in visiting the Big Apple. Just comment if you would like to join.
