It’s safe to say that anyone who has been a hardcore Nintendo fan over the years felt a bit let down by the company’s E3 conference yesterday. Speaking in an interview with G4, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime said he couldn’t understand why, though:

How could you feel left out? The Animal Crossing that we’ve been hearing about that people wanted. Fully connected to the Internet, go to other people’s towns. Plus as I said, Grand Theft Auto on the DS. How do you feel left out with those types of announcements?

Even though it’ll be a great game, you know that Animal Crossing doesn’t fall under the hardcore genre we’re talking about, Reggie. Sure, Grand Theft Auto for DS got us a little excited, but that was it! Most of us would have liked to see at least one more core title for Wii. That’s where the disappointment lies.
