Reggie Baffled At Core Gamer Dissapointment

Posted by x3sphere at July 16, 2008, 3:16 pm


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.

I have to agree with Sardu. At one time I had two Wii's one for the game room and one for the living room for the general audiences to play. I sold the second cause it did nothing more than collect dust. Without any new 1st party or even good third party GAMES to play my Wii is nothing more than a fancy looking paper weight.


I can't believe they didn't announce any new games. Where is Kid Icarus? Where is a new Zelda? Maybe a Luigi's Mansion sequel? Anything is better than nothing. They could even give us a new 1080 snowboarding or actually give us Wii Sports Resort THIS YEAR. But nope...nada. Very disappointing Nintendo and Reggie...dude...your an idiot!

I agree completely with many of the core gamers out there. Nintendo's show was abysmal. All they could talk about were smiles (aka money).
