Everyone here is just having fun. If you're going to come in here and be butthurt and disappointed at the news, be that "I told you so" guy, or act like you're genuinely concerned about other people's feelings and tell people to lower their expectations, then you just don't get it and need to stop going to videogame message boards.

Nintendo loves over-saturated boxarts.

Are you hurt, bro? It's all good fun for most of us, but I guess some bring unresolved problems to these boards.

Your post is a waste of time far greater than the ridiculousness that occurred last night.

Yep. These Nintendo Direct are pure gold to build hype. And hype is fuel & fun for a videogame forum, for fanboyz it's hope and haters it''s fear. Hype momentum.

Man, Bill Trinen might be a good translator, but he's not very good at interviews. He was no good at being the interviewer today and he's no good at being interviewed either, from what I've seen in the past. He looks like he is so on edge and about ready to snap and get mad at someone. If they're gong to do something like that in the future, they should get JC Rodrigo to do it. He's much better at this sort of thing.

Bill's been at the company for a long time, he's probably seen the ninjas at work.

What a cool dude, you sure have everyone figured out.

An online Nintendo tennis game is awesome news.

The 3DS is great but I haven't found that sports game to fill that genre's void.

He's like that on Twitter too, it's amusing. He's a cool guy though.

Waluigi's absence is more delightful.

You will pay for your crimes.

If you had actually read the thread, you would have realized that as good as no one actually expected anything from this event. People were just kidding around.

I haven't checked out the interviews yet but I too have gotten the impression before that Bill is maybe kind of uptight and a bit of a stuffed shirt. I think it was before the Wii unveiling and Matt was live blogging of course, in one of the posts he made he said 'Bill Trinen is sitting a few rows ahead of us and I say "Come on, aren't you excited?" He just looks back and rolls his eyes at us.' Couldn't find the link but that's almost verbatim.

As much as I like the color green, that Mario Tennis Open cover has too much green.

Glad I didn't hype the Direct videos too much either. Still the best thing out of the thread is the official GAF Nintendo Hype Train pic lol.

The weird thing is that Bill Trinen wasn't always like this in public. I remember 2005 (I think) and he demoed Electroplankton at GDC, he was upbeat and silly and sounded really excited about what he was showing off. And he'd have that same goofy energy when he would translate for Miyamoto in English interviews. The funny thing is back then, during the those interviews, whenever Trinen did the awkward charm thing and tried to joke around, Miyamoto was the one that would look annoyed. I think Bill's a nice guy, or was, he probably just got chewed out for being essentially the representative of one of the most famous men in gaming and treating it "unprofessionally". If that happened to me I'd probably turn into an angry robot too.
