Hilarious start with Shawn and Shane ripping the MS intro and then Garnett jumping in for the suit.

Shane's contention that the trailer is like an allegory for the console wars... I just saw the trailer again and he might be on to something. I doubt the whole game would follow that pattern, but it certainly seemed that way in the trailer.
Campbell is Sony, Snake is Kojima, Liquid is MS? And those soldiers beating each other are gamers? Okay, maybe not, but it's pretty funny to think about. :lol

So Resident Evil 5 is about white people being afraid of Al Sharpton?

well yeah i guess so, but it just means more coming from them. i would have thought that they would have been professional enough to know that e3 press conferences are not for the hardcore press anymore. Its mainly for the mainstream press because this is one of the few times they cover it and put it on the news. Of course nintendo is going to focus on casual stuff. The hardcore gamers will find the info, and it looks like they did and people are still excited.
/end rant
edit: but i do agree about how nintendo does not care about online gaming...i kinda wish they did. I guess thats one point where they are leaving the hardcore behind but thats the only thing.

The entire gaming world is wrong, you and your ilk are right, we get it. If you "can't deal" that means we don't have to hear from you anymore right?

You have to realize, they are talking about the conference only. Half of Gaf when you tell them Nintendo abandonded the hardcore in terms of the conference, will shoot back at you with all these games that weren't even featured in the Nintendo press conference at all. If Nintendo's vision of the future is exactly the same as what they showed in the conference, then they have given up. Yes they have some games coming out that have been in development since the system launched. However, you will notice that ever since the Non-games have been becoming hits, they have stopped developing as many Hardcore centered games, and started focusing more on Non-games.

Yeah, look at the monsterous lineup of non-games Nintendo has on tap for Wii non-gamers for the next 9 months ...
Wii Fit
And .... uh ..... did I mention Wii Fit?
You guys are freaking out over one game which isn't even coming out this year, meanwhile Mario Galaxy + Metroid Prime 3 + Smash Bros. Brawl are all locked in for 2007 ... how many people on this board swore up and down Nintendo would delay 1, if not 2 of these into 2008?
Nintendo doesn't support MS + Sony's vision of gaming which is $400+ consoles with 1000 FPS/military shooters/racing games on it. Which I'm not saying is a bad thing, but that's just not Nintendo's bag, and lets face it, it never was going to be. They had their little fling with GoldenEye ten years ago, but that was really about it for them and that style of gaming (Conker, Eternal Darkness, RE on GC all failed). Other than that, Nintendo pretty much is doing the same thing they've always done.

yeah i said conference too, anyway yeah the mainstream media is there so why not show alot of casual stuff.
edit: dont want this disscussion to get out of hand like the other one. Seems like we are saying the same thing that they were just showing off casual stuff for the mainstream media to show on the news.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
I think we all need to accept that the landscape is changing, and will continue to change. That doesn't mean you won't get your favorite games anymore, it just means as more people enter the market more tastes will appear that may not reflect yours. Take Brain Age for instance or even Wii Sports, along with Nintendogs, all of which are different games that got insane amounts of hate from the hardcore gaming crowd. Yes they were audience expansion games and still are, but even a lot of regular gamers got into them. After the dust settles it's still a fun application anyone is able to enjoy. If all you want is hardcore oriented games that's fine, the market is flooded with them, but that doesn't mean we can't have games like these, it's ridiculous to even suggest that.
I'll agree with them that nintendo's conference was sh*t, but they only showed one new non-game..
They spent too much time talking and preaching about their new focus and glossed over all their coolest titles, but in the end they only had one "expanded audience" game to show, and it was actually pretty cool.
I think they found themselves in a difficult situation. Most 3rd party's, and particularly japanese third party's didn't seem interested in this years E3 to any great extent. Most of them are probably waiting for TGS to blowout their more important wii titles.. Things like FFCC for example... So nintendo had to carry the burden themselves and the only game they wanted to show from next year was mario kart, so they decided to preach and brag this E3, then show off wii fit, which they knew would get them some good mainsteam american news coverage.
There is some very cool stuff on the showfloor. Super mario galaxy looks like the best game ever. It's all good. I have no fear that nintendo is leaving anybody behind. If next years lineup is significantly worse than this years in regards to minigames and that kind of jazz, i'll start to get worried, but I definitly don't feel comfortable drawing lots of conclusions from this conference.
edit// oh yeah.. there is one major negative that they pointed out.. Most of the new 3rd party stuff that is on display at this years E3 is total crap. Especially stuff from western 3rd party's. It sounds like some of EA's stuff is very cool, particularly the spielberg game and mysims, but videos of that stuff has been missing so far. Everybody else that bothered to come to E3 seems to be churning out shovelware cash-ins.

Yeah. It's too bad GAF's favorite son eXxy is not quite ready for 1up Yours. Overuse of the word "like" notwithstanding, Patrick is just better as a news segment presenter than a regular "4th chair" 1up Yours member. Mark, Shawn, Brian, Jeff, or even Milky is a better choice IMO.
N'gai Croal is "confirmed" for the Friday show!

What did he say (I couldn't make it out) and was it actually racist?
As I expected, everybody at 1Up seemed to ignore the fact Nintendo put lots of videos for lots of games out, stuff you would have got at the conference if they were doing exactly what you wanted them to do. Crying that they show Wii Fit over Mario Galaxy makes no sense when you later get a trailer to watch as you please.
