Conan = The only game reviewer I can trust.

Here he is with a camera crew at the Nintendo booth. Pumped for the E3 remote segment!!

Holy crap is the Flaming C a real thing in the game? That's amazing.

...oh I just looked it up, apparently he's just a costume for Superman. Bummer. Still neat.
 
I got really uncomfortable when Mario dude showed up and started talking. Lol at Nintendo "oh! uh.. AND HERE'S the guy who does the Mario voice! since, you know, all of our games is due 2014".

So, the Mario Kart 8 game was shown only in my video ...
 
We need a gif of him thinking about the Bayonetta cosplayer. I laughed hard at him thinking about that PS4 game when the Xbone rep was talking.
 

That whole part with Mario Kart is really great at explaining why non-enthusiast gamers love it. Sure, the guy demoing it is probably letting him win, but skill has never been a determining factor in recent Mario Kart games.

He was pretty mean to Charles Martinet, wasn't good-humored at all :(

Nah, you're reading it wrong. Everyone there knows who Conan O'Brien is, what his shtick is, and they are all just playing along. Martinet is probably actually laughing with him. I can't imagine the guy who does the voice of Mario can't laugh at himself.
 
Martinet's a good guy. I've had the privilege of speaking with him many times.. he'd take this all in stride and good humour. He's genuinely nice and kind-hearted, and can carry a normal conversation without falling into the voices.. It was very much all for show in that vid, so don't worry.
 
The link in the OP is awesome.

And I can't help but respect Bill Trinnen for being bi-lingual as well as a corporate suit. I can only imagine he is to Japan as Iwata is to us. Functionally lingual without any interesting news to share.
 
Custerds revenge should really be the only option. Watching a mini review for that should be comedy gold.
 

Combat, Missile Command, Pitfall, and Space Invaders are all good games. Never played River Raid, but Golf and E.T. are absolutely dreadful. My brother and I couldn't figure out Golf at all...it's barely representative of its sport! I rarely ever outright call a game bad, but Golf is probably just the worst thing I own...but it's fun to make fun of at least, so it was worth the buck or so it cost.
 
ET didn't look that bad in that review... boring, but not terrible. It's even "pretty", compared to the other games he showed.
