That's from a time when Nintendo was actually amazing. Who gives a shit if they had some goofy slides? The games were kicking ass back then. That's like complaining that Retro Studios has a horrendous website that looks like its stuck in 1998.

Worse Graphics
Easier
Softer

 

[JordanLMiller]

I haven't used word art in years. Is it still the same or has it improved any?

 

[Erasus]

Someone... someone was paid to make that.

Dude you are reading too much into it. It's just funny. Thread's about the slide, that's all.

 

[Kallor]

Resident Evil 4 looked good here.

 

[DragonSworne]

We have come a long way

 

[Anticitizen One]

The second Iwata gets on stage I am reminded of how far Nintendo has fallen with his dumb philosophy of "Gamers don't want better graphics and games. They want gimmicks!"

 

[iceatcs]

WTF that's only 10 years ago. Timing felt slow, I blame technology change too fast.

 

[Salsa]

We have come a long way

hey man, coherent design across the platform and it's showings, at least everyone has a better sense of that shit now. Nintendo conferences are pretty slick.

 

[wsippel]

Saint's Row?

 

[strangedopamine]

Could've been worse. What if the slide was a 5 minute job on MS Paint, complete with a stick figure picture of the kid playing GameCube in that jaunty position?

 

[Hazelhurst]

Rogue Squadron III looks off the chain. Was that really a Gamecube exclusive?

 

[Wario64]

 

[rpmurphy]

Needs more edgy

 

[moulels]

I hope this is the Iwata we see this year.

 

[Jethro]

More importantly what was the other Factor 5 Gamecube game Iwata mentioned?!

 

[apesh1t]

to be fair, the Gamecube did have more edges than the N64

 

[DaBoss]

WordArt was the shit back then.

Don't Wii U pants.

 

[Lunar15]

The industry has gone downhill. It just doesn't have what these previous generations had:

WordArt.

 

[sunnz]

That word art, good memories of making presentations.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Why not throw in some Clip Art and default sound effects while we're at it. It'll be just like middle school all over again.

 

[Grayman]

nintendo circa 2003 = 1993 sega?

Word Art and Slide shows used to be the thing back than, I remember E3 2006 when Sony had slides for the PS3 conference.

Oh how times have changed.

They upgraded to montages! What will come next, I wonder?

Don Mattrick stole Iwata's self applause!? So not only does Sony copy Nintendo Microsoft does it as well!?

 

[kittens]

iwata: "customers do not want online games"

http://www.gamespot.com/news/iwata-customers-do-not-want-online-games-6102100

iwata: *laughs*

That was right around the time I was buying an Xbox so I could play Halo 2 online.

Edit : Hahaha, that Iwata clapping gif is gold.

 

[Like the hat?]

What was that starfox?

 

[kittens]

What was that starfox?

Star Fox Assault, right? The game was garbage.

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

"Tomorrow's systems do not have much room to improve"

AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Can't believe people actually defend this man. He's clearly whacko.

This is like foreshadowing.

 

[Pachterballs]

perfect.

 

[Reversed]

Even Sony at the PlayStation one revealing (1995) had a better presentation than this.

 

[BGBW]

"Next slide please"

Come on son. What are you doing?

 

[BocoDragon]

What will we laugh at from the conferences of today in 10 years? The dubstep.

 

[Meelow]

Virtual Reality

 

[FyreWulff]

E3 keynotes pretty much blew chunks until 05. In terms of presentation. Not content.

They still all blow chunks in that department.

Before they were made for investors and buyers (you know, Trade Expo, right in the name), now keynotes are made for people watching over the internet at home.

 

[Meatvillain]

Incredible.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

We need a new Rogue Squadron.
Holy shit it looked good considering it came out in 2003/4!

Has anyone dolphin emulated Rogue Squadron?

 

[Trancetronic]

Damn I totally remember WordArt. Combined that with ClipArt and you had the flashiest presentation in the entire class back in high school. Complete with sound effects, too!

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I was watching Nintendo's 2001 E3 the other day and they actually had a Q&A session at the end of the conference. Imagine someone trying to do that now.

 

[Madridy]

Q1: So is that 8GB of GDDR5 or DDR5?


Q2: Is that mode going to be free or a DLC?

:b

God, sizzle reels have been bad FOREVER. They are SO BAD

I liked the one at the beginning of the PS Meeting that was ALL PLAYSTATION GAMES EVER

although I guess that might count as a montage? I dunno. Yeah sizzle reels are lame.
