Anyone keeping up with E3? i'm a big nintendo fan, and a HUGE animal Crossing fan, so when they announced Animal Crossing: City Folk for wii, I actually shouted and threw my arms in the air. yes, I know, I'm officially insane.

Yeah i kept up with E3 on Screwattack.com and thewiire.com i'm really looking forward to Wii Speak and Wii Motion Plus but i was disappointed in that there was no new franchise and no Kid Icarus. I was expecting at least one of these.

A little harsh don't you think? Personally I think it's about time Nintendo lagged behind in E3 ever since 2006 Nintendo has dominated E3 and e for all and every time we expect more but they can't supply all our wishes and desires Sony needs a little time in the sun to recoup and form a better plan of attack and Microsoft seems to just cruise along with not problems other than the Red Rings of Death,

See, Brawl is awesome. Brawl is fantastic and fun and amazing to play. But Nintendo just doesn't do anything creative anymore. So, PlayStation has got God of War and a bunch of other new and shiny and wonderful Titles. Kingdom Hearts, and all sorts of lovely things. Xbox 360 is just brimming with promise and new things to offer, and more and more fun (Although Xbox live is a hive of scum and villiany. Play any game you want on there and you'll hear more "f*g" and "****" comments then a KKK rally.) But Nintendo? What do they do? They have the worst online features (although to be honest, they are free) they have no way to contact and keep friends, they don't come out with any new video games, riding on the coat tails of Mario, Metroid and Zelda, and they can't be bothered with anything resembling mature content for older gamers. Nintendo is the playground after school. Sure it's fun for kids, but kids grow up and the slides and merry go rounds aren't so much fun anymore once you get taller. I understand the notion that little kids love video games, and Nintendo is family friendly, but what I'm SAYING is that Nintendo needs to add to their library for older and older gamers. I watched the Microsoft E3. Woo, really cool stuff. I mean wow, Final Fantasy 13. Wow, Resident Evil 5, wow, Gears of war! Ninendo...was....Ooo look...more Wii crap. Pokemon...rayman...;_; boring crap. Nintendo sucks. It's not my thing anymore. I used to rave over Nintendo, heck I even supported the name from Revolution to Wii...but this now those guys are just lame.

I myself have been keeping up with E3, watching it on G4. In fact, I'm watching it right now. ;D
There's some very excellent games coming out, I really can't wait for Resident Evil 5 and Gears of War 2. Those games look awesome. ^^

I'm a Nintendo fan, as is obvious because of my screen name. but I'm losing faith in them slowly... the Wii just doesn't have very many solid titles... The Gamecube didn't sell well, despite being a good system, and they definitely lost the console war of that generation... and thats why I fell they made the wii just to save themselves, they knew it would sell no matter what, because of it's innovation. I was expecting at least a new Starfox or Pikmin... Animal Crossing was the only real big announcement they made, and thats not THAT big...well, to most...I personally, chicken when I saw that...

Well I agree nintendo should look into being more creative but Resident evil 5, Gears of war 2 and Final Fantasy are all 3rd party titles the only reason we see them on Xbox is due to the powerful unreal 3 and white engines designed for it.(Although the white engine was ported to wii it is up to Square to use it) Personally I was hoping for a bit more considering the Metroid prime series is over I was hoping Retro studios would say they had future plans because they like Bungie have had a wonderful track record with more mature titles.

Nintendo didn't show anything. Anything at all. I agree, a New Star Fox title, would be fun. Online dog fights. Hey, why not? I like the concept of another Mario game. A REAL mario game, not just a knock off. They have so much to work with yet do so little...they want to keep their current audience and yet, don't choose to expand.

I hope Nintendo makes a Mario game of that quality again.

We have yet another die hard Nintendo fan and I myself am losing faith in Nintendo as well. The Prime series yes 2 out of 3 were good but their third Metroid game was the best title yet. Mario 64 yet another good title, but it is also yet a second one to be ruined and don't even get me started on Zelda. Twilight Princess decent game but.... something was missing. Due it be a harsh boss battle, hard to complete dungeon or both for that matter or was it just too short.
But all in all Nintendo needs to try and up their status in the Gaming Industry.
