I think the Daily Mail will have field day with the Wii Sports Resort , childen virtually bashing the fuck out of each other playing sword fighting !

I think Nintendo will have to make this a 12 and over only.


And that bloke on the drums, LOL Classic.

I'm at work so I'm going to assume that that Youtube link is a poor attempt at imitating the Sony E3 piss take video.

"LOL IT USED TO BE SONY WHO DUN BAD E3s NOW ITS NINTENDO COS WE SAID SO NOT COS OF ANY ACTUAL REASON HURF DURF CAN WE LAUGH AT YOU NOW PLEASE???"

I can't be the only who thinks that a) this years wasn't as bad as last years, b) they were all as gash as each other (Microsofts was a little better, Sony's was just as terrible if Nintendo's was terrible) c) All of them don't even come close to the embarrasment that was Sony 2006's E3.

I don't get it, why many people "hail" MSs conference while bashing Sonys... (Nintendo is out of competition here, there we agree).

MSs conference was really weak (Sonys too, but the overall conference was a bit better than MSs, imho), and they only had one single big announcement, that wasn't even an exclusive game. The dashboard is a Wii and PS3 ripoff (well Home, to be specific), Lips is rips of Singstar etc etc... The "You're in the movies" segment was REALLY embarassing... And the rest was basically saying "we get all 3rd party games too" (i.e. RE5, Fallout etc...). Sony didn't show any 3rd party developer on stage, which I found strange, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Giving shit presentations has got to be better than lies or copying the other one surely? Lets face it these are toys, anyone from a number of toy companies including fisher price could come up with something better.
Nintendo could have had a load of clowns get up, squirt water at the audience and still out sell the other two put together 2-1.

Yup Erinan's link really really does sum it all up nicely.

Worst E3 showing by anybod, yest that does include the whole Riiiiiidge racer Sony fiasco.
Once more, more meh than the other two combined tbh.

Wait, the worst music game ever and.... Animal Crossing 64? Meh. I agree with the above posters. At least the infamous "Riiiiiiige Racer" press conference was interesting and had, you know, games in it.
