Coming from Kotaku.

Does anyone have a better way to watch it?

Will Nintendo drop the ball like everyone's predicting?

Im going to watch through IGN. I'm sure Nintendo will have some interesting things to say, as always, but it doesnt feel like they are unveiling anything major. Just showcasing games we already know about and are waiting for

Nintendo has been playing thier cards very close to thier chest for awhile now. after sony ripped off the Wii-motes motion sensoring they've only been announcing things once thier ready. So if by drop the ball you mean "Not announce anything thats a year away" than yeah I guess so.

Everytime I click, it stops right after a Marine ad.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl announced with a Dec. 3rd launch date.

I just want to say this is the worst Nintendo Conference I've ever seen... Ever. This is a disaster. Who the **** cares about Wii Fit? No real announcements, dates that will probably get pushed back... the only thing I liked so far was Mario Kart (online!!) which comes out next year.

Edit: It's over. This is the worst showing I've ever seen from Nintendo. I'm going to go cry right now. It was hilarious, no one fucking clapped in that conference. No clapping, it was as if Reggie and the japanese were talking to an empty room.

I dont have to see Sonys to say that Sony wins by default. Good job guys.

 

[Keith Justice]

I'm not surprised. With the massive winning and ass kicking that they've been doing, I'm pretty sure that Nintendo doesn't feel the need to wow for a while so long as their consoles keep selling out of stores and they're slowly taking over Japan.

They're too busy laughing and having money ball fights to make a good press conference.

 

[SaikoDragon]

No thats not it buddy. The fact is nothing they showed or talked about was interesting. They spent more time showing stupid ass video clips of what people said about the Wii and a lot of "spin" to fill up the time. They didnt even show NiGHTs. They barely showed anything. I think they do have to wow people. You have to remind people at least once a year why you should be investing in a Wii. If Sony walks away with a mega surprise, that just takes more attention away from nintendo. Ugh.

Anyway... yeah. Still waiting for games to come out for Wii. Waiting..

 

[Keith Justice]

Nah, I'm saying I agree... success is going to make Nintendo lazy... and so long as they're selling out, they can continue to be lazy.

I'm not happy about it.

I think Sony will walk away with the prize for best E3, because they've the most power behind their system and the most to prove right now after getting their asses kicked.

Sony will be this year's E3 winner.
