@@dogg-paws If that were the case, then why during the first couple of years of it being a thing, did Nintendo mostly focus on the casuals? It really wasn't til 2014 when it started being a core system.
@@supermariof0521 Early on we got games like Wind Waker HD and The Wonderful 101, which was for more "hardcore" gamers, and released before 2014 (nice goalpost moving BTW). Miyamoto also stated the need to target the core Nintendo base first and foremost during the Wii U days.
Because that was Nintendo's casual gimmick at the time. Heck, the year before, Iwata went on for a few minutes about how he used his DS to cook dinner and then Miyamoto spent 30 minutes talking about the Wii Fit board. The only difference is that she looks like a soccer mom. This is still the worst E3, but it's definitely not her fault. It's Nintendo's.
So they didn't bother to talk about Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, Pokemon Platinum, Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, New Super Mario Bros Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, or any other big game released around that time or the year after, but they show Wii Music.
I know your point is that it wouldn't have hurt to reveal other games they held off from revealing during E3 2008 but we don't know for sure what state the games were in at the time. Though given how they didn't even talk about Wario Land Shake It, it kinda feels like the casual market that bought Wiis most likely clouded their judgement on what games they should focus on.

VGguy49... 2009 had much less cringe and they at least announced super mario galaxy 2. It had *something* going for it. It was just a forgettable year. 2008 is one of the all time lows for not just Nintendo but all of E3

I've been on a marathon of watching Nintendo E3 confrences on youtube today. And I got to say that there's a noticeably sad decline in excitement from E3 2006 to 2008
While I do love the Wii, the opening has definitely showcased what the console tried to market itself towards. Because God forbid we market a gaming console for...gamers.
Oh god, the memories, I was so young and full of hopes and dreams back then, "YES! THIS IS THE YEAR THEY WILL SHOW F-ZERO, STARFOX, DS MOTHER ANTHOLOGY, GOLDEN SUN 3, COOL 3RD PARTIES!".... holy hell, I was way too disapointed, worst E3, it just made me think that the future of the company was going to be just casual games. It's a lot better now but we still have no F-Zero, not even a remaster.
Say what you want about the Switch being underpowered or NSO not being good enough for the asking price, but at the very least Nintendo is focusing on the core gamer once again and it's working marvels for them and their games. This was the Dark Age for Nintendo; they became too arrogant and way too focused on casual gaming, gimmicky use of motion, and Wii Motion Plus being introduced too late and with little support. Being a long time loyal Nintendo fan since the NES days, that owned only Nintendo consoles and handhelds, and a day one Wii owner that was 100% on board with Nintendo's vision, it was after this E3 that I decided to go multiplatform and got myself a 360. Nintendo had a great idea with the Wii, they had some legitimate great games like Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, The Conduit 1 and 2, but they also made many bad and dumb decisions during its lifespan and it all went downhill all the way up until they revealed the Switch.
I remeber watching this live, my brother was asleep during it I wasn't going to wake him up until the big announcement was coming....I kept waiting I was like anytime now.
dude, the amount of third party devs that were itching to make games on wii is the reason it has shovelware. same goes for the amount of shovelware on ps2
Huh, it turns out if you don't give Reggie his dose of Memes, he talks about fads and statistics; something people at the E3 Nintendo panel *Reeeeally don't want to hear.*
Red ` I heard that this one was bad, so I came to check it out (mostly for the comments). Looms awful compared to this years, although to be fair, this year's was pretty good in my opinion. I feel bad for Cammie, though. She tried her best, and people in these comments are trashing on her. No one deserves to be fired because of the poor planning of others.
JonnnyStorrrm we didnt even learn anything new. We knew it was 2016 release, the trailer didnt reveal anything new about the game. All we got was a small taste of english voices.
Pffffff, and people said Nintendo at E3 2015 was bad. Wii went sharply downhill after SSBB came out. At least the VC kept me playing in the long run though.
I actually liked Wii Music back when I had it. I used it to get trade in credit to buy Skyward Sword. I kind of miss playing that crazy game. My boys and I used to love playing that game together.
Yeah, yeah, the conference is bad, but it's quite sad seeing Satoru Iwata, seeing him all healthy and such, full of life. What a great man and in 2015, when he sadly passed, the gaming industry lost one of its best. RIP :/
I don't think anything can ever top take 2. At least Nintendo actually showed games at a event that's made to show games. If e3 is going to go full Zoom meeting then I don't think I'll watch from now on.
This is absolutely cringe-worthy, but you've got to appreciate executives who are willing to look a little silly to promote their games. :) Thank Iwata for Nintendo Directs, though. (Though, the cringe has been creeping back into those as well...)

2008 Nintendo E3 conference. Never forget. The most infamous can of bullshit ever shown on stage.
RIP Iwata
One hour conference and only 3 games announced?!
LMAO GOKU
Dont forget shawn white snowboarding
Technically, only Animal Crossing is a real game.
@Dan Kuso There were also a couple of games that were not shown like Wario Land Shake It
At least it’s better than 2016 that E3 only had 2 games
I still can't figure out how Carrot Top can live with himself after that snowboarding game presentation.
