Hello Malstrom. I hope you have enjoy the E3 excitement. And I must say, I thought exactly what you did about Sony’s conference. It felt very bloated, like it was long but nothing happened.
So I have a question about something you said earlier. You mentioned that the only two games that would push momentum were DKC4 and Epic Mickey (which I didn’t like, but I wasn’t really interested in the game to begin with). But I’m surprised you didn’t think Goldeneye would push Wiis. There has been a lot of latent demand for a shooter. Why would you say that the game wont push Wiis (at least not to an amazing level)?
Also, what do you think of Kid Icarus? After reading about content on your site, it was interesting to notice some of the stuff in the trailer (like Pit’s wings “burning up” and the two headed hellhound).
Also, one thing I noticed is the change in E3. I really liked the E3 09 conference. It was very professional and everyone was dressed nice. This one seemed a lot like kind of like a show (for the lack of a better word). Miyamoto kind of came out in a funny way, not to mention Miyamoto and Iwata being sucked up into the 3DS. I also noticed Cammy wasn’t there (which I hope isn’t permanent because I though she’s done a great job and gives a different feel to Nintendo).
So that’s what I thought of E3. Take it easy and I hope we can see “Endgame,” soon. I can’t wait to read it.
Sincerely
XXXX
P.S. I’ve noticed that everyone has talked about the games shown except Mario Sports Packs. Interesting.
I wasn’t around during the N64 time. I missed the ‘Goldeneye’ phenomenon. My reservation with it is that FPS games are so well represented on Nintendo’s competitors to the point of over-saturation. I am under the impression that Goldeneye did originally well because there wasn’t much of FPS games on home consoles. Goldeneye was before the Xbox, before Halo, and all.
Kid Icarus looked interesting, but I hate the voice acting. I need to learn more about the game. I have been too busy answering emails to catch up on details and show room impressions on them. The gameplay seems fast which I like. I’m curious to see more about it.
