The thing is, though, we were promised games for the hardcore gamer. The most hardcore we got was the new Animal Crossing game.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

Takun

Well Im sorry to say that I have a firm belief that Nintendo is not that T for teen. Talking to Animals and paying mortgage to a raccoon is about as hardcore as it gets. Trust me, you ever seen that raccoon's mortgage payments? HUGE.

The game doesn't have to be rated "T." Look at Super Mario Galaxy! That was an "E" game, but it's a lot of fun for all kinds of gamers! Not to mention it didn't have motion-control overkill like so many Wii games do now...

Galaxy IS a good example but either way, its not exactly a (in my opinion) the kind of hardcore game people want. I think there are people that still cling to the idea that Nintendo will release something like Silent Hill or Call of Duty. I think when we were promised HARDCORE games people took it the wrong way. And we have to take into consideration that even people like Miyamoto get artist's block. Maybe the company is running out of ideas?

When Nintendo promises "hardcore" games, they usually mean something in the neighborhood of Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, or Mario.

A key Nintendo franchise, basically. If you want games that are really hardcore, like Call fop Duty or Street Fighter, sorry to say, but Nintendo isn't the place to go.

I... uh... no. >: As much of a fan of Sirent Hirru and NINTENDO as I am, I can honestly say something like that would be no good.

I mean, I love both Team Silent and the Nintendo team, but... honestly? The two operate totally differently. A GC port might not be that bad, but... I'd be a little wary of the game coming out to the wii. (of course, this is just a personal thing-nervous hands/bad sensor bar reception makes Fisk piss-poor at these things)

And I don't think they usually announce ports as anything significant in these sort of gaming events-so I'm just assuming you meant Nintendo making them in your post. O:

Twilight Wolf

I'm hoping that at E3 2009 Sega will totally surprise the heck out of everyone and announce that they're making a new console. That'd be a dream-come-true for me...

Of course, if they announced something like "We're reviving SegaNet! You can now go online with your Dreamcast again!," I'd be incredibly happy then, too.

I think he meant new releases. --- that was talking to Mags who BALEETED HIS POST

Also, I really needed to post what I got in my e-mail:

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated Silent Hill 3 or other games in the PlayStation 2 > Adventure category have also purchased Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour. For this reason, you might like to know that Disney Hannah Montana: Spotlight World Tour will be released on August 12, 2008.... "

I... uh, it's not really related to E3 itself, but.... i'm ttly lookin forward to that game right there. Since, you know, it's so similar to Silent Hill.

Twilight Wolf

Amazon.com is pretty dumb sometimes... Of course, maybe that says something about the people who buy Silent Hill games... Except for you, of course.

I know; I realized that as soon as I posted it. :P

Honest to god I've never played silent hill. I've seen the movie and read about the game but I've never played.

Well, for some reason or another, my internet crashes whenever I try to go to the site I had the Shigeru quote, so to paraphrase:

Shigeru says that they (Nintendo) won't be using e3 to appeal to the core gamer anymore and will instead use it to appeal to a broader audience with Wii add-ons.

Takun

Then maybe their using that big Japanese "e3" as a way to get things across?

Ah, so there's hope... Guess they may do it at the Tokyo Game Show, then.
