Nintendo at E3 09 - It can't get much worse
After last years Nintendo E3 Conference, I tried to convince my self that it really wasn't the worst conference in the world. But in the end, I ended up only agreeing with everyone else in the world. Minus a quick reference to Call of Duty: World at War, and the announcement of GTA: China Town Wars, there was almost absolutely nothing that catered to the hardcore audience. Now that Nintendo has thrown out all the casual talk in last years E3, this years E3 just can not get any worse.
There are so many things Nintendo could surprise us with. I mean, Miyamoto himself said he is running out of innovative ideas. And most times Nintendo has an innovative idea now-a-days, it turns out very casual. Which may be a bad thing since Nintendo is known so well for their innovation. But less "super creative ideas" could mean less casual talk, and back to traditional core games.
I believe there is a slight, and I mean a very slight chance of a new Zelda announcement. Although it's possibly, It've not very likely. But once again, Nintendo needs to make up for last years E3, and what better way to do so then annoucne a new Zelda?
Then there is Pikmin Wii. Miyamoto obviously knew everyone was completely disappointed by the conference, so he made an un-official quick announcement that they are working on a new Pikmin. We are bound to hear news on the new Pikmin title this year at E3, and if not at E3, then at least sometime this year.
Nothing could have been hyped up more than Kid Icarus. But at the last second, the main source for all this Kid Icarus news announces the day before Nintendo's E3 conference that they won't be showing anything. But this year on the other hand, is a great possibility. That is, if the developer doesn't go out of buisness.
There are plenty more great titles seeing release on Wii this year. But these are third party titles, such as The Conduit, MadWorld, and Monster Hunter 3. So hopefully we can expect Sega and Capcom to share some info about those games.
