We may have been posting press releases and fact sheets for E3 already but here comes the meat and potatoes of E3.

We here at Nintendo-Centrum are die hard Nintendo fans even so much to say core fans but Nintendo at E3 once again seemed to conservatively walked through E3 trying to be safe even though there were a couple of nice things shown but it just seems that Nintendo is losing its step and touch with hardcore gamers or hardcore Nintendo fans. Nintendo is moving to a wider audience, which is smart, but Nintendo is loosing sight of what made Nintendo. Sure Nintendo will show off one or maybe two games that the hardcore Nintendo fans like but that really is not enough. Also another sad thing at the conference you can hear polite clapping instead of happy intense clapping. Only once or twice you hear like three people cheering instead of the other Conferences at E3.

At the beginning of the Conference Cammie talks about Mario and about a new game. Honestly I started to become emotional as I felt this was going to be a special brand new game of Mario and it turned out to be………OMFG……………LAME!

Instead of just speaking about what happened why don’t you just watch what happened. After the video I will break it down into pros and cons concerning my view of what happened. Carl and dajaco may chime in the comments on how they felt about E3 2009 Nintendo.

You can see and hear the press conference below via Gamespots Video of Nintendo’s Conference below.

If you watched the video now take a look at the pros and cons.

Pros:
Wii Sports Resort
Mario Galaxy 2
Metroid Other M
Motion+
Retro Studios is Working on Something!!

Cons:
Mario Galaxy 2
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Wii Vitality Sensor
Womens Murder Club??
Again Lack of Motion+
Too much Philosophy and Less Game Action
Almost the Entire Conference

To me I think Nintendo Dropped the ball but not having more Motion+ action, too much talk, and the Vitality Sensor – WTF. Now why are Super Mario Bros Wii and Galaxy 2 in the cons section you might ask? As for the New Super Mario Bros Wii it is cool that you can play with four players as well as single player and the world maybe, maybe, will be different I just can’t see my self plopping down 49.99 for this game. I respect Miyamoto’s wish to have four-player action in the original Super Mario Bros but I just do not agree with this title. If the game is a Wii Ware title I can understand this direction with the game but if it is not and it does cost a full price for game Nintendo is loosing it.

Now for Mario Galaxy 2 No doubt it will be a great game like the first one with Mario’s New moves and the including of Yoshi (Awesome) but the problem I have with this is one the game comes out next year the game is basically done with the engine. I can understand adding new moves to the game would add more time but heh. The other issues is come on make a brand new game do not rehash and sequel-ise your games don’t follow the path of Square Enix and several other game companies. That is really the only two cons I have with the game and as you see it is both a pro and con so it’s a mixture.

The other cool interesting tidbit that happened was by the Man Reggie himself. I watched the G4TV E3 Special Presentations and after the Nintendo Conference Reggie spoke with the hosts of the show and Billy Berghammer of PGC Planet GameCube, Game Informer Website, now G4TV website fame. Billy spoke up asking why Nintendo went with Team Ninja for the Metroid Game instead of Retro Studios. Reggie let it out that Retro Studios is working on something right now but could not say anything about it. Now what could this project be? Is it something completely new, or a new game for a Nintendo Character, could it be Project Hammer? Who knows but we have to keep watching and waiting for this.
