Ghosts Of E3 Past: The Reggie Cometh
Zelda just hasn't been the same as of late. They've been good games but the LTTP and OOT parts of my brain are where the fond memories lie.
What I'm waiting on is.......F-ZERO!
A new F-Zero would make me smile muchly.
Genuinely most necessary article ever. Oh Reggie...you da' man.
The screams in the second video still make me cringe...like...dude, it's only Zelda.
I cant wait for this years conferences...here is to hoping at least one of them is embarrasing and or ridiculous...like Ravi Drums!
After watching the terrible conferences Nintendo brought to the table in 07/08, it's sad remembering how awesome their 04 and 06 conferences were. (05 was a pretty disappointing E3 overall, it was too early for Nintendo/Sony to show anything major off, besides those classic pre-rendered videos by Sony, and Microsoft deflated the 360 hype with that lame MTV unveiling weeks prior to E3)
I love the guy screaming, "OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!" over and over in that video. Seeing how that game turned out, that was ESPECIALLY ridiculous.
Kinda reminds me of when Nintendo was still cool. Sigh....
Oh yeah, remember when Nintendo was about the games? Instead of now, when they are about lame casual minigame collections?
This year Reggie is going to saunter onto the stage at E3 and slowly roll up one sleeve to reveal a tattoo of Fox McCloud. After the cheers die down a bit he is going to roll up his other sleeve and reveal a permanent tattoo that simply states "Will sellout for grannies."
Like to see, new Kid Icarus,....hmm,...too early for Mario and Zelda for me, besides they already have a new Zelda coming to DS. How about a new Metroid, after all isn't the Prime series now over? Be nicew to see the series take a new direction. Return to 2D even would be cool. Even remakes of the old game would hot.
I remember getting goose bumps when that Zelda trailer ended and Shiggy walked out with sword and shield.
I'm not anticipating any big new announcements to my favorite Nintendo series this year. Unless they're bringing back Wave Race with a Jet Ski and Wave Pool peripheral. But since there's a wave race minigame in Wii Sports 2, I'd be surprised if we saw a new full Wave Race ever again. And frankly I would rather have some of the open world ATV racing devs give the PWC genre a go. Jet Moto was an embarrassment.
I would be somewhat surprised if they announced another Zelda next week. I'm thinking that there'll be more show on Pikmin than anything else.
I use to love Nintendo, but after the huge let down at last year's show, I can't say I expect much from them anymore.
No more Wii Music. No more Wii Fit. Hell, if I see anyone mimic anything in relation to frisbee throwing at the press conference, I think I'll be forced into brain aneurysm mode. I need CREATIVE fun. FANTASY fun. Not LET'S DO WHAT WE COULD NORMALLY DO BUT CHOOSE NOT TO fun.
Just curious since I never saw an e3 from before it went formal and press but since E3's back to the old format, do the companies have conferences more intended for gamers? Meaning more of a show than a presentation?
No one should be that excited about anything, unless it's Bruce Willis deflecting a asteroid from Earth.
