Nintendo Press Conference

It's the sequel to Umbrella Chronicles. On-rails-shooter.
Dead space looks more serious than I expected.

The multiplayer Mario game looked like a lot of fun. It could really use a level editor though.

I can't believe they didn't show Zelda. They're a bunch of morons.

I was disappointed with lack of Zelda DS stuff too. I think that new Metroid game has the potential to be awesome, the trailer was pretty sweet. I don't know what to think about Super Mario Galaxy 2. Honestly I think Nintendo is just being lazy by making a sequel for it, especially in same console gen. It's hard to complain though since Galaxy is like the Wii's flagship game at the moment.

The whole press conference felt a tad bit underwhelming though. Nothing quite as eye-raising as what Microsoft had. The real killer though will be if Sony has something up their sleeve.

I don't get why folks are upset they didn't show a Zelda, I guess not the biggest Zelda fan, but I may eat crow for this, maybe they haven't really nailed down a concept that would make Zelda as new and fresh as they wanted.

I was a little surprised at no Zelda: Spirit Tracks since I assume their big DS game for the year.

What confused me the most was the Wii Vitality, like maybe they have some ideas, but they just kind of threw it out there without a proper introduction and I can't really see it improving any game or even helping create some new genre.

Also shocked at no Miyamoto, which I thought they would save for their big reveal.

Am I the only one who did not miss the only Zelda news there was? Spirit Tracks is there ready to play for people at E3. We are gonna see it this year. A new video would have been nice. Mabey some cam jobs will appear in the E3 aftermath.

I'm a little surprised too since he is the man.

Yeah man, that's what I was expecting. I was watching the live feed from Nintendo. I waited a full 2 minutes after the stage cleared at the end then realised people were getting up and leaving and in fact we would see no Shiguru today.
