Nintendo Press Conference 2010

Nintendo’s E3 2010 was, without a doubt, better than E3 2009, 2008, and 2007. However, I don’t think anything can top E3 2006 with the unveiling of the Wii and the long lines and stampedes to the console.

Most interesting is how Nintendo is making game journalists obsolete. Iwata Asks has Iwata interview his own developers and ask all the more interesting questions. On Nintendo’s website, interviews with full video were shown where they describe the products. This means Nintendo is bypassing biased game journalists who often ‘write against’ whatever Nintendo does. Nintendo seems interested in taking their stuff directly to the consumer.

What I think is most interesting is how right after the conference, Nintendo starts having people play their games. Nintendo anxiously wants everyone to get an experience with 3DS. This is very different from Microsoft with Kinect. Playing is believing. It was true in 2006 and still true in 2010.

Legend Of Zelda Graphics
I think it really is genius, while talking to a person in a live chat we went back and forth over whether it's Celda again or not, with me thinking it is.
We came to the conclusion that it's a mix of the two, I guess to appease to both fans of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.

I don't think that the perception for Skyward Sword will last that it has bad controls, reports are coming in of smooth gameplay and controls.

Another thing that is Interesting is Mario Sports Mix,
if the games have the depth of past Mario sports titles released that featured only one sport, then it has amazing potential for both the core and casual, it's like a breach title something they also called it if I remember correctly.

It seems Nintendo didn't really overload the presser but only teased things to be revealed slowly throughout E3, like check this out -

http://e3.nintendo.com/3ds/

and this list of games
http://gonintendo.com/views...

there's all types of new games they've revealed later on, even some with footage like Metal Gear Solid 3DS coming out.

good show overall, I wonder what else is in store for everyone.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi69d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer70d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot69d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box69d ago (Edited 69d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno69d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay69d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno68d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK68d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
