Why Nintendo “Won” E3 2010

From Ripten: Welcome to the third in our multi-part series on E3 2010, and who the “winner” is. One writer will take each company, and argue why they “won” the show.

This time it's Nintendo's turn.

greeneggsnsam5783d ago

The 3Ds is really exciting. I honestly can't wait!

Drjft5783d ago

I find the Nintendo range of gaming devices are more enjoyable for short bursts. That's why I love my DS and Wii.

greeneggsnsam5783d ago

Yeah, the DS is really great for puzzle game and the like especially.

ElementX5783d ago (Edited 5783d ago )

Nintendo did win. They announced a ton of games that nobody had seen before. Most of what Sony showed had been leaked or posted online. Nintendo 3DS has so many games coming out! Even remakes of games I've never played before! I'm really excited. MS did have the worst showing, however I'm surprised they kept the new 360 under wraps for so long! It was leaked only days before E3. MS does know how to keep things secret. Remember the PS3 slim? That was leaked over a month in advance!

hatchimatchi5783d ago

yea,

I don't really think people get excited over slim consoles though. If anything it's just to help boost sales, like when the ps3 slim came out, it was sony trying to rebrand themselves from the disaster that was the 06-07 ad campaign. Most people didn't care about the fact that the system was smaller, but were happy that the price was smaller.

For microsoft the price is the same isn't it?

bfenty5783d ago

yeah...totally buying a 3DS on launch day. no question.

greeneggsnsam5783d ago

Me too. If only for the Ocarina of Time remake!

hatchimatchi5783d ago

me 3!

I can't wait to see more of the RE title and I can't describe how excited I am for the OOT remake.

Arnon5783d ago

Kid Icarus
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
Animal Crossing
Star Fox 64 3D
Paper Mario
Mario Kart

Those are just the titles that I want that are coming directly from Nintendo. Also, Kid Icarus was quite possibly one of the nicest looking handheld titles I've ever seen.

hatchimatchi5783d ago

Who cares who "won"

Nintendo had a great conference & the 3DS looks awesome.

Sony had a great conference & showed that they are taking motion controls seriously.

Microsoft....well, i'm not sure what they were thinking.

gynecologistcobra5783d ago

Right, remember when he announced that gaming thing that we all loved?

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.

PRIMORDUS17d ago (Edited 17d 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.

0hMyGandhi42d 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.

AuraAbjure42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer43d 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.

-Foxtrot43d 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_Box43d ago (Edited 43d 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

Inverno43d ago

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

Eonjay43d 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.

Inverno42d 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.

Killer2020UK42d 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 🤷‍♂️
