E3 is no longer for core gamers.

Nintendo has been getting plenty of bad feedback from their core audience regarding their E3 performance focusing too much on casual games. But Mario's father, Shigeru Miyamoto has once again made a comment regarding Nintendo's stance on games, and is simply claiming that they are working on plenty of core games, but E3 is not the time or place to announce it.

"For a very long time, E3 was an event where — and certainly Nintendo included — catered specifically to the core gamer. Now we look at more … an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now.”

Miyamoto has already confirmed that new Mario, Zelda and Pikmin titles are currently in development, however no footage or details about them were revealed.

"So while attending an E3 event like this, they (the fans) might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we’re still working on many of those titles, but it’s just not the type of event where we’ll be showcasing that anymore."

Last time I checked, casual gamers don't give a crap about gaming expos because they are "casual gamers". This means Nintendo need to take the Tokyo Game Convention seriously, a lot of their fans are disappointed with them.

Ah yes E3, I remeber when it was CES! And form that time till now Nintendo has always make us wait and wounder! Remember how long it took Nintendo to show us Mario sunsine or Zelda 64!! Its crazy. But seeing how Nintendo can live off of DS sales alone shows that even though Nintendo want to do there own thing at E3, its always worth the wait! Obaiyo!!

Re: E3 is no longer for core gamers.

It would be one thing if this was some press conference televised on cable TV or something. But when you have to know when the event is and the website that are streaming the conferneces, and the reports that fewer and fewer people are there because of invite only, you'd think the audience would be more core gamers and would want to hear about core games.

I don't mind hearing about AC:CF or Wii Sports Resort or even Wii Music, but at least give us something more than 2 minutes of Clone Wars and Call of Duty, both of which look AWESOME!!!

That's good news. Hopefully, Nintendo will come along and give us some details to ease our patience and allow for us to be content with the Wii.

Defo. We have always been waiting for decent games and things like that, and then they give them to us but about 2 years late. I think they expect people to waste their money rubbishy games while they wait for decent ones to come out. I mean, Hardcore gamers newest dream is obliviously gonna be Pikmin 3! They need decent games to come out :( I'm starting to think of getting a XBox ...

Re: E3 is no longer for core gamers.

the Tokyo Game Convention has always been taken seriouslt with nintendo, because they think that there are more "core" gamers in japan...

and also, nintendo is based in japan... which means when they are making games, they make them in japanese first... right?

well why not release info on them them at the tokyo game convention?

why should they need to translate it to english when the game isnot ready yet?

(does that make sense?)

Re: E3 is no longer for core gamers.

But Nintendo Is always worth the wait. I mean, they spent another year or two of delay on OoT. And look, its the best game of all time! And dont forget Super Smash Bros Brawl with all those delays. So just play some of your old systems. mean, I hae to wait until the price of the games I want drop down to the highest of $30 and hopefully $20. I mean, I want to get MKWii And Brawl. Its gonna take a while till the prices drop on those.



Edit: Who Can you afford all of that?

Re: E3 is no longer for core gamers.

I think E3 for Nintendo was great, they announce a voice chat ( which people were really complaining bout that the wii didn't have one),the motionPlus which will give a better gameplay, a confirmation of a new Mario, zelda, and pikmin game. What more can you ask for, its nintendo anywas....

I just hope they don't delay those games ( which they will ). Twilight princess was delayed alot of time, and once it came out, it wasn't the best game ever. There were plenty of games better than it. Brawl was delayed also to make the game better, but it could've been better, and probably the best reason for someone to buy it is because it supported online gameplay, which in fact online was its worst feature.

Just remember, the more you wait, the worst the game would be because people had enough time to imagine how good the game would be.
