Animal Crossing looks like fun, but Nintendo did not make me smile much...

I'll delete my thread....

I loved the sword fighting i Wii sports resort :)
Wii music looks fun.
and i'm wondering about the mario and zelda games he mentioned.

Animal Crossing and WiiSpeak interests me.

Not much else, though.

Cardinal · July 15, 2008, 10:17:09 AM

I was pretty impressed. Coming in with low expectations, I totally didn't expect WiiSpeak. <3

The only thing that interested me was Animal Crossing and WiiSpeak.

Everything else...not so much. -_-

Yeah, what happened to the big announcement for core gamers that they had?

I can't see GTA Chinatown Wars being THAT big.

They DID make me smile when they announced WiiSpeak, though.

The only thing I want is Animal Crossing Wii with the mic.
The rest was a disappointment for me. I guess I was right in the first place not to expect anything from this. Still, I was hoping for a Zelda game or something good.

Animal Crossing and Wii Music look fun, also Wii Speak

X-3 · July 15, 2008, 10:20:03 AM

So...is that it? Reggie said something about, "the next couple of days" in the farewell address. I'm not too familiar with how E3 works. Is there more to announce?

I honestly doubt there will be an E3 next year.

Yeah, the highlight of the show was Animal Crossing and WiiSpeak. Maybe Wii Sports Resort.

I think the biggest disaapointment will come from the people who were really expecting something big like the new Zelda or other things. I always have my Nintendo Power magazines to give me the info they never covered at E3, because I'm sure that if they had more time we would have seen alot more.
