E3 has came and left us this week but left fans hungering for more. Sony show was good and Nintendo's was not slightly amusing. I feel that Nintendo is giving more to casual game fans and less to hardcore players. This deals a serious blow to Nintendo's hardcore gamers. There is no need to fear.
I feel that Nintendo is just taking advantage of the market shift. More and more Mothers to grandfathers all over the world are getting into Nintendo. To Nintendo, hardcore genre fans are slipping into the fray. But this does not mean Nintendo has forgotten us. No way in hell.
I will make some daring predictions why this e3 shown more casual games. Here it goes...
1. Kid Icarus did not have enough development time. It needs to be cooked more to be really appreciated.
2. They started developing the New Zelda two months before e3. Most likely, still in post production.
3. Nintendo is not letting go of all their cards until the Wii sees a sales drought.
Number 3 is the most likely of them to be true. Nintendo has a lot of things planned. If they had revealed them all, that would be very retarded thing to do. In Nintendo's fan based market, You have to leave the consumer wanting more. If you reveal everything too soon, this leads people to lose interest in their investment down the line. No butts, this has been proven in market studies.
Another thing besides e3. Itoi, the earthbound creator is up to something it seems. Take a look at this web cam live from Itoi's studio break room. *SATURN CAM*
