Agreed

I think Nintendo Land is cool. I also like the line up so far and hope more is shown tomorrow during their game jam thing.

...so...yeah...not such a great conference...
by Chetashiny Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 07:44 PM

I thought this year's E3 was average. The best conference would have to be Ubisoft, then Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc. God EA's conference was terribly boring. I am still very excited for the Wii U. Regardless of the usual haters, in my opinion, it looks like a fascinating console from Nintendo.

It's not that it was bad as much as just nothing exciting. You'd think especially with a new console there would have been more to make people excited for it.

Nintendo!

Tim walking in eating a fruit cup or whatever was amazing. and the jump high five. awesome.
by RadiantChaos Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 07:57 PM

I love Tim. In addition, I think that Nintendo's conference seems worse in my memory just because they ended with Nintendo Land. Up until that point, the conference was actually quite good, but the ending stained it.

Ben, how about you talk to Nintendo and make a new Super Mario Bros. movie with Kyle and Ben as Mario and Luigi?

I can't believe that Ben didn't even want to talk about Nintendo Land.
by Z-Man 94 Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:01 PM

well put. well put indeed. This basically sums it all up
by Brandon Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:02 PM

So then I didn't miss anything xp
by Mray901 Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:02 PM

BEST. ENDING. EVER. And I love how Tim just randomly showed in the middle of the video and high fived Ben. XD

On topic, I agree with pretty much everything you guys said. Nintendo started off strong, but they put way too much focus into Nintendo Land, and even teased us at the end by just showing more of it.
by tenzen Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:11 PM

Game industry ehh? I think there is potential for the system but their conference just wasn't exciting. They did a good join the beginning by quickly brushing past all the entertainment options and than just focusing on games but then they really went downhill by introducing some of the most lackluster new titles like Nintendo Land. Pikmin looks great and is likely to be a great title for the system but right now I just want a little more from them before I commit to buying one.
by MikComposer Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:16 PM

ok, anyone knows who is streaming or will be updating from the round table?

NINTENDO! *high-five freeze frame*

Not to say the videos are bad or anything.... But I rather read articles. I seem to get more info and retain it from reading than just hearing things.
by SamuraiZero Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:27 PM

This video, unlike the Nintendo press conference, had a great and entertaining ending.
by rekoin Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:27 PM

Looks great
by Applesteak Tuesday, June 05, 2012 at 08:29 PM

Tim just wanders in halfway through, that was priceless. I wasn't too disappointed by it, 3rd party stuff looks pretty cool and Pikmin 3 actually has my interest (never played the other 2)
