Topic: "How Nintendo could WIN E3" - IGN.com

Sure, I know some of you guys love to bash IGN but just sound off on what you think of the article.

And easy with the replies, we certainly don't need another IGN bash thread going.

_{Awwwww puts pitchfork and flaming torches away}

I don't care if they win. There are already enough games I haven't gotten yet.

E3 is a competition? Who knew?

It lies in the eye of the beholder. To me, Nintendo "won" E3 2009 since I am simply not really interested (yet) in Sony's and Microsoft's consoles.
The article is pretty pointless IMO.

Just read the article. Zelda wii has a mighty chance of surpassing the Halo: Reach hype. Don`t get me wrong I like halo, but halo 3 kinda ruined it for me. I think Nintendo needs a big "win".

Didn't you know? E3 stands for extremely emulous engagement.

• Playable 3DS that works and is full of winsauce, a storage solution, and DSiWare transfer and Virtual Handheld announced.
• Zelda trailer
• After these two things, I will have fainted from win overload, so I don't even care about whatever else is shown.

Interesting thoughts in the article. Nothing too deep or surprising, but a good quick read. I CAN'T WAIT FOR E3!

I agree completely. This is even key for i think many to just go and purchase the new 3DS when it comes out.

Everyone knows the 3DS and Zelda are coming so unless Nintendo announces a new F-Zero or Star Fox for the Wii, I will consider their E3 a failure.

What's the prize for "winning" E3?

EDIT: Let the IGN bashing begin Here is my opinion on the topic: This is the most absolutely pointless conversation I've ever read. It's mostly about how the "hardcore" fanbase will react to the press conference. Yet the freelancer pointed out that the hardcore base isn't the only ones watching the show anymore. Let me tell you how Nintendo can win the show: by pleasing THEIR fans. The hardcore fanbase already turned their backs on the Wii for ridiculous reasons, so why should they care anymore? The Wii and DS were successful because they pleased more than a handful of gamers. Take note, as Sony and Microsoft are starting to go on the same route.

And that is my rant for today

I don't think that Nintendo could care less whether they "win" E3 or not. So long as they keep selling more games and hardware than anyone else they'll be happy.

I'm having my own E3 competition. The first company to reveal a new Fire Emblem wins. I'll accept Disgaea 4 or something similar if no Fire Emblem is revealed. You can do this, Nintendo.

So pretty much a high-ish profile Strategy RPG? Hmmm, that could go either way... especially considering I don't think Nintendo is anywhere close to announcing a new Fire Emblem.

Nintendo's last year's E3 show was a disappointment apparently, lol.

Why not? They generally release one every two years. Never more than three years apart. Its been two years since Shadow Dragon, and even if they aren't ready to release it this year, they would likely be by early next year if patterns persist, which would make now a good time to reveal. Of course, I have no factual evidence to support the hunch, but fingers remain firmly crossed nonetheless.

Also, I read recently that Intelligent Systems believes Fire Emblem belongs primarily on home consoles, so I'm hoping this means another Wii outing with cutscenes and voice acting. I'd be pretty sad if they announced it for DS again right after I sold my DS, which I bought almost exclusively to play Shadow Dragon.

Anyone know what odds the bookies are giving of Nintendo winning E3. I fancy myself a bet. . They are gonna PWN!!!

Oh boohoo, the hardcore gamers are sad

@Adam: IS seemed to have been concentrating on downloadable stuff since the release of the DSi which is why I don't think a new one would be ready yet. I think it was the FE team who worked on Dragon Quest Wars but I can't imagine that took too long to make. I wouldn't doubt that they're well into the process of making a new entry though.

Announce good virtual console games
