Given that a new Animal Crossing is coming out, I'm all super excited. Yet, really, looking back on Nintendo's E3 press conference out of a BOO to JAWSOME scale, I'd give it a meh. I feel as if Nintendo is hiding something, anything. That one big bang.
Pros
-all of the games look awfully interesting. some, more than others, but its a lot of potential.
-Animal Goddamn Crossing. God I'm such a fangirl for that.
-The Star Wars game looks like it could be awfully solid.
-Wii Music looks fun in the making terrible music way. I can't wait for the numerous "Never Gonna Give You Up" and "The Final Countdown" covers.
-GTA Chinatown Wars seems like fun, so long as they keep that free roamin' violent killing spree goodness. None of this top down nonsense.
-Wii Sports Resort looks like it'd be cool. I might just get it for the Motionplus, my sister can play all the Wii Sports she wants.
-Guitar Hero: On tour Decades. Please, please choose really awesome songs. Seriously, no Aqualung
-Spore. This might be the big seller. I've seen it as sort of a DIY Pokemon, and so far, I've liked what I've seen.
Cons
-Call of Duty, maybe its just me and my terrible, terrible skills with any sort of hardcore FPS, but this really didn't wow me. And with that weirdly shaped WiiZapper, it seems mediocre.
-Where are the old franchises? F-zero? Pikmin? Kid Icarus? EARTHBOUND?!?
-Seriously, Nintendo, its been thirteen years, I demand my goddamn EarthBound.
-The microphone attachment for the wii. So, it may look pretty cool, chatting with friends online, but oh, I feel a creepy sinister vibe from it. If it was a headset, maybe, but coupling a microphone with Animal Crossing could end up rather...bad. Then again, I dont expect hardcore Halo kids screaming "FAG I FUCKED YOUR MOM. HAHAH TIIIITTTSS." to buy Animal Crossing, so who knows.
-Oh, and it turns out the WiiSpeak is sold....SEPARATELY. NINTENDOOOOO!
-Seriously, Shaun White? Come on, lets just have 1080 for Wii.
-That woman who came out talking during the beginning pissed me off to no end. I dont care about your wrist.
I feel a slightly Sega vibe from Nintendo.
