All Nintendo has is...

Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon? I don\'t think so. Nintendo had arguably the best showing and they didn\'t show Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon. That just gives me that much more respect for Nintendo. I thought I\'d post that because I just realized this and maybe some of you guys still haven\'t realized it.

That\'s where you\'re wrong.  Mario, Pikachu, and Link were shown in SSB2.  And Luigi Mansion is classified as a Mario game in my book.

I was not impressed with the games.  They are still way too kiddie.  The graphics of the system are good, but they are not any better than the Xbox or PS2 IMO.

Stop that "nintendo is kiddie!" bull****! I\'m so sick of it. Nintendo makes great games. Fun and innovative. Don\'t be a hayta. Nintendo is #1 in my book.

Well, there is no denying that the mass demographic auidence Nintendo tries to appeal to is the under 12 age group. This however does not mean the games are less compelling, interesting, and all in general fun.

Come talk to me when Nintendo as a whole makes new games rather than more sequels.

Metroid, Luigi, SSB, Rogue Squadron, Star Fox, etc,etc,etc are all sequels to old games!! Come up with some new stuff would ya!

Same sort of thing can be said about PS2.

GT3
Silent Hill 2
Resident Evil: CV Complete
Tekken Tag
DOA2: Hardcore
Ridge Racer 5
Wetrix 2

The sequels ain\'t the problem I don\'t think, its the fact that Nintendo have a target audience full stop. I mean both Sony and Microsoft don\'t really have any audience as kiddy and mature games will be released.

It does seem that the majority of Nintendo games are generally based for kids. So far the current list isn\'t promising either but there should still be more than enough mature games for the console. Its really too early to tell what will happen.

i DISAGREE compared to sony and ms nintendo was so lackluster. The games they showed off did not look bad, but they are nothing but the same old titles we new they already going to develope. And second they did not blow the competition out of the water so I say your wrong.

Well I think Nintendo\'s E3 was disapointing, yet still the best E3 out of Sony and Microsoft.

I mean considering not much was known about the Nintendo Gamecube, it could have been a lot better. We didn\'t learn much new information and most of the games that were on show, you could have guessed they were in development.

The most interesting news was the release date of the Gamecube in my opinion.

What you people don\'t seem to realize is that Nintendo does not makes games specifically for kids.  They make games that can be enjoyed by broad audiences (Kids/Teens/Young Adults), whereas the developers that you people admire cater only to your specific age group (Teen/Young Adult).  How could so many of you people be under such a false notion?

So I guess you\'re saying that you had no idea what games were being developed for Sony and MS. I don\'t know about you, but the majority of the titles that were announced for all three consoles weren\'t that much of a surprise. If I had to pick though, I\'d say Nintendo made the biggest splash on me with their upcoming games. I mean come on, can you honestly say that you knew...

I don\'t think any one company blew anyone out the water this E3. Sony, MS, and Nintendo all looked spectacular to me.

Rasputin,

I think you\'re wrong here. Of course Nintendo isn\'t gonna say that a game like Luigi\'s Mansion is specially aimed at 12 years and under. They would never make such a statement to the media, they would only hurt their own sales potential. :nut:
But Nintendo knows it\'s biggest buck and that\'ll always
be the young gamer.
If you read most of the interviews with developers (3rd party ), every time they stress that they think about what game of theirs goes to what console.
Every dev says that their mature game goes to PS2 and XBOX and their kiddy or \'all ages game\' goes to a Nintendo console.
Xample : Konami - huge multiplatform dev. MGS2 to PS2
Silent HIll 2 to PS2 , the X versions to XBOX.
Konami stated officially Silent Hill 2 won\'t appear on NGC because of it\'s gruesomeness.

Maybe you say : " But it\'s coming to GBC or GBA ! "
That\'s always been the case, because the handheld is a graphic less explicit format. That\'s why GB always had stacks of mature games like PSX and the N64 didn\'t.
When I had my N64 and I played Diddy ( which was fun though ) ppl said it was gay or that I should grow up ! )
The kiddy image is, and will always be, Nintendo\'s paradoxal dillemma. Their strength is their weakness or vica versa. ( maybe their strength portion is just a bit bigger ! )

The ONLY games that could even be thought of as kiddie are Pikmin and Luigi\'s Mansion. Out of all the games shown and announced how does that make the GCN lineup kiddie? Get your head out of your ass.

Hey Altered, why did Sega\'s remakes sell the best?

Nintendo did alright if your a Nintendo fan

Overall E3 pretty much left no doubt in my mind that Xbox will be my 2nd console

Nintendo makes some cool games I guess but I really think they\'re overrated.  I still see a heluva alot more games on the PS2 that interests me a lot more then 90% of GC titles thus far.

I honestly don\'t understand how anyone came to the conclussion that Nintendo stole the show.

Everything I\'ve seen says SOny has alot going for them

Dammit, how many times must I say that Nintendo, as a whole, isn\'t the one developing these so called "kiddy" games (Go ahead, name one.)?? They\'re all coming from Rare, Rare and HAL (Pokemon and Banjo). Why is this so hard to get through to you people??

it really doesn\'t matter now does it. They\'re all Nintendo 2nd parties so it techically Nintendo

Don\'t take it so seriously, but the fact remains the GC is already geared towards the young.
