A look back on Nintendo's past three E3 press conference events

11
Ever since the Nintendo Wii was released back in 2006 it has been one of the most sought after items ever. Their marketing towards the system has made it gold bringing all ages together to just enjoy the simplest of games but is it truly the dominant force it has turned out to be ?. Here is lvlone's E3 analysis on the matter dating the release of the console.

"Nintendo's first true E3 involving the Wii was in 2006. It was here the public got to see many of the now classic games in the Wii library, including Mario Galaxy, Metriod Prime 3, and Wario Ware: Smooth Moves."

Watching Nintendo the past three years is like watching paint dry...
I'm exaggerating, but still I'm into hardcore gaming not casual gaming.

Nintendo is not trying to target gamers like most of us here on N4G.

The Wii is really the new NES- or 'Famicom'- A Family Computer with peripherals designed to extend its lifespan, with Gamecube-type graphics.

After they saw how popular the Wii was, Microsoft have tried to muscle in on this by turning themselves from being focussed on the hardcore to going all 'touchy-feely' with adverts about people watching movies together.

One of Sony's mistakes, I suppose, is that they've refused to climb down from that elitist pedestal they put themselves on. But at least they're not selling themselves out to some idealistic notion of family and community that people shouldn't even need to get from a console if they really do have a good family or community life.

No one ever seems to remember that Nintendo announced Chinatown Wars last e3.

Sure the conference as a whole sucked, but at least we got one gem.
