NINTENDO @ E3 2010
We’ve got an hour to go until dinner’s ready, so let’s LIVE BLOG the Nintendo conference for as long as our hearts can stand it.
We’ve already had enough.
NEW BLOG IDEA: Men who have bought new shirts especially to wear at important events.
Ten minutes of this. The crowd has long since been lost. Miyamoto’s controller isn’t working. This is the future of games and why we don’t currently have a plugged-in console.
LIVE BLOG ABORT.
You have to pity the “hardcore” Nintendo people in the crowd when stuff like this comes on. Do they show brand loyalty and cheer, or mock and jeer like they’ll be doing on internet forums via the hotel wi-fi after tonight’s wank marathon?
Now a man’s complaining about how much prescription glasses cost. He’s got a point.
Nervous Nintendo men about to get a go at standing near some ladies!

Sorry about that. What a boring collection of tired old games for children that was.

Don’t know you’re apologising, surely it should be Nintendo doing that?
Besides, you slogging your way through all of these means we don’t have to. Not that I was going to, although it’s not as if I have anything better to do with my time…

Zorg, man, what is wrong with you? They’ve got Animal Crossing! In 3D!! AnimalCrossingIn3D!!! IN 3D!!!! You will be there, in Big City again. Only in 3D. And everyone knows that 3D is the best thing ever, even though Sony said so as well.

1. Please find attached an extra word to cut out and keep.
‘why’
Serving suggestion: place in my comment above, between ‘know’ and ‘you’re’
2. Don’t do it Zorg, you’re stronger than that. You can fight it. You don’t need to be that bastard Tom Nook’s slave anymore. You’ve moved on now and you’re a better man for it. Just remember the counselling sessions and remember we’re all here for you.

Tom Nook’s not in it anymore.
Having loaned out too much money to ‘sub-prime’ borrowers, the subsequent economic meltdown in Big City caused him to hang himself in shame.
:(
RIP you evil moneylending, penny-pinching bastard. If i’d wanted an extension I WOULD HAVE ASKED.

I loved it. The Nintendo conference made me feel happy and loved and, sandwiched between the mind-numblingly boring MS and Sony conferences (the Sony one was made slightly more enjoyable by my Virgin download cap kicking in and making the video go all blocky and crap just when they started bringing out the big guns like Killzone 3 and Gran Turismo and talking about 3D and high definition), it actually made me genuinely smile. Especially the bit where Reggie’s face is getting burned off by Bowser while he goes AAAHHHHH.
Lots of colour and happy gaming memories. It made me get the Dreamcast out of the attic. Nintendo managed to do that. NINTENDO! I’d like to write something involving the space-time continuum but I just can’t do it.

The best thing about the 3DS? The graphics look like Dreamcast. Except lower res. And with modern shader effects. And in 3D, apparently. But other than that, they look just like what Sega’s swirly box of delight used to put out, colour fidelity-wise.
So, wait – does this mean that Blue Skies now belong to Nintendo?
