Let's face it, this year's E3 was extremely underwhelming from almost every aspect. There were a few rays of light, but it was otherwise a lackluster year. Nintendo of America also seems to feel much like the gaming community and press did. Here's what Nintendo's Cammie Dunaway had to say:
VGC: What is your message to people who weren稚 happy with Nintendo痴 E3 conference?
CD: I would say the message is we were disappointed with our performance at E3. There were titles like Wario which we think will be really fun titles that we should have show cased. We were excited that Mr. Miyamoto made the commitment that Pikmin is coming. It would have been nice if we could have said that on stage. But, we think it was a good recognition for us that we care for our core fans, and not just the new people who are now discovering Nintendo.
VGC: You told me last night that you cried (laughter) because people were making fun of you after the conference. Do you feel better now? How do you look back on the conference? What is your position on the conference (reactions)?
CD: My position as head of sales and marketing is that I知 listening to the fans. I知 championing the things they care about. I知 helping to make sure we bring great games to the market place. I知 genuine, I知 new to gaming I知 not pretending to be more than I am. I知 having a blast. I feel similar to people who are just discovering games for the first time. I think for us as an industry, its good that we池e growing. That brings more money to the industry. That makes it attractive for more people to develop more games. We have to embrace the fact that new gamers can be good for everybody. Core gamers should help new gamers to discover their passion for gaming.Perhaps Nintendo and the other heavy hitters will bring their "A" game next year.
