Nothing too earth shattering right?
Actually from reading your post, no. Nothing earth shattering at all.

And Zelda isn't appealing either. One needs GBA connectivity, which I don't have, and I will never get.
Only a few things even got my curiosity, and that was MGS, Mario Kart, and RE 4. I heard about Killer 7, but haven't seen any previews yet, so I cannot say.

It doesn't really bother me. Nintendo has so many unaccounted for resources that we know it has a ton of secret games in development. Whether it reveals them now, at Spaceworld (and I think it's safe to assume there will be one this year), or on some randomn day over the next few months, they'll eventually get here all the same.
I'm already looking forward to more than enough GCN titles as is.
My guess is, since so many of these games are supposably entirely original and not part of existing franchises, Nintendo didn't want to show them out of fear of them being ignored in favor of the franchise games like Mario Kart. That, and it wanted the focus to be mostly on the connectivity games.

Did you actually pay attention to the E3 updates from the various video game websites before you made this thread? Or did you just want to bitch for the sheer reason of attention?
If you think Mario Kart was the only good game, then WHAT THE HELL did you find so "big" on Xbox and PS2? I don't remember Sony or Microsoft announcing kart racing games for their systems?
I'm sorry, but if you can honestly say none of the games from the future GC line-up intrest you, throw your GameCube out the window and get a yo-yo.

To me, Nintendo wanted to spend less time blowing people away. They wanted show how they could push connectivity (which was hit and miss depending on who you talk too). They also wanted to show how they are reaching out to 3rd parties and ultimately how they are truly embracing the mature audience. That Geist thing was a suprise, particularily with the aquistion of N-Space. Couple that with recent news of a new development team being formed in Tokoyo I think the overall impression that Nintendo wants people to take away is the reality that they are gearing up for the competition.
I heard somewhere that Gamespy interviewed Miyamoto and he stated that Spaceworld is going to happen this year. This is where the big stuff that EAD and others are working on are going to be revealed I assume. E3 was really about Nintendo shedding their image as a company too set in its ways and dying like Sega was. The more I think about it, the more that comment that EA guy made seems less like hype and more like a warning to Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo is coming out of hybernation and they're pretty damn hungry.

game zero must be unveiled sometime as will other good games as well
they would probably have alot of mts:ts, capcom 5, geist, and probably show more of pikmin 2, prime 2, the new mario game, and the new zelda games
they didnt have it last year since there was no point- they showed all the great stuff at that e3
why would they waste money to hold a show to demonstrate the same titles all over again
Post by: Nintendo Gamecube on May 17, 2003, 06:37:03 AM
The show would've been much more full of surprises then.

Honestly, it looks like N had some really nice exclusives and first/second party stuff. What was expected, here? I'm fairly certain there will be 5-10 GC games that will prove to be yards better than 99% of anything on other consoles. The systems are 2-3 years old now and nobody is likely to be "staggered" by anything. As much as I dislike Microsoft, I will admit knowing Halo2, Half-Life2 and Doom 3 will be in the offing (although we've known that for ages) will probably lead me to purchase the Box, but those games are BEHEMOTHS and exceptions to the rule - GC is far deeper in existing and upcoming quality than either of the other systems.
We naturally dissect everything Nintendo does. I would have loved to see the alleged Mario 128 - but if its wasn't ready to show, I understand. If it looked half-finished, there'd be a thousand whiners on this board about it. I've heard it about Metroid, Wind Waker, Wario World and now I hear it about Starfox. We know how the first two came out, I'm reasonably sure Wario will be a kick in the ass, and when the boys finish polishing Starfox to a spit-shine, we will have another top-drawer title.
Relax, Francis...

Nintendo has announced that they WILL have Spaceworld this year. They probably weren't ready to show their big titles at E3, so they are resurrecting it for at least this year.

Last year you could have easily said “There was a Spaceworld last year, what makes you think there won’t be one this year?”.
Anyway, I do agree Nintendo themselves had a pretty weak showing- I’ve heard MK: Doubel Dash plays really slowly, Kirby’s Air Ride is a less than perfect Mario Kart rip-off, and Pikmin 2 is a straight and forward rehash. We didn’t see the new Mario, we didn’t see Miyamoto’s new franchise, we didn’t really see antyhing we weren’t expecting- all we really got from Nintendo were gimmicky GBA connectivity titles, which I doubt will sell well at all. There were a ton of great 3rd-party games show, though- Prince of Persia I’ve heard was a surprise hit, F-Zero is great, Rebel Strike is awesome, Geist has a greast new concept- if Nintendo had matched that showing, this would’ve truly been a memorable E3. At least we still have a crapload of great games coming.

My opinion:
I am looking forward to Mario Kart dash. I hope it's not as slow as some people say it is.
That Tales of SYmphony or something looks cool. I just hope it doesnt play like Kingdom Hearts.
As far as the GBA-GC connectivity is concerned, I dont like the GBA, nor do I want one. So I guess that limits me out from the GBA-GC games for sure. What I think would be cool is if they maybe release half of the SNES collection onto one gamecube disc. I'd much rather play that, then to harass 3 other friends to come over to my house and play Zelda with me.
