TalkBack / RE:EDITORIALS: Nintendo Shows Up At PAX
« on: August 28, 2006, 09:22:52 PM »
I dont post much anymore, but I did attend PAX and i think this is extremely valid. I also went to e3 and it seemed like everything at PAX was just leftovers : / I actually did not enjoy PAX at all. It was very refreshing to see about 70-80% of the attendees with DS' but as far as the actual event goes, there were just too many people and waits for nearly everything. Even the Super Smash Bros. Melee tournament was frustrating (delays delays, overcrowded, people changing settings before matches).
Last year at PAX they at least had Twilight Princess at the show and it was pretty awesome! It's not very hard for Nintendo to pack up their showcased Wiis (or modified GameCube hardware, whatever it was at E3 06) but for some reason, the 20 minute travel just seems too hard for them I guess.
Sad times, without the biggest thing in the game industry to be absent. Sad times.
