Topic: I loved Nintendo's E3

[Matrix]

I've been lurking for the past month, and I'm surprised to see how many people disapointed by Nintendo's showing. I loved this E3. Nintendo had an awesome show. Never before have I seen so many games that interest me.

Custom Robo looks cool. Star Fox rocks.  Geist is pretty damn interesting. I havn't played the original MGS, so Twin Snakes is in my basket. Samus is sexy. All of Capcoms titles make me drool (Gotcha Force, Killer 7, Resident Evil 4, Viewtiful Joe, P.N. 03). F-Zero is stunning. Wario World looks fun. Kirby Air Ride has Kirby in it, so I'm instantly there. 1080 has been the only snow boarding game for me. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles looks bloody fun. Four Swords was bloody well done for the GBA, so. Mario Kart DD ownz my soul (being a little slower doesn't bother me, either). Never before has Nintendo emptied my wallet so deaply before their games were even released.

And I love the GBA-GC connection. That's right. I love it.

GCN-GBA connectivity looks great and fun.  Four Swords on the Gamecube looks well done, and it gives me the advantage of not having to have four copies in order to enjoy it. I used to think it was a cheap gimick, but after seeing how it's used, I think it'll work for the best (the privacy feature is what I'm talking about). Besides, if you want to play the games so bad, swallow your pride and get a GBA. If you need to have four GBAs, go and buy some cheap ones on Ebay, or borrow some from friends (that's what I'll be doing), and link cables are cheap enough. Regardless, Four Swords will be easier for me friends to play now.

I thought the Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was just a cheap gimick, too, until what I read at Penny Arcade.

I had rage in my heart, unchecked rage when I heard that multiplayer would require people to use GBA's as their controllers - but it's plain now that it couldn't work any other way. Imagine if, every time one of four people needed to screw around in their inventory, the game stopped for everybody else. What's more, this method allows data to be shared with one player that isn't shared with others - like a map, or secret information. It's going to allow for some interesting ideas, where initially I thought it was just brand-mongering. It might also be that, understand, but it isn't just that - not by a long shot.

My only complaint is Tetra's Trackers, but I'm not really all that concerned with it. It'll probably just get thrown in with Four Swords, anyways. Pac-Man is dumb, too. That just means I won't be buying it, though.

So what if there wasn't any big surprises? The fact that there weren't any big Zelda or Mario titles shown wasn't much of a bother either.

Pac-Man is not dumb.  It was fun as heck.  I hope they actually release it even if it is stuck on a disc with some other games.

They should just put it, and any other multiplayer type little doohickeys they come up with, on the next Mario Party or Smash Bros....or anything other party game that's actually a whole game.

A "GBA Connection Collection" would be cool. I'd be willing to pay full price, if there were alot of them.

I agree completely, Matrix.  While I sure as heck don't have the money to buy all of them, all the games at E3 interested me.  I can't judge Tetra's Trackers and Pac-man because I've seen nothing of them, but Pac-man sounds fun.  I've seen videos for all the others, though, and they look very good.
