Nintendo teleurgesteld in eigen E3
Voor geen enkele fan een verrassing, enkel dat Nintendo het durft toe te geven. Dom, stom, raar, achterlijk. Geef het maar een leuke naam, want Nintendo heeft in de persoon van Cammie Dunaway eindelijk toegegeven dat de E3 van hun kant slecht was. Eerder gaf Iwata al aan dat hij het jammer vond dat er geen hardcore games werden gepresenteerd op de E3, maar volgens de baas van het Japanse bedrijf kon dat simpelweg niet. Cammie Dunaway geeft bij deze toe dat de E3 toch wel teleurstellend te noemen was. Ook heeft ze moeten huilen toen ze erachter kwam dat mensen grapjes hebben gemaakt over haar optreden. [QUOTE]VGC: What is your message to people who weren’t happy with Nintendo’s 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 because people were making fun of you at 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’m listening to the fans. I’m championing the things they care about. I’m helping to make sure we bring great games to the market place. I’m genuine, I’m new to gaming I’m not pretending to be more than I am. I’m 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’re 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.[/QUOTE]
