Slog - Comments on E3 Lite, Day Two http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/e3_lite_day_two Nintendo didn't trot out any tired, rehash games at their Electronic Entertainment Expo press conference today. That should be good news -- enough of the old Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong guard. Let's try something new with the Wii already. But then this happened: Thanks to screwattack.com for the video, titled on their site "The Worst Moment in Nintendo History." And sure enough, Wii Music's public debut landed this morning with a poopy squish. Wii Music is described as a music game designed for people who don't like challenge.

Besides, My Sims already did "cute" Sims on the Wii - and people liked them.

Rayman always rocks - too bad I'm not getting the balance board.

Still, overall, I'm still bored by E3 this year ...

I'm already bored with Brawl and Mario Kart, and the only game I play anymore is Guitar Hero 3. There isn't anything coming out that's appealing to me either. Looks like I might be taking advantage of that PS3 "price drop" (even though it's losing the backward compatibility).

E3 fucking sucks this year.

It's just too bad they're inked to a deal with Sony.

I still have tons of good 64 games to get through. I've expanded my N64 and GameCube libraries tenfold since people started dumping them off on Ebay.
