"Wii motion Plus" *baby starts crying*
The awkward Cough sold it for me.
It was funny asf.
Wasn't that edited in?

Wii motion plus!
I really like how he announces it expecting a reaction. Then we hear a baby crying and then he just says *WII MOTION PLUS*
Sony:GIANT ENEMY CRAB
Nintendo:WII MUSIC
Xbox:ALWAYS ONLINE
Ubisoft: DOODLY DOODLY DOODLY DOO
oh yeah bruh oh dude that's so cool dude oh yeah bruh oh dude. Everyone spoke
Ike this back then.
Pornhub e3?
2008 was not the best year...
Sony : Riiiiddggee Racer, remember that?
"Or kind of adorable, like Bill Trinen"
I laugh so hard at that part because it's true and I don't know why lmao
miyamoto is also pretty adorable
He's right
@@icecoldnut5152 iwata was kind of adorable too when he would deliver charming dialogue in Nintendo directs while sometimes doing completely unrelated comedic stuff like having charming interactions with Nintendo employees or making funny remarks and comments
What's crazy is that the Wii had a pretty great start as far as core games go. The first year and a half saw Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Brawl, Mario Kart, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Excite Truck, and Mario Strikers Charged... and then all that momentum just slammed into E3 2008 like a brick wall.
And you know what really gets me? The fact that they didn't even mention Wario Land: Shake It, a game that came out _literally later that month._
What about Return To Dreamland?
Return to Dreamland came out in 2011.
Poor Shake It. Forgotten even by Nintendo themselves.

Those are Switch games and not Wii games that cane out in 2017-2018
When Reggy waits for applause and a baby starts crying, I started laughing my butt off.
One point I wish I'd made to really drive this home:
Like I said in the video, imagine what it would be like if this E3 there was almost nothing new announced for Switch, despite being in its second year much like the Wii was in 2008. But also remember that back then, Nintendo Directs didn't exist. 95% of Nintendo's announcements were made during E3 and the rest of the year was mostly quiet. When Animal Crossing was the only "traditional" game they had to announce, that really was it for the foreseeable future. Suffice it to say, that was the year I discovered the Xbox 360.
Arlo Nice Vid
Arlo love me
Tell Nintendo the Switch needs a Trophy/Achievement System reveal for e3 this year.
Seriously, some of us have been wanting that for a long time! It's not so much about virtual trinkets as it is the way achievements can open up games in new ways and provide gameplay possibilities we might not have considered or tried.
The difference is that they did not need to have a good E3 in 2008, because they dominated everything, had incredible markedshare, third parties.
The situation today is very different. Nintendo barely has any markedshare, few big third parties, a console that is graphicaly inferior to the competition.
I just hope a new Animal Crossing is announced at all. Even if it would be the only game I want it!
It was so bad they fired that woman shortly after
Real1Gaming *I wonder why...*
Real1Gaming you sure?
Wait, they did?
Real1Gaming really?
Source or it didn't happen
I love the timing on that Bill clip. When Arlo said he was kinda adorable, Bill looked at the camera like "wait what?"
6:39
"Hey Arlo"
"Yooyoyoyooo Arlooo"
"Yooooo"
"Heeeeey"
"HEY ARLO"
_"WHAT IS IT"_
"Let me edit a vid and I'll leave you alone"
_"FINE"_
*10/10*
SaraBLQ The one before it was much funnier and better
Probably the best that I was too young to want to watch E3 at the time
Ditto.
I've only properly started watching E3 over the past couple of years. Thanks god I never witnessed the 2008 one.
lmao same
I was old enough. Dammit why was I old enough!?!
I was 21 back then so unfortunately for me... I watched it
I read Nintendo Life's live text commentary on this event. It sounded like something from a book about an apocalypse.
I remember making a banger of a remix of the Animal Crossing theme with Wii Music as a kid. If you actually deviate from the recommended notes a bit in Wii Music you can make interesting stuff.
Like your profile pic where’s it from
good luck trying to make the notes sound like a cacophony, though...
Chronicle studios It's Sonia Strumm from the Mega Man Star Force series
Pedro Verri thanks dipper pines
Yay! I'm not the only one that liked megaman star force:)
Excuse you, Wii Sports Resort is a treasure
Nicholas Rogers I love Frisbee Dog
RobJuanDeLaNooch you’re right. Wii music was the only REAL announcement
*F R I S B E E D O G F T W*
Resort sold more copies than 95% of Nintendo's hardcore games...
Nicholas Rogers That freaking plane game..
Could never find that last i...
Nintendo: Our 2008 E3 was bold and brash.
Nintendo fans: More like belongs in the trash!
3:30 Did... did they bring in *Tommy Wiseau* for E3?
Dark Bishop J Yeah he looks kinda different but he’s not fooling anyone
Dark Bishop J he was not at that e3, it's not true! It's bs! He was not at that e3! He did not! Oh, hi Dark
Dark Bishop J haHA very funny anyways how's your sex Life
Nintendo's had some poopers in the past, but no matter what, I don't think they'll ever outdo
*FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE U.S. DOLLARS*
*IT'S RIDGE RACER! RRIIIDGE RACEERRR!*
*SO THERE'S THIS GIANT ENEMY CRAB*
aware me please?
Lmao riiiiiiiiidge racerrrrr
Hit its weak point for massive damage.
PS3 HAS NO GAEMS
Brandon Andersen we can also talk about the xbox one presentation.
Like... How many times they said "TV""during that conference? Also, remember that Microsoft said that, if you wanted to play offline, better buy an Xbox 360 instead of the Xbox One.
Or we can go back to when Nintendo presented "the new controller".
4:23 a smoothly animated hand? Did I accidentally click on a RelaxAlax Video?
Tadda - Oh, yeah!
Hey that's me!
RelaxAlax WHERE DID YOU JUST COME FROM
Tadda HE CAME FROM HIS HOUSE PROBABLY I'D ASSUME THE TH-camR WHO DOES A LOT OF NINTENDO STUFF ALSO WATCHES OTHER TH-camRS WHO DO NINTENDO STUFF
RelaxAlax you da best
Don’t forget about E3 2014. That was the one of the best E3 shows Nintendo has had but people gloss over it because they just pretend Nintendo didn’t do anything good in the Wii U era.
The Fourth Edge True they always pretend
It's actually shocking that I watched E3 every year when this was my first...
You say 2008 E3 was horrifying. I say 2015 E3 was the most devestating one. They had a puppet show that most people hated, and Iwata said they will try to do better next time. And he dies few months later. The devestating part is not the puppet show, it was the last comments he got that were mostly people hating the puppet show because he couldn't go on stage and show he was sick.
Most people hated the puppet show? I was unaware, I thought it was the opposite. Dang.
xthelegend89 I think it would have been taken a lot better if it had been used, say, last E3 presentation. I like to think it’s because Nintendo was in a bad spot and people wanted Nintendo to start being more “mature”.
I liked e3 2015...
The puppets were cool
Jesus Christ I do not remember saying any of this in my old channel....
Let’s hope E3 2018 is better than last years, if that’s even possible
Tracerino that will be automatically possible because of Smash
For me at least
As long as they include an Adventure mode/Subspace Emissary, then it will be.
they need to have some ambitious stuff and no port announcements and there already set tbh. the e3 2017 isn't as godlike as people think tbh. it was just the first good e3 presentation we had from Nintendo in a long time.
Even if they just show gameplay footage and awesome character reveals I will be more hyped than I was after last year's E3. Just me.
NintendoGamerChris For Smash all I want is Waluigi and for Greninja to be in this one as well (which I’m sure they aren’t gonna remove him but it’s always possible)
I guess I'm in the vast minority, because I quite enjoyed Wii Music, especially with my daughters. It really wasn't THAT bad a game experience...the presentation just made it out to be so. lol...
As for looking forward to this E3...man, am I excited! I even saved up half of my vacation time this year, and am taking June 10 - June 15 off to just sit back...relax...and bask in all the Nintendo (and occasionally other companies) goodness. I plan on starting with the Splatoon tourney semifinals...then moving to the E3 Showcase/Direct/Presentation...then having Treehouse on every day from start to finish. Since Nintendo is once again saying that this E3 is going to be filled with soon to be released (IE 2018) games, its going to be one rocking E3 for Nintendo fans, I'm pretty sure. Although I fully expect some 2019 smatterings in the presentation (like Metroid Prime 4, which I think will be 2019). It is truly a glorious time to be a Nintendo fan, as the company seems to be firing on ALL imaginative cylinders when it comes to the games they are putting out. Heck, I'm even excited for Mario Tennis Aces, as it looks like a true comeback of the full, story-mode driven Mario Tennis games...as well as full online competition and tournaments! Nintendo is aliiiiiiive once more!
I adored Wii Music as a kid! Come to think of it... it was kind of my introduction to the idea of arrangement and what can be done with it...
I'm with you, I quite enjoyed Wii Music. I just liked playing songs with completely inappropriate instruments and seeing what happens. It was more of a novelty for me though, as I was a long way from having a kid. I also didn't start watching E3 until like the next year, so I missed this titanic cringe-fest.
lmao Arlo just gave you a like
Yup...made me smile to see that. :D Love Arlo and everything he puts out. :)
I didn't even know Wii Music existed until now. I didn't watch that E3 presentation either. I was having fun playing Zelda Skyward Sword and Mario Galaxy.
I like to call that dark age "The Motion Gaming Years". I shudder thinking back.
We need more motion controls.
PsychokinRazalon good ones like Splatoon and Metroid Prime 3? Yes please
PsychokinRazalon GOOD motion controls? ABSOLUTELY. I feel the PS4 controller motion capabilities and the touch pad are severely underutilized
I think the early stages didn't realize that motion/gyro controls should be complimentary not supplementary.
Compare Star Fox Zero to Spaltoon.
I rest my case.
Motion gaming can be great, but it’s not enough to cary a console.
This was a lot of fun to be a part of! Hope you guys enjoy my goofy little inclusions. If Arlo's mad enough to let me edit for him again, let me know if there's something I could improve on or do more!!
*two likes*
Amazing editing Farfetch'd! I like the way you made the hands a little 'RelaxAlax' style!
Yeah, I'd be happy to see you edit more for Arlo
Farfetch'd loved the editing in this, I even exhaled through my nostrils in what I could only assume was laughter. 😘👌
Fantastic point, Austin! I'll be sure to keep that in mind. But thank you for the kind words, everyone :)
You and Farfetch'd were on POINT in this video. The subtle humour that you both brought really complemented the wonderful horror of the presentation. Well done!
Peter Herring thank you!!
WII MOTION PLUS!!

WII MOTION PLUS!!!
People say motion controls were a fad, but I always disagreed. The controls weren’t a fad, but game developers treated it like a fad. The God of War 3 director for example said he wasn’t interested in innovating. It didn’t help matters that PS move was an expensive accessory, and Kinect was buggy prototype. So it was kind of left to Nintendo to do the innovations. But instead of innovating, they did little to nothing, and just let Wii make money with the few exclusives it had. They barely made games for the Wii, because they didn’t need to, and thus motion controls suffered from the lazy developers who considered it a fad. It’s only now that motion controls are making a comeback with gyro aim.
The Happy Chatter exactly
It will come back with the VR... It will take some more time but motion control will become mainstream someday
OMG HAHAHAHAH ARLOOOOOOO, I ALMOST DIED @ 7:19
The clasic stranger coughing and babby crying bit. (Wipe tear from face) well played my friend... well played 😆
It's called Wiimotion plus
*Baby cries in background*
😂
To be fair, I think a lot of people would enjoy a 30 minute presentation on Animal Crossing Switch.
that is true.
All Usernames Taken I think everyone would
No
Generic reply stating that this comment is very accurate because a switch animal crossing direct just happened
👏👏👏 you predicted the animal crossing direct almost 2 years before it released.
I thought we all agreed to never talk about this ever again.
Can we all agree that 2014's Robot Chicken E3 was one of the best E3 segments ever?
Wow, I’m so glad that I didn’t watch E3 back in 2008. Was too much of a casual gamer to care back then. But boy am I glad Nintendo stepped up their game with presentations over the years!
thats histarical they apeal to casual gamers and casual gamers are to casual to watch
Peter Eberhard that really is ironic, isn’t it? Perhaps not the best market to tap into, but at least now they’re trying to appeal more to the “hardcore” gamers or whatever you want to call them
How to call "Core Gamers"? "The Ones that hate everything by default" seems pretty appropiate.
My first E3 was 2011, which was from what I remember pretty good.
I don't remember watching 2012, but I checked the website a lot.
2013 was their first video presentation, so I watched it after the fact.
2014 and onward was when I started watching the entire presentations.
I'm so glad I didn't watch E3 in 2008.
But then again, I was like 6, so it's not like I would've been interested anyway.
Why would the core games hate everything by default? That doesn't have sense
if you spliced in a clip of tommy whisou laughing during the snowboarding bit i honestly doubt anyone would have been able to tell the difference
Man, I don't remember 2008 being that bad because for some reason, I was thinking that this was the E3 that New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Metroid: Other M were revealed.
But yeah, that was pretty bad.
That was E3 2009
Didn't those titles get reveal at 2009?🤔
I'd love it if Sakurai just threw in the off-tempo Wii Music Mario Theme performance into Smash for Switch.
Was the crying baby actually in the conference
Tellotube I wish
We present you... *Wii Motion Plus*
_Baby starts crying_
@@marcossegon5433 LMAO!!
Honestly as bad as E3 2008 was, E3 2015 was a lot more insulting. At least 2008 didn't see hopes and dreams be turned into cruel punishments.
I sort of want you to do commentary like that on EVERY Nintendo E3 now.
Keanu Reeves was the first celebrity that wasn't super cringy when they got on stage and started talking about the game.
Also
Sales talk: *exists*
Arlo: all I feel is pain inside
This was it, the moment when my heart broke, when I knew there was not going to be a new Starfox, F-Zero, Metroid, Golden Sun, DK..... ANYTHING! I ALMOST went to get an XBOX 360 after this presentation, weirdly enough, I bought Okami like a couple of weeks after this and it renewed my hope a little bit. Next year was amazing, even though some of the games ended up being letdowns like Metroid and Golden Sun to a certain degree (Now THAT'S a game series I want to see concluded). All in all, going "online event" was the best thing they could do, all of them have been pretty good save for the BotW one, but at least the game ended up amazing. (I also think 2013's presentation was pretty lackluster IIRC).
Woops, I meant 2012
You forgot to say there were also dumbing down all their IPs to make them more accesible to their casual audience.
One of your best videos hands down, loved it. Keep up the good work.
Argo this is one of the best ones you have done yet. Great topic and source material.
This can't happen again. People forget, but this was during the 2-year period when E3 was downsized. In 2007, all three companies held mediocre stage shows and interest was way down. In 2008, Nintendo gave up on E3. They literally weren't trying. And we know this because a few months later, in September, then had their own little event where they made much bigger announcements, including the DSi. They held all the important stuff back from E3 because the event was no longer worth it. This is why, in spite of being one of the worst E3 conferences of all time, it's also the most forgivable. Sony in 2006 and Microsoft in 2010 were in no such situation. They just plain failed. In fact, Microsoft put on a stage show in 2010 that made basically every single mistake Nintendo had two years prior.
They've had a couple of snoozers since, but Nintendo never put on a show this flat-out bad when E3 mattered, and as long as it does, they will never do so again. So rest easy. In fact, if you want to consult the past for a hint of the future, consider this. Nintendo at E3 2006? Amazing. 2010? Amazing? 2014? Amazing. 2018? Well, we'll see. But I think I know where this is headed.
This. People don't realize this, but a big part of why Nintendo failed at E3 08 was because E3 in general was off that year. It was scaled back and focused more on gaming as a business rather than gaming as a medium. That's a big reason why Nintendo had a bad showing, there just wasn't much interest in E3 at the time. This is evident the very next year, when Nintendo presented a boring, but much bigger and more balanced presentation in 2009 when E3 reverted back to its original format.
Sony isn't even going anymore...e3 has lost it's luster straight up
Geez get off nintendos nut will ya? Great company, yeah but fallible? Yes, especially during the end of the Wii and the whole Wii u Era. This era was the company at its worst, tonedeaf, only marketing to young kids and non gamers and alienating the fanbase that fueled them during the SNES and N64 days, no wonder we all turned to the Ps2/3 and Xbox 360s they where the logical conclusion if you grew up on nintendo sadly because nintendo focused thier efforts on kids again instead of trying to cater to kids and keep thier old audiences as well.
I love Nintendo and bought every console. But sometimes I wished that Nintendo would realize that all we care about are good games. No we don't care about all the different ways you can play the game. Yeah sure that's nice that you offer that new HD rumble okay sure. But all I truly want are great games.
If what we got were just "great games", then Nintendo wouldn't be Nintendo anymore. Something I really admire about the company is that, by adding in new concepts to play, they strive to make gameplay experiences to always be something different than what you get on other platforms. Their philosophy is to always keep up with their business in a way that prevents things from becoming stale.
That being said, while the Wii was certainly a nice era (especially in the beginning), their focus was indeed much more so on "new concepts" rather than delivering on what gamers wanted. Today, the Nintendo Switch offers so many options to play, but thankfully Nintendo does show that what they're really focusing on are on delivering products that will make getting the platform a rewarding experience for the player; not exactly because you can play at home or on the go as you please or because you can separate your controllers for multi-playing, but because the games really are showing quality standards and the options the Switch offers to play those games do cater to how you want to go about your gameplay experience.
All in all, how they are doing things now is much different (and thankfully much better) than how they did a decade ago.
Drewsefer89 To be honest... I kinda think it should be a balance. Let me explain...
I think Nintendo should continue to make casual games and experiments like Labo or the Wii balance board BUT those games should not be the ONLY thing that they should focus. That was a big issue during the second half of the Wii era when Nintendo basically went only for the casuals (with this E3 being a perfect example of that).
Rebelshifter Nintendo was always Nintendo since the NES you know...
A lot of people don't want a system that reinvents the way games are played. There are million who just want to sit on a couch with a controller with two analog sticks, two triggers, two shoulder buttons and four face buttons. I hate motion controls even after playing the 'good' wii games. The Switch was a good idea because it changed where you could play, but not really how you play. It was a concept with a good practical idea.
Kazoorion I never said Nintendo wasn't Nintendo before the Wii. As a matter of fact, they managed to reinvent the video game industry with the NES, and, by that, save it from the doom that the video game crash of '83 cast upon it. After that, the SNES allowed to nurture the industry with much more creativity, and while the N64 and GameCube didn't triumph in their day over their competitors, they always brought concepts that reinvented things in one way or another. Not to mention, many of their games are highly regarded classics that, in many cases, influenced game design pretty much forever.
The reason why the Wii was such a poster child of "Nintendo being Nintendo" was because the impact of its revolution (no pun intended) reached out to way more than what they anticipated (even with their blue ocean in mind), which is why, for better or for worse, things got a bit out of hand in the second half of its era, and, to a larger extent, influenced the philosophy of their following home platform.
really loved the editing in this one
this video is so perfectly edited. good job!
Oh man this is some awesome content! Your editing and commenting makes this video so so entertaining! :)
I'm surprised you didn't slip in a Tommy Wisaeu during that Shaun White laughing segment
1234 Switch! Hype :D
Great video! You and Farfetch'd work really well together!
God I still remember, The only thing that made me happy was City Folk.
An arlo video with only 17 views?
*makes butternut squash joke*
and E3 2018 happened. :/
I'm starting to assume years that end with 8 are cursed for Nintendo.
At least 2019 was 100x better
Always nice to come from from a long day and watch some Arlo
Great video man! Never thought somebody would make a video on this in 2018...
7:19 That baby though.
Watch Nintendo reveals 3 4 Switch and is the only thing they talk about the whole E3. You jinxed it ARLO lol :)
ItzAnthony knowing Nintendo, this is possible.
alfasilverblade lol XD
Knowing Nintendo, this won't happen because we think it will happen. But now it will happen, because we think it won't. But now that we think it will, it won't. But... I'm done.
At least they would reveal animal crossing too and honestly that would make me extremely happy
Electric Gaming yup just like ARLO says. When you think you got Nintendo down, they'll do something wayyyy different! XD
7:19 “It’s called Wii MotionPlus.”
*crying baby and coughing in the background*
“WII MOTIONPLUS.”
10:28 don't forget the Scott the Wozs. They are a very small species but they are very much known and love that stuff. Such a majestic creature
E3 2008 brought us Animal Crossing: City Folk, so I can’t hate it entirely. Yet… that drumming…
Meh... that game was basicly just a port of Wild World which was very lame.
Kazoorion I always thought it added enough unique features to differentiate itself from Wild World, though there are a glut of similarities, admittedly
As a budding musician, I was actually extremely excited for Wii Music when I saw it at E3. I couldn't wait to change up the songs with different instruments and even play the drums for real like they showed, especially since I was a drummer.
(And it didn't disappoint on that front either; in fact, it is literally my most played game on my Wii, with I believe ~180 hours logged.)
They definitely could have presented it better, but even today, they nailed the presentation of the Labo (another thing aimed more at kids but could be enjoyed by anyone who was willing to be creative), and there were still many gamers who rolled their eyes and laughed at it.
Watching this I felt dread and boardroom from the presentation, your commentary really brought life to the footage
Another quality product by Arlo. Thank you.
I still remember watching this conference 10 years ago, filled with hype, I even called up my best friend to watch it with me. When it was over, we were basically destroyed. Weeks of building up hype, smashed. It was this exact moment when I finally stopped being overhyped before E3.
This is the reason Nintendo doesn't do conferences anymore lol. Long live Directs!
This was my last E3 before I graduated College it was so painful my brother slept through it I was thinking about waking him up but I was wait for a big annocment and it never happened.
1:54 Iwata looked like such a badass the way he revealed the Wii .
You can hear a baby crying when Reggie says “Wii Motion Plus” and waits for applause.
Pretty sure Arlo edited that in. Thought it was real for a sec though
Yeah, you need to be 18 to go to e3
1-2-3-4 Switch... water came out the nose...
3:30 Hey look! It’s Tommy Wiseau!
My favorite moment was "I want to show you guys something a little more my speed!" "You're right Reggie, this is more your speed." "Y'know, guys like power stuff."LMAO!
Oof, this was a year alright. I think it was actually the first time I was able to watch an E3 conference live online (there weren't TV broadcasts here in Australia) and...well, yeah. I'm so glad we've moved on from this type of presentation (and content haha). Thanks for the hilarious trip down memory lane Arlo! =D
2008: Animal Crossing!?!? that games for house wifes, nintendo sucks.
2018: Nintendo wheres animal crossing??
This is seriously your funniest video
This was a lot funnier than usual (not that you're not perfect already *cough*), but I really liked how different this felt. Keep up I the good work!
I really wish Arlo did some more retrospectives like this.
7:48 Wait so... *Paper Mario Colour Splash!* I knew it!
No please I dont wanna relive this
Oh hey, someone else knows about Supersonic Rocketship!
My boy Farfetched represent! Fantastic editing as always!
Love how this video was in my suggested videos but not in my subscription tab.
I’m so glad Nintendo has changed. There’s nothing more disappointing than a lackluster E3, cause you have to wait an entire year for another one! See you at the big show...
Peter Haywood Nintendo has got a lot to go with this year. I'm excited! I like the way they can surprise
This is the edgy-est Arlo video I've seen
You know “edgiest” is a word right?
you always make me laugh and I love your writing style and choice of words
When you started describing the III moment I noticed that my mouth was open and I was starting to zone off waiting for the better stuff.
You read me like a freaking book
You seem to think E3 is for the consumers? No. It is a trade show. It's whole purpose is for the companies to make deals with big store chains like walmart and toys r us and buy shelf space in stores, to display their products. They opened up E3 to the public back in the day for publicity and it never went back to being a closed trade show like other trade shows (see mining, and other industrial trade shows). Trade shows are meant for the industry, a place where nintendo can make deals with store chains, pay big money for so much shelf space for their products. That's why only those with a press pass could get in to the trade shows for years, and then people started abusing what constitutes a journalist- anyone with a blog on the internet, which open the floodgates for regular people getting access to the shows. Finally the trade shows started allowing all the public to come in and see everything they were selling. The sales talk is for the people the trade show is meant for- not the consumer, the people they are trying to sell millions of units to and rent display space from game stop, walmart and other stores. If they do a good pitch, they can sucker in a department store to buy millions of wii fit balance boards and store them in their warehouses because they think it's going to be a hit.
Arlo loves basketball confirmed. This is amazing
Miyamoto is the reason why people wanna see Nintendo's E3 presentation. He'll come on stage and hold an item from the game they'll announce.
This was a hell of a nostalgic trip....one that I kinda wish I'd forget actually. Hey Arlo. With E3 season right around the corner, I was wondering if you could do something similar to the past E3's that Nintendo has done.
I low key loved Wii Music.
Nintentohtori blinded by nostalgia
What? I had blast playing it when it came out. I knew it was pretty basic, bit unresponsive rhythm game.
this almost sounds like a pun
Nintentohtori same
+*insert name here*
*Loved*
Not *Love*
I like the music choices xD funny video
Farfetch'd Reviews is honestly one of the wittiest and best editors you've had.
i like this video. i don't see too many videos looking back at events like this in gaming history.
That footage was the worst and the best thing at the same time I have ever seen.
I feel old when when I look at the wii menu
I think E3s are just a place where video game studios and companies came to compete in a friendly game called *"Who can be the cringiest and get to be talked about on the internet and possibly be turned into a short lived meme"*
Thank you Arlo for taking us down this beautifully hellish memory road.
If the pokemon rumors are true then this years will be the worst for me.
I'll be honest, the decade of Wii-Wii U is the most disappointing era of Nintendo for me. If it wasn't gimmicky motion controls and casual pandering, it was a baffling console that didn't sell. I'm glad we're past those dark times.
Same. Those decades made me stop buying thier new games and buying some of the old masterpieces they did that I missed on the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube.
There were still plenty of great games and the 3DS is ,right now, is the greatest portable games console ever.
But sadly some of their games like Super Mario Land, Paper Mario Sticker Star, Federation Force, Smash 3DS and the entire Pokemon games on that console (except the hoenn remakes) were really mediocre, the Gameboy Advance and even the DS has way better games like Wario Land 4 and Explorers of Sky respectively.
To me, the first years of the Wii was really good with the realize of Zelda Twilight, Princess, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Prime 3 Corruption etc. But all these games were in development long before Nintendo realized how profitable the Wii would become. They definitely dropped the ball when they started pandering the people who only brought the system for Wii Sports and dumbing down all their IPs for those people....
The N64 was worse
3:29 HOLYSH*T!!! I didn't know nintendo hired Tommy Wiseau for a presentation
Watching bits of the presentation feels like going to a field trip and hearing a long boring presentation that won't matter and is forgetful the next day
