Iwata: our E3 conf could have been better

Nintendo highlight at E3 this year?
We couldn't agree more with the latest statement from Nintendo's president.

During a first quarter results briefing, Nintendo's Satoru Iwata stated that the company's E3 conference this year was not really what it could have been.
"Honestly speaking, none of us at Nintendo thought that our presentation at E3 was as good as it could have been.

It is apparent that we could not fully convey the charm of our products.

In the past, Wii Sports and Wii Fit were naturally able to convey their appeal on stage since it was something no one had ever seen or imagined before. People seemed to capture the appeal of Wii Sports instantly and although there was some initial confusion with Wii Fit, its appeal did get through to the audience afterwards

This year, however, with the New Super Mario Bros Wii, four people lined up with Wii remotes was not a scene that no one had ever seen.
I fully agree! And that portable heartbeat meter wasn't all too impressive either!

Don't despair, however, as he promises better stuff next year:
"We strongly feel that we need to look into finding a better way to demonstrate the products' appeal better at E3,"
Seeing as it could hardly get any worse, I'm sure Nintendo will do a much better job next year!
