 | It's been a busy week for game journalists as game publishers show their wares at the video game trade show E3 in Los Angeles. While I didn't go to E3, I watched all the live feeds and read all the press releases, and I have boiled down vast amounts of information in a series of articles. Did Nintendo do what they needed to in order to sell gamers on the upcoming Wii U console? Not so much. Last week I wrote an editorial asking Nintendo to please not screw up, but I feel they sort of did, failing to make a strong case for their new console and failing to wow us with their launch titles. The press has been harsh (including me), so what will Nintendo's next move be? Will they take action and turn things around, or we they go into denial mode and say that the press is wrong and their E3 showing was great? We should find out soon. | |
