Nintendo at E3 – a look back – E3 2008
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, General Nintendo, Videos, Wii | 0 comments
If you were to ask any Nintendo fan about which E3 conference was Nintendo’s worst, most would probably point to E3 2008.
The briefing was completely devoid of announcements for the hardcore audience, and there was very little news in general.
So what was there? From Nintendo, the company announced Animal Crossing: City Folk, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Music. That’s it.
Arguably the biggest announcement was Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the DS, but no trailer (or screenshots) was shown.
E3 2008 led to several cringe-worthy moments. Cammie Dunaway made her debut and talked about breaking her wrist snowboarding, while Ravi Drums was banging away on virtual drums like a madman.
At least we got a few memes out of the whole thing!

Before there was Star Fox Adventures, Rare was cooking up Dinosaur Planet for the Nintendo 64. A trailer was prepared for the game back in September 2000, but never released. We do, however, have a few screencaps from the video that you can view in the gallery above.
