Perhaps after Nintendo’s upcoming conference in June, people can finally begin to move on from the mess that was their E3 2008 performance. While it would be difficult to argue that Nintendo greatly emphasized on the casual crowd last year, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter’s believes that Nintendo must appease the hardcore this time around.
“Last year, they focused on Wii Music, and this year, they have to focus on the hardcore. It’s been three years since the last Zelda game, and two years since Mario, so they have a lot to work with. Maybe something from the distant past, like Starfox or GoldenEye. Who knows? E3 is clearly the right venue for them to cater to the hardcore, as the entire hardcore fan base is paying attention.”

“Daemon just heard that Swords & Soldiers won’t be out in the U.S. on Monday. Sad.” – IGN’s Twitter
It’s a shame that North America won’t be receiving Swords & Soldiers on Monday, but maybe Nintendo of America will finally add Majora’s Mask to the VC…Right?!
