Nintendo came back from a somewhat lackluster E3 performance in 2003 with a pretty great showing in 2004.

Nintendo’s E3 2004 media briefing was led by the introduction of the DS. The system was shown off for the first time, and a couple of games were confirmed – Super Mario 64 DS and Metroid Prime: Hunters. Zelda: Twilight Princess also made its debut and saw one of the most-memorable video game unveils in the company’s history thanks to the crowd reaction.

Other moments from the conference include Reggie’s first appearance, Iwata’s Wii tease, and new trailers for games such as Metroid Prime 2, Star Fox Assault, and Resident Evil 4. In the end, though, Nintendo’s E3 2004 appearance will always be remembered for the Zelda and DS announcements.


Below is the debut trailer for Disney’s Planes-based video game. Will it be of low-quality, which is what most expect? Or will Disney surprise us?

Unfortunately, there isn’t much footage from Nintendo’s E3 2002 conference. That leads to more trailers rather than content directly from the briefing. We did end up with one of the first clips from F-Zero GX, as well as new looks at titles such as Super Mario Sunshine and Zelda: The Wind Waker.


E3 2003 was certainly more exciting from the perspective of available footage, but it is sort of known as one of Nintendo’s duds. Two big aspects were highlighted during the conference: GameCube to Game Boy Advance connectivity and partnerships. Zelda: Four Swords and Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes were arguably the two biggest announcements. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles was made public as well. Shigeru Miyamoto popped up on stage to reveal that he was working on a Pac-Man title for the GameCube… which was kind of Nintendo’s main announcement for the show.

Check back tomorrow as we take a look at Nintendo’s E3 2004 conference, featuring the unveil of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
