Nintendo at E3 – a look back – E3 2004

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.
