Nintendo at E3 – a look back – E3 2005

There’s no question that E3 2005 had some memorable Nintendo moments. Satoru Iwata opened up the conference with a hilarious dig at Reggie, talking “smack” at the executive and teased: “So Reggie, I have a question for you: who’s your daddy?”

The “Revolution”, later becoming Wii, was definitely the highlight of the conference. Iwata came out and showed the hardware for the first time, shared various details (including the Virtual Console announcement), confirmed a couple of games like Smash Bros., and more.

There were other moments as well – Shigeru Miyamoto’s weirdness during the Nintendogs segment and the third trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, for instance.
