Nintendo at E3 – a look back – E3 2008

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!
