D+PAD – Nintendo E3 Press Conference

Nintendo has long been criticised for its disregard of core gamers in the recent past, where the company’s efforts have instead been subsidised in focusing on their ever-expanding casual market. Core gamers wanted something to shout about again, and Nintendo duly delivered in the best possible fashion. Reggie Fils-Aime was welcomed to the 2010 E3 stage for the Nintendo press briefing and, briefly putting the memories of past E3 efforts behind him, was keen in immediately putting to rest core gamers’ desires, with the brilliant Shigeru Miyamoto magically appearing onto the stage, for the announcement that all Nintendo fans were waiting for- a return to the land of Hyrule in a brand new Zelda adventure.
