Yes, Nintendo's E3 press conference was very disappointing for people with unrealistic expectations. They didn't announce Kid Icarus or Mario or Zelda or Fire Emblem or Elite Beat Agents Wii or Kung Fu or any other new "hardcore" game, and furthermore, they failed to mention existing core gamer stuff like the amazing Wario Land: Shake It!. As the old saying goes, when life gives you lemons, hallucinate a new life in which you're given lemonade.
Wired took a little flight of fancy and imagined the kind of Nintendo conference that would satisfy the "hardcore" Nintendo fan. The things that were the focal points of the real conferences get glossed over in favor of Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin. In this version, the good third-party games like MadWorld get their due. We can only imagine, after this version, Miyamoto takes off on his space skateboard and hand-delivers copies of Mario 128 to all the good little girls and boys.
