E3 03: Poor GameCube, or, Ninty Press Conference

Jibberdish was on hand for today's Ninty presser and waddaya know, the Mario factory fails to inspire, again. Sorry George.

You can hype the GameCube’s long overdue connectivity features all you want, but hello, Super Mario Sunshine? Blech! And no bags like last year? And where the eff is Zelda? Not Four Swords Zelda, the next real Zelda game?

At least Iwata-san kept it real. He knows systems aren't moving, neither is first-party software (what there is of it). Still your flashy videos of Pikmin 2, combined with news of Star Wars Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike, developed by Factor 5 and published by LucasArts, and Capcom’s talk of Resident Evil 4 have me all giddy again, especially after this morning’s suprising Sony presser.

Oh, and Shinji Makami said, “Don't pee your pants.”
