It’s widely known that there was discontentment from Nintendo fans after yesterdays E3 press conference in which three titles single-handedly ensured frustrated words from the purported ‘hardcore’ gamers out there.
Though Animal Crossing, Wii Music and Wii Sports 2 looked fantastic, they’re certainly targeted to appeal and cater to ‘casual gamers’ rather than the ‘hardcore’, though Reggie Fils Aimes doesn’t believe so.
“How could you feel left out? The Animal Crossing that we’ve been hearing about that people wanted,” he said. “Fully connected to the Internet, go to other people’s towns. Plus as I said, Grand Theft Auto on the DS. How do you feel left out with those types of announcements?

@ adrian – precisely the reason why the majority felt ‘let down’.
