The worst part of Nintendo’s E3 conference

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. right, so, what the fuck is the point of this post again?

2. Cammy was weird and freaky, that's the point.

3. Cammy was totally hip to the jive. I wish my mom was as cool as her.

4. Dear God, tylor, we've put up several "meaningful" posts and articles today. We didn't, however, put that stick up your ass.

   Given how disappointed people are with E3 thus far, I thought some comic relief was in order, but apparently, you've either not seen Order of the Phoenix, not seen Nintendo's conference or are, in fact, related to Cammie Dunaway.

   Stop being such a tool.

5. I thought she pretty much sucked in every way possible.

6. She's there to appeal to the Moms and Dads and the younger. Not the hardcore or otaku, who are mainly the people who are part of the videogame press or frequent sites like Infendo.

   In my opinion, at E3 Nintendo was more concerned with the mainstream press and media. This is what the Moms and Pops and families will see – the evening news and entertainment shows. The casual crowd. Cammy is the corporate face of Blue Ocean and the casual market. 99% of the titles that Nintendo showcased reflect that.

7. I personally enjoyed her. I'm not sure if she's the best speaker, but she entertained me and came off as a nice, genuine mother-figure.

   And yes, she is the Camminator. I think that works well. 🙂

8. She was awful. Very forced, unnatural manner, and her attempts at humour were cringeworthy.

   This post made me raise a smile, nice one Derek.

9. she seriously was SOOO annoying, reggie should have done the whole thing….

10. i Thought i was the only one who was disgusted with that fake smile 😀

11. She definitely stood out as a person who had never ever done any public speaking before.
    The way she explained the plans, the games, everything, was done in a way that really should have been much better.
    She had "empty happiness" in her – keeping that positive attitude when she knew people weren't really interested in what she was saying.

    Sure, I see that she wanted to take the stage for the first time, which provides Nintendo with the answer: don't let her take the stage again.
    Leave it all to Reggie, who's got the experience necessary for speaking publicly.

12. For that matter I found pretty much everyone outside of the normal Nintendo guys (Reggie, Shiggy, etc.) to look extremely forced. That stupid skit at the end, I seriously don't think I've ever seen any group of people doing their hardest to pretend like they were having fun. Simply awful.

13. whos the lady on the right

14. Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter 5, John.

15. The worst part of Nintendo's E3 conference is that there were no games.

    That was easy.

16. What I thought was the worst was her first attempt at throwing the disc in Wii Sports Resort.

    Shouldn't anyone demoing a game at E3…have like a good understanding of how to play it?

17. Wrist Breaker. WRRRRRRRIST BREAKERRRRR!!!1

18. She was IMO the worst part of their press conference

19. I didn't mind her, but her attempts at humour did make me cringe. I did laugh when she was introducing Iwata and she said "please welcome me in joining", however.

20. I'm hardcore I only care about people who actually make games and the people who pay them! LOL

21. She was very corporate, but the worst thing, easily, was four people on a huge stage playing Wii Music with extremely fake exuberance.

22. How come nobody likes harry potter around here?
