OMG! GOLDEN SUN DS O_O.

That's like the only thing i though it was good on Nintendo's conference.

 » WOW

im no wii fan, but the nintendo conference was really good. compared to the microsoft conference nintendo was much more professional. i know not many people are going to understand what im saying but microsofts presentation looked like they threw down a big budget to make a big deal and it seemed fake because they didnt put heart into it. nintendo on the other hand was the opposite, everyone had their script memorized and they did great demos and presentations. good job nintendo i didnt expect this!

I've read your fanboy comments on the other articles, all of them basing MS. Nintendo easily had the worst showing, by far. And go to any site not called QJ, the vast majority agree MS had the best show

I agree with Master, sony and ms both had pretty good conferences, i prefer sony's but that's just me. But nintendo's was kinda weak. Sure mario's great, but is that it?

One of the biggest announcments in nintendo portable history: Golden Sun DS, and QJ has failed to post any thing meaningful about it, makes me laugh really lol
