So when we put [Digital Events] together, we do have a strong sense for what are the games that are going to do exceptionally well. We also learn along the way what things maybe aren’t as clear as we want them to be, and that’s where we put added focus during the show.
And so, for example, Metroid Prime: Federation Force, we knew it was a tough concept, right? It’s a game taking place in the Metroid Prime environment, but there’s no Samus, and the gameplay is different, so how do we communicate that? And we tried hard to do that in the Digital Event. We’re hearing that maybe it wasn’t as clearly communicated, so we’re spending time on it during Treehouse Live.
Again, that’s one of the benefits we have in just the overall approach we take for E3. It’s just not a press conference then come play our games. We look for a range of opportunities to help people understand what’s magical about our content, because we know once we get a controller in your hands, you’re going to have a wonderful experience. And so, we’re doing that now, and what’s interesting is that I’m now hearing that the reaction to Blast Ball has been quite fabulous. So, things are good.

Now this is just insulting. Reggie thinks we're too stupid to understand the game concepts when they're very simple games to begin with. He's the one that's missing the point of the outrage. It sure as hell isn't that we don't understand the games, it's that after all this time waiting for a Metroid game this is the garbage we're given. I'm not sure if he's being this dense on purpose or he really doesn't realise why people are angry at Nintendo, whatever the case this is just plain insulting.
