Nintendo's Dunaway Admits Wario Not Promoted Enough at E3

Aug. 19 7:40 AM by Lynxara

Back when I was covering E3, I criticized Nintendo for not promoting Wario Land: Shake It! more aggressively. It wasn't at the press conference and wasn't on the floor. Looks like Nintendo also feels like they made missteps there, as Vice President of Sales and Marketing Cammie Dunaway admits in an interview with gaming stat site VGChartz

VGC: What is your message to people who weren't happy with Nintendo's E3 conference?

CD: I would say the message is we were disappointed with our performance at E3. There were titles like Wario which we think will be really fun titles that we should have show cased [sic]. We were excited that Mr. Miyamoto made the commitment that Pikmin is coming. It would have been nice if we could have said that on stage. But, we think it was a good recognition for us that we care for our core fans, and not just the new people who are now discovering Nintendo.

Lots of other good stuff in the interview, especially if you're interested in the developing Latin American games market.
