Nervous Nick gets nostalgic about Nintendo's past E3 moments, good and bad. In the best category: #5: Satoru Iwata pulling the Wii from his jacket, #4: The "Super Mario 64" demo, #3: Various applications for the Wii Remote, including conducting a virtual orchestra, #2: an orchestra playing melodies from "The Legend of Zelda" series, and #1: E3 2004, with Reggie Fils-Aime announcing the Nintendo DS and "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" for GameCube. In the worst category: #5: Wii U's "Sing Party" just being karaoke, #4: The Vitality Sensor, #3: Not enough clarity that the Wii U was a brand new console, not an accessory for the Wii, #2: "Nintendo Land" fireworks, and #1: The "Wii Music" demonstration from 2008.
