2. Ravi Drums

Worst Nintendo E3 Moments - Ravi DrumsOh man. Who can forget this guy? Before Shigsy, and the Nintendo reps, embarrassed themselves on stage with their Wii Music performance, we had Ravi Drums help us introduce the game. And boy did he introduce it!

As his name suggests (we don’t actually believe his surname is ‘Drums’, but it would be kinda cool if it was) Ravi is a drummer, and he demonstrated his ace drumming skills to the nation LIVE, by flopping his arms about in a frenzied state whilst holding a Wii remote and nunchuck. To the casual viewer, it looked like some cruel bastard had made Ravi into a human puppet and was mindlessly controlling him from up above. But alas, that was not to be the case. Ravi was doing all of this on his own accord, which makes it even more depressing.

Even though it is quite painful to watch, you just can’t help yourself. Relive it again and see if you agree.

And finally…

1. Cammie Dunaway

In all fairness to Ms. Dunaway, she seems like a very nice lady, with a good heart, who loves her family. But choosing her as Nintendo’s spokesperson, for 2008’s (and 2009’s) press conference was the biggest mistake in the history of mistakes (E3wise anyway).

We still love you, Nintendo.

David Rawlings
David Rawlings, or ‘Rawky’ as we like to call him, joined the Operation Rainfall Campaign at the beginning. He’s British and found solace with us as he was able to understand our pain about Nintendo and their localizing faux pas. He’s a big fan of the letter ‘U’ and refuses to remove them from words, even though we constantly ask him to. He also believes it’s about time Princess Daisy got kidnapped.
