1. Konami’s WTF Press Conference

I’ve got to give them credit, it takes a lot of guts to give a press conference in anything but your native language. Still, that doesn’t make it any easier to watch.

I get it, an entire room full of active mobile devices probably isn’t the best thing for a wireless gaming demonstration. And in Nintendo’s defense, the Wii was mostly responsive during the first half of their “Skyward Sword” demo. But the second half, particularly any moment involving Link’s bow and arrow, was tough to sit through. There are few things stranger than watching someone pitch their “revolutionary” product, only to have it fail in front of a huge live audience.
