My gut feeling is they're going to talk about a lot of 3ds stuff we already knew about, a lot of wii u stuff we already knew about but hasn't been released yet.  The only new things will be mario, mariokart, and smash.  Wii Fit U will get a 5 minute segment.

A hardcore new ip and 199 euro would be a good start

Now that I have a 3DS i'm interested in what kind of stuff they show for it.

My predictions:

- The 8 GB tard pack will be dropped.  The 32 GB tard pack will be price dropped to either $299 or $249, depending on how desperate Nintendo is.
- Nintendo will unveil some casual friendly attempt at sparking interest for the Wii U with a new IP.  It will look stupid and everyone on the internet (except Nintards, natch) will laugh at it.
- In spite of nobody giving a fuck, Nintendo is going to add more features to the Miiverse.
- New Mario game that will be based on 3D Land, not Galaxy.
- New Mario Kart by surprise developer Retro!
- Increased attempts at pushing cross play between 3DS and Wii U

As part of my own personal hype build up, which I know will be frowned upon - I tried to draw Reggie on Miiverse on Saturday... I accidentally hit post before finishing it, and after - sadly not kidding - a few hours of stippling.

Is there any way to watch this on a Wii U itself?

They've got a 'Backstage' sub-community of their E3 community on Miiverse, only Nintendo staff can post, they'll probably post videos and news to that. They'll probably post an embedded video stream as well, if that's possible.
Title: Re: The Nintendo Direct E3 Thread
Post by: Great Rumbler on June 11, 2013, 09:27:48 AM
They will probably talk about Pikmin 3 as well.

Remember when Pikmin 3 was a launch title :rofl

Remember when Pikmin 3 was a Wii game.

Pikmin 3, like the fabled Smash Bros. for whichever Nintendo system is current, exists only to be mentioned at events like this. They'll both come out eventually, sure, but they're hardly top priorities for the internal studios working on them.

It's deceiving though, if you pick the 32gb they add $70 to the cost, and adding a pro controller adds $30

the new smash was so disappointing,the brawl reveal was a fucking event that showed a bajillion of new character's and stage,this was a fart in the wind by comparison... "here are the same old stage with the same old character oh and the guy from animal crossing :derp" and it's neat they added megaman but it's also sort of expected so it really doesn't have the same weight of back when they announced snake

the end of the video said they were opening a smash bros site again,i really loved the shit out of dojo so i checked the old page and it still didn't have anything new on it,what's up with that?

EDIT: ooooooooooohhhhh the japanese site is updated! it's full of cool artwork :gladbron

Not scary enough for an E3 price drop, apparently.  I balked at the Wii U's high price as much as I balked about its current dearth of games... and now, knowing the power and pricepoint of the PS4, instead of balking, I'm just stunned. 

My guess is they just weren't expecting it to the point of not making plans.  They will lose there holiday sales if they don't drop the price by October.

Mario Kart 8's gimmick looks fun, though.

Have you played Sonic Racing Transformed?  Basically the same thing, barring the gravity thing.

The gravity thing is the new gimmick.  The transforming cars were in 7, which is where SEGA nicked the idea from.

Terrible, terrible showing.  Everything was just going through the motions and they've got fuck all ready this year.

Ah, I stand corrected.

Nintendo's strategy: remake all those 3DS games people liked. But somehow take forever on it.

This is what alarms me the most. This seems like all filler no killer...

NSMB U was fun while it lasted, and more fun than it looks actually, but I think it failed to ignite excitement because it looked so similar to NSMB2 and NSMB Wii.

Now we've got...

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze... looking like the recent Donkey Kong Country Returns / 3D

Wii Party U... looking like Wii Party

Super Mario 3D World... looking like Super Mario 3D Land

Mario Kart 8... looking exactly like Mario Kart 7 + Mario Kart Wii

Wind Waker HD looking unsurprisingly a lot like Wind Waker, with no news of the enhancements to gameplay outside of message bottles

X looks great, but that too looks a bit like Xenoblade with Gundam Wings.

What I've no doubt about is that a lot of these games will be fun... DKCR was one of the best games last gen, and a multiplayer SM3D Land style game will be amazing. I'll pour hours into Art Academy, so I was happy to hear that's coming soon in some form. Will I be able to play online with anyone I know, in games like Mario Kart 8, if Nintendo fail to get people excited about the system? I think not.

No price drop announcement really has my mind melting. I know E3 has just started, but Nintendo and their marketing team seem blissfully unaware of how terrible they are doing.

Games looked fine, only thing I wasn't keen on was mariokart cuz fuck mario kart.  The bitter manbaby tears are succulent as ever though.

If i had to express disappointment, the awesomer looking stuff ain't coming out until unspecific times in 2014.  That being said the stuff that has a probably chance of selling wiinoun/mario/donkeykong will be hitting this holiday, so maybe sales will improve.

adjusting to improve the 'tempo' of the game sounds like they'll be tweaking the sailing or triforce quest parts to me. 1080p is nice, and I'm definitely buying it, but I dunno what the ROI will be like on this one.

I think Mario 3D World will be to Mario 3D Land what NSMBU was to NSMB2.

Mario Kart and Smash were needed yesterday, not 2014.

There were just about no big Wii games in the last 2 years. WTF has Nintendo's console division been working on?

Wii U has been just terrible for a Nintendo console so far.

Seems like Wind Waker might support off-TV play.  Second screen has items and map on it.

Bayonetta 2 does have off-TV play.  In fact, I think mirroring the game is the only use of the tablet.

Super Mario 3D World has off-TV play.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze has off-TV play.

Quote from: gaf
This is a massive disappointment. There’s almost nothing left of the freedom and precision controls introduced so perfectly in Mario 64. Now it’s an essentially 2d, slow playing, unimaginative, lazy mess, with horrible graphics and offensive music. If this is what they came up with, why wasn’t this ready last year? It’s like they put zero effort into what was once their flagship franchise.

 I’m just baffled that Nintendo thinks they need to dumb down the 3D Mario series, or shoehorn in a worthless, carbon-copy multiplayer mode lifted straight out of New Super Mario Bros. There’s none of the imagination so brilliantly on display in the two Galaxy games here. Awful

Nailed it.

Oh my god, the bolded parts I agree with 100%

Thoughts:

- Super Mario 3D World looks fucking terrible. While I haven't played 3D Land I don't remember it looking like that during the trailers. Most underwhelming looking 3D Mario ever. Even the supposedly superior graphics can't hold a candle to how great the Galaxy games look. The gameplay looks bland and lame, something I never thought I'd say about a Mario game. It's almost obvious that they hastily put this together to have something for the holidays.

- Mario Kart 8 looks sick. I haven't given a shit about the series in a while but it's nice to see a good looking Mario Kart after the ugly and terrible Mario Kart Wii.

- Wii Party U and Wii Fit U are not registering in anyone's mind at all I bet.

- Drawing? meh.

- Wind Waker is EXACTLY THE SAME GAME. What is even funnier is the fact that IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME TOO JUST SLIGHTLY WORSE DUE TO AWFULLY USED EFFECTS. Who the fuck is going to buy this shit?

- W101 and Bayonetta 2 looked amazing. I thought X looked great too. It really sucks that they are on a console I don't want at all.

- Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze looks great but man I'm getting "This series is going to be run into the ground soon" vibes from it. Sucks that Retro couldn't make something different. A waste of their talents.

- Super Smash Bros. looks exactly the same. Almost like there's no graphical upgrade even. This was easily the most boring Smash trailer of all time, the Brawl and Melee ones got you hyped like a motherfucker. This one is just like here's the same game but with a character who just joined the irrelevancy wagon. Gameplay looked slooooooow as hell too.

Man, Wii U is looking worse and worse each time.

Thanks for the recap i was at work but apparently i didnt miss a thing :)

Donkey Kong U looked pretty good despite being more of the same. Clearly not a system seller.

Bayonetta 2's combat concerned me a bit. Look at all of her attacks - huge arcs and sweeps that cover nearly the whole screen, and her finishers are enormous. Even against apparent non-boss enemies she's got weaves everywhere. Looks like they might have gone the casual/mash route. Not surprising, but if so I'm not going to bother playing it.

Wonderful 101 I'm not feeling it much. Maybe because I'm not used to using a touch gamepad for anything.

And those are the only 3 Wii U games I even care enough to comment on. No price drop. Guess I'm not getting a Wii U anytime soon, if ever. 3DS is plenty enough Nintendo for me anyways, I guess. I barely played through the Wii library as is.

My assumption is that there will be a price drop by Fall, but perhaps they were hoping to hold off as long as possible and not kill off what little sales they're getting right now by signalling to people that a price drop is coming around September. Personally, I think they should have announced a price drop effective immediately, but we'll see what happens.

Where Iwata seems most different to Yamauchi is that he seems to respond to mega sales successes with bankrolling more of the same without adding too much that is immediately and obviously, new.

Wii Sports > Wii Sports Resort
NSMB > multiple iterations
3D Land > more
Art Academy > more
Brain Training > more
Mario Kart > more

He's getting exactly what he deserves for not being truer to their history of changing it up each time

"Sell the systems on first party games ONLY. Make those games rehashes of 3DS games. Fuck third parties, except for what we can moneyhat (Bayo, Sonic.)"

That said I'm pretty hyped for WW HD, DKCR, and Sonic this year. :rock

With how all the new Nintendo games look exactly the same as the most recent iterations, I fully expect the new Zelda to piss me off by being more of a Skyward Sword rehash, blegh.

skyward sword looked pretty tho. no shame staying in that lane.

They should do everything possible to stimulate sales before the new consoles are released.

Is Bayonetta a system seller to fans of the series? I've heard a couple folks say they're getting a WiiU just for it, but overall reactions to it/WiiU in general are pretty stale.

Yesterday you would have thought that only Sony and MS existed. Geoff  kept saying "we'll be interviewing Reggie tomorrow about all the Nintendo stuff" yet it just felt like nobody cared lol. What a fuck up.

I can imagine lots of wining and dining goes on during E3 between various developers and publishers. Can anyone imagine Nintendo wining or dining...anyone?

I'll wait for reviews.  I wouldn't be surprised if platinum is using it for Nintendo money to fund other projects. 

That's more of a Western developer thing.

Hell this ND would have probably gone over much better had they not announced 90% of the shit in old Directs. Bayo 2, WW HD, and Smash Wii U/3DS could have easily been held back until now.

Wow, no Galaxy 3...jesus wtf clusterfuck must be going on over there with HD development.


3d Land was great.  Probably my favorite Mario since Galaxy 1.  But...I don't want it on a console.  I know tablet and all, but what made 3d land good was the short fun stages you can play in 1-2 mins while waiting in line or on a train or whereever with your 3ds.  It also was one of the few games that really looked nice in 3d and benefited a lot from it. 

Whenever I get a Wii U I'm more interested in NSMB U than this.  This just seems so...unnecessary.


Where is Nintendo's 1 big first party game with fancy visuals to move the system?  Galaxy was and is still impressive as hell in art design and graphics (for Wii).  No big epic console generation starting Mario game, no sign of Zelda (not that anyone should care about Zelda after the DS games and Skyward Sword), no Metroid...I guess Mario Kart & Smash are their big visual treats?

That makes sense with the exception that they still make money on HW sales and so it might be better in terms of short term stock holder view to keep the price up, even if it's a shoot in the foot later on.  They have been hurting since the last two years of wii.

I missed the Direct this morning, but I just watched it. Summary:
- X looks nice, 2014.
- Bayo 2 looks nice, 2014.
- MK is nice, 2014.
- Smash is smash, never bought any of them, 2014.
- Mario 3DL2 is sweet, barely made it this year.
- Zero new 3rd party snatch-ups. Zero new game announcements... Oh wait, DKRC2 was announced, by Retro lol. In other words they weren't working on a new IP, mature IPs, Metroid/F-Zero crossover. Poor Ninthings. :lol

Reggie is on right now apologizing on GT. When asked about where's the variety he admitted people buy Nintendo systems only for Mario. And that "I keep hearing people weren't satisfied with what was announced yesterday." Head > Butt :rofl

This game company is nowhere near prepared. If I didn't know any better I'd say they're not in a state of urgency.

My Wii U purchases for the rest of the year: W101, Mario 3DL2... can't hold this many no-games!

I didn't know that.  What ever happened to the studio making the Giest game for gamecube?

They do lots of Wii/DS ports, and they recently developed Heroes of Ruin for S-E.

You guys are hopeless really.

OHMY you can race on walls, the track goes VERTICAL WOOOOW NINTENDO.

The some Nintendo published 3rd party exclusive  :lol

I think the issue is that -- though there are plenty of great criticisms that can be levied at Nintendo in light of this Direct -- Mario Kart really isn't the best target. From what little we've seen, it looks very competent technically given the hardware it's on and honestly does seem to be mixing up the gameplay a fair amount. Your attempts to rag on it seem like some of your more lazy, uninspired trolling wherein you figured it was a safe bet because, after all, what are the chances that a Mario Kart sequel wouldn't just be a lazy cash in? It's low hanging fruit for a Grade D troll such as yourself, and now you just can't back down.

God dammit. I just read the above paragraph, and it reads like first class Nintendo apologist stuff when I've been nothing but a harsh critic of Nintendo for quite some time. I don't know if your ability to evoke this kind of devil's advocate response from me is indicative of the fact that your trolling is better than I give you credit for, or if you're just that fucking stupid, but I think I'm leaning towards the latter.

Pretty much. They know this generation is lost for the wider audience (if they didn't realize that from the get go) and are doubling down on their bread and butter till they can release their handheld/console hybrid in 3 years.

That's the other half of their business plan. They get you when you are young and then they get you when you are old(er) and are looking to scratch that nostalgia itch.  So, they try this balancing act of games to get young kids hooked, but still remind adults of the games they played as a kid.

Of course, some never actually get older, they remain young forever.

I have no idea how you think that Mario Kart 8 looks like a wii game in 1080 (and 60 frames per second, killzone)?

I just saw the Mario Kart trailer, really just looks like any other Mario Kart.

You mean there are still Mario characters--and they race carts around Mario themed tracks?

In terms of visual quality, it doesn't look like any other Mario Kart

Zelda:OOT/SM64 weren't really graphical powerhouses, they were more marvels for how they played. It was one thing to make a game in 3D (at the time), it was quite another to actually make it feel smooth and fluid.

My stance is that it's perfectly possible to call out Nintendo as lazy and cynical, but with Mario Kart that only really works in the broad sense (i.e. the same games as always). Focusing a microscope on it doesn't really work, as it honestly looks like they're trying at first glance. Graphically, it looks as good as any Wii U game I've seen, and in terms of mixing up the gameplay, it appears to be trying. It doesn't really make for the best example of a lazy cash grab when you're citing New Super Mario games as the examples of that. Further, why would Mario Kart need Gears of War production values?

And Nintendo's still making those types of games. Only the industry's definition of big budget has changed while Nintendo's stayed the same. Also I think you having to go back 15-20 years to find examples kinda proves my point.

Who needs things like Last of Us or Quantum Break when Nintendo has once again gone out of their way delivering the defining Mario Kart experience.

Is there anything that Sony could do at this moment to counteract all that Nintendo has unveiled? I think not.

whoa whoa, i have nothing to defend here except wii fit milf, but lets not kid ourselves-- the new mario kart will probably outsell both of those by a fair margin.   :lol

Yes, because that's what people are harping on. Personally, I expect sales to remain completely in the shitter barring a big price drop. There's a lot not to like about the Wii U, and that remains true after this conference. However, I don't think that criticisms like "I expect Mario Kart to look like a AAA next gen game with a huge budget" or "Mario Kart looks like a Wii game" are really the right complaints. Perhaps you wish that they made something original instead of Mario Kart, and that would be a legitimate, coherent complaint. Instead, you spout your brand of gibberish.

Like I said, I honestly can't believe I'm playing the role of Nintendo advocate here. But you're just that dumb.

*sits at his desk eating pistachios, shaking his head* What are... *sighs* I...

I've got nothing.

To clarify, this is a real thing — a new playable character. Nintendo seemed excited about it. They are completely in touch.

At least the video is hilarious.

They seriously put this up as an article?

To me, the biggest problem with Nintendo right now can be highlighted by the single example of Donkey Kong Country. X might end up fitting the bill, but if there was one company that could make something that isn't in Nintendo's wheelhouse and make it look surprisingly good for the hardware, it was Retro. But what are they doing instead? Another fucking Donkey Kong game. Granted, I'm sure it'll be a very good 2D platformer, but I don't think anyone's looking at the lineup for the Wii U going "you know what this console needs? More platformers."

I feel like the greatest problem is Nintendo is short by one or two dev teams and have been since Rare feel apart.  They managed to stumble by the GC era with SK and having sega do F-zero but they really shouldn't need to be having retro do something like this DK just so they can get more games out there.

Either A) Nintendo still doesn't trust their westerns to do anything, or B) more talent has left Retro than we have realized, or C) Nintendo realized their troubled state ages ago and decided they needed Retro's game this holiday even if it meant making more Donkey Kong.

I wouldn't say Retro has gone bad. Nintendo's just unwilling or unable to expend the time/resources to keep them as a high quality one. They needed a title too badly this holiday to let them work on anything else. And there's no way Retro has spent 3 years on Donkey Kong Country 2 (..5?) unless they had a previous project or two that got cancelled. I imagine Nintendo has greatly downplayed  how much outsourcing they had Retro do on titles like Mario Kart 7 (and 8?). And its the same with the rest of their western devs too.

Its like Nintendo wants (needs) to move to an Ubisoft style of global development, but is unwilling to sacrifice the developer vision to do so.

Retro is basically a coding branch at this point akin to Monster games and Next Level games.  The original creative directors have moved on, and maybe now people will realise that Retro's role is to do what they're overseers command with a lot of supervision.

They just need to space out that triforce hunt so your not looking for 6-7 of them consecutively. Plus do away with the need to grind for cash to pay off Tingle to translate maps.

So? It looks amazing and will probably be one of the best platformers of the past five years. DKCR was amazing but there's lots of room for expansion and improvement, which this game looks to be making.

Further, it's a crowded genre.

GTFO. Crowded my ass. This game is crowded like PC adventure games are crowded. I mean sure, TellTale is cranking them out regularly but it's still underserved.

Donkey Kong Country is not the Retro game I wanted Nintendo to have as their flagship title to compete against new hardware launches.

Even though I still think you should fight pole jokes with canuck jokes, a general "you can't get laid" joke is more appropriate than "digging stuff from the relationship thread to make you look like an idiot." Don't be so contemptuous, breh. That's the opposite of joking around.

I'm not necessarily speaking about the best move just in terms of Retro selling software in as much as I think they could have been put to quelling some of the hardware concerns.

Uuuh so its ok to makes jokes about someones racial background (or sexual preferencae) but not about their relationship mishaps? that would never stand in a court of law.

X: are you stupid or just n**** f**
T: uuh you cant get laid
Judge: Wow Y you're so going to jail

NEVER EVER

Even though I still think you should fight pole jokes with canuck jokes, a general "you can't get laid" joke is more appropriate than "digging stuff from the relationship thread to make you look like an idiot." Don't be so contemptuous, breh. That's the opposite of joking around.
Yeah I mean making fun of each others nationalities is kind of a bore hallmark.

Retro is basically a coding branch at this point akin to Monster games and Next Level games.  The original creative directors have moved on, and maybe now people will realise that Retro's role is to do what they're overseers command with a lot of supervision.

The same Next Level that just made 3DS GOTY contender Luigi's Mansion?

Arvie, you're an ok dude, but if you start calling me names I can link you some posts of yours from the relationship thread so we can settle who the idiot is.

Holy shit, what a venomous thing to say.

No I, was being an ass and deserved that.

Because you made a polish joke you deserve being threatened by sensitive personal information you shared in the past? How about retaliating with Canadian jokes?! They're funnier, whereas even joking about poles is evidently worthless.
I wouldn't say it was sensitive info, I wouldn't have posted anything I wasn't willing to be made fun of.  The problem with pole jokes is that there is a racial/nationality blur that isn't a part of Canadian jokes for example.  While I meant the joke to be on the level of a Canadian joke, it didn't work out that way.

smash bros needs more characters that don't naturally translate to fighting game characters. megaman is easy, he comes from an action game where he has all sorts of attacks. Wii Fit Trainer (WFT) uses yoga poses as a martial art. Animal Crossing Villager digs for fossils and hits people's toes in the process and he pockets projectiles to help pay off his mortgage to Nook. Standing between those two Megaman looks like a desperate halfwit.

GTFO. Crowded my ass. This game is crowded like PC adventure games are crowded. I mean sure, TellTale is cranking them out regularly but it's still underserved.

Not on the Wii U it isn't.

Because first person shooters aren't crowded? ::) ::) ::)

On the Wii U, particularly going forward? No. It's not crowded at all. Further, it's not like Metroid is supposed to be another Call of Duty/Halo type game.

Most of the recent talks were that they were working on something brand new. Also, it really seems like you haven't followed this bit of controversy at all. Maybe two years ago there was speculation that Retro would make another Donkey Kong Country game, but since last E3, the only thing we've known is that they have a title in the works and nobody knew what it was.

Holy shit at all the people shitting on DKC2. GTFO you philistines. Game looks AWESOME. Probably the best and freshest feeling non-X game they showed.

It's just not what the console needs right now. It's not a system seller. Further, it's a crowded genre. We got New Super Mario last November, New Super Luigi is coming out soon, there's Rayman coming in September, and on the 3D platformer front, we've got 3D Mario in December, and an exclusive 3D Sonic platformer coming out as well. This game may well be really fun, but it's not going to put asses in the seats during a time when Nintendo desperately needs some reason for people to be excited about this machine. Donkey Kong Country is not the Retro game I wanted Nintendo to have as their flagship title to compete against new hardware launches.

The last donkey kong was retro's largest seller ever, and I'm not convinced that Nintendo has any ideas as groundbreaking as CoD4 was to rope in a new crowd of consumers.  Realistically, if we were talking about retro being put to task of making the console relevant, it would be developing something like Wii Sports ala what Rare has been marginalized to these days.

I'm not necessarily speaking about the best move just in terms of Retro selling software in as much as I think they could have been put to quelling some of the hardware concerns. I think if anything was going to make this console not look outdated compared to the Xbox One and PS4 this holiday season, there was hope that it would be Retro's mystery project. Maybe it wouldn't have sold as well as Donkey Kong Country, but I honestly think the Retro could have done more good for the platform's image with something like a Metroid Prime 4. As is, all they can hang their hat on is "remember the nice things the guy from Criterion said about the system" and "hey, X will come out sometime next year."

 and I still don't think consumers share this attitude of performance inadequacy.  It doesn't inform their purchase.  See Wii.  The Wii U's problem is that it doesn't have an entcing gimmick and/or the desirable software to catch their attention.  Software/hardware pricing plays a more important role. Something like donkey kong is more likely to sell a wii u then whatever graphical showcase male empowerment fantasy retro could cook up, unless it was truly a phenomena akin to Monster Hunter in japan or CoD4 stateside.  I doubt they're capable of that with the original staff gone.

And publishers will never be convinced of the system's potential even if they did deliver a technical miracle.  They have plenty of reasons to ignore Nintendo for the 4th time in a row... wow is it really 4...

I really don't think Donkey Kong is going to do much of anything to move hardware. You mention that it sold more than Metroid, which is a fair point. But remember when New Super Mario Bros. sold five billion copies on the Wii and then its successor launched on the Wii U and the Wii U proceeded to sell like horse shit despite having a followup to a massively successful game from last generation? I don't see why Donkey Kong is going to be any different.

If the Wii U manages to have a big November, I only see that happening on the back of a big price cut or killer bundles. Not because consumers respond to another good 2D platformer releasing.

Im not saying its going to do gangbusters or move the watermark for WiiU monthly sales.  But of all the things retro could be doing, this has the best chance of being successful.

Mario 2 does not suck. Take it back. It's better than 1 or 3. I have the same opinion I had in 1990. Mario 2 > 1 and3

I don't know. I think Mario 3d World looks great if you're a Mario fan. I mean, why would anyone expect more Galaxy? I don't even want a spiritual sequel or successor. We have two Galaxy games. It's good to go in a more classic direction, I think, because the chance they come up with anything that tops Galaxy is so fucking slim.

Warming up to 3DWorld.  Despite expecting a massive epic adventure like Galaxy, this looks really solid itself.  3DLand was really quite good despite being easy.  This could be to 3DLand what NSMBWii was to NSMB.  That is, a huuuuuuge upgrade in quality and design.

Really though, that EAD group hasn't made a single bad Mario game yet.  And I do sort of expect a big 3D Mario game again from them in a few years.

Since Wii U sales are in the shitter, knocking out a 3D Land Mario game is probably easier than a Galaxy Mario game.

We may see Mario Universe in 2015 if Nintendo hasn't abandoned the Wii U by then.

So, no price drop? Er, ok. I wasted my $350 already. For the health of the system, it'd be nice if they could get more out there.

Then again, this is Nintendo: all the usual iterations, trickle of third party. Health, schmealth.

Still, this turd needs to sell to someone. Need more Lego City. Grind out those sequels.

Was pretty pleased with the showing - nothing that truly made me holy shit (aside from X and Mega Man being in Smash)... but I loved 3DLand (favorite of all the 3D Marios actually), DKC Returns and Bayonetta... and I'm sure the sequels will also be great. I think that out of all the conferences, Nintendo by far had the most games I'm interested in.

You wanna know why we're getting a new DKCR and not a new Metroid Prime? You really wanna know?

Because DKCR sold far more than the best selling Metroid Prime. And probably cost a lot less.

Andy, let's be real:

New DK looks great and will be great, that much is basically guaranteed. But are you going to tell me that disappointment isn't warranted considering Retro are capable of so much more? Or that DK couldn't have had another great game if they got Next Level or some other good developer to try their hand at it?

DKC Tasty Breeze is just the calibre I expect of Retro. Platformers are not an inherently "lesser" genre which is what's been implied by the whiners. For me, platformers are first class.

We got three frigging Metroid games out of Retro, two  of which most people think are meh, and people are whining after a DKC trailer that goddamn good? Those people can go to hell for having no taste and for devaluing 2D platformers in the 2000's first place.

EmCee argued this point, and I understand it. However, I think this bit of good old fashioned horse sense is applicable in terms of viewing Nintendo as a software publisher, but perhaps misses the point when it comes to also seeing Nintendo as a platform promoter. If the name if the game is just funding software that provides a solid return on investment, then why in the world are they funding Bayonetta 2? Now, it's possible that its partially completed status meant they could lock it up for a song, but my gut feeling is that they probably won't make a ton of money on it, but it helps them in securing an exclusive in an area where they are weak. I think Retro is capable of something similar with something not Donkey Kong-related, even if I concede the point that Donkey Kong Country is the safer play in regards to selling software.

It's not just about pushing the sales needle. It's also about diversifying the software output. Nintendo isn't lacking in mascot platformers, and Retro has proven in the past that they can make something outside of Nintendo's wheelhouse.

Other than the bomb that was Other M, the Metroid franchise has sold just fine. It's Nintendo Mad Men. You keep it going as a statement to your talent superiority. It's never going to beat super popular mainstream stuff, but it's buzzworthy enough to garner you attention and relevancy.

Today's interview was not an interview. (http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/txsasr/nintendo-e3-2013--reggie-interview---part-1--stream-) It was a direct attack against Reggie.

Geoff came in there with ONE OBJECTIVE...

He tried to get Reggie to show disappointment at the Wii U.

I should mention that when the 3DS was being released, Reggie was far from my favorite COO. But I give him Mad Props for conducting himself like he did today.

But right now, I have lost so much respect for Geoff. I wish for once that arrogant jerk can act like a god damn OBJECTIVE reporter and give some love for once. Yes Nintendo Wii U launch was not as strong as I WISH it to be. Yes, I recognized the fact that NINTENDO is not a perfect company. But what company is?

The thing that bothered me the most, is that Geoff  was pushing his believe that the Wii U has no , that's a big fat 0, 3rd party support. Which is a false statement. Yes the Wii U has room to grow in terms of acquiring 3rd party support.  But Geoff should stop being a hater of Nintendo and appreciate it for what it is doing right.

Me, I am not impressed with the XBox One DRM and $$$, but I thought their games were fantastic.  PS4... Great system but for me, not a whole a lot of games that got me excited. (maybe FF XV). But I bet that system will perform great and entertain a whole lot of people.

I cant wait to learn more about SSB for the Wii U and love my Wii U, I may pick up a PS4 soon as well.

See Geoff, this is how you provide opinion without looking like a douche bag. You are not fooling anyone. Please stop acting like a prick and show some love.

I wanted Geoff to slap Reggie every time he smacked the back of his hand into the other, saying "its about the gaaames" over and over. If its about the games where are yours aside from fucking platformers and re-treads?

I wish I could talk directly to Reggie to tell him how excited and interested I am in Quantum Break, Titanfall, Mirrors Edge 2, and a dozen other games he's failing to bring to his platform. I'm not saying I expect XBone and PS4 games on the Wii U, but I expect better variety in genres, and for Nintendo to at least try and have one decent third party partnership / coup outside of W101, Sonic Lost Worlds and Bayonetta... I'm glad those games are coming, but they need more.

The stuff they've shown looks good, and I'll buy a depressing amount of it, but I don't think its going to improve things for the system. If Reggie REALLY has the confidence he was trying to display to Geoff in that interview, NOA are living in cloud cuckoo land.

I liked 3D Land, but it's probably best not to presume that it's universally loved, as it clearly isn't. And even among those that do enjoy it, it's probably not best to assume that everyone is on board with that as the vision for console Mario platformers.

I'm sorry but I didn't know that wii games ran in 1,080P. Look at the bump mapping on Browser and look at the roundness of Mario's cap (clearly using tessellation). Wii game? Stop trolling.

Yes.  3D Land is excellent, but the point is that Nintendo created a certain expectation that 3D World doesn't live up to.  Like, the entire thing, and Wii U line up as a whole, comes off as creatively bankrupt.  For its blunders with the Gamecube, at least Nintendo took some chances back then.  To be fair, the 3DS is doing great and another story entirely.

And I'm sure 3D World will be great.  My main concern with its quality is the multiplayer.  When your game needs to accommodate four players, you end up with more space, larger platforms, etc.  Motorcycle versus a minivan.

Because most of us have played it and this isn't what we expected as the wiiu 3ds Mario game.

wow those shots look great!  thanks Malek!

btw, what is that weird blue star on the right side of that first shot?  it kind of looks like a cursor.  Is there some other peripheral required to play this new Wii U Mario game?  Nintendo just doesn't know when to quit! 

Anyways, thanks again for the new pics of Super Mario 3D World for Wii U.

He's spot on. I like Nintendo directs, but this one had me really disappointed in how much they just focussed on going back to the well. The games will be great, but stump is also right that Nintendo's approach to the press is also hurting them.

The games I'm most eager to play on Wii U and 3DS in the coming months are the ones that Nintendo probably won't push heavily -- Mighty Switch Force 2 on 3DS (out today in US - in Europe on 27th), Cloudberry Kingdom, Wonderful 101 etc. They're gonna try and sell Wind Waker HD, a port of a game that sold between 3 and 4 million on a userbase 8.5x higher than Wii U. Mario 3D World might help, and MK8 etc in 2014, but I'm aghast that they're not doing more to try and sell this console to non-Nintendo fans in 2013. I'm sure that their friends at Ubisoft and co are equally appalled as well.

X gives me a God Eater vibe. A bunch of monster hunter style missions strung together with some half-assed story. I mean I love God Eater but its not what I (or I assume most Nintendo fans) want from a system headlining jrpg. Until Nintendo does more than show some boring trailers I'm not surprised people are ignoring it.
Title: Re: The Nintendo Direct E3 Thread (#DEAD)
Post by: magus on June 13, 2013, 09:11:34 AM
the only reason why people aren't ignoring it is because xenoblade turned out so well.  it's easy to remember that, and also easy to forget xenosaga/gears.

it's not like we have the sort of info to care about it other than it features big open area and big monster

oh wait i guess that's all some people need to be excited :derp

People are so weird. Obviously the only point where anyone should be excited about a game is after they've already finished it and then can accurately judge whether it's worth being excited about or not.

oh come on great rumbler,i'm not saying that but at least more info would be nice,for all we know the game might be a MMO/Monster hunter like (since of the multiple player shown on the trailer) which i'm pretty sure would make a lot of people throwing a fit
Title: Re: The Nintendo Direct E3 Thread (#DEAD)

I'm excited because X has some really nice art/graphics, piloting mechs around a massive world ripe for exploring, giant monsters wandering around everywhere, and the developer's previous game was top-shelf excellent.

GEE GUYS I DON'T KNOW WHY ANYBODY WOULD BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS GAME.

of course, don't have a conversation with stump about apple, or the whole illusion falls apart.

Stump is an Apple fan?

Yup. I've talked to Stump about ios a bit over at gaf. He's definitely a big Apple fan. Kev being an stard is common knowledge to me, but then again, I've talked to him in private for years.

Wow, this is some pretty crazy stuff. Microsoft is certainly in damage control mode with Xbox One right now. They're trying to sway people back in their direction. Apparently, one of the ways they're trying to do so is by hitting up Nintendo's Best Buy E3 Experience Event.

Believe it or not, multiple reports are coming in stating that Microsoft employees are hitting up the line and asking people why they would bother with Wii U when Xbox One is right around the corner. As you can see in the image above, there is indeed someone wearing a Microsoft shirt approaching people in line. This is just a bit too much for me!
