[EmCeeGrammar]

 i wanted a new Improved wagglewand .

No smash stuff either.

[demi]

They didnt forget DS. There is DQ Monsters 2

[lordoftherink]

So is it gunna play Blu Ray movies or not?

"custom" means this is likely the same situation with how the Wii had DVD as its media, but could not play DVD movies.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

Wats the link for the specs?

[tiesto]

Pretty big disappointment... Mario 3DS may be good, and it was nice to see Luigi's Mansion wasn't forgotten... but the Wii-U is like - now we get the same multiplat games you can find anywhere else, this time with even more gimmickry.  BORING!

And no Xenoblade/Last Story

What's so funny?

I watched the conference like 40 minutes late. Did they reveal any Skyward Sword vids?

They completely ignored Wii. It's dead and over. WiiU confirmed.

I watched the conference like 40 minutes late. Did they reveal any Skyward Sword vids?

they had a trailer with bits from every zelda game ever,it included some skyward sword bits too,there was a villager link flying on some winged horses or something...

2 hour boring ass intro confirmed

Lame o the max.

[maxy]

No hard drive it seems

[Eel O'Brian]

looks like i missed nothing, i came in when they were drawing stuff on tekken characters, looks like this was all concept stage stuff

i still like the idea of a separate screen for maps/weapons/inventory control

[demi]

Zelda Four Swords DSiWare this summer - free, apparently

They were drawing Dreamcast logos on Jin's face. Subtle trolling by Namco.

[magus]

i just noticed that you can see "Mario Party 9" on the right part of the screen

Zelda Four Swords DSiWare this summer - free, apparently

yes they said it in the conference too

[EmCeeGrammar]

Holy shit, Rhythm Heaven Wii IS getting localised!   I'm happy now.  The only thing I was off about was no surprise pikmin 3 announcement.

If it has "localized" music again, I'll stick with Tengoku

Game Informer's seen the demos shown off on stage in person, and apparently it's about as nice as you'd imagine: Not quite as high quality as the other HD consoles, but definitely better than the standard Wii.

for fuck's sake

[Brehvolution]

why even bother then?

[EmCeeGrammar]

and then said we were all asking for 2005 graphics, late ports and a stupid use of the controller screen.

This thing is going to looks stupid next year when Microsoft and maybe Sony announce their systems.

that's nice pudding, what does any of that shit have to do with the lack of a xenoblade localization announcement?  

Both shitty decisions by a shitty company that has pretty much lied to people time and again into believing that maybe they've finally got it right this time.

Nintendo doesn't really care what nerds want.  Contrary to rumors, they are going after dudebros with this.

Coz dudebros want to play CoD on some 80s looking iPad wannabe

System is rushed,they saw that Wii has no hope and panicked.

[maxy]

[Eel O'Brian]

i honestly thought there'd be a slight but noticeable bump, the tech is certainly cheap enough now

[EmCeeGrammar]

Sure, if they make that second screen essential in some way.  I'm not saying nintendo wants solely to sell to dudebros.  But it is a lucrative demographic they would like to lump in with their present audience.

NO ONE CARES ABOUT NERDS EXCEPT FOR ATLUS

[tiesto]

Still really fucking shit we're not getting those RPGs.

I think I might as well give up gaming.

[Damian79]

Yeah i agree.

I kinda like it.  Npcs still look kinda uggo though.

I never thought the end of that Zelda montage with Skyward Sword gameplay and music would've been the highlight of the conference. Mind blown

Dudebros are playing Halo and Call of Duty. Not Metro 2033 and LEGO GTA.

How is not releasing Xenoblade a shitty decision?  Are you like one of those dudes who says SEGA hates money cuz they won't drop $25 million constructing the next Shenmue snorefest?  

Because they're releasing it in two territories and since they've pretty much written off the wii for those poor saps that thought it was the true gamer machine, the least they can do is give it a North American release.


Oh and I think Shenmue is dogshit so no, I'm not one of those people.

You really don't understand how capitalism works do you?  Publicly traded companies don't have the luxury of making OBVIOUSLY distinguished mentally-challenged DECISIONS.  They may make decisions that are bad in hindsight.  NoA has sales data that lets them know how certain games will sell, they choose to trust in empirical evidence.

[Phoenix Dark]

I'm at work, did Nintendo deliver? Give me good news, true believers

[Himu]

Zelda SS looks decent if uninspired

[Great Rumbler]

I'm at work, did Nintendo deliver? Give me good news, true believers

-No Wii games
-No DS games
-A couple of 3DS games that look decent but are still just rehashes of rehashes
-A bunch of ports of games that will be a year or more old before they finally come out on the WiiU

[magus]

you know to people that says "why bring xenoblade if it isn't going to sell?"

well first of all,noa has to be there for doing something... what's their fucking job? redubbing peppy going "DO A BARREL ROLL!" once again for the 3DS remake?

and second,the game is already being translated by NoE why release the game in europe and not america? it's not like there are more jrpg nerds in europe

the real weird thing is nintendo publishing all these games,it's pretty clear they don't give a rat ass about the wii anymore so i can't understand why they do so

that said if you really want to play the thing,hack your wii and... problem solved

[Great Rumbler]

NoA isn't stupid for not releasing Xenoblade and The Last Story, but that doesn't make me hate them any less.

[Phoenix Dark]

wait, what the fuck?

This looks like an utter disaster. Why would anyone buy this over a 360 or PS3; worse yet, why would a 360/PS3 owner buy this. $250-300 for slightly worse graphics, a host of ports, more Nintendo style rehashes, and a huge expensive controller?

Seriously, why would someone buy CoD on this instead of the other consoles. That seems to be the very demographic Nintendo is aiming for. In a couple years Sony and MS will reveal their next gen consoles. Someone explain: why will developers stick with the WiiU instead of moving on. We'll be stuck with another case of them being unable or unwilling to release gimped ports for a niche system.

And don't give me the bullshit about "well the next gen will cause developers great financial strain, thus allowing Nintendo to be a beacon of cheap dev costs!" I heard that when the Wii came out and look what happened.

mario party 9 looks like the saddest thing ever and the rhythm heaven trailer has barely any new footage

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/e3_2011/03/rolling_western/index.html

zelda material right here

there are more costs involved with releasing a game than just translating it.  NOA's job is to make money.  they can better achieve that task by not releasing niche core jrpgs on a system where they would sell worse than magical starsign.

okay... but i can't imagine a small print being all that pricey
heck if nintendo wasn't distinguished mentally-challenged they could do a digital download and *BAM* no distribution cost at all

[Great Rumbler]

Someone explain: why will developers stick with the WiiU instead of moving on.

What's to explain? Once the PS4 and Xbox720 come, they're gone.

[tiesto]

No Xenoblade/The Last Story - there goes everything I was interested in this year... sigh.

You guys remember when I talked about a gimped 360? Yeah see!

To be honest I doubt those videos will tell us of it's graphics capabilities.  Besides Tekkan and the garden vid none were probably actually using wiiu hardware.  We won't really know until next e3 when they show some actual games.

[Brehvolution]

Wow there is a lot of people over there that think nintendo won E3 hands down.

[huckleberry]

I've decided I'm not buying this, I'm done with this bullshit.

Yeah. I am not even remotely tempted with this thing - unlike the Wii 

[fistfulofmetal]

confirmed the new console is not using bluray

[Himu]

I've decided I'm not buying this, I'm done with this bullshit.

It came true? Look at trash like Just Dance
