If you're going to check it out, then check out the superior sequel.  Skip the first one.

Tech demos and a massive amount of lazy ports. Can't say I'm surprised but still, wow. You'd think this would be the perfect time to introduce an actual reason to buy the system at launch, or at least a sneak peek at something coming in the future.

Update: In a follow-up, Nintendo Japan has posted on Twitter that there's a price to pay if two Gamepads are active. Frame rates drop to about 30 fps if two are active; any games that really want that extra controller won't be quite as glass-smooth. On the upside, it's possible to switch one off with a smooth transition; there won't be a need for theatrics just to switch to a solo game.

So if the game isn't originally a good amount better than 30 FPS, 2 pads won't be supported.

I don't get it, this thing is BC with Wii, right? Why is there a new Wii Fit and Just Dance? Neither of those games benefit from the graphics increase, and if they're just going to use the Wiimote and balance board...

The 3DS game looks so much better, seriously.

Kamiya is wasted on this shitmachine.  I don't think he's a game god or anything either, but this is far beneath him.

I'm going to buy one eventually because I sold my Wii years ago so I need this for my Mario and co nostalgia faggotry.

seems like everyone ignored software for the most part this year and focused on social stuff/media services, there are apparently tons of games on the floor for every system that went completely unmentioned in all the conferences

Does seem like the conferences are more going after standard media the last few years. They know all the gamers will pay attention to floor reports and previews.

The Spike/GT thing showed a bunch of games yesterday like Aliens, Borderlands 2, Transformers, etc.

I can't believe that is all the first party games Nintendo has for launch. They could at least show the new Retro game or a 3D Mario that will come out next year to get people excited. They had an entire year to "re-unveil" the Wii U and it was just as bad as last year. At least year had that HD Zelda mock up video.

Nintendo used to get my with this, but the "When in doubt spam Mario" mentality has ruined that.

Actually, given how half-assed this game looks it makes me think Bayonetta 2 still exists and he's been working on it with the other half of his ass.  Or just dicking around on twitter.

Wii U controller battery lasts 3 to 5 hours.  Takes 2.5 hours to charge.

Not really.  Mario will still save their ass for another few generations.

Hell, I'm going to end up buying a Wii U at some point just to play Mario.

Vita - dead
WiiU - might as well be dead

At least that cuts down my purchases to 3DS later this month. I hope the conference tomorrow for it shows some chub material.

But but what about all those games they couldn't talk about due to Nintendo NDA....

I love how this is a complete 180 from the wii reveal with all the lines and excitement. The hype was massive for that thing, game websites were jizzing over it and it launched with zelda and shit.

Now? Watching Gametrailers it seems like everyone was shaking their head, no one is excited at all. The usual ninfans will keep it a float but I don't see it winning the console race a all.

It will be a massive failure compared to Wii.  A bigger drop than PS2 -> PS3.  3DS won't pick up the slack though either, ofc.  Don't think heads will roll for it, but management will be shuffled hard.
Totally wrong product, and a creative disaster on top of that.

If I let it change for the 11 months of a year that no games come out will it last longer when one does?

It's hilarious that Nintendo's intended goal for this was to appeal to "core gamers" and get a lot of third party developers on board. They can't even them to port over all their games. This thing is so DOA.

We need gaffer meltdowns stat!

Tbh from the reaction over there most people are just stunned that conference was all Nintendo had.

They were supposed to 'save' E3 but ended up pissing all over it.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

man everyone thinking this was the worst Nintendo conference needs to get their head screwed back on.

Did you forget 2008 E3?

Remember when it was only just ANIMAL CROSSING and WII MUSIC?

Nintendo showcased a ton of games here, chances are a lot of these will be launch titles and only 2-5 of them suck.

Admit it, if Zelda or smashbros had a trailer at the conference you'd all be sucking Nintendos dick right now.

Also pretty dumb people expected a price and release date at E3.
Did you forget Nintendo didn't do that with the Wii?
Quote
exaggerated backlash here is astounding.

Just astounding.

It was a meh conference. They blew it.

So that means Wii U will never have any games besides Pikmen 3, NSMB U, and Wii Fit U... EVAR.

Pack it up, Nintendo has stopped developing games!

All that really happened here is they chose the wrong things to emphasize in order to win over a hardcore audience that was - judging by these reactions - primed and ready to rip them apart if said audience didn't have pure rainbows injected into their veins.

By the standards of overwrought reactions we are getting, Halo 4 and Xbox 720 are clearly canceled because of how bad the MS press conference was.

The new Platinum game piques my interest. It's not what I've come to expect of them given their modern output, but then again they were responsible for the whimsical VJ and Ookami. And if Kamiya is indeed directing then I'll keep an eye on it. I'm just surprised that it looks somewhat similar in concept to Pikmin, could be wrong though.

That new Platinum game reminds me a lot of The Last Guy.

Ubisoft was the only company to announce a new franchise.

Well, I guess Sony with Beyond, but it got leaked early.

Guys...

All this shows is that many of Nintendo's studio's are still working.


RETRO'S GAME IS COMING.

MONOLITHSOFT'S GAME IS COMING.

3D MARIO IS COMING.

ZELDA IS COMING.

SMASH IS COMING.

ALL OF NINTENDO'S STUFF IS COMING.



This show showed nice 3rd party support.

Rayman Legends is an awesome exclusive.

ZombiU looked good, much better than expected.

Scribblenauts is awesome.

Mass Effect 3

Lego City Stories looked amazing, both creatively and graphically.

They are just showing launch stuff, Nintendo's has NintendoDirect now to show stuff as it's finished, and this was only half their stuff, we still get the 3DS conference tomorrow.

It wasn't the BEST conference for us, but Wii-U looked like it had an awesome launch selection for me.

I'm a Nintendo/PC gamer, i've never played an Assasins Creed, now I will. Batman will have the DLC and the new gameplay mechanics, i'm excited for that. Many Nintendo gamers haven't played MAss Effect, now they can. Darksiders is the definitive version...


How many console's can boast as awesome a launch lineup as

Pikmen 3
2D Mario
Assassins Creed 3
Rayman Legends (Exclusive 3rd party)
Lego City Stories (Exclusive 3rd Party
EA Sports games
Tekken Tag 2
Nintendo Land
Scribblenauts
ZombiU (exclusive 3rd party new IP)
Exlusive Platinum studios game published by Nintendo...

Awesome launch lineup.

Nintendo's big guns are absolutely coming, and what they showed looked super sweet.

That's exactly what I thought at the beginning of the trailer, from there on it looked Pikminesque.

Wii U controller battery lasts 3 to 5 hours.  Takes 2.5 hours to charge.

Nintendo has a solution to this problem: they're not making any games anyone would want to play for more than three hours.

And if Kamiya is indeed directing then I'll keep an eye on it. I'm just surprised that it looks somewhat similar in concept to Pikmin, could be wrong though.

VJ wasn't just whimsy though.  It was a hardcore deep action game like Bayonetta/DMC on a 2.5d plane.  Okami was an epic Zelda adventure with DMC-lite combat and a ton of exploration.

This doesn't look as appealing to the hardcore gamer crowd as Kamiya's previous works.

I don't recall the Wii getting the big 3rd party multiplats. (btw we know EA is on board from last year (Especially given the support for 2 gamepads at once), they chose to put UBI front and center this time around)

The only thing really lacking were some big first party nintendo games other than NSMB and Pikmin, but would that really be "different" from the Wii? The Wii had those games.

wth were you expecting to differentiate it from the Wii other than HD, and 3rd party support, both of which were actually shown.

Nintendo cut it's own content in half by devoting a show to the 3DS tomorrow, and they decided to only focus on launch software for the conference proper, bad move, surely, but GAF should be smarter than to whine like petulent children framing all of their hopes and dreams moment to moment on a press event.
