ugh, I can just feel the tryhard

[Tasty]

There is a YouTube stream

[Steve Youngblood]

I just want them to announce that the Gamecube controller adapter is in stores now and I'll call Nintendo the winner of this year's E3.

[Tasty]

HOLY FUCK YouTube livestreams work with Chromecast

[Mr. Gundam]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Human Snorenado]

OH THE TROLLIN I'MA DO TOMORROW Y'ALL

[Tasty]

Is it trolling when it's literally all you do anyways?

[Human Snorenado]

Is it trolling when it's literally all you do anyways?

I wouldn't want a day to come and go where you thought you were a normal human being with rational tastes

[mjemirzian]

New Bayonetta 2 trailer and release date and I'm set.

Now I know how KevinCow felt

[etiolate]

Sadly, this conference might have more games of interest than anything else so far.

It's DK, how is it a trilogy?

Wat?

[Trent Dole]

DK sucks

[Tasty]

DK sucks

Metroid sucks more

[pilonv1]

Hopefully there's been an incredible surge in console sales after today's lackluster showings from the big 2 and Ubisoft decides to release all the ports

[Joe Molotov]

I hope there's a large segment of the show devoted to Sonic Boom.

[archie4208]

[MCD]

I wasn't expecting such a high tech site from Nintendo.

[bork]

Gonna assume this is just more b-roll footage of the same games they've been showing every year, now minus Mario Kart. 

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[a slime appears]

I hope there's a large segment of the show devoted to Sonic Boom.

You know, I think this is Sega's plan all along. Be so horrendously shitty that they take Nintendo down with them. It's like post-mortem revenge.

[Phoenix Dark]

30 minute right? lol

[Madrun Badrun]

yes

[Madrun Badrun]

no

[radioheadrule83]

If I hadn't already seen Nintendo shit the bed for the last two E3's I'd have said the stage was set for them to pleasantly surprise people here, but they have... and their messaging has been so poor over the last year too.

Either they've been saving things for this very kind of moment, or they are going to continue the general cross-platform industry malaise.

I am fingers crossed for bombs to be dropped, but not holding my breath

[radioheadrule83]

No Mans Starfox

Guys... I just remembered they're going to spend a lot of time trying to sell us toys with RFID chips in.

Shit I completely forgot about that, lol.

Thanks for the Star Fox news Oscar and Joe!

[radioheadrule83]

Wait I thought you were fucking with me

Getting hammered

edit: http://time.com/2850146/shigeru-miyamoto-nintendo-interview/

[demi]

In one of the games, which Miyamoto called Project Giant Robot, players control sky-scraping automatons, angling the Wii U GamePad in front of a TV screen while shifting their torsos left and right or up and down to maneuver the robot’s upper-body while thumbing the controller’s joysticks to punch or grab — almost like a full-body game of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. The GamePad shows you what the robot sees, while the TV screen offers a zoomed-back view, letting onlookers — as well as you — admire your tromping, pummeling handiwork.

In another, titled Project Guard, the GamePad became a quick-jump map of a fortress manned by numbered, laser-firing security cameras. As robots encroach on different entry points, you have to tap the GamePad to leap from camera to camera, blasting enemies that trundle or come at you sprinting — even some that sneak under your radar. All the while, onlookers can shout out the numbers that correspond to robot-threatened camera feeds, turning your defense operations into a frenetic, heart-racing, tap-and-fire scramble.

Time just took down the article so I've got a back up image just for you guys. Spoilered 'cause it's huge.

[bachikarn]

Sounds like it might be a downloadable episodic game.

[TakingBackSunday]

if that is whats showing instead of zelda, good lord

[magus]

Starfox announcement would hold a lot more water if they didn't whore out the IP during the Wii/DS era

[radioheadrule83]

Starfox sounds a hard sell. As do the other 'small' projects he's been working on. Robotic torso twisting? Helicopters in Star Fox? Could be genius instead of shit, but it sounds complex enough to have my expectations firmly in check

T-minus 1 hr 7 mins

[cool breeze]

yeah, star fox doesn't have a good track record.

[Takao]

Starfox announcement would hold a lot more water if they didn't whore out the IP during the Wii/DS era

They released a single StarFox game in the DS/Wii era. It wasn't really good, but you'd be pressed to say they were milking it then.

[Takao]

I read the title to that Robot demo and got excited thinking it was the return of Custom Robo. Instead it's digital rock 'em sock 'em robots ...

i didn't mean that as in that they released a lot of them, i mean that in that they gave the ip to rare first to make starfox adventures, then they gave the ip to namco to make starfox assault for the gamecube... then they gave the ip to (checks wikipedia) a dev i had no idea it even existed to make starfox command, they loaned the ip to everybody without any fuck given

the real news shouldn't be "nintendo is releasing a new starfox" the real news here should be "nintendo is making their own damn videogame"

basicaly what i'm saying is that nintendo makes fox cry

[Madrun Badrun]

I like how these 'games' are still under project titles like it is 2005 and they are still trying to show us the potential innovating game play of the wii.  Project look at what the wiiu can do 1,2, and 3.  To be sold for 40$ as Nintendo land 2 in 2 years.

[Phoenix Dark]

So basically Miyamoto has been working on tech demos. Again.

I do hope they bring back project hammer

[demi]

Starfox Adventures da gawd.

[Tasty]

English YouTube stream! Gonna Chromecast this shit to my TV.

[radioheadrule83]

I can't leave work until 5pm, so I am considering... only considering mind you, streaming it to my laptop in the car park and piping the audio out over the car radio. Just because that would be a whole new low.

(Image removed from quote.)

That dev you don't know is Dylan Cuthbert's company.  You might know him as the fucking creator of Starfox, you distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. 

Two GameCube games, one developed by an internal studio, and a DS game from more or less the team that created Starfox doesn't really sound like Wii/DS whoring to me.

allright, you know what, let's try a different approach... those games gave us this



i rest my case on nintendo not giving a fuck about starfox anymore since 2002 your honor

[radioheadrule83]

Krystal was alright. It was the bafomdads and krazoa spirits, the shitty Andros twist and game save that locked you into a final boss fight with no option for exploration. Game looked so good and sucked so bad! Beginning of the end for Rare.

[Himu]

Is that a magical space fox with breasts because uhhhh

[Joe Molotov]

ITT: We pretend like Starfox wasn't riddled with furfaggotry from Day 1.

[Joe Molotov]

I'm already in there, breh.

[mjemirzian]

Nintendo you were supposed to ditch the tablet not double down on it.

Watching on twitch, one minute in and it's already cringeworthy.

[Madrun Badrun]

It's on. 

[Beezy]

Corny comedy.

[Madrun Badrun]

Smash bros; the game they have been talking about for 3 years.

[a slime appears]

This is the best conference of E3.

[Cascade]

Nintenyearolds at GAF are passing out right now.

[Madrun Badrun]

Did he just sodomize mario with his sword? 

[Great Rumbler]

As do the other 'small' projects he's been working on.

Those two remind me of that sizzle real Nintendo showed off at the E3 before the Wii launched. The Wii U has already been out for 18 months.
