Predictions, anyone?
-
I hope a new Zelda. HD remake of Mario sunshine.
-
Zelda U and a new 3D, single-player Mario.
-
1) Announcement or Reminder of between 1 and 4 Nintendo franchises and their impending game(s) coming to Wii-U and/or 3DS
2) Lack of announcements or reminders of anything significant from any third party
3) Miyamoto dances to a dupstep rendition of Dancing Queen while playing the tambourine -
Zelda on pc!
-
Outside of what is already known I don't think we will see many surprises, hopefully I'm wrong. I do think we will at least get a short teaser for the new Zelda.
Would love to see a Luigi's Mansion remake with online coop announced. I believe next-level games are working on a new title for Nintendo, but may be a bit early for any showing. -
Pilotwings!
New Paper Mario -
The stock Nintendo games, Mario, Zelda, metroid.
-
-
Starfox! I hope we get more info on this "leak." Other than that, I hope we get some Gamecube VC news. Really, any news about any VC games. They are serverely lacking in that department.

I think my dream Nintendo games is a sequel to Metroid for the Wii U with 2D graphics, and not the 2D/3D style they've been using for New Super Mario Bros either.

What exactly does it take to make people happy? Sony and MS both spent a huge amount of time showing a variety of video games. Did you want them to send a hooker to your house to blow you while watching in order to make it an acceptable experience? Fucking gamers are the worst, I hate every single one of you all fuck goddamit fuck you guys fuck you all
-
[deleted]
-
I'm not sure about the "variety"...
-
The conferences themselves were both fine (although the free2play and TV segment in the Sony conference ground an otherwise awesome conference to a screeching halt). I think people are probably more pissed about the actual information conveyed - all three (Nintendo conf just ended) had great games but they were all 2015 which sucks.
-
What? I thought both of them had good conferences and the only next gen console I own is a Wii U.
-
-
-
Littlebigplanet 3 and Sunset Overdrive? Those are both coming out this year.
-
-
I thought we didn't like console exclusives
-
-
-
[deleted]
-
Exclusives are fine and all but there's also nothing wrong with cross platform games on the console you own. You are off your rocker.
-
-
Yup, I thought both conferences were good, with MS's being more interesting because they didn't have Corp Sony rolling in trying to spin up interest in their shitty movie/tv division.

I am totally buying all the damn figures. gg nintendo

Evil Luigi

DEATH STARE

I looked away and am so confused right now, are we going to have to buy these meebo things to get characters in Smash Bros? Please say no.
-
Lol mii Lincoln.
-
[deleted]
-
If that's the case, that will probably prevent me from ever buying a Wii U. Smash was the one game that would probably cause me to get one, but not if I have to deal with that stuff. Guess we'll wait on more info, though.
-
I don't think that's the case. I'm not sure what they do, but I'm pretty sure you don't need them to play smash.

OK so Smash Bros is P2W. " Each figurine will retain individual level data and beefed up stats for customized Smash characters -- this will include support for custom move sets."
FML-
That sounds horrible.

Dammit Nintendo, that sounds like shit.

Wait -- now I'm hearing that you can't actually control them. IDK what's going on.

The only reason Bayonetta 2 is happening is because of Nintendo. I'd rather have that than no Bayonetta at all.

Bayonetta 1 included with Bayonetta 2! Oh my god. Nintendo is KILLING IT so far.

Yeah that's pretty brilliant.

Nintendo won E3. Everyone else go home.

nintendo is knocking it out of the damn park for me right now
-
Agreed, they're showing a lot of good shit right now. Looks like there's actually a fair number of games I'd be interested in on the Wii U. Too bad about Smash though... really hoping it's not as bad as it sounds.
-
-
-
Well when they are made by Nintendo that all you really need. I am going to buy everything they have showed so far.
-
The Dynasty Warriors games are my biggest guilty pleasure. Really looking forward to this.

it's a 2015 release so probably not

Damn. That really makes me want a WiiU. Why can't this be for 3DS?
-
-
-
Which is definitely what they needed to do.
-
-
-
-
This really excites me. Enough to actually buy a WiiU. I just need stuff more than just the same Nintendo games over and over again. Different stuff like this or, hell, the open world Zelda, is VERY welcome!
-
-
-
I think they finally figured out what people hate about E3 press conferences. I want to see the games and whatever is in the middle better be entertaining.
-
Splatoon looks amazing!

I'm digging the Splatoon ideas here. Cool stuff!

That was a great presentation and I think much better looking than what Microsoft and Sony did this year. I hope all 3 companies prerecord their presentations for next year.
I only wish Nintendo's presentation was longer. They got me hyped and then ended it before really startling me with HUGE announcements. It also really shows how few third party titles there are for WiiU as well. :/ -
I was hoping to see a few more games in their conference. Way too short and I guess they can't get much in the way of third part support at this stage.
-
Man now I want one.
-
Still no mention of DQ7 coming to the US :(
-
-
So they're explaining the Amiibo thing right now, it looks like it's just an AI representation of that character, which gains experience over time. I suppose it doesn't really affect the base Smash game then, as you don't have to load up one of the Amiibo characters if you don't want to. Sigh of relief?
-
I can't watch it right now. What does the experience do? It feels like that could be kind of p2w
-
-
But it's an AI character, it's not the character you're playing as. So if you go to your friend's place and both of you play as Link, you both will still be playing as the exact same character. Apparently if you load up an Amiibo it might be able to assist you too? But again, no one is forcing you to load up an Amiibo. Just play the regular game.
-
From the sounds of it, it's actually P2L potentially.
-
You can play as Amiibo characters, but you don't have to and just play with the characters in the base game if you want. The Amiibo characters are the only ones who level up, have stats, and that you can customize the skills. But again, it's completely optional and you can just play with all the base characters available in the game if you want.
-
-
-
Yeah but, no one is forcing anyone to use an Amiibo, so if I want to purchase a Wii U + Smash it will essentially be the same style game I am used to from previous iterations. Don't have to deal with all the Amiibo crap, and won't be missing out on characters or getting my face stomped by Amiibo people. Maybe the online will be screwed up though, who knows.
-
-
If the amiibos are just some toy that levels up cross-games and then they make a completely new IP thats like an RPG with them i'm completely ok with this. If they somehow give perks to players playing smashbros this will completely destroy my wii u experience.
-
idk it's a much worse cash grab than Sony or MS announced for anything. Don't know why anyone's defending it's totally just to fleece parents.
-
I'm personally not defending, just trying to clarify that (hopefully) it doesn't affect the base Smash Brothers game. Don't have to buy Amiibos to get characters, or upgrade my characters. You buy them and watch them fight, essentially. Which I won't do and I will still get to play Smash just as I always have.
-
Fleecing implies cheating of some kind. Nintendo wants to enter a strong market and they have enough differentiating factors to make money with their take on the figurine-game genre. Most of us will not buy an Amiibo, and we won't be worse off for it because the games we buy will remain full-featured, not gated behind this figurine system.
There's no duplicity here. Nintendo wants to compete in a lucrative market.
-

Their timing is horrible.

I'm glad the new Starfox is on Wii U. Should look pretty awesome.

Looks like they are copying the worst Mario Party evar to WiiU....fucking Mario Party 9. Why not Mario Party 8? At least that used the motion sensor and was a ton of fun.
-
-
Yea, the hat guy was really annoying but at least 8 was competitive. 9 is a dumbed down version for babies. The fact that they completely removed the motion sensor part of the game, killed it for me and parties.
-
-
-
-
-
[deleted]
-
Really? I'm more excited by their lineup than anyone else's. Different tastes, I guess. This was a pretty bad year for traditional, AAA titles at E3. No sizzle.
-
I would say that Nintendo only had the best show IF you don't consider the indie games. The indie games coming to Xbox and Playstation look fantastic. But yeah, I'm more interested in Nintendo's first party stuff than another third person shooter or Assassin's Creed.
I would be excited by Yarn Yoshi, but I'm a afraid the level design and challenge won't be on par with the visuals. The latest Yoshi's Island on 3DS really disappointed on that level. I'd say the Kirby game and the Squid/Goo game looked the coolest.
-
they do the "good" thing of letting their software teams release "when it's done" but can't get their software and hardware releases aligned as a result. This wouldn't be insurmountable if they successfully filled the gaps with 3rd party releases and indie games but they still don't seem to understand what priorities are for developers outside Nintendo. They seem to have misread the 360 playbook and thought they could just release a year ahead of the pack and just get a large install base for free in that time.

how many were 2014 games though?

The conversation subtly changes between 'games coming out' to 'who is making money' ITT.
-

I get that. Still a funny turn in the conversation (if a little inevitable) when someone was just talking about the merits of the upcoming release schedules.
Gotta get that biz acumen into game talk, right?
-
-
-

Nintendo may be having a hard time with the Wii U, but they're not in "dire financial straits". They are no where close to that. Sony actually is, but you probably didn't know that. Nintendo is worth more than all of Sony and could continue to lose money at their current course and still be okay for the next couple decades.
-
[deleted]
-
Again, Nintendo may be having a tough time, but their financial issues are really of no concern at this time. They're consolidating shares too so shareholders aren't an issue either. Nintendo dropped like .. what 300 million? Sony dropped 6 billion. I honestly don't know what Sony makes on PlayStation. They're not in trouble there though they're probably not making anything on it since its the beginning of a generation. I don't know how the numbers work there. I haven't been paying attention.
The only point I'm making is that Nintendo is fine. They'll push a few big franchises out to stop the hemorrhaging and probably end the generation far better than people expect. A disappointment, maybe, but not a disaster.-
[deleted]
-
seemed like a pretty normal balance of all new vs known stuff to me
-
Nintendo gives more steady updates than everyone else. You had to have seen this coming giving all the Nintendo Directs they do. Last year they didn't even do a presentation for E3 which was probably a mistake. I'm sure they'll announce other stuff later in the year or give bigger updates during their Nintendo Direct monthly updates.
-
-
-
-
-
Nintendo is hardly in dire financial status, anyone that believes that has allowed themselves to given in to sensationalism by uneducated tumblr bloggers.
Nintendo is making money hand over fist on the 3DS/DS and still continues to sell Wii U hardware (not as much as they would like, but they are selling). Nintendo doesnt have
Lets put this into perspective:
Nintendo has roughly 7,000 employees ww
Microsoft has about 102,000 ww
Sony 147,000 ww
With Nintendos earnings, regardless of projected profit lost, are doing just fine financially.
-
-
kenclopz, your thoughts on this?
-
the other guys platforms are a year younger with an install base that's at/above expectations and growing healthily
-
-
-
-
The trouble is no console of this gen will be at the game production prime for another few years, really. 2016 on will be crazy but it is going to be somewhat on the dry side ramping up.
-
-
Seems like a poor choice to leave some announcements to this weird after-show.
-
Yeah they should have tossed more trailers into that video.

Jeff didn't like Yoshi's Island.

Mario Maker and Zelda U were the standouts, but I didn't see a single game in the stream that looked uninteresting. Very solid line-up; I just want to see more of everything.

Skyrim was pretty popular in Japan I believe.

there are places where it isn't
i guarantee you 100% that some fedora bro on neogaf will actually complain about how it looks too much like skyrim, and that they want zelda to continue in a more linear vein. it has to happen, somebody is going to be stupid enough to make a fuss about it.
-
-
-
-
For me.. that Zelda footage was more exciting than anything I've seen this year. I really can't wait for that. If I hadn't been hearing the death chants for the Wii U since launch I'd not have known it was in trouble from this presentation. Nintendo seems to have a lot going for itself right now.

I agree!

This would make for some good Shackbattles

yep, pretty clever, not sure how much of a long term mp community to reasonably expect though
-
Giant Robot is being demo'd right now. It's like a cross between battlebots and sumo wrestling. Looks like a fun experience as a small idea. Could see it being included in another game like Nintendoland.
-
-
-
-
-
I have a theory about this game now after seeing this.
Big Xenoblade ending spoilers! This game takes place on the new planet Shulk creates at the end.
Back to gameplay: Collectibles are back. Combat seems very similar. They mentioned that you cannot heal your other party members unless you get a "Soul Voice". That's the party boost in Xenoblade where you have to time hitting the B button.-
-
-
I like that the game tells you what part of the enemy you're facing now.
-
Arts can now double charge. If you let it charge twice, it has a different effect. Some are more powerful, some have different effects.
You can still spend BP to upgrade arts.
It looks like you can change classes to acquire different arts.
No falling damage. The jumping seems much better.-
I want this RIGHT NOW. Seriously.
-
-
I somehow missed that this is blatantly taking place in our universe, like Xenosaga and Xenogears. I don't remember if Xenoblade did.
-
Xenoblade Ending Spoilers It seems that Xenoblade did take place in our universe, but Zanza destroyed it. It was recreated with him and Meyneth as the new gods. When Shulk defeated Zanza, he had the choice to create a new universe, and chose to remake it without the need for gods. I'm thinking that this planet is the one Shulk created. We do know Shulk or Zanza are in the game based on the initial reveal.

I wish this dude was less terrible at playing this game.
-
The Wii U is the only system coming out with an exclusive RPG....
Everything is wrong.-
FF and KH being multiplatform is probably a good thing for the longevity of the genre.
-
Well I meant exclusive to consoles really, and I don't give any shits about KH and FF can really go either way for me. Witcher3 and DA3 are the only RPGs I had seen so far.
-
-
-
Welp, this looks properly mind blowing. Exactly what I was hoping for in a xenoblade sequel. I knew this along with zelda would be the killer apps for the system.
-
-
heh "AVATAR MAKE"
-
-
-
-
This plus Bayonetta have long been my "I'll finally buy a WiiU" games, and today's stuff has just made that much more viable. I can't believe how much bigger this looks in terms of scale and stuff like multiple classes.
-
-
-

yeah the first look we got at it looked boring but holy shit. Midna hookshotted teh fucking MOON

From what I can gather, with regards to Smash Bros, you can buy a figure of a character and use them in game. The figures themselves will level up, have stats, and you can customize their move sets. You can also completely ignore this aspect of the game and just play the base game with the base characters, so people who are screaming P2W need to calm down.
-
-
agreed. It's like raising a chia pet, if anything. I'm pretty confident that 1.) there will be a "No amiibo's" option, 2.) That if one player has an amiibo and the other doesn't, that the game will allow you to have a secondary character as equal as theirs, but that character won't keep it's stats. Nintendo's not going to ruin Smash Bros with pay to win and then destroy tournaments worldwide.
-
-
They're like Drive-atars, as far as I can tell. You play against them, or with them against the computer, or let the computer play them against your friends -- and they level up.
-
everytime i see this i think someone butchered my name. wtf.
