Forums - Gaming Discussion - E3: Nintendo WINS!

I can't believe you guys are giving Nintendo such a hard time, this is one item that you as gamers should be happy about. Its like Analog sticks vs the directional pad, it just makes sense. This change is completely hardcore in nature.

1) removes almost all on screen clutter, IE the radar, maps, ammo counts etc
2) privatizes certain information for vs modes. Like the different plays in madden.
3) a finer level of control with a touch screen. Its not like it requires big movements like the motion controller or the balance board its a friggen touch screen.
4) They are giving you HD and apparently they have an online system installed this time.
5) The system may actually be more powerful than the PS3 and that fucken system was already overpowered for its time.

the only reason why nintendo didn't win was because of how Reggie trolled everyone with that Pokemon announcement(damn pokedex 3D...was that even worth talking about...he broke my heart)



Am i the only one who thinks that the Wii U looks kinda stupid?

You are not.  But I don't think it looks stupid, just odd.  The tablet could be cool, many variables for the future though.



I would give it as Sony 5/10, Nintendo 5/10, Microsoft 3/10, Ubisoft 1/10, did not watch EA. Nintendo wins because they sucked the least.

Yeah they definitely won but just barely.



Its all about opinions and my opinion is they didn't have the best.



nobody won IMO..they all showed games we basically knew about...kind of a snorefest....Microsoft started the show off with Single Player Call of Duty..like we don't know how Call of Duty plays already?? If anything show the multiplayer, thats what most people are interested in (at least thats what i think). Same thing with the Gears demo..again, we know how Gears of War plays..do we really need to have this at a press conference??

Same thing with Nintendo..they showed Mario Kart, New Mario Bros, Kid Icarus, Starfox, Resident Evil..granted we didn't really see footage of some of these games before E3, but still we knew about them and weren't surprised at all when they were shown. They unvielded the WiiU, but never actually showed the console and what it's capable of. They only showed the controller and most people were left scratching their heads after the conference to figure out what exactly WiiU is. How are games going to be played on this? I figured out more about WiiU after the conference when Reggie was taking questions than i did watching the press conference.

Same can be said for Sony in some ways even though i think they may have had the "best" conference by showing off the Vita with some good games to back it up..yes uncharted looks great for PS3 and the demo looked great, but again do i have to watch a demo being played at a press conference where im expecting big announcments to made and new games to be shown? Do i have to watch Kobe play nba2k12 for like 5 seconds with the "all new" move controls where all they showed was pointing and passing.?? If i want to see footage of a game being played ill just go to a video game site and watch it there instead of watching a 2 hour confernce.



"If new things are so great, where have they been the whole time?"

Nintendo gave me no reason at all to buy a Wii.

You hit the niail on the head with that one. E3 all around was kinda dissapointing.
