Not for me it aint, another hardcore Nintendo gamer lost.

That's got to be the biggest over-reaction I've seen due to their conference. 

Its not an over-reaction, there is such a thing as not liking a direction a company is taking. 



Around the Network

It's not over-reaction, they are obviously oblivious to what their fanbase want. Who would want that Metroid Prime? Or who would want that Animal Crossing? Why do they even exist? Why waste their resources in that? A presentation where its biggest previously unnanounced game is Mario and Luigi (no offense, I quite like them but...) can't be good. I respect all the opinions but I don't know how this presentation is defendable...



can't open vgchartz earlier and it loads slowly because of traffic. it is true no surprises on the likes Mario Galaxy 3, crossover games, etc...
decent because they have release dates for 2015 games. pretty weird on what would they do on FFV and D3rd if it is still 2015 or push further to 2016.



It was terrible, awkward, forgettable. I hate every new game presented, if those cash grab things can be called "genuine" video games, especially that Mario & Luigi Paper Jam thing.





My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

It's more like the fanbase is oblivious to the fact that the Wii U is a money-sucking, dead console. Nintendo needs to get out of that thing as fast as possible and that's what we've witnessed here today.

Now, I'm not defending this conference, it truly did suck; for me the 3DS showing sucked the most. Them moving on to better horizons (hopefully) in the NX did not make for a good showing and was quite lacklustre, I completely agree. But abandoning Nintendo because of a single conference? That is an over-reaction.

Star Fox looks fun (I don't care about graphics)

 


 sad that its come to this.  Star Fox used to be a technical focus in its time, the first being part of the few games that utilized super FX chips and of course very impressive showcase on N64.  

But we fans should not reward this type of behavior.  there are eshop games that look better than this for $20 and under, but watch Ninty charge $40 at the bare minimum, they should be ashamed with that poor effort. to make my statement im going to support affordable space adventures over this abomination of a star fox game.  star fox deserves more respect than this...

Nintendo is just too old, they need to get younger, fast, both in management and game development  teams.



That was the worst pile of shit I've ever seen.

Nintendo deserves to be struggling. This conference was nothing but a big fucking joke.

I seriously hope Iwata gets fired, this is unforgivable.

They had a FUCKING year to prep a decent E3, and that's what they came up with, especially after last year's conference which was really good. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

I admit that I have to think more about this, I'm obviously in a rant because that conference, as you said, sucked. Man, I expected such great things for this conference, and not a single one of they come to reality... I'm too fuckin' angry right now, sorry :(



I said for many months they were not going to give the Wii U a proper Animal Crossing, and that Zelda U will be on the NX (same thing that happened to Twilight Princess) and I think that's been spot on.

They're not going to waste games that could sell 3-6 million copies in different circumstances on the Wii U so this event was not that surprising to me.

But Star Fox 0 looks like Star Fox 64-2. Which is cool, I don't have a problem with that and am quite excited to play it. 



It could have been a lot better, that's for sure.

Starfox and Super Mario Maker looked neat though - in the Treehouse, not so much in the Direct itself. As for Mario Tennis, I'll hold my judgement until I see more about it. No Fatal Frame V was sad, but I guess that's due to voiceacting being in the works, japanese voiceacting in a game that got already released there a long time ago would have raised some question why not releasing it right now.

The 3DS was a bit better off with more new games, but again missing heavy hitters.

They should have put Earthbound Beginnings into the Direct and release the game directly after the presentation rather than releasing it 2 days before the show. Would have been instant awesome to finally get the game in the west.

Also some incoming Indiegame showcase would have been nice. If the big one are not supporting you anymore, then show the support you get from the smaller devs.

I can understand however why Nintendo is showing and developing more smaller titles lately: Big Titles like a real next Metroid or Paper Mario take a very long time to develop, and Time is something Nintendo sorely lacks since the big publishers are gone as that would create even bigger droughts than what they already have. One or 2 big games might still come to Wii U (unannounced ones, not speaking of Zelda or Xenoblade here), but they are forced to make smaller, faster to create productions to simply produce more games. It's the only way they have to be able to show a staggering 15 games with only one of them being a third party title.

That all said, I can't but praise the fact that they managed to show 15 titles, 14 of which ore their own creations. There just can't be much more in development in any showable state or japan-exclusive with the number of studios Nintendo owns. I do hope however we'll get informations about other new games througout the year as the other games near completion and release. And I hope next year's Digital Event comes with some heavy hitters.
