That console reveal was kind of terrible IMHO. Im not even close to fever level. I am curious to see how the tech will be used in games and how powerful the hardware actually is.

Well I wouldn’t expect you to say anything positive but why was it “terrible”?


For one they didnt show any actual games. Everything was a tech demo. Sure that Zelda looked great, but if thats not coming out anytime soon whats the point? THere wasnt that much info on it, we still dont know the actual specs. Third party support, showing footage of games running on ANOTHER competing company's machine and saying look at the support we are getting is crap. How about showing some ACTUAL games running on the machine. Vita did, hell 3DS did it.

What’s the point of showing of something that coming 5 years later? The point is to show how Zelda might look like on the system. Tech demos show how games could be played if you don’t see the points of these things well “what’s wrong with you”?

Some developers had games running on the system within 5 weeks like Darksiders 2 developer but Nintendo chose not to have it playable on the show floor. Why is that you ask? Well I don’t know, that’s just something Nintendo choose not to do.

The point with the conference was to show what and how the system can be used. And to assure the “hardcore” gamers that whatever the PS360 has today can be done on WiiU and a lot more.

If you as a company don’t yet know what the systems final specs are going to be then you don’t say until you know. Why promise something and give you less or say that the system can only do this and disappoint people for period of time and then say that it can do more? That’s bad marketing and will only hurt them in the end.


My point is NO actual games were shown. I dont really care that they showed how Zelda "might" look like, I want to see what actual games they are making in the pipeline. ANd as far as I saw, they have zilch. If you are impressed by a bunch of demos that wont even amount to actual games, then more power too you. You reveal, you better show games

Some developers, yeah sure. Why were they not there, it would have been a hell of alot better than showing stock footage of games running on other systems. Why would Ninty NOT show footage, it makes no sense. IMHO there probably wasnt anything too show. I'll believe it when I see it.

Not quite sure what PS360 have to do with Wii U, but it would be sad if it wasnt able to match consoles that came out years ago. Not sure why you're trying to turn it into a "hardcore" gamer thing

Then why show anything??? You're showing off what is essentially a product not even close to completion?? But you know what, the way they did it was better. Or they could have just waited for the next e3, but whatever.
