This! You're totally getting where I'm coming from!

Let me ask you something. Does 2 games really make you hate Nintendo all of a sudden? With 1 disappointment comes an amazing game (3D Mario and X). One of this "disappointments" looks amazing (I'm talking about DKC Freeze here), yep Retro could have made something else, but does that make DKC a bad game? A game you aren't going to enjoy? 

I don't hate Nintendo, but I am disappointed. And 3DWorld isn't amazing - it's basically Mario 3D Land U. I'm VERY sure it's a great game, but it's not what 3D Mario is about. 3D Mario is about re-inventing Mario (Mario 64 - Mario SUnshine - Mario Galaxy). I'm not saying these games are bad; I'm positive they'll rock! But it's the lack of new ideas that bugs me.

No "megatons" were shown, but as a Nintendo fan you should already know that Nintendo NEVER comes out with "megatons" (Bayonetta 2 being the only exception in recent memory).

Sonic Lost World is a megaton imo. And he got like 2 seconds of gameplay...

No new IPs were shown, did you really expect a new one coming from Nintendo, outside of the indie side? The "Miyamoto's new IP"? which btw is most likely going to be an eshop game.

Yes, I was expecting a new IP. They always brings a new IP every gen. Just look at the Wii-series.

No third party support? that has been the case since the N64 days. Not even the Wii level of success was able to make the system have decent multiplat games.

Yes and that sucks, all the more reason for Nintendo to innovate/re-invent.

I think your "hype meter" was waaaaay too high before the conference. I was hyped myself, but I understand how Nintendo works and what to expect from them. Yes, there were thing about the conference that I didn't liked, but it no different than other conferences. 

yup.

Or you are saying that Smash, MK8, X, Bayonetta 2, DKC (but not looking at it as "Retro's game", but the gameplay itself) and WW HD did absolutely nothing for you?

They are ALL great games - I'm sure. I'll love playing them. What is missing are the new IDEAS - the re-invention.

As a Nintendo fan you should already expect how Nintendo works and what they do. Like Rol said, Wii U is the next GC, and that's how it's going to be. Be happy with what Nintendo is offering (as long as it doesn't look mediocre), don't expect to be happy with everything, doesn't matter if you are a Nintendo, Sony or MS fan.

My expectations are in line with how Nintendo works. They always brings new ideas to their franchises. Did not see that.





I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
