| teigaga said: No, Nintendo approach to E3 was terrible, the press hated it, the general consensus from the what I've seen and from what I feel myself is that Nintendo completely diflates the power of all their announcements. Some feel that they didn't have enough to show for a conference but they did, they just should have refocused it! Non of their announcements were surprising but Nintendo has allowed people to overlook some of the best games in their line UP They could've started on the 3DS showing off brief trailers of upcoming titles. - -Bravery Default (western version) -New pokemon trailer -kirby -Zelda 3DS. Then transitioned from Zelda on 3DS to WinkWaker HD on the Wii U -WindWaker HD small trailer -Pikmin 3 trailer -Wonderful 101 stage demo. This game has the best use of the touchscreen to date, show the damn thing off! -Donkey Kong Reveal trailer -Super Mario World 3D, with an entire 4player stage demo with miyamoto etc -Smash Bros Wii U announcement trailer -Beyonetta 2 live demo (the game looks freaking nuts, I wasn't wowed until I saw the E3 floor demo) -Mario Kart 8 trailer - X live demo!!!!!! They need to make a big out of this game, it looks 9 incredible , save it for last tell everyone to please be excited for slayage. |
The POINT of the E3 ND was to show off Wii U stuff, not 3DS. The focus was on Wii U, as it should have been. And the only reason, at all, that some things "weren't a surprise", is because Nintendo had revealed/mentioned them in earlier NDs this year. If they hadn't done that, which you could argue they shouldn't have, then there would have been a lot of surprises. BUT, part of the reason they showed some of this stuff like Sonic, etc. early, is because of their release schedule drought, and them wanting fans to know shit IS coming. So it was a Catch 22 situation.
There's also the fact to consider that maybe they simply didn't have any of the other games they're working on ready enough to show, and they certainly won't be out this year, so why bother?
