Smeags on 07 June 2012

3DS section has been updated with videos on the main games presented at E3.

Really interesting how Wii's last big game will probably be Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Is that game even being presented in the Nintendo Booth? I've only seen it being played on a PS3 so far...

And for the DS, Pokemon Conquest is being shown. That's... pretty much it for those two.

Thats disappointing really, expected at least something new.

Well, the showcase wasn't really a dissapointment. Nintendo had a lot of explaining to do with games they showed off last year so that's what they did.

I don't think Nintendo needs E3 to be a platform for announcements any more. They have other, cheaper channels to use for announcements. They used this E3 to sell the products they have coming in the next few months. Which is more cost efficient.
Have the show floor full of titles that are already announced and are coming to keep them in the market mind, and use Nintendo direct and their own press days and hands on events to show off the stuff that is coming afterwards.

The fact that they withheld announcements of stuff that is in localization but probably will be a holiday (for 3DS - read Fire Emblem) or 2013 title should be proof enough of this.

It seems that E3 as a whole is dying or at least being hollowed out.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I was kinda anticipating a BO 2 version for 3DS. I think that was what 3DS missed this E3.

Iwata approves that Non-Specific Action Figure had the best showing at E3!

I don't care if it is a forced meme...

Why even have a wii and DS booth if there is only one game in each booth? I know of a few Wii games they could have showed.

Which ones? The only candidate that comes to mind is The Last Story, which has been out in most of the world for a while now and which isn't even being published by Nintendo proper.

I forgot half those games even existed. Is Pandora's getting localized after all? And I'm pretty sure Fatal Frame isn't, probably because I'd actually buy it.
