Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo not holding traditional E3 press conference this year?

RolStoppable said:

Nintendo held no Tokyo Game Show keynote in 2011, but right around that time got the news out that Monster Hunter 4 is going to be 3DS exclusive. With a precedence like that, you might want to reconsider your position that no conventional showing equals no big news.

Capcon shoed MH... not Nintendo.

I'm sure the the others conferences will shows games for Nintendo like every year.

There's only one person here having trouble understanding right now, and it's not me.

Come on. Let's bet on it. Nintendo unveils at least two as-yet unannounced titles during their E3 conferences, which include Nintendo Direct presentations airing within two weeks of E3. AND they will receive press coverage in 95% of the publications covering other E3 news -- how that will work is, you show me one publication that discusses Sony and Microsoft's conferences but not Nintendo's, and I'll show you 19 publications that do include Nintendo in the discussion.

I can bet with you... sig control for one week or more but I'm not saying games will not be announced by Nintendo... I'm saying the media cover for Nintendo will be way small than if they have a standard conference.

What happend in E3 that Nintendo will do this year happened every year... alwasy happened for any company... Nintendo is just removing the biggest part of it, the conference itself.

This is a big loss... and I guess they removed it because they haven't enoght new to share in a 1,5 hour conference.

My bet is the same plublication that have 5 pages for Nintendo conference in latest year will have only 1 page for the games this year... that is my point.

Im sure that was about the time Nintendo wrote Capcom the check, im sure Capcom did not do the game out of good will.

How is this relevant to the discussion? I guess you are still bitter that it happened.

Yes,  I'm bitter about a company who is well known for breaking promises on game exclusives.  Im sure nintendo held no Tokyo Game show keynote in 2011, because kinda like whats going to occur in 2013, they had nothing to show for their main home console.

But nintendo will have 3 conferences that will total more than 1.5 hours, so i don't understand your argument.  I mean, Nintendo had so little to show last year that they filled it up with shovelware, do you honestly believe that Nintendo had less to showthis year than last year?  i mean they had what, 3 first party games at last years conference, and they have around a dozen games(i don't remember the exact number)  of announced but not shown games that will be shown at E3 thus far, plus retros new title and miyamotos new ip, and anything else they haven't revealed(and this doesn't include 3ds stuff), that's at least 4x as much content as last year.  Yet you claim they wont have enough?  i don't understand your argument.

Nintendo has games. Do you think they slacked off the whole year and are just starting development on WiiU titles? I know skipping E3 is a bad move, but frankly, if you think it's because they don't have enought titles to show, it's laughable from your part.

Not to mention it's baseless and YOUR OPINION.

Ok E3 will prove who is right... MY OPINION or your FACT.

You can't prove that with E3 beacuase the change is already done.

Do you have leaks from Nintendo? Are you a major executive and know about their upcoming games?

ethomaz, you clearly aren't able to keep up with the discussion. Go home.

Me? For now I'm the only having a reasonable discussion here... it is becaming hard to understand how can anybody defending Nintendo for skip the E3 conference.

For me No E3 conference = No big news enought to hold a conference.

That is BAD and not GOOD like some guys here in the forum thinks.

No one is defending them for not holding a conference. We are ridiculing you for thinking it's because they have no games to show.

So you think nintendo has Wii U games ready  (or havent slack off) when

1. they are having trouble releasing their own first party launch window titles

2. Iwata mentioned that they are understaffed

3.Have a big concentration of people on 3DS development

Ok.

Actually. They have not attended TGS for a while.

They don't have enoght news to hold a big conference... that is bad.

Next year they will do a big conference again and I will be proved right.

Ok.

Ready to show is different that ready. Also, a drought can't last forever. Honestly, considering your attitude, it seems you don't want them to have any games ready.
