Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo are holding a 90 Minute Pokémon Presentation at E3? Also, already wins E3

90 minutes? Way too long for just X and Y...

They're up to something over there and I'm excited to see what it's going to be.

What they say is different from what they will actually do. I hope that they do give some of the spotlight to the Wii U, but lately Nintendo has been focused on the 3DS so that is why I have my doubts.

You have cause to be skeptical, but understand there is a difference between, "We'll get around to the Wii U eventually," and, "Set the date, this is the exact time and place we will be discussing the future of the Wii U."


I agree with you that they put too much focus into 3DS over the last year. But I think they've been fairly clear (if not subtlely) that they understand Wii U is lacking software, and thus sales, and it needs bigger visibility, and the other consoles are on the horizon. I wouldn't say they're in panic mode. But they're also not stupid. They know Wii U has only sold around 4 million consoles at most, when by this time it could have at least easily sold 5-6, with better advertising and more games. I had originally predicted (and felt confident it was a safe prediction) that Wii U would sell out 10 million units by the end of 2013. At this point unless there is a COLASSAL spike for Mario U etc., that is not likely to occur.

Still, they realize the problem, and are working to fix it. It was fairly obvious that they kind-of sort of got rid of the people at NOA who had been behind the horrid ad campaign at launch, and are now hopefully putting their full effort into a second half 2013 marketing rush aimed at ACTUALLY letting people know what the system is all about, and getting people enthusiastic about it again. That, combined with actual GAMES to get people excited and actually want to purchase the console.

So yes, I think there's a very strong chance that you'll see 3DS take a relatively quiet backseat this E3, and for the rest of the year. E3 onward is Wii U mode, because 3DS is doing just dandy, and Wii U is stuck in the mud.



That sounds really exciting, if they show a new Pokemon Stadium game for WiiU I will be extremely happy, but all the pokemon (maybe excepting some legendaries) should be available for rental and it should have lots of mini-games like Pokemon Stadium 2

P.S.: I hope they show the pseudo-legendary pokémon of the 6th generation, I've liked all of them, especially Salamence :)

This better not be for the 3DS only. I will be pissed if Nintendo just focuses on the 3DS this E3.


That is literally not possible. They know they need to promote the living shit out of of Wii U, and have already just about SAID that they're going to. 3DS has BEEN the focus for the past year+. Wii U's turn in the limelight is now.

What they say is different from what they will actually do. I hope that they do give some of the spotlight to the Wii U, but lately Nintendo has been focused on the 3DS so that is why I have my doubts.

I don't think it's that they're focusing on the 3DS, it's just a matter of timing.  It takes a while to develop software for a system.  Generally, a console will really hit its stride at the 2-3 year mark, and that's right where the 3DS now.  Devs are familiar with the system, they've had time to work on stuff, and so on. 

Just remember where the 3DS was at this point in its life.  About six month into the system's life, the biggest thing we had was OOT 3D.  Just takes time.


On topic, Pokemon Z for Wii U?



I haven't been this excited about an E3 in years! I really am hyped for Pokemon X&Y and the 4 Wii U home runs: 3D Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros. and of course, Mario Kart. I am going to have one heck of a time this year around.
