I really hope they can pull something out the hat.
My intention is not to burst anyone's bubble, but Mario, Zelda, Smash etc., I doubt is not going to have the impact some expect.
Nintendo need to surprise people with something really new, not the same old franchises.

These games obviously mean a lot to millions of people but I do not see journalist licking their chops over the same ole rehash on a weak system. At least the old franchises like Halo on the xbone is amongst the best eye candy available on a console so is worth talking about.

I believe this is part of the reason nintendo is being ignored. We all know what we are likely to get. Where is the suspense in that?

C'mon Nintendo. Give people more reasons to buy your console apart from Mario and Zelda and reasons why not to buy a $500 xbone or PS4 - whatever that price may be.


We almost didn't see anything innovative today so calm down. Most of the games shown today look like old experiences just with better graphics, I don't know how anybody can get super excited about it. (of cours there are special gems like the Ubisoft MMO)

Isn't Mario Kart bigger than both of them? :P

Having that game as one of the Best Buy demos would be huge considering the 30 million plus MKWii owners.

 


Mario Kart has had higher sales as of late, than 3D Mario. But an epic, HD, massive 3D Mario game that just blows minds and shits pants.....that will stick in people's minds more.

No offense but I think you are missing the point. We are talking about Nintendo getting noticed at E3.

It doesn't really matter if there was anything innovative today. The xbone didn't need anything special to get noticed or get people super-excited, they pretty much just had to show up. Same for the PS4. They are the new kids on the block.  Xbone obviously didn't impress you (to be honest it didn't really impress me either) but you are not the one writing the headlines.

The headline writers wanted pricing, release dates etc., That's what people want to find out and read about. It's the unknown.

Nintendo doesn't have that novelty. They need to produce something to grab headlines or at least some attention.

By the way i am very calm. i am about to go to bed. Just finishing up on some university stuff.

After watching Sony's stream, Nintendo REALLY needs to go all out.
