....yup. ANd im kinda hoping they will.


a part of me is hoping too. it will teach sony a lesson imo

Not about teaching Sony a lesson, I dont think Sony did anything WRONG. MS already LOST before they even got to th conference and that was on them. I just like having competition. I dont want one being too dominate over the other. That only benefits certain fanboys and even then only in their mind.



Around the Network

I like both Sony and Nintendo. I really only play on Nintendo handhelds and a few exclusives so I'm 95% a PlayStation guy. I can honestly say though if Nintendo announces a bunch of exclusives for Wii U, 3DS, better third party support and online they have it won.



FF being exclusive is no longer a big deal honestly

we shall find out what Nintendo has in hour and a half



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

what the heck are you smoking. There toast there is no way Wii U can compete with these next gen graphics. Wii U is last gen graphics which isn't bad if you want to hang your hat on that fine.



Yeah, MS had the games, sony DIDN'T have DRM BS - so there is a chance Nintendo can still win this. I'm predicting this:

They'll drop the basic model (8g)
$50 price drop (might be announced in another ND later this year)
Introducing a NEW ultra deluxe model: 64 gig HDD!
Mario 3D coming this year
Mario Kart coming this year
SSB4 shown (might announce it for next year)
X will be fully shown and gets a release date (at the latest next holiday)
Zelda: ALTTP2 gets a release date for this year
Zelda: WW remake gets release date for this year (Sep/Oct)
Retro's new game is a new IP (will release next year)
New IP from Nintendo
Sonic Lost World will be shown and gets a release date (for this year)
The third (and final) SEGA exclusive will be shown
Bayonetta 2 is fully shown and gets a release date for next Spring
Shin Megami X Fire Emblem will be mentioned in some fashion
Pikmin 3 will be shown
W101 will be shown

And Yarn Yoshi ofc!


But I'm not sure that's enough to WIN E3....



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

If they drop the price (hopefully bringing Ambassador games), announce a couple of 1st/3rd party games we don't know about and show more of the likes of X, Zelda etc. then they've got it in the bag.

Also, I don't think FFXV is exclusive.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Without Metroid of course not...



hhhmmm.... maybe. Both XBox and PS will have mostly the same games, and these are very good-looking multi-plat games. Both were kind of weak on the exclusive side of things in my opinion. Sony smoked MS on the price, but in reality PS4 will cost most users more than PS3 because of now charging for online. Sony got great PR with the no mandatory online and used game freedom. Overall, their presentation was much more slick than MS's.

With just minutes to go until the last show Nintendo could potentially win but they need a few things:
-Great exclusive unique games. Where the others were weak, Nintendo needs to shine.
-Respectable 3rd party support. Not everything, but a few key titles need to be there, especially COD.
-A deluxe price cut to $299. $399 is OK, $299 is better.
-Good PR. Nintendo needs to step out of their shell and flaunt the fact that they are the only service offering free online play. Just as Sony called out MS, Nintendo needs to do that to the other two. Especially if you can play Ghosts online on Wii U. It's great to be the free option, but only if people are aware. And they need to really sell what will make their console the best choice for consumers from a fun-factor perspective. A unique new title or something that really tugs and the nostalgia strings to wow the audience.

It will be interesting to watch.

personally, i think they need a few surpises and they can win this

I agree. I see KH3 being for PS4/Wii U, and FFXV for Ps4/XBone. 

And we shall find out what they have in 75 minutes.
