I knew Nintendo would fly under the radar without a conference but nobody listened, and Nintendo fans swore it would be no difference and it would have a lot better coverage on gaming sites.... sure lol. I don't find X at all impressive and it's exclusion from the list is irrelevant. What upsets me is the OP stated that "X looked better than most next gen games", what were you looking at? Because every next gen game shown at both conferences blew X completely out the water.


There are PS4 games missing from the poll also. There is also SSB on the poll so how is it that Nintendo is under the radar and they acknowledge that Nintendo was there by listing a game?

Well X isn't actually here in any capacity that I've seen. Are any of the other games that actually made the list in a similar situation?

Are Smash, MGS 5 and Sunset Overdrive playable? Those games are on the list.

Smash is playable, Sakurai had a 1vs1 match with Mario and MegaMan against a reporter.

Yeah I saw that, but is the game playable for the public?

That may be true, but I sincerely doubt that Halo will be there, for example. And other games as well will be in a similar scenario. Coupled with the fact that no PS4 exclusive is on the list at all, nor is Super Mario 3D World or Mario Kart, yet Skylanders is...you have to question their decision.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

could be because it is not playable? are all the mentioned games playable?


Sunset Overdrive and Smash Brothers were not playable. Also its a people's choice award so its not about which games were playable its more about how much people liked a game the most that was shown.

Super Smash Bros. was playable.

Halo is there and it was just a 30 second trailer. The poll is not about which was playable its a people's choice poll. Majority of the people voting never had access to any of these games anyway.

E3 public. I only saw this demo where Sakurai is playing with that guy, but I haven't seen a booth where people go in a line to play the game.
