Maybe next time everyone shouldn't break their hype meters, eh? This is what ruins everything, you expect too much from a company that hasn't given much at all recently. Conference wise.



Around the Network

I think they have a very short term plan, but they are missing the long term hype. Yes, Donkey Kong looks great and is the next game on the pipeline, but you need to get people excited about the future, many players buy their consoles for the games that will come in the future, not only the ones available right now.

This was a great opportunity to show something else, something very few gamers were aware of, like X from Monolith soft, or something really new that will show that the console has a bright future ahead and is worth buying now for what is out, but also for what is to come.



Nintendo failed at VGX

BUT

More importantly Squeenix why is my PC version of Tomb Raider crippled by shitty ps360 tech. But at the same time "1080p nextgen needed to get better faces and better textures and more polygons etc" seriously they better make the PC buyers get the definitive version upgrades for free.



Good thing I love DK :D



Well good news is that in hindsight, VGX overall has been genuinely terrible.. so Donkey Kong being shown is pretty par for the course.

I'm pretty sure this was iwata's idea, just like DK game. Reggie is just a puppet. We are now dissapointed, just like they will be when they see holiday sales. Yeah, but let's ignore the Wii success and announce shit nobody cares rather than Zelda/Metroid/3DMario like the Wii announcement that everybody was hyping, let's 2d the 3D mario series because there aren't other 2d mario options on the console, let's delay games.


I actually think it's more like it was Reggie's idea.  It just seems like something Reggie would do.

If that so, this proves again how he's pretty bad in the marketing area.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Was this the SUPER GIGA ULTRA MEGAVERSE ULTRAVERSE MEGATON that nintendo fans were talking about?

People are pissed because they didn't get a Zelda or Metroid announcement. You all realize these games are going to come eventually right? People are mad simple because of 2 reasons:

1) "Core" gamers will use this to mock Nintendo, which pisses off some Nintendo fans. Which shows just how people take the internet way too seriously, but I digress.

2) With all rumors people simple got too excited, it's your own fault to believe all these rumors and expect too much from Nintendo.

I'm a Nintendo fan, and I understand the reveal was disappointing, but just like the previous E3 people like to take things way out of proportion, I know this because it happened to me with the 3D World announcement, but I learned my lesson.

So basically, people are mad because Nintendo didn't show Zelda, nothing more, nothing less.

P.S VGX is crap so it doesn't really matter.

I expected Mario Kart 8 or Yarn Yoshi, and I'm still mad.



Yeah they lost a chance to shine. But, the show is beeing a disaster all around, so its not making such a big difference. Theres nothing from Microsoft and nothing from Sony, at least so far. The best stuff is actually indie.
