X supports Nintendo
X makes the best games!
X doesn't support Nintendo
I don't care about X's games anyway, they suck!

Y multiplats on PlayStation

Y game gets adequate profit

Y game goes exclusive

Port Begging

Z exclusive on Xbox

Z is GOTG

Z goes multiplat

Z bores me.

Perhaps now you understand the love/hate relationship that Nintendo fans have with Nintendo itself.

Sadly, it may take at least another five years for fans of other console manufacturers to absorb this.

EDIT: Thumbs up on the diplomatic edit there

Isnt Nintendo funding Sonic Boom - or at least partially

The choice of wording is really curious. Most third parties wouldn't call them "Nintendo games", they'd call them "games for Nintendo platforms", because they're (in this case) Ubisoft games.

I can see five different ways to interpret the sentence. Other than the obvious, here are the other four:

1. Nintendo are going to be showing off our games on their systems.
2. None of our other games for Nintendo systems are in a state where we want to show them off, right now.
3. Our Nintendo-system games won't be at E3 - just streamed via the Digital Event.
4. The literal interpretation - it's going to be Ubisoft games, not Nintendo games. This one falls into the "NWR asked the wrong question, Ubisoft rep responded tongue-in-cheek and NWR was too stupid to either include the question or understand the answer" category.

Regarding that last one, think of it this way: NWR guy asks "What Nintendo games are you going to be showing at E3 this year?". Ubisoft rep sees opportunity, responds with "We won't be showing off any Nintendo games at E3 this year" and NWR guy doesn't pick up it.

So yeah... I'll wait until E3, see what actually shows up, and judge then. Unless some real media person decides to actually try journalism, and asks Ubisoft for clarification and a more direct statement (and let's be honest, there's no real media people in the videogame media... and not a lot in commercial media, either), we're just not going to know (short of Ubisoft clarifying it themselves).

Well Nintendo gamers, what did you expect when you refuse to buy 3rd party titles?

The amazing thing is it wasn't that long ago that Nintendo had promised "unprecedented" 3rd party support and cooperation for its next console at E3 2011... fast forward 3 years and even shovelware developers are hesitant to support the Wii U.

yeah Nintendo made a publishing deal with SEGA, which means that Nintendo paid them several million dollars or else this deal would've made no sense for SEGA as Sonic games sold ~1m on each 360 and PS3 per entry.

Why would they show the (most likely least succesful) version of an already realsed game that was already on previous 2 E3s ?

To help it sell of course!

It ends.

At that point, the game will have more than enough footage and trailers available. They should use their time on stage to promote new games
