Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo brought the games like everyone wanted - So why the complaining still?

Even with all those games, Wii-U will sell much less than Gamecube and has nearly no 3rd party support at all. I complain because I care and want Nintendo to be the Nr.1 again, to overtake Sony and Microsoft worldwide.

But that would require a totally different strategy that embraces 3rd party developers and helps them to market their software. It requires to shrink and drop the tablet, to reduce the price (Wii-U only competes with PS3 and X360 harware-wise, so the price must be able to compete too.) and to develop games for an older audience.

With another system, you get 3 or 4 great games to choose from every month, with Nintendo you only get one every 3 months and have no choice at all. That is why the overall sales are so low and bad.

And last but not least, Nintendo needs to build competitive hardware again and not 7 year old crap. 3DS is running so badly because every 50$ mobile phone has better graphics and higher resolution.

Don't really care, they had a great E3. People will always complain. We know that their show was really good, probably the best. Nintendo moves to their own beat, and I will always be grateful for that :) For instance, Splatoon may be the first and only shooter type game I purchase. Don't really identify with CoD dudebros, but Splatoon looks like something I want to practice and get decent at :P

I see that you still don't get how this whole thing works.

As long as you and I are happy. That is all that matters Rol. I am glad the Wii U has finally been accepted by you. This was a great E3!


Only Nintendo fans are Happy but not interesting enough for bringing new users to their platform.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

I liked Splatoon. Am I looking forward to it more than Zelda, no, but I am looking forward to it.

Yeah, me too. I'm looking forward to this more than Zelda, but only because I know Zelda will be good and I'm a lot more curious about future news of Splatoon. I really want this to be a polished and high-quality game. The graphics look good so far!

I don't know, Nintendo gave us probably one of the best E3 experiences, They did something other companies never did. They had their show go over for over 20 hours of showing gameplay, cool events, announcing new IPS and such while the others did their typical conference and then pretty much went home. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony and Microsoft copied these kind of events for next year.

Yeah, I really loved the Robot Chicken sketches. Most entertaining "press conference" for sure. I was bored by the other conferences even though gamewise they were comparable to Nintendo.

That's funny,  because when I look at Microsoft or even Sony(At least for the rest of 2014 and early 2015, Uncharted looks awesome tbh), I see nearly no 1st party suppport at all. MS's exclusives just make me yawn.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

My main disappointment was the fact that we didn't see much of Zelda. I wanted to see more. A 3 minute trailer showing off the different gameplay elements, the different environments not just the 'Hyrule Field', at least something on the GamePad integration etc. It left me with more questions than answers.

The other disappointment was the fact that there were too many games slated for 2015 release and not enough for this year. While it was nice to see Star Fox confirmed i wanted to see some gameplay footage. Nintendo should have started this game earlier instead of just 10 months ago. We've all been making noise about this game for years prior! Im not really into Smash so the only game I'm looking forward to this year is Captain Toad.

Nintendo need to step up their efforts to counteract the lack of 3rd party titles.



Most people would still have to buy a additional console to play those games, and that system is still $300. A $200 Wii-U without the gamepad would have been bigger than any of the announcements they made.
