Star Fox was great.



Hands on impressions of Star Fox sound good to me. The graphics are basic because the game renders two perspectives at once, at 60 frame per second. I quite like the retro look, there are points where it looks too basic, but Starfox and Starfox 64 were all about simple, geometric vehicles in cartoonish environments. The mix of Platinum and Nintendo should result in another game, which, like Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2, I will enjoy.

So in short, on Wii U, I want/will consider buying: Yoshi, Devil's Third, Super Mario Maker, Mario Tennis, Xenoblade X and Starfox Zero. That's potentially six games in the next six months, so I'm ok with that.

On 3DS I want Fire Emblem: Fates, Super Jam Bros, Bravely Second. I'll keep an open mind on the Zelda/Metroid spin-offs and Yokoi Watch.

I was not impressed with Animal Crossing: Amiibo Party, which may as well be called Animal Crossing: Cash Cow. While I was expecting a lot of spin-offs, none of them have the promise of something like Captain Toad, which is disappointing. The lack of any truly big announcements is also disappointing, I was hoping for something like a new Metroid for the first half of 2016.

I don't understand why Nintendo felt the need to spend so long on Skylanders and the Yoshi amiibo, or that ridiculous Mario ending. That stuff felt like it could have gone in seperate videos broadcast ahead of the main event, which is something Nintendo should consider for future years. My expectations weren't high going into E3, because Nintendo have to balance supporting Wii U (a failed platform) and 3DS (a declining platform) against making the best possible preparation for the future of their hardware business (NX). In that light, I'd rather they stumble now than when they roll the dice on new hardware launches. And, as I said, there's a good line up of Wii U software to see me through 2015.



I will be getting Xenosaga for my WiiU, after that if Zelda U is still a thing (and not Zelda NX) I will get that.

However. The fact they did not show Zelda pretty much seals the deal it is not on the WiiU. It went from DEC 2015 release to not even being at E3.... pretty telling.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

Starfox looked like starfox to me, but in hi res... which is what i wanted. I didn't want it to loose its polygon look. It's not pretty enough to be another windwaker moment (Where I love the graphics everyone hates and it takes a decade for much of the gaming world to wake up to the truth). But the intentionally retro polygon look will probably age almost flawlessly.

I'm open about the controls. I liked Kid Icarus uprisings controls and many hated it. The controls to that game also allowed people to move and aim interdependently.

I didn't like anything. It was a waste of time watching it.

Nintendo is becoming irrelevant. There's no need for them to have a hardware for the kind of games they make. All of their games look like free to play games you easily find for smart devices. Even Star Fox looks like a 10 y/o product. Many small developers and indies humiliate Nintendo in terms of originality. It's baffling to see a multi billion company like Nintendo with a sea of mediocre and rehashed titles like this E3. Te same games they've been creating for the last what? 300 years? I feel ashamed for being a Nintendo fan. Please, go out of the hardware business and focus on small games for smart devices. You belong in there. Can I say "fuck you, Nintendo"? Can I? Will I get banned? Fuck it. Fuck you, Nintendo.

Doesn't get banned,

 

I get banned for calling Sony a graphics whore.

Confirmed at E3 Zelda is still in development for Wii U. At worst, it will be cross-platform. At best, it'll be another late Zelda for Nintendo's home console. 



Just a bit disapointed they focussed on 2015 and early 2016 and therefore we'd seen most of it already and no huge new games were announced. However,the new announcements weren't all bad:

-Star Fox looked very good, espcially in the Treehouse showing
-I'm looking forward to Mario tennis
-Zelda Triforce heroes is great, reminds me of the awesome 4 swords adventures. Seriously that game was not a 'traditional' Zelda but it was very good.
-Very excited about the Paper mario and luigi game

- 'Metroid' is not a metroid game, but it could still end up being a fun game. I haven't dismissed it yet

I loved hearing that Platinum is working on Star Fox Zero, although the visuals shown prove that Nintendo never had placed serious effort for the game and the rough demos from last year WERE the game and they probably only handed those off to Platinum this year and told them it had to be done in less then a year.
