Exactly. This Direct is just the straw that broke the camel's back, after years of game droughts and ignoring what gamers want.

I can't really deny that about the vita but to be fair, I believe that sony should just leave that market alone for awhile. Handhelds is nintendo's market. Maybe sony could revisit it later on when it's in a better position to take risks as a company. Truth be told, I don't follow the handheld market all that much.

Yes. Also, MS has the lowest amount of exclusives out of the big 3. They need to step it up in that area instead of trying to supplement it with limited BC or Windows 10. No one knows how good either will be until they are implemented fully. It needs to be treated as a gaming platform first then entertainment hub secondly. 

Maybe Nintendo should stop giving the fans those monthly directs? If they kept quiet about Fatal Frame, Earthbound beginnings, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Star Fox, SMTXFE, Smash Bros DLC, and all of the other things they've been revealing and filling us in on, and just delivered it all today, the backlash wouldn't be there.

Next month or so, they'll announce another one of those to fill everyone in on the Club Nintendo replacement, and some results of the DeNA partnership, plus more games.. and guess what?..

" WHY DIDN'T THEY SHOW THAT AT E3!! WHY AREN'T WE GETTING SPECIFIC DATES ON THESE NEW TITLES!?!?! WE WANT MORE DLC FOR SMASH AND MARIO KART PLUS THE NEW GAMES WE JUST GOT!!!!!"

Yup.

I don't really criticize because Nintendo fans put up with a lot:

- They pay good money for outdated hardware. Lets be honest, the Wii U is 2007-era technology being sold at $300-$350 (depending on when you bought in). The "New" 3DS is a joke hardware wise compared to any modern portable smart device.

- Third party support has literally whittled down to nothing but Just Dance and LEGO/Skylanders stuff.

- Amiibo stock headaches being really awful.

- Generally speaking we get 4-5 good games a year. Total.

- Nintendo has for the last ten years been chasing an endless array of gaming gimmicks (motion gaming, touch gaming for casuals, 3D glasses free, tablet/dual-screen gaming) rather than really just focusing on fresh new game experiences like Splatoon. They've become obsessed with chasing the gimmick formula rather than making sensible hardware decisions. 

At some point, people snap. Some people wanted just a Metroid or a Paper Mario, but when you're not even getting that, then I can understand why some people will say "enough is enough". I'll always love Nintendo and will buy Nintendo hardware as long as they make it, but I can understand the point of view of someone who has had enough. 

Let me see... You buy a console. You are having a good time playing with it, then a 50 min video show up and you throw your console out of the window... and that is not a childish behavior? ok

Not everyone was having a good time playing it. Thats the thing. The negativity with Nintendo has been building over time.

I don't think it's too early to refer to Horizon as a 'blockbuster' title. It's been in development for 4~ years by one of Sony's biggest studios, and the gameplay they showed was certainly that of a big budget AAA title.

the thing is about the sony conference in comparison to the nintendo one is that the 2 megatons don't even come out until 2017/2018 likely. The NX will be out by then. Shenmue hasn't even started development, FF7 has a FMV trailer.
what did bother me about the nintendo conference is the stupid AC game, and metroid. They didn't show a lot of things they could/should have.

Yeah the fan reaction is way over board. I mean it was underwhelming for sure. But hardly a disaster. It was weird that fatal frame and devils 3rd weren't in the direct (particularly fatal frame since it's trailer is listed as an E3 trailer both on the eshop and youtube), but i thought starfox looked pretty dope actually and why is no one hyped for XCX anymore? Or SMTxFE for that matter. I also don't understand the hate for that Metroid spin off (way premature guys, it could be good). Also once again Nintendo fans got them selves hyped for game that may not even exist (although I do think it is likely retro is make a new prime) and got pissed when they were shown something different, it's mario universe versus mario 3D world all over again (seriously we have learned nothing). Also does anyone know if anything new was announced at the live tree house event thing?

Nintendo had a poor showing, I don't blame people for being upset. Although some might be overreacting a bit.
