Lets just think about what was shown at E3

Metroid BS

Star Fox

Mario Tennis

Zelda 3 Sword Adventures

Of those, only two were made by Nintendo, and none of the two was the only game that looks like time may have been spent on it (Star Fox U). So what the HELL has Nintendo and Monolith Soft been doing for the past year? Was every single freaking team working on Zelda U?.... What the fuck.

I was not aware that games that were not newly announced this E3 were not being worked on nonetheless. I guess games like Xenoblade, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, STEAM, the Zeldas, etc. worked on themselves?

Well they are. And it looks like it going to be a home console of some sort.

"Speaking to Eurogamer at E3, Metroid Prime series producer Kensuke Tanabe said that due to the amount of content such a game would require, it would probably take several years to develop.

"If we started for Wii U now, it would likely take three years or so. So it would likely now be on Nintendo's NX console"

denial! they dont want to feel foolish that they bought a console that got a short life?

Well, to be fair, I don't think anyone was planning out it having a short life. But like I've said many times before; pissing off some fans versus staying in the game is an easy choice and all signs are pointing towards a replacement very soon. I'll stick with holidays 2016 for new hardware.

same it might slip into spring 2017

I missed the Nintendo e3 because I had to go out for that hour. Just a quick glance at these threads made me decide not to even bother watching it.

I hope they redeem themselves with a decent Direct soon, packed with stuff that should have been in the Digital Event.

Wouldn't it be better to move Xenoblade to NX.

I say to move all future games on NX but to refund also 10 million console owners * 300 $ = 3 billion $

So it seems like the only two studios unaccounted for are Retro and GameFreak. It seems like this E3 made everyone forget about games released beforehand.
