Forums - Nintendo - After a few days since Nintendo's NX release date/E3 plans, Has your opinion on these plans changed?

Nope. Missing Christmas is only a bad thing (I simply can't believe that three months will allow them to finish up any games when their "launch window" games usually take upwards of a year to release and everything they do gets delayed six thousand times). No NX at E3 is purely stupid. You've got a ravenous audience at E3 and there's literally no reason why you shouldn't capitalize on it. Then Zelda being delayed again proves their ineptitude when it comes to development times and also leaves me feeling betrayed and regretful that I shelled out $350 for a machine that I assumed would one day play the new Zelda. (Joke's on me, I guess.)

So no.... I'm still pretty upset. It was nothing but bad news.

Good find, looks like they didn't specify so there's a tiny bit of hope they can have demo booths showing trailers for other games.

 

That doesn't makes sense though, why have trailers instead of playable demos?



Nintendo just seem extremely incompetent and out of touch to me, and the more time goes by the more i am convinced by that

Show me the concept, show me the games. If both are good, i don't care if it is at E3 or not as long as the content is good and the console isn't comparable to the Wii.

Okay I read it, and my question remains the same. There's no logic having trailers where demo should be. Okay maybe if the game isn't physically in playable condition yet (though the trailers are kept in the presentation, not wasting precious floor space), but Sun/Moon and Color Trash are releasing this year so they're definitely in playable form. Why have a trailer on the floor for them inplace of a demo?

Zelda is the only playable game at showfloor. If any game is there besides it, then it won't be playable like playable demo. Unless Nintendo considers playable demos as something different than playable games. Which is silly because the Zelda Wii U on the showfloor will be a playable demo itself.



The fact that Zelda will be the only playable game at E3 still sounds like an extremely bad idea, and I honestly can't say that I'm excited at all for Nintendo's Digital Event.

Heck, I won't be surprised if they don't have a digital event nor a press conference this year.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

My thoughts are the same as they were a few days ago, I mean we haven't really gotten any additional news yet so there's really not much more to say.

I don't think they'd go that far. I mean if they had a Pokemon Direct then I don't see why not they couldn't do a Zelda Direct. It definitely won't be as long as their traditional E3 ones but they might as well to maintain some formality and presence.

So... what, the reason they're gonna have trailers over demos, is because Zelda U is the only demo Nintendo is allowed to present for some reason, so to show off their other games it has to be through trailers? Naw that doesn't sound right. If Nintendo was gonna have other games on the showfloor it'd be through demos, but they've clearly decided on their own to have Zelda and only Zelda on the floor. No other demos, and certainly no trailers.
