Is it me or are we starting to see the third-party support that Nintendo anticipated would be there six months ago?

There has been a lot announced in a short time frame, before the big announcement summit.

Mike from Morgantown

Yep.   Nintendo gave them all a very long window to get some high quality titles in and they missed it; mostly.

Now they may end up competing directly with Nintendo once again.   Hopefully they'll put some actual marketing and retail support into those titles so they won't get marginalized so much.

 

Alot of us said this flood was coming.  I'm just glad to finally see the dam breaking.

Yah Nintendo pretty much tossed in its cap last year. Giving third parties a chance to be unchallenged by Nintendo's first party catalogue. But third parties didn't take advantage of the drought their was barely anything worthwhile coming out all year. Now hopefully Nintendo is back at this years E3. I'm looking forward to seeing some new Nintendo first party content. If Nintendo holds back again to give third parties longer to go unchallenged I'll be sorely dissapointed.

Then again every year Nintendo holds back is another year of development on those core franchises. Eventually Nintendo will have to release all these games they're not announcing. When the flood of Donkey Kong's StarFox's , Zelda's and Mario's come third parties will be destroyed!

Wii get Huge

*shrugs*

Wait, you realize Wii Get Huge was a joke, right? It's not a real game.

 

Also, TC, you should probably provide links to each story, just in case people want more information.

So....do Pre-E3 third party announcements factor into "X company" wins E3? Or is that simply left up for 1st and 2nd party announcements only?

If this is a joke (and I am positively sure it is), it's not even funny.

"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
