The plush party member had some of the worst voice acting I've ever heard. It was like some old man trying to mock both the voice of Spongebob and some eastern-european accent.
Xenoblade might be a prime example of why voice acting in Zelda could actually really be an awful idea.

Not necessarily. That was dubbed by NoE, so it doesn't really tell us what a game dubbed with the NoA Treehouse's oversight would be like. Kid Icarus, which they oversaw, had really good voice acting, but that game's tone is pretty lighthearted. Conversely, Other M, a more serious game, has bad voice acting, but that may be because of Sakamoto's bizarre direction.

This is all irrelevant, though, because the Zelda game is going to be in Hylian.

Zelda is full of wacky creatures though, so that one character in Xenoblade was imo the closest to what Zelda might become if done wrong.

What I'm hoping for anyway.
 
My expectations:

Bayo 2 release date
Hyrule Warriors release date
Smash being shown off with new character announcement
Some 3DS games that look better than Wii U games
Not much else

They do sound really similar. It's hard to tell though since she's yelling in X.
I'm more interested in the English voices, though. Will NoE do it again or will NoA take over and have Steve Blum and John Dimaggio voice everyone?

I agree they sound similar. I'd rather they have voices that fit the characters IMO. Would love to have another Dunban though. He was great. Outside of one character from The Last Story I liked the voicework in that one. But John Dimaggio is awesome. Dude has range. And voices GILGAMESH so yay.

----------------

If I wanted any VA to make an English comeback it has to be Vangarre and Mumkhar though. I just love those gruff and tough voices.
 
Nintendo's been so up and down for me lately. Mario Kart looks great. The Smash Bros. Invitational is a brilliant appeal for core fans. But then they announce that this NFC garbage is going to infect multiple games, and there's the QoL resource hog looming overhead.

Overall, my expectations are really low. I just hope they don't do anything that would make me annoyed that I continue to support them. Such moves could include:

- NFC in any game I care about.
- DLC announcements for Kart or Smash.
- Confirmation of no voice chat in Smash.
- Announcement of an NSMB or Super Mario 3D Land game.
- Spending more than 15 minutes on QoL.

As long as they avoid this shit and just have a good Smash Bros. showing, I'm fine. Just give me Kart, Smash, Bayo 2, and let's pretend this generation never happened.
 
After finally getting the chance to play some of 3D World (it was awesome as expected), I don't think I could go back to the low res cramped 3D Land type game. And another NSMB game would just really be jumping the shark when they can release expansions like NSLU.
Like what?

Well, Zelda isn't confirmed, but after almost being shown last year, it would be weird if it didn't make an appearance this year. The 3DS has Pokemon and a few other 3rd party games that will get shown.

Well X, SMTxFE, Yarn Yoshi and NFC game at the very least.

I forgot about X, Yarn Yoshi and the NFC game fall under not much else for me. so meh.

Really? Isn't that Hyrule Warriors?
 
Hyrule Musou might show up and I think they will shed light on the Zelda U title. And maybe Fatal Frame U will show up as well.
 
There is that additional 3rd party Wii U exclusive thing that was floating around that so and so said would be another Bayo 2 reaction thing. I remain doubtful however.

No, the mainline Zelda was almost shown at last E3, so it should show up this E3. Also, Nintendo needs some enthusiasm, and Zelda is always a huge showing even with the declining popularity of the series.
 
I get the feeling a franchise is going to be coming back on Wii U. Whether it is Metroid, Star Fox, Ice Climber, Kid Icarus or something else I am not sure. It just feels like the right time for something like that to be shown now that their bread and butter games have either released or are releasing soon (besides Zelda).

You dont have to, I would though. We havent heard anything about since the direct it was revealed.

Fire emblem is more popular in japan. Remember how it took Totilo asking reggie about fire emblem? They didn't even bother showing it at the 3DS-centric show. I wouldnt be surprised if it gets saved for a direct or something later. Awakening was more popular than expected though, so who knows.

Gritty open-world Mach Rider reboot.

Questioning Iwata's competency as a CEO is subjective. Questioning how good Other M is is a fact—it's not good.

Very good game. It's a clash of game design though, they should've just gotten rid of some traditional Metroid tropes because they didn't make sense in this context imo, not a problem per se it's just redundant. The shifted gravity section was an unexpected delight.

For example the fact that you are stuck in 1st person mode isn't necessarily a bad thing because the boss designs are tuned with this in mind, and no the wiimote transition from 3rd person wasn't awkward it worked perfectly fine. Other M is like Mario Sunshine, a perfectly fine standalone title but not the direction you want the franchise to follow. The script was the only negative as I see it.

There was going to be one regardless smiles :P

All new Zelda games will be shitted on. Link Between Worlds was so great I'm looking forward to how a console Zelda will turn out.

Still won't be revealed me thinks, quote this post for E3.
 
Nintendo needs to update the Wii U and 3ds online interfaces merging Miiverse+Club Nintendo+Deluxe Digital Promotion+ Eshop. Bring these service together in a tighter package and if the 3DS incompatible keep working on Nintendo Online Network for the newest handheld. Nintendo should be adding to there online inferstruction a real shame they are losing Legacy Wii and DS networking.
