E3 2014 | Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 [ it's over :( ]

I'm not so sure how fun the game can be, but I really like the aesthetics of it. The screens with minimal info, the weird graphics looking like something from back in 2000, the bird that can pick up the camera. I really dig all that.
 
This seems like a fun party game. Person with the GP looks away from the screen while everyone else helps. I can see this and Giant Robot being a part of some sort of Nintendoland type of compilation.
 
They've stressed multiple times that these games are early in development, so I wouldn't really worry about how these games look right now. I think the concepts are really cool.
 
If they make a NintendoLand 2 these would be PERFECT for it.

Or if they were like Steel Diver: Sub Wars and just nice little eShop games.

People saying these games look like crap and they won't pay full price of them don't seem to grasp the idea of "early conceptual demo" or how Nintendo has made games for the past 30 years.

So this is the kind of thing that I don't get about people who complain about Nintendo games - They do try something different, maybe it's not mindblowing but has a fun hook and is unique - it gets dismissed immediately while watch dogs sells 7 million copies.

I don't think people even know what they want or how to evaluate things that don't have explosions or MTV style camera cuts.
 
Very much "you had to be there games." It's like demoing Mario Chase, it doesn't click until you actually play it with a group of friends.

I hope because Robot looked really bad

"I don't like this genre, so his career is over". That makes sense.

I was being a bit facetious, but anyone could have come up with these two ideas. If an Indie studio was presenting either of these two games 90% of people would have turned off the stream by now. There's nothing special at all about either, no genius design to either.

You expect more from Miyamoto. These projects were seriously hyped, so this is some seriously underwhelming shit. My take is that since Pikmin he's basically being in such an oversight role that all he has time for personally are these little side projects.

If that's the case, then that's sad, and then it's close to being over for him as a proper game designer / director the way we used to consider him. Remember that the dude's 61. He doesn't have long left from a career point of view.
 
Project Guard looks more fun than the Giant Robot one for me. I love tower defense games and it looks like a pretty good take on it too. Simple concept but looks like it works out really nicely from that demo.
 
Eh Project Giant Robot and Project Guard are interesting concepts but I don't see them sell well and I'm afraid they'll be Nintendo eShop games that will be overshadowed a few weeks after.
 
The Treehouse is proving to be super successful. I mean almost 100k people still watching it on twitch. 40k watching on youtube
 
Price these between $10-$15 on the eShop and I could see it being a moderate success. These games seem like fun, local co-op orientated messes, and sometimes those are the best with friends.
