E3 2015 | Nintendo Digital Event
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
to be fair, aside from release windows, the time spent on Xenoblade, FE If, and Yarn Yoshi felt like a waste because it's shit we all know already. Xenoblade's out in Japan. FE IF's out in 8 days. Yarn Yoshi's out next month.

Nintendo just Vita'd the Wii U. After X and Zelda Wii U, I'll burn the console and dance on its ashes

Good conference overall, probably my favourite actually surprisingly!
- Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam looked like a fun romp. Looking forward to seeing more of that!
- Zelda: Triforce Heroes looked brilliant, nice to have a game that expands on Zelda: LBW
- Starfox Zero struck a nice balance of traditional looking gameplay and new stuff. Excited.
- More Yoshi's Wooly World! Great snippets of gameplay, looking forward to getting it on the 26th!
- Dual Amiibo/skylander figures was interesting. Wonder if Activision will get more involved in amiibo distribution!
- Hyped as fuck for Yokai watch, nice to get a release date for other regions.
- Super Mario Maker shot up my list. Now I've seen more content, I'm genuinely looking forward to it.
- Xenoblade Chronicles X release date. December is so far away!
- Mario motherfucking tennis on Wii U. Best tennis games out there, can't wait!
Just a really nice mix of showing off more of games we already know about, and showing new and interesting games! The volume of exclusive stuff was much more satisfying than the previous conferences. Love how Nintendo actually chats about each game a little too. As opposed to spewing PR dreck, and showing CG trailer after CG trailer.
Top notch!

How was it not bad? :/
I am not buying it either, unless the NX happens to be the handheld as well. I never miss on Nintendo handhelds.

It wasn't bad. I liked seeing a few games that I was interested in, but nothing was really "new" other than footage of Super Mario Maker. I was hoping for another Mario game to celebrate the 30th Anniversary, but I suppose not. Release date for Xenoblade is good. Yarn Yoshi is something my wife and I (mostly my wife) will enjoy in co-op. StarFox looks okay but I'm guessing it's early footage.
Overall, it was an okay show. Microsoft and especially Sony really brought a lot of heat this year, which I think makes Nintendo's announcements feel less impactful.

We are probably looking at a Twilight Princess scenario all over again. I think NX will no doubt be backwards compatible as well. It's why I went ahead and sold my Wii U, because as neat as the system is, it's pretty much over.

star fox is playing pretty well on treehouse atm. Platinum games. I have faith.
And Aonuma clearly told us it was delayed out of its original 2015 release and that there would be nothing shown at E3.
I did not had high expectations at all, but I still feel almost insulted by what they did with Metroid and Animal Crossing.
I really can not believe that they did not show even a couple minutes of it
I'd say the event was "underwhelming" in one word. I mean, a lot of people were expecting megaton after megaton from Nintendo after Sony's press conference, which wasn't a fair expectation to go into. This seemed like typical Nintendo when all they can really show are games that are coming out within the year, not games coming out who knows when (Zelda U, for example.)
I'm interested to see how people react to the announcements.
I guess every year can't be like last year for Nintendo, but really not a bad year. Nintendo went the route of "let's show games coming out Spring 2016 or before" while people will compare it to Sony's "let's drop megatons that really aren't coming out this year". I appreciate Nintendo focusing on games coming out soon, whether the hype is there or not.
I also enjoyed the Muppet scenes. I can't wait to see all the new gifs.
I'm interested to see how people react to the announcements.
- Metroid people technically got a Metroid game, but it's probably not something they wanted.
- Zelda people got a Zelda game, but they'll be upset that it's not Zelda U.
- Paper Mario fans didn't get a full on Paper Mario game, but they did get some Paper Mario that will probably turn out better than Sticker Stars.
- Mario sports fans didn't get Strikers, but they did get Mario Tennis.
- Animal Crossing fans are getting something on the Wii U, but it's definitely not what they probably thought they were getting.

They said E3 2016
I mean there are games in there that I'm excited for and I finally got my release date for Xenoblade X but it was overall pretty disappointing, especially on the Wii U front. I feel like development is shifting from Wii U to NX now and I won't be surprised if Zelda is for NX as well a la twilight princess or maybe even NX exclusive.

good with gravy
Couldn't have said it better myself. Nintendo knows that the Wii U is their Saturn. They want to reboot as quickly as possible. If they do it fast they can still have a system that is similar in power to the PS4/Xbox One.
They need a new system but they need to do it right.
Hardware wise- enough to get ports
Third party support (ability to get easy ports from mobile)
Full fledged online features from the start
Unified account across all hardware
BC and content transfer from WiiU and 3DS to this new unified account (remember the complaints about the Wii VC transfer? imagine now with DLC and digital retail titles if your content doesnt transfer)
Integrated Amiibo functionality
Integration with mobile (apps, etc)
Keep cost down. No Pad that makes the console expensive for no reason.
Basically the opposite of what the WiiU was.
seems obvious enough, but Nintendo have messed up 3 launches when it comes to services.

I didn't think that it was possible for Nintendo to ever have a worse E3 showing than 2008 but somehow they made it possible.
This is extremely harsh reception at Japanese stream for any type of conference, really
But what does it mean?
But children don't care about all the developer stories and talking.
I don't know who this was aimed at.
Over half of those titles were already announced. If you really want to be blown away, I can show you a highlight reel of Super Nintendo games.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???

And rightfully so.
Though it changes nothing for Nintendo in Japan, the 3DS software line-up is amazing.
Wii U is dead.

After this, I'm not even sure about. Zelda might be entirely on NX. Not even cross gen.

It really is seeming more likely that no WiiU games were greenlit after 2014. Whats on the horizon for the system? Zelda, FExSMT, AC, Yoshi, Mario Maker?

A localization announcement of Dragon Quest VII 3D or Bravely Second would have saved this presentation for me. Barely.
But we didn't even get that. I'm glad I didn't hype myself up beforehand.
Wii U is likely the last Nintendo home console I will ever buy, so I wanted it to go out with a bang, with continued support until 2016 at least. Doesn't look like that's going to happen anymore. Zelda U will be the last whimper from my dusty Wii U next year.
