E3 2015 | Nintendo Digital Event
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
This digital event just shows that Nintendo's priorities have shifted beyond the 3ds and wiiu. Everything was ports, collaborations with outside studios doing the actual development, reused assets for quick turnaround games, and popular IPs used in games that are spinoffs or shells of their main entries.
Seriously there was a lot of cool stuff and a lot of less-than-great stuff but nothing utterly shitty and its all *coming out soon*
More people were excitied to pay for an exclusive PlayStation game so Sony didn't have to
Wasn't expecting much of the digital event which I haven't seen, but by the comments I gather there wasn't much to be seen. Too bad, Nintendo's had a bit of a resurgence as of late with Splatoon, but I guess they've blown their load with that. I'm still getting Woolly World but after that I don't know... I'm not a Zelda guy.
Nevetheless, Wii U was actually my first Nintendo console and I've had a great time with it! Much more so than I ever expected. Part of it is that I had some unbelievable Wii games to play, but the Wii U library has been pretty great for me also. No regrets even if they decide / have decided to focus on the next console now.

Seriously...those games are nothing interesting. Other than Xenoblade and Fire Emblem, nothing special.

Reggie deliberately mentioned that the company is transforming, so next year it might became a totally new Nintendo.
This is more serious than I imagined
I'd like to forget about E3 now and focus on Nintendo's future,
Have they finally putting an end to Wii U and 3DS till 2016 and anounce a new platform under the new Nintendo

As a nintendo fan, I feel like... being f***ed today. I wanted a Mario strikers, we received a shitty tennis game without the special movements that were on NGC.
Waited for a metroid game on wii u. with the gamepad, we could do a lot of things with it on a game like that.
Waited for another NGC hd remake..
Where's Rhythm Heaven??
Nintendo's first step is to fire the big 3: Miyamoto (ok you are the papa of mario but from years, you offer nothing to gamers. You use Nintendo society like it was your puppet. He explains its ideas of maniability for Star fox, sorry but tons of people can think better things for this game). Reggie and Iwata too. They are a big wall of the progress of Nintendo.

What do people expect Nintendo to do, tie their main development teams up on a console that's been on life support for most of it's entire lifespan.
Look, it sucks that the Wii U was taken out back and basically shot, but Nintendo needs to get off of that system, it's dead and it's been dead for a while now. It's got a great line-up, but nobody is buying it.

Why not a Wii U fire emblem? Even the Gamecube had a goddamn Fire Emblem game..
it isn't even exclusive, since the superior version will be on PC lol

This is pretty much my assessment as well. Let's not forget we're getting Earthbound Beginnings! Nintendo knows what it's doing, I'm not worried.
Other than _____ and __________, nothing special.
Pick your favorites and fill in the blank.

The show was kind of disappointing but the presentational value with the puppets was incredible.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Truth.
NX is going to be a great platform; however, today's event left a sour taste in my mouth.

The last console FE sold terribly. Fire Emblem doesn't do the numbers to be a big console RPG

Why you make me sadder!
But it will be. OK? You know it will be. It will be. It will be. There's no other explanation. It will be.

I own both a 3DS and a Wii U. The only "new" game that I'm interested in after watching the Direct would be Super Mario Maker. The second game would be Xenoblade Chronicles but that's a fairly well-known thing at this point. Two games between two systems over the next year. I'm not writing off the other games completely, but that's pretty bad.
While I agree the Nintendo landscape hasn't been bad, it hasn't been the best. Lemme illustrate: Smash Bros. I have little to no interest in Smash Bros although I recognize it as a fine game. So, last Fall I had the option of Smash Bros, Hyrule Warriors, and Bayonetta. Thank goodness for Bayonetta because otherwise I wouldn't have bought anything for Wii U. And Bayonetta is rather niche. I can imagine plenty of other people found nothing interesting to play on their Wii U last Fall. If you're a Nintendo fan who buys up each and every one of their games and enjoys each one, I'm sure the Wii U is acceptable. I love Nintendo, but I only buy a handful of games a year. I usually have a hard time picking which games I want to buy. On Wii U, I have a hard time deciding what's actually worth my money.
There are some very solid games on Wii U, but this E3 showed that the system is dead. 3DS too. Not even a new Pokemon.
I wouldn't hold my breath.
I can say that is it pretty much established, at least where North America is concerned, that Nintendo piles all of their major releases into the holiday season at the end of the year.
Nintendo could have gotten so much better sales for the Wii U overall if they had released the games evenly through the year to stave off the droughts that kept killing the interest in the system, but they still, until this day, seem dedicated to trying to milk Fall holiday sales.
Just got in from work, i have missed it
You missed nothing. Really.

I haven't watched the event yet, what's the other new Metroid game outside of the Federation one?
Seeing the headlines, I feel like Nintendo's really stretching it on 3DS this year with some titles just to pad out the release because practically all the big guns have come and gone on the system already. It kind of feels like they should have a new system out by the end of the year.
The above said, my backlog is so big that it doesn't really matter for me. It sucks for people that have a lot of gaming time and buy all the latest titles pretty much immediately though.

Yeah, this is sort of where I'm at. Well said.

isn't this the truth. Nintendo shows up with real fucking video games that you will play in the near future and it's the worst presentation they've had in years?
Every single game they've shown will be a product you can buy before any of the big announcements at Sony's thing.
Oh yeah. You'd think they would have said something. I guess Iwata will announce stuff at the investor's meeting.
If Nintendo does a direct event in the fall announcing a new Retro Studios title for 2016 and a couple of other internal titles for the Wii-U along with a Zelda Wii-U date of holiday 2016 I think everyone will quickly forget this lackluster E3.
But if I was Nintendo I would have quickly thrown a bone to the core fans as far as 2016 Wii-U goes. Give the fans something to look forward to and hold on to. Even if you have some sort of fall event planned you need to give people something to come away with at E3 esp after good Sony and Microsoft conferences.
Nintendo does what Nintendo does I guess. Hopefully NX isn't a console as I think it would spell a Gamecube 2005-2006 vibe. I think it is some sort of handheld as the 3-DS has plenty of support through 2016 and it has been around long enough where they can replace it in 2017 and people won't feel like it was too soon.
Wii-U on the other hand needs a few more years of support, it is going to shake the confidence of consumers if Nintendo doesn't support the console through 2017 at the very least.

This thread is moving too fast for my liking. Have we had any epic meldowns yet?
Wrapping up a system is always awkward, and it's now clear that wii u doesn't have much life after 2015, which should have been obvious to everyone going into the show.
I thought SF0 looked great, even if the graphics aren't very good. The 3DS stuff didn't appeal to me much though, unfortunately.

I like how they state that, then decide to abandon a partially established console for the NX.. That's hogwash IMO. Sony stuck with the PS3 and atleast got something out of it by the end.. The Nintendo abandoning this console is an utter joke IMO..
September. I reached out to Reggie and he sent me a list of announcements, telling me he's heard more of what GAF has been asking for:
New FZero: Captain Falcon's Epic Yarn. 2D Platformer with amiibo support. 2016 release
2016 Games for Wii U: Star Fox Zero is now a 2016 game
Mario Kart 8 Battle Mode: New courses will be added to the Battle Mode Mario Kart 8 already has
Ridley and K Rool in Smash: New trophies of iconic Nintendo villains are available to collect
New Zelda Wii U footage and a release earlier than next fall: Nintendo is partnering with Ubisoft to get the game out faster and deliver a AAA open world experience
Pokemon Wii U: It's a Mystery Dungeon that requires amiibo to play as characters other than Pikachu
I don't, but I pretty much expected something like this. A lot of good Nintendo games and a severe lack of anything else.
The Wii U got my son hooked on Mario games (I'm coming home from Korea in August and that's all he's looking forward to, is playing Mario with Dad), so for that, I can't hate the system.
Was it an underwhelming console, yes, did Nintendo fuck up with it, yes. However, we still got some great games from it.
