They won't though ;-;
I have an Oculus, but if I had the chance to go to E3, I'd try out all of the VR, all the new hardware, etc. Games are always games, but that hardware needs to be experienced first-hand before jumping in.
This is coming from someone that's never been to an Expo before, though. You might want advice from experienced goers, too.
That was 5
The Wii U is nearing the end already, more or less. They've probably shipped a lot of their resources to the NX already. Doesn't mean I like it, but this is probably as good as it's gonna get.

Yeah I think I wouldn't be mad if they had already announced a Metroid Prime for Wii U, I still wouldn't play this 3DS game but at least it wouldn't feel like a spit in the face. Sadly it's kind of irrelevant how fun or good it is as that was never the point, Metroid fans didn't say "give us a good game and slap a Metroid name on it".
That's fine by me as long as they actually release the games they announced on the Wii U, I've gotten everything I wanted out of this console and then some.

I'm skeptical as well with Xenoblade, but at least they have a set date for it. But I'll still say from now till next year, there's still a good amount of games coming for Wii U with the ones you mentioned, continued support for Splatoon, new #FE game and new Zelda, and there still might be new announcements coming through the year with Nintendo Directs. I hope they don't just drop support of the Wii U as soon as they start talking about the NX, but I can't say for sur
Edit: Forgot about Pokken and Project Treasure as well..

If I need to guess, Nintendo doesn't even know why Metroid is loved in the first place.

Thanks!
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
Perfect, now I can chill to that while clicking that Steam Monster game.
I've only seen the GT reaction in gifs, but I did tune in last night for about an hour after the conferences for wrap-up and I felt really goddamn old. It was like a bunch of 3rd graders talking over each other on the playground and making weird noises to illustrate their excitement. At one point they nearly argued how many times they could outwatch the FF7r trailer from each other. "I could watch that thing at least 300 more times before this show is over!!". Kept wondering where Brandon Jones was to reign everyone the fuck in.
Granted, in my early 20's I reacted the same dumb way during the MGS2 reveal trailer, so I get it. Part of me is kind of enjoying the extreme lunacy as well, its been too long since E3 created that.
Outside of some flippant naive criticism directed occasionally by the GB team, I much preferred the more rational grounded take on the show overall by far. A comfortable haven, and I'm not even much of a GB fan.
There's like 8 Yakuza games and only 2 Shenmue games.
I'd like more games as insane as Shenmue.

No they will we'll make them somehow. Anything to stick it to Sega
Fuck it when's the Valkyria Chronicles 3 kickstarter. We can kickstart anything now right?
Damn. Was hoping we'd get something about 5 or 0 at E3 this year.
Honestly, I think thats pretty much what folks have come to expect from Nintendo. I'm not excusing it, but I do think a lot of WiiU owners treat it as a "buddy" console. Its no one's primary machine, its the one you get strictly to play those 4-5 great games Nintendo will release in a year and it doesnt matter that there's zero third party support because you'll get that stuff on PC/PS4/XB1 where it looks and plays better anyway.
At least thats how I've felt about them since the Gamecube days.
That's how it's been since the Gamecube, so I think that's accurate.

GB can be compared pretty well to negative reviews on Steam. You can either look at the positive reviews that have been thumbed-up and see all of the fellating of the game (or horrible jokes), or you can see someone outline exactly what the games problems are and decide if you are completely okay with them.
I treat it as a secondary console because i'm forced to, I can't play games on it if there aren't any... I would like to play more! some 3rd party game could've been AMAZING on the WiiU and none of them followed for obvious reasons

Because Retro is working on Metroid Prime 4 for the NX while Next Level's is just a stop gap title to keep fans of the series busy.

Dan met a Dan Fan!
I don't know if keeping people busy with a dislike button is the best way to go about maintaining interest in the series
You probably know, but the interesting fact is that those gamespot badges are exhibitor badges because of the stage and grant earlier show floor access in the morning.

Gamespot are exhibitors. I think that is much better that a press badge (at least it was at the last (non-gaming) convention I were at).
E: what Jaina ^ said
Drew or Patrick explained that last year, they have two badges, one GB press one and the GS one is an exhibitor badge so they can enter the show floor earlier.

"It smells like everyone in this convention center is farting simultaneously"
Ah, didn't know that. Makes sense!

I'm glad I never want to go to conventions. Claustrophobia as fuck.
I think a convention would probably give me a legit panic attack. Just too many people and noises.

You're out of luck for a good while. Their Youtube stream of Nintendo started late, so that's only about half of their actual stream. They didn't stop their stream of the Square conference, so that's not getting archived in a while.

It did Nintendo but cut off the first 20 minutes.
