Do people really think this was worse than Microsoft's? Really? It may not have been great but it at least had games with one of those being Pikmin 3 and another being a new Paper Mario.

Halo 4 was 100x more exciting than anything Nintendo showed.

 

[RichardAM]

The conference peaked too early with Pikmin 3. It was all downhill and awful from there.

 

[JiuJitsuka]

that's that. i'm switching to steam box.

 

[Saige]

That was an absolutely forgettable conference.

Pikmin was a good start, but the whole thing was just ports and shit filler.
Didn’t seem like such a great push for Wii U, don’t know what I expected, but I wanted more then what we got.
Don’t care about 3DS at all.

Ubi: 7/10
Sony: 5/10
EA: 4/10
MS: 3/10
Nin: 2/10

Has Nintendo just gone completely mad?

 

[Jacksonlee]

i desperately wait for a mario game with not that New graphics shit and Land based world.

jesus!

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

GUYS GAME ANNOUNCEMENT ON SPIKE SOON!

 

[codhand]

TANKS! TANKS! TANKS! the new H.A.M.M.E.R.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Nintendo let their success get to their head. Like what happened with Nintendo 64. Like what happened to Sony at E3 2006.


WiiU is going to fail.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

New WiiU game on GT?

 

[Gomu Gomu]

Someone PLEASE tell you're making gifs from whatever the shit is happening on the nintendo stream right now.

 

[jbug617]

I liked the argument for the 3DS with the games they showed today.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Spike exclusive coming up? Big developer....

 

[Dan]

Now's the part where Nintendo releases trailers and fact sheets for a dozen cool games that weren't featured in the conference, right? That's how it often goes with Nintendo.

Right?!

 

[Diggeh]

@Entitled cynical whiners

 

[effzee]

I just don't get it. There are no words to describe all the things wrong with the presentations.

Launch details? NONE

No price, launch date, and not even any confirmation of what games will be available for launch.

And of all the games to highlight a brand new system they chose Just Dance 4? WTF WTF?

What about the first party games? Pikmin and 2D Mario and that's it? WTF? Where is the Retro title? Or any familiar franchise? Or new franchises?

Where was EA? Wasn't EA on stage last year? And this year?

And to top it off no details about the online structure. I just couldn't think Nintendo could fuck it up this bad but they did even worse than any nightmare I could have imagined.

How can a company be so clueless and brain dead about a launch and what excites gamers? When at the start he said they won't focus on the entertainment apps today and it will be all about the games I thought great we will see a barrage of games 1st and 3rd party. Instead we get to see about 5 games while they repeat over and over the same talking points.

Fuck this shit. When are we supposed to get more details? When the hell is the launch?

GUYS GAME ANNOUNCEMENT ON SPIKE SOON!

Big exclusive!! maybe

 

[celebi23]

Valve wins E3 by announcing Linux support by 2013. Fuck everyone else. I had dreams of eventually going to E3. But after this, no fucking way.

 

[Foffy]

When's Nintendo's Roundtable? They better make up for this shit...

 

[antonz]

Project P-100 hmmm

 

[JonCha]

GUYS GAME ANNOUNCEMENT ON SPIKE SOON!

Sounds like a big reveal.

 

[sullytao]

From the sounds of it even the hired audience couldn't muster up a convincing clap at the end. I'm surprised he wasn't booed off for ending on that mini game crap. If that's seriously the best Wii u can do it is in big trouble.

 

[Morokh]

Annoying family is annoying ...

 

[MikeE21286]

new Wii U game on Gametrailers E3 coming up apparently

 

[tapedeck]

Spike about to show a new Wii U game from a "big" developer.

There is still hope....

Hardcore WiiU fan? You might want to come back to Spike for the reveal of "Project P-100" live on our Show....from a HUGE developer

 

[pulga]

Gametrailers live stream apparently to unveil a big Wii U game. Not getting hyped.

[Duxxy3]

Wanna know why iOS is winning??

Because of conferences like we saw this week.

 

[Antioch]

Geoff just said they would show a new Wii U game by a "huge developer" that wasn't at the conference, and it's a brand new game.... Retro please God?

 

[TheFatOne]

Just to give everyone a heads up Game Trailers is going to unveil a new WiiU game that was not shown at the conference.

 

[fallengorn]

I'm expecting more exciting news outside the conference, which is par for the course for Nintendo. But man.. that conference. :\

 

[Risgroo]

Well, that's it, I'm going PC. I might pick up a Wii U in a few years, if it gets a nice Zelda game. Now, the 3DS conference has to have SOMETHING...right? ....guys?

 

[Talamius]

So, iOS and PC gaming decide the ultimate fate of the universe?

 

[Gummb]

They should have ended with Pikmin 3 if that was all they were going to show. Pikmin looks gorgeous, but Nintendo really needed more. I'm wondering if these games are just the titles that will be at launch window and they will announce more later, because it's really disappointing if that's all they have prepared for the system.

The Wii got a Zelda port, a gorgeous 3D Mario, Metroid Prime 3, Red Steel, and arguably excite trucks for the "hardcore"at E3 2006.

Wii U gets Pikmin 3, Zombi U, and arguably Super Mario U for the "hardcore."

With that said, I will probably buy if they are good:

1. Pikmin 3
2. New Super Mario Bros U
3. Rayman Legends
4. Lego City Stories
5. Zombi U
6. Nintendoland

So, yes... I am personally happy, but it was very underwhelming.

this conference is saging

[RumblingRosco]

WiiFit was barely exercise to start. Now let's add in an expensive tablet for you to hold onto/limit your movement further! That'll surely burn the calories!

 

[Natiko]

This post conference online video is far, far more entertaining than the actual conference. I hope I'm not the only one who saw that guy giving birth.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

That didn't worth a single hour staying up. A single damn hour.

Nintendo, what the hell?

I'm just saying.

I stayed up 26 hours for that.

THAT!

I'm more deflated about WiiU than I was yesterday, and I thought the Padlet thingy was a bad idea then.

 

[Gully State]

In a last ditch effort to save E3, Sakurai's probably scribbling concept art for Smash Bros Wii U on a cocktail napkin as we speak..

 

[Wii Tank]

Nintendo is bananas confirmed!

Spoiler

Seriously, where the hell is Retro?

 

[Basch]

Spike gots a hands on demo with Zombiu coming up as well as an unnamed mystery title by a "power-house" studio to reveal. Could it be Retro? Why do I get my hopes up? Especially after how terrible that conference was. Also going to be on GameTrailers apparently (Geoff's own words).

[Clear]

Genuinely shocked to be writing this, but my rating:

F.


Started out well enough with Pikmin, but it just dragged on and on with nothing exciting or interesting to say or show.

Closing out your launch with a mini-game collection is beyond weak.

Hideous.
