Were there surprises last year? I can't remember.

I was also thinking that the MTV2 and Spike execs have gotta be fuming about this at least a bit, because surely their viewers were changing the channel in droves at some point. I know I just tuned out and switched over to GAF during almost all of the last 20-30min, only occasionally switching my browser tab over to see if anything had changed.
I dunno if this makes it easier or harder but here's the actual entire sketch on Youtube if you want to just start from scratch and that way you could potentiallly also make it even longer with some extra footage to exploit for further spoofing of the events. (part where he's driving with the teenagers starts at 1 minute):

Gotta find the original guy who put it together.( He has the source files and I don't know animation ).

The only thing shown at this E3 worth a damn is Watch Dogs. That's it. Everything else is just so tired or creepy in some fashion or... they get that this is supposed to be an event, right? Like, something we get excited about? Fucking gamer Christmas?!
They get that, don't they? MS, I get holding back; Sony's lack of Vita was bizarre and really foreshadowing; Nintendo... yeah, I don't know what the fuck they were thinking. They should have murdered the other two this year - and I'm sitting here wondering which conference bored me the most.
Thing is, Nintendo's E3 04 wasn't even that good. It's just remembered fondly due to Zelda. Wasn't that the year they devoted all that time to Pacman Vs.?
E3 06 was probably their best moment, all things considered.
Where is the retro game? Personally even nintendos last year e3 was a lot better then this one with the garden demo which was quite more interesting then what they showed today. Although im happy with p-100, trine and lego I still don't get the absence of more first party games.
How long until the developer round table?

This is what saddens me, that we may only see something like this once every 3 or 4 years.
Last one was probably Portal 2 and steam on PS3 wasnt it?

No, I don't think there's been a proper announcement (besides Pikmin teases) since Brawl. But with literally zero first-party non-launch games announced, I'm hoping for more. :/

Didnt Reggie say they had 23 WiiU games to show or something like that at the conference?

What the fuck even happened... How can you fuck up a launch year E3 so much? Unacceptable.
This conference really made me go from "probably gonna get a Wii U" to "I need more information before blindly getting it". I don't understand why they wouldn't have shown a true AAA Nintendo game for launch and also better third party support. I thought there was no way Nintendo was going to have a bad conference after showing Pikmin 3, but I was proven wrong. I love Nintendo, but I need WAY more information about the Wii U before I consider it at this point.
I'm calling it 'next gen' because it seemed to be interacting with things in a different way, doing things that were at least different from what we've seen before. The graphics are pretty and all, but that's not what constitutes next gen to me. It's more of a feeling where you go, "Okay. THAT I have never seen before."
OoT3D was revealed with the intro video at a roundtable. I don't remember what was last year's surprise. Maybe pikmin to wii u was it?

Last I remember was the horrible '08 presser. Baffled journalists kept asking "really? That's it?" To Miyamoto, who said "well, we're making Pikmin...".
I don't think the roundtable discussions customarily have surprises.
Japan-oriented third party titles shown at a later date along w/ price reveal, as per Iwata's tweets.

Showing some of those instead of Nintendo Land for 20 minutes couldn't have hurt.

I really believe if they had shown the Retro game instead of the fireworks, most of you would feel completely different about the conference. I know I would.
I understand trying to show only launch related games, but that's ridiculous not to give us at least one more game to look forward to. We've know about this game for some time now, it's been in production for quite a while, why not show it to us?

Nothing big enough to show? Why do I get the feeling Nintendo are rushing into this? I am in the same boat now...really need more info but the games are doing nothing for me.

No that was 2003. I'll never forget when Miyamoto showed off Pac Man vs and after just dead silence and he asks "Why aren't they clapping?" It was that year's "Where's the love?" (dumb NOA guy from this year)
edit: It also was the very moment that sparked this infamous image of some very disinterested IGN editors:

Oh right. Well Mario Kart, Paper Mario, Star Fox, etc. were all announced at 2010's equivalent of Iwata staring at bananas.
There weren't any surprises at the roundtable last year.
i think some of these nintendo fans is secretly sony/MS fans trolling a base. lol
anyway, shit press conference, promising future.
Having a hard time believing that some of the nintendo games is not gonna sell millions by next year. Whatever guys, smash bros and other stuff is coming.. We all know that.
Flies came out to feast today. remind me of the revolution name change to wii. lol
haters gonna hate.

Yeah I suppose though with 1.5GB-2GB of memory I'd still expect better given time/effort.
Also is that image actually taken from a zoomed in camera angle of the game? It looks to me more like someone's cut a piece of the ground out and then blown it up as I don't remember it looking that bad during the conference. I could very well be wrong as I can't find any zoomed in images of the game online at the moment.
Uh, its going to be used with Rayman Legends with the figures. Derp.
I meant Wii U games. This is the Nintendo conference thread. I missed the conference and was wondering what Nintendo demonstrated that screamed "Next Gen" Nintendo.

How appropriate that Nintendo is the only one that refuses to move.

I did learn today though that I'll be playing alot more Diablo 3 this fall.
I am a fan of Nintendo and Sony. I generally dislike MS. That said, both Nintendo and Sony botched their opportunities this E3. I'll go so far as to say that they have each foreshadowed significant reasons to be concerned for both of them. And that's remarkable considering MS basically sat on its ass and played with its thumbs for an hour.

So...at this point can we say that maybe Satterfield was trolling us a bit when he said that the Wii U launch lineup was "Surprisingly good"?

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Well... if the Retro game truly looked awesome and next-geny I agree. But there is still the huge issue of third party support. I am shocked that we are only hearing about stuff that was announced a year ago, for the most part.

On a side-note, I bet NOBODY won that Bingo contest. I checked 12/75. :lol
If Nintendo ever needed a SpaceWorld, it is this year.

Well Sony did have a brilliant new game with Last of Us, so I think they probably won for me. I think Nintendo conference had to be the worst because expectations were so high and they didn't deliver at all.

No way man, Im a huge fanboy and this conference sucked hard. As for the future, based on what they showed, looks like shit as well. Of course they can show stuff down the line but as of now they are not providing any compelling reason to buy the Wii U.
The Wii U name is perfect because it really feels like the Wii all over again. I can't believe that after the 3ds launch they would pull this. What is really disturbing is that Nintendo thinks they hit it out the park. Why else would they schedule 3 conferences?!?!
Depends. He might have been legitimately surprised. Maybe he expected it to be even worse.
*shrugs* I mean, Last of Us looks good. Kind of like a combination Uncharted and Ico. But I'm not a tremendous fan of the Uncharted titles, so all I can amount at the moment is begrudging respect. Frankly, the only company that I feel came out ahead after its conference was Ubisoft. Those fuckers did it right.

Yeah, and remember how he kept endlessly insisting that "Mario isn't needed for launch"? You better believe it's needed now, NSMB U and Pikmin may be all we have for a long time.

You are 100% right, dude. E3 2004 was absolutely incredible, and no other Nintendo conference matches that kind of excitement. I still watch the Nintendo 2004 E3 conference every once and a while - it's too good and really fills my gaming heart to the top.

Unless there's some serious bombs dropped between now and November he was definitely being too kind or overreacting.

You and me both, brother. You and me both.
Man, he gave me the hardest time about that.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this happened.
How do you launch a console with no games?
How do you spend a section of your conference talking about a game that released last year on everyone else's console?
How do you take a year of absolute silence to prepare for a big rereveal after the disappointing initial announcement, and then show the exact same things you showed last year? Especially when studios like Retro and Monolith have surely been working on something for 2 years now.
How do you put absolutely no effort into combatting the rumors that your system is severely underpowered? Just one stage demo of a graphically impressive, Wii U exclusive game. That's it. That's all you needed to do.
The entire thing is just mind-boggling. They had all the cards in their hands. They could've just shown off three good, new announcements and been declared the indisputable winners of E3. I'm sure they have them! I'm sure their studios are working on Wii U games, and they're not all like Nintendoland and Wii Fit U!

Two Wii U gamepads? :O
I was really hoping for that, at least we have some games and good news on the hardware front.
Come on Nintendo, this was your big shot... and you blew it along with Sony and Microsoft.
Next-gen needs to come quickly. All 3 failing to utterly impress seems to be a sign that people are getting tired of the same old military shooters, sports games and Mario over and over.
