Nintendo 3DS Software Showcase [E3 2012] - Trolls, come see how it's done.

Scott Moffitt is basically this guy:

The only thing I was interested were Paper Mario sticker star, Luigi's Mansion 2, and Castlevania LoS MoF. However, they didn't announce anything new. I feel that is a let down.
 
All this utter disappointment should be blamed on your internet router.

The internet single-handedly ruined E3 for us this year. Expect it to continue.
 
Trolled indeed. Don't know how much longer I'll be holding onto my 3DS. At least the Vita had games. Sony just doesn't tell anybody. There weren't many 3DS demos on the floor and not much from this conference.
 
Seriously, what the fuck did all the E3 press conferences planners drink before the show?? HOW HAVE THEY ALL BEEN THIS HORRIBLE??
 
So, what I got from this is:

Paper Mario look cool. I thought the stickers sounded dumb, but nope, I'm looking forward to it.

Luigi's Mansion lost it's charm somewhere in the past 11 years. It's looks like the straight to video sequel of an awesome Disney film. :(

Nintendo have some guy who's good at demoing games.

Oh, and they have another guy who is an even worse host then Reggie.

With the way this was presented and the lack of numerous games getting localised recently, I really think NoA needs a bit of a shake up. :-/
 
FIRE EMBLEM CONFIRMED

What the fuck is with Nintendo not announcing important things during their conferences? The crowd would have popped at a Fire Emblem announcement or a fucking Kamiya produced Platinum game.
 
Do these guys have no clue? Omitting things like P-100, FE Localization, ZombiU gameplay from their conferences? WHY

WHAT HE SAID
 
Rabbids? Spider-man? Transformers? Since when do Nintendo pormote shovelware?

I don't know if you are aware but, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF JAPAN IWATA. But you keep on thinking world is just about your country. Pathetic.

roughly since wii's release


where's my 3ds flipnote nintendo?is incredible that people on dsi can use that program for free,but i can't on my 3ds
 
It was so obvious from the beginning that this conference was just for showing the 3DS games on the show-floor in-depth to the audience at home that I'm really surprised that people actually had expectations for it.
 
two good things to come out of this.

1. at least their insistence on showing 2012 things only means that Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem are still strong possibilities for next year.

2. NSMB 2 actually looks really good. Who'd've thought. Hype for flying raccoon cape Mario and coin rush mode.
 
Ok, I'm majorly disappointed that there were no new games announced. So fucking stupid to have a separate conference just to show off titles they showed during their actual press conference. I'm glad we saw more of Paper Mario and stuff but come on.

Well, we are getting all these games this year including Wii U stuff so that cheers me up a little bit.
 
This conference made me thinking about getting Paper Mario, a game I did not care about.

Other than that, E3 2013 better be fuckin amazing.
 
Why are you people getting excited for Fire Emblem announcement? It means it's for 2013....I'll laugh my ass off if it's for Fall of 2013...
 
And that is the problem with the internet age. So much information is immediate and continuous, even half the stuff that's supposed to be secret, rendering shows like E3 pretty impotent when it comes to revelations.

Well they could've done like they did with NintendoLand and P-100.

You know, just developing it in secret and telling people to keep their mouths closed.



BTW I was interested in half of the games they showed today, so that's ok. Next time Nintendo, just tell me you're going to show nothing. Because you know, it's 4AM here.
 
It's sad how out of touch NOA is with their own audience. You have a guy that coasted on his resume as VP of sales & marketing and doesn't know jack about video games, the president of NOA has an open disdain for 'hardcore gamers' (see anytime he talks to Geoff Keighley) and what the fans really want (Animal Crossing 3DS, Monster Hunter 3G, Fire Emblem: Awakening & Professor Layton 3DS), NOA could care less about. And then you have to practically twist their arm with bombardment of Operation Rainfall to even get them to acknowledge, respond, and actually release something. Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario: Sticker Shock (or whatever it's called) isn't quite what I had in mind.

It's called anticipating needs and capturing demand. Marketing people should understand this more than anything.
 
I think Nintendo should have just combined all of these events and had one pretty good conference instead of one bizarre conference, one dreadful conference, and one boring conference.
