it's fucking this guy

jeez

Is that Viewtiful Joe?

Spoiler

We know.

Edit: Oh no, I got post 1101. I guess I need to make a Mother/EarthBound prediction for this E3 Wii U Direct. EarthBound is going to be released for Virtual Console either directly following the presentation or in the month following it

Spoiler

(please )

[Kazerei]

Hey guys, I just want to raise awareness for the E3 Bingo thread. It's fun, y'all should participate!

 

[Pociask]

What I want: "Please understand, I am about to drop the bomb. I apologize if any of you soil yourselves in anticipation as we briefly show clips of these games coming exclusively to the Wii U over the next 18 months. [Starts sizzle reel] Final Fantasy Versus! Mario Kart x Sonic Racing! F Zero U! Mario Unbounded! Castlevania: Return of Belmont! Mega Man | Mega Man X: The Final Battle! X! Ultimate Doom! Civ Rev 2! The Legend of Ganondorf, developed by Retro Studios! The Legend of Shiek, developed by Cacpom! And one more thing: The Legend of Zelda: The Imprisoning War!"

What I fear: "We apologize that many of our titles, which we cannot announce at this time, have been delayed until 2014. And now, a Nintendo employee will walk you through 8 new minigames of Wii Fit U. Afterwards, we will walk through Mii U Sports, and show the exciting advances brought to the original Wii Sports by the inclusion of the Gamepad and Miiverse."

Seriously, though, put me on board the hype train, for old time's sake. Nintendo is finally going to put all its cards on the table, and who has a better potential hand in the entire video game industry?

We know that were discussing Kamiya's troll drawing on this guy's silhouette.

Hype raising to the sun for these type of awesome teasing

 

[qko]

It's actually an ultraviolent FPS. At the end you slowly saw off the goblin king's head. E3 attendees reported that Miyamoto just stood next to the demo station, staring at them.

You forgot to add: "So, did you like it?"

 

[D-e-f-]

There's a crapton of worthy n64 titles that should make a comeback in one form or another on the WiiU.




:O

or at least a VC release! N64 had sooo many cool games, despite what the internet and people of that time like to say.

A FOX holding a ninja STAR?

I wish it was Edge though.

If Nintendo seriously announces N64 titles for VC I will crap my pants, run 10 miles to calm down and kiss everybody I see on my way. But for now, I keep my expectations really low so I don't have to sigh through every announcement.

well, we know they're coming ...I bet Iwata will give at least a rough timeframe and the actual announcement will come in a future regular Direct.

They've already been announced...

 

[Anticitizen One]

If Kamiya really announces that he is directing a new Star Fox game then Nintendo has already won e3 this year

What's so exciting about this? They only released like 20 on Wii VC.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Well, I'd be relieved Nintendo themselves don't waste any internal resources on one of their worst and outdated IPs, but that wouldn't make an automatic winner imo.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Holy fuuuuuuuck, is this Viewtiful Joe?!

That was going to be my quote
mmmm no real new teasers yet, first one is

Mario 3D Wii U
Zelda wink Waker HD
Smash? (not sure about this one, its mario + luigi and kirby)
Pikmin 3
Wonderfull 101
NSLU
Pikmin 3

 

[DaBoss]

They've already been announced...

No they haven't.

What's so exciting about this? They only released like 20 on Wii VC.

They released the most important ones (barring Rareware games) and gave Sin and Punishment a western release. It was good enough for me.

If Kamiya really announces that he is directing a new Star Fox game then Nintendo has already won e3 this year

An almost irrelevant IP that barely has many good games in the series makes Nintendo win E3?

EDIT: Well you did say if Kamiya is directing the new Star Fox, which would make me excited.

 

[Rogue_Ledr]

Viewtiful Joe?

Damn! That is a trip from memory lane.

What was that? A GCN title?

 

[Qurupeke]

Look at what Kamiya tweeted though...Lol

Iwata announced this at this point during the April 17th Nintendo Direct.

 

[serplux]

No they haven't.

Yes they did. In the April Nintendo Direct.

I mean they haven't announced titles.

 

[Roo]

For once, I agree with you.

 

[serplux]

I mean they haven't announced titles.

...

Well, the 20 or so games they released for the Wii VC are coming back, since they're all Nintendo-published and some of the N64's most notable titles.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Ahh Kamiya, you're so wonderful

 

[AndyCH]

I find it REALLY funny that some of you honestly didn't know the picture was the wonderful 101 guy.

 

[dyergram]

You should ask him on twitter

 

[Kandinsky]

If Naughty Dog can make an Uncharted game in a couple years, I'm pretty sure Nintendo could make a Zelda game in the same time, given a large enough team.

This is the most hilarious shit I have read all day, how can you even compare the scope of a game like Zelda to a cinematic experience, cs galore, 5 hours long, autopilot game like Uncharted is beyond me.

 

[JB2448]

...

Not all of them are Nintendo-published.

Thanks, superb!

 

[fart town usa]

I'm excited. I never play my wiiU but I have no doubts that it will eventually have an outstanding software collection.

 

[serplux]

That's only two games.

I believe both of those games were originally published by Nintendo (OB64 in Japan, BH worldwide), so in all likelihood they are returning as well.

That's the funny thing about these console wars. All platforms ultimately end up with more worthwhile games that you can (usually) actually play.

 

[JB2448]

That's fine, but the publishing rights have seemed to revert to Square Enix worldwide for Ogre Battle 64, and Konami worldwide for Bomberman Hero. Whether or not they were originally published by Nintendo doesn't 100% guarantee their upgrading to the Wii U Virtual Console (as desirable as that would be). All I'm saying is that technically, not all of the Nintendo 64 titles on the Wii Virtual Console are currently published by Nintendo.

Spoiler

Yes, I know it's only two games, but my OCD is really coming out today. Sorry.

Anyways, I'd just like to note that both the Nintendo Direct page and the Nintendo E3 page make note of the broadcast being "LIVE" / a "livestream," so it'll be interesting to see if there are any technical difficulties or if they'll present the Nintendo Direct in front of a live audience.

You are hyped for this ? There are already N64 titles on the VC. In Wii mode.

 

[AndyCH]

so E3 2013, new console and you people want N64 VC titles?

 

[Waylon Drums]

It just makes my face numb.

One person said he was exited about it, dont generalize it to "you people".

All I'm saying is that technically, not all of the Nintendo 64 titles on the Wii Virtual Console are currently published by Nintendo.

The Wii VC version of Ogre Battle 64 was also published by Nintendo in Japan, so I don't really know what's going on there. As for Bomberman Hero, was it even a good game? Konami's been releasing all of Hudson Soft's old games on the 3DS VC, so I think that we'll see it again as well.

 

[JB2448]

so E3 2013, new console and you people want N64 VC titles?

No, I want completely new games for my Wii U (I already know games are coming out on the 3DS). I also understand Nintendo's "quality over all else" philosophy, so I'm willing to repurchase older games like EarthBound when they come to the Virtual Console in order to serve as stopgaps between new game releases.

The Wii VC version of Ogre Battle 64 was also published by Nintendo in Japan, so I don't really know what's going on there. As for Bomberman Hero, was it even a good game? Konami's been releasing all of Hudson Soft's old games on the 3DS VC, so I think that we'll see it again as well.

Regardless of whether or not it's a good game (I remember having fun with it when I was younger; I'm sure those memories would be tarnished if I were to go back and replay it today ), it's still a game worth considering for the purpose of this discussion. And hey, OB64 is published Nintendo in Japan. Square Enix has international publishing rights otherwise, though. Weird.

My hype went to almost zero seeing those silhouettes.
3D Mario - awesome. Everything else we've already seen / known about for years!

Is that you, Vince Russo?

 

[WiiredShawn]

My hype went to almost zero seeing those silhouettes.

Well, if they were trying to surprise people, don't you think it'd be a bad idea to just post silhouettes of characters from every game they'll be showing? The fact that they used an old Mario render should be pretty indicative of the fact that the silhouettes hardly represent everything they'll show.

 

[Meelow]

My hype went to almost zero seeing those silhouettes.

Those are from the E3 site, not the Nintendo Direct site.

 

[JB2448]

My hype went to almost zero seeing those silhouettes.
3D Mario - awesome. Everything else we've already seen / known about for years!

Why would they even obliquely reveal assets for games we have no clue about simply to hype us up for a conference? Come on, now. You can bet that there'll be new announcements on June 11th.

 

[Yondy604]

Anybody else think nintendo is going too swoop in and steal E3 from underneath sony and Microsoft?

I think the 1st party lineup Nintendo has is really impressive, and if the rumors are true and SSB 3d Mario are all Xmas titles, Nintendo could make a big recovery in both sales and marketing.
