ehh, doubt that.
Crowd running to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at E3

- Start date
ehh, doubt that.
Zelda is without a doubt the best reveal of E3, and most likely the best game shown on the floor.

People say that about Shu, but he's always pretty open about his praise of Nintendo and how important they are to the industry. I even remember an interview he was doing with IGN where Greg was bashing Nintendo and Shu jumped in to defend them.

Zelda was the Winner of E3 in terms of attention.
I wouldn't say Nintendo won outright, but I enjoyed the treehouse and Zelda personally

Oh ninjablade. Don't get so worked up over positivity.

They were gonna do that even if there were other games at the booth, so I don't know what your point is.

By the way, the Wii stampede / line was way bigger than this. The most hilarious part was how you had to run through the Sony booth, where they were debuting the PS3, to get to it. You had to wait all day to get a shot and even then it wasn't guaranteed.

Haven't kept up, does E3 let non-biz people in now? If so I'll feel slightly better about this unprofessional stampede behavior.

I haven't been hyped for a Zelda game in a looooong time. The DS games made me lose some interest in Zelda. Didn't feel the wii games with the motion controls.
This game is like a breath of fresh air, when I saw Link cooking the shrooms it was so cute, I knew I had to play it. I'll probably won't play it in a long time so I'll add it to my bucket list when prices are really low.

There really can't be an event or comment that doesn't spawn some kind of competition nonsense. And I'm talking about both sides. Sheesh.
People rushing to play Zelda - "See, Nintendo won e3. We wonn!!"
People rushing to play Zelda - "There's nothing else to play on Wii U and the game won't sell as good as X game because eff it, competition, I need it"
sad

It's a very important game to get coverage for your outlet if you have any Nintendo fans as your audience too. It's pretty much the only game you cannot miss. There really isn't any other playable demo at this years E3 that is on a similar pedastal.

Yeah sonys linup was way better but Nintendo did reveal quite a few 3DS games on Wednesday. Ever Oasis (RPG by a guy who worked on the early final fantasy games), Mario Party Star Rush, rythem Heaven Megamix, and then they showed first time gameplay of games like Pokemon Sun & Moon and Paper Mario Color Splash.
I remember, back then Nintendo of America released TP on the Wii before the GC version by not less than 3 weeks, while we were waiting long for it.
I wonder if they'll do that with the new Zelda. You can play it this day but on NX, if you want it on your WII U, wait 3 weeks.

Or, you know, it's because people like to play video games and Zelda happens to be one of the biggest gaming franchises ever. And of course, the game looks incredible.

I thought to myself, "maybe in a week I'll ask NinjaBlade what it was like to be wrong", but then I laughed at the very notion of you even acknowledging that you were wrong about a Nintendo game lmao, it'd never happen
This game could review as well as Mario Galaxy and you'd still be posting unsubstantiated drivel about how the game is bad because it needs combat like God of War's or some shit

Contributor that's like if we ask a GAF member who won E3.

i'm honestly not seeing without a doubt, i'm seeing more games that i would rather play and i'm a fan of zelda franchise, like every open world there tons of things to do, the graphics are not impressive, the combat looks dated and slow, i'm not seeing where this game is pushing new boundaries, except that its zelda in a open world.
a contributor thats a huge zelda fan, not forbes.
why so much hate for ninty? they do what they can with what they have, and they have convinced me to buy their ocnsole and not a ps4 or xbox one...so i dont get the hate
nope.
Right. Because everyone on E3 are not GAF members.
I declare Breath of the Wild is the winner of E3 2016.

to each his own, but you might want to get that myopia checked out.
FFXV VR Episode was the clear winner, though.

I haven't been this excited for a video game since....shit, I don't even know. Ever, maybe?
If I had been at E3 this year, I'd be running too. I envy all of those who got to play the game.

Winner or not you gotta gove props to nintendo for managing to shine as bright as its competitors with 1 game
Hes more of a fan of nintendo than some,
How many nintendo fans have 2 Wii Us?
Yeah it's pretty incredible. I would have never guessed that they would actually have a good E3 presence with one game. Like, it's absolutely mind boggling.

Pretty sure Ninjablade is just a Nintendo hater who likes to pretend to be impartial given what I've seen of him in general

Whether or not you personally find the game interesting, most of us were proven wrong when we believed that Nintendo would be lost in the E3 shuffle. They have gotten plenty of attention this E3.

Yeah, it's getting to be insufferable. It'd be great if we could avoid all the hyperbole at both ends, but it won't happen.

Googling about I'm seeing stuff saying that the demo was an hour to an hour and a half long, although that's preshow reports of how much time Nintendo were asking attendees to put aside for the demo. Here.
Taking the shortest of that estimate (1 hour), the turnover if every person played the demo fully comes to 140 people per hour. According to the E3 website the opening hours were 12-6 on Tues (6 hours), 10-6 on Wed (8 hours) and 10-5 on Thu (7 hours). That works out at 2,940 play sessions over the 3 days. With ~50k people attending the actual show, that's enough time for a little over 5% of attendees to play.
But they were only the ones showing actual games, not vapourware technology or VR fever dreams?
