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

I don't think it was that bad, I wasn't expecting anything big because it was still separate from the main conference and labeled as more of a 'software showcase'.

All in all, I'm considering a few 3DS titles now.
 
Why the hell are Nintendo so focused on just showing games this year when we already know what they are? Just fuckin let us know what you got in store. Hell, words are better than nothing.
 
Fire Emblem confirmation through twitter? Really?! Think that's something worth mentioning during the show.

Holy Shit I lol'd irl
 
lol at title change.

Yea...this was the worst conference of them all. E3 is for surpirises damn it! It used to be :(

Anywayz...

....

At the very least, this got me to really think on buying Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario st launch, liked what they showed of them....

Also, did anyone think that he was gonna announce Pokemon B&W 2 on the eShop as a download? I did. I felt the worst trolled at that part :(

Same with MK7 and Mario 3D Land. (tho I already own them.)

Guess Nintendo is starting to move away from e3 and announcements a year ahead of time, and moving towards Nintendo Direct...
 
I barely paid attention to it... that was nothing right? Just "here's some shit we already know?"
 
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.

Thats quite a few things tbf!
Am a bit worried what 2013 has in store now; but generally that was pretty great.
 
An entire conference just to recap and show long demos of what we already know is coming.

I think the only new thing I saw was Threeidiots or whatever. Still letting that sink in.

Then again, after that horrible Wii U conference, I guess it's my fault for thinking this one would be worth watching.
 
Iwata was so oddly absent from this years E3... aside from the pre-show stuff... What's up with that?

Exactly.
Its like Iwata knew the reaction wouldn't be received well, so he just stepped back and said...fuck you not doing this.
Miyamoto, all he did was show a wonderful game, and be adorable alongside Pikmin.
 
Whiners.

I can understand the anger over yesterday. They had nothing impressive to show.

They might have all been announced long ago, but they had a lot of bad-ass games on display today.
 
Seriously?
How is Miyamoto an idiot?
How is Iwata an idiot?

Please do explain this to me.

They sent out the picture and encouraged fan edits. Also there are two ways to look at it/analyze the joke:
1) They are "supporting" Threediots.
2) They are Threediots for having three lackluster conferences.
3) They are stars of Threediots and will fight lobstermen and whatnot.

Besides, it's all in good jest.

And there weren't any good pictures from the conference to use.
 
I think Nintendo really believes the world is gonna end by the end of this year, so they just didn't give a shit about making games for 2013.
 
Terrible conference, but a great upcoming release list. Infinitely better than what happened with the Wii U. I'm not an unhappy 3DS owner.
 
It's not Nintendo who let me down, it's the 3rd parties. It's like they want Nintendo dead so much. No Call of Duty, no James Bond game, not a single EA game... If this goes on like this only good 3rd party software we will ever play will be only lego games. Pathetic. Just let it go, Nintendo. No company cares about your console. Just make 3DS Japan exclusive.
 
I think this E3 more than anything demonstrates the complete downhill road the console industry and it's 3 big players are headed down upon.

I look forward to the coming years.
 
There are a ton of games I want for the 3DS, and most of them are not announced to be coming stateside. This was the perfect time to show that stuff off, but instead we got confirmation of Rabbids and Transformers. I didn't need revelations, I just needed confirmation that we're actually going to get software coming over. Especially when NoA has taught us that they don't fucking care.
 
> shows nothing new during show
> tweets right after show "oh yeah we're localizing fire emblem"

Hmmmm, maybe you guys could have

wait for it

SHOWN FIRE EMBLEM DURING THE ACTUAL SHOW

Oh wellll, at least I have you now, Fire Emblem. All is forgiven. <3
 
3DS first year crushes 3DS year two.

I can no longer get excited about E3. I was spoiled by the awesome 2005 conference with the last second Twilight Princess showing. Nothing will ever top that. Hell, 2002 E3 was just amazing with Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Mario Sunshine, Animal Crossing, Eternal Darkness and Star Fox Adventure all in one show. Where is THAT Nintendo?
 
Well, I got my FE hint (if true), but announce stuff like that during the conference.

Given that the conference was for 3DS software, I thought it would've been a gloss over for stuff already announced and then... "hey, look at all this stuff we didn't announce before!" Priorities, re-evaluate them.
