Man that was not what I was expecting and you could tell they were holding a lot back from their studios. I think this is where their secrecy hurts them more than any other games company.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT SHIT? Seriously what the hell Nintendo?

 

[rouken]

watch the stream here guys their showing a bunch of other wii u stuff.

[Doc Holliday]

Animal Crossing on nintendo access

 

[Red UFO]

Help us, PC gaming, you're our only hope.

 

[Busty]

I'm just glad that AceBandage isn't alive to see this.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

e3.nintendo.com better deliver all the goods. Because this E3 has been so fucking shitty.


I'll buy Nintendo Land.

 

[CoffeeExpress]

does this mean.. Ubisoft won? by default?

 

[dark_chris]

wtf happened to moments like this?

Seriously nintendo..

 

[Rad-]

All the 3 conferences sucked again, just like last year.

 

[KillGore]

Between the big three, Sony has won E3, and whoever says otherwise is craaazy. The only bad thing Sony has was the wonder book but Nintendo's conference is....is.....no

lol I love how almost everyone keeps saying ubisoft has won, and although true I want to know what you guys think who won between the big three

 

[dosh]

Well, it's now really clear the current creative directors of Nintendo need to retire. They have absolutely zero notion of what video game is nowadays (and I'm not thinking dudebro/cinematic games).

 

[Zomba13]

Do people really think this was worse than Microsoft's? Really? It may not have been great but it at least had games with one of those being Pikmin 3 and another being a new Paper Mario.

 

[btrboyev]

Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves. That was easily the worst E3 conference of all time. For a new hardware launching this year, there was absolutely nothing shown for anyone to consider it as a viable platform. It also appears hardware specs were correct as it's basically in the same class as current gen.

Worst E3 ever.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I have the strangest feeling that after the 3DS conference we will be saying..."why didn't you put all this into one conference and have one okay one rather than 2 bland, filler ridden ones?"

 

[Thunder Monkey]

That was not worth staying up 26 hours for.

 

[RumblingRosco]

"Dropping candies makes the animals run faster!"

NintendoLand protip.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Pikmin and Marios looked great.

Otherwise what a meh-gaton. I was thinking it will be A+ from the start.

 

[Riposte]

I'd take a 2D Mario over most 3D Marios. However I don't think NSMB2 will be very good, since it seems to be based on collecting coins.


Anyway people who take this shit about a thousand times more seriously than they said, praying yesterday that "NINTENDO WILL SAVE US!!!", deserve collapsing under their own melodrama.

 

[Mistle]

I have no words.

 

[Sato Koiji]

"Dropping candies makes the animals run faster..."

Oh my god!

 

[Credo]

Sessler bringing the truth about the Nintendo conference on Spike: "Flaccid"

 

[Agent Unknown]

Nintendo, if you think this is the future of video games...

 

[RustyNails]

Ninten DOLAN ???

goofy pls

 

[Wii Tank]

"one last look at..."

*newzeldaohpleasegodnewzelda*

"... at nintendo land"

That was my exact reaction

 

[joesmokey]

Well certainly wasn't the conference I was expecting...

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

This was unbelievable.

I'm almost ready to say that Nintendo has done a better job of convincing me to just throw money at a Vita than Sony has.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

How can you have a new console coming this year and do such a boring show ._.

 

[Dark Stalkers]

when did Sessler go bald?

 

[Red]

Sounds like you guys like it.

 

[Jive Turkey]

LOL a third party wins E3.

 

[Gintoki]

Where is Iwata?

 

[Boss Doggie]

Man I feel wasted.

 

[Gaz Pwnage]

How can any of u rate this worse than MSs conf.? Jeez get a grip...

 

[Valhelm]

That dad is such a creeper.

 

[antonz]

So now Geoff is saying Nintendo is unveiling a new title after Reggie interview

 

[Psychoward]

Welp, there's always next year.

 

[Region-FreeWii]

Anyone have a big pot of bland soup?

Cuz I've got a lotta salt to season it.

 

[Uno Venova]

So....uh. All those Nintendo winning E3 in the Gifs thread huh?

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Spike panel is really taking them to it. Can't wait to see what happens when they talk to Reggie.

 

[Dark Schala]

I know something's bad when my brother looks fucking pissed. He usually likes looking at Nintendo conferences, lol.

I can't believe this. I wasn't even hyping this conference. I just expected more from them instead of... what we got.

 

[ultron87]

"No Zelda" is trending on Twitter.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Can't wait to read Edge's reaction.

 

[tapedeck]

Pikmin 3 looked amazing, show completely tanked after that. Terrible.

 

[czk]

at least the meltdowns are epic

 

[ToHrU AdAcHi]

Worst E3 in a long time.

You know it's bad when Ubisoft had the show stealer.

 

[Boss Man]

Welp.

Microsoft - 4/10
EA - 5/10
Sony - 6/10
Ubi - 8/10
Nintendo - 2/10


As mentioned: No Retro. No Zelda. No 3D Mario. No Mario Kart. No Smash Bros. No Star Fox or F-Zero. Few new 3rd party games. In fact, no megatons of any kind. Nice hardware, a clear step up from current gen hardware based on their 1st party games, but it's hard to know how many 3rd party games will take advantage of the boosts the hardware provides (vs lowest common denominator development). Most of the controller screen uses are gimmicky...but they will be gimmicky. Anyone who's used a DS or 3DS knows ideas tend to be limited there.

Final Nintendo score depends on what they do at the 3DS show, but wow. So underwhelming. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Ubi clearly had the best conferences and the best collection of games. Sony showed some really interesting NEW IPs and the rebirth of some old ones. Not great, but sufficient. Everyone else could have stayed home.

Pretty solid scoring there. I don't know, I might put Nintendo at 3 or 4 though. If you consider the relativity of it all - Nintendo is supposed to be showcasing a new console, Microsoft and Sony are just coasting on the PS360's last year - then the 2/10 makes sense.

 

[TheChits]

I'm...so sad

 

[big_z]

anyone watching this bonus iwata stuff they're showing?

 

[bluehat9]

GT has an interview with reggie? skewer him.

I like how they all tried their best not to crap all over it too much, especially sessler.
