Should be good to have three things, E3 most year we have the E3 press con and then nothing as we wait for press.

Then watch them playing bad with bad pics and sounds
 
Nintendo is ready for E3.

Wish I could find a gif of the whole thing.
 
E3 pretty much exists just for Nintendo. Everything else seems to revolve around their conference, at least in terms of hardware and such.
 
3 community threads! Yeaaah!! :P
No, no, actual news get their own threads in Gaming. It's the idle chit-chat or rumor threads like this one that get bumped to Community. This is how it's worked for a while now, IIRC. Ever since PonyGAF got bumped to Community, but was allowed a Season 2 topic in OT, since it was new content to actually discuss.

Correct me if I'm wrong, anyway.

You're right. I was just friendly bitching. ;]

Just saw your avatar, and I thought of an amazing idea. A new Golden Sun for the Wii U/3DS with the original cast, and this time, better than Dark Dawn. It is one of the games i would like to see more this year.

The only time that'll be better is Launch Week, when we actually get our hands on the goods.
OMG, you are right! I'm thinking of me unpacking the console and playing with it for the first time... And it is awesome.
 
If the software showcase isbfor Nintendo, then it's going to be for third party exclusives and big multiplats.
Much like Ubisoft's one last year. The fact that it'll be televised means it's probably pretty significant.

Nothing beats launch day.Not being able to sleep the night before,going down to to the local video games store a hour before they open just to be one of the first inline.Rushing back home carefully opening the box.Hocking everything up,the first time you see the boot screen.

I don't know if I can take another wait like DD though only to end up disappointed. I'd want either a brand new RPG from Camelot with similar art direction, or a prequel to the Broken Seal.

Motoi Sakuraba kind of phoned it in last time, I hope he's still got the touch. He did well for Dark Souls.
 
So...

Press conference: Iwata speech and top tier software
Developer discussion: SPECS
Software showcase: I'm guessing it's going to be like E3 2010, only delivered in one large concentrated dose
 
Thank you GPW you're a Godsend though I think you should've included BP's ban in there somewhere hahahaaha

RIP ={

That's part of my work, though not particularly fancy.

Out of curiosity, which of the currently banned WUST posters are permed? I got BP, DR, and a few peeps who'd posted in Cabbie's forum and are now our stalkers.

The thing is that I LOVE the powers, that puzzle extra and the combat. They won't keep some of these thing if they make a new IP, so I want a new GS.
 
What was wrong with DD? :[
Except poor story.

Too much recycled, music wasn't as engaging, furries, too easy, and poor story.

I only mean a new story, really. They could make what amounts to a GS clone for all intents and purposes and I would be excited if it had a new story and similar graphical style.
 
Nintendo seems to have E3 in the bag this year even if it manages to screw up in some ways similarly to last year's conference.

Sony's lineup is still strong, but they've lost the element of surprise with God of War 4, Last of Us, and PlayStation All-Stars already announced and shown off.Then there's the confirmation of Last Guardian's absence . Sony could have at least kept fans hopeful before they crushed their dreams! PS Vita shouldn't be too hard to hype up as long as it gets at least 2 compelling game announcements and possibly a potential price cut as well.

It doesn't seem like people are expecting much from Microsoft's offerings beyond its focus on Halo 4 and Call of Duty. God help us all if it turns out to be another Kinect-based conference.

I think Sony will go big on PS3/Vita and that going to fail vita need it own games so yeah should be a easy win more so if other next gens are no shows and MS will be all os and stars no one out side USA will know and bad acting

but then if they don't show next gen every fanboy will call what ever they show for Wii U as weak
 
Wasn't there a rumour that a Tales of game was coming to Wii U? And today there is a teaser for a new Tales of game, no title given... hmm...

Would be too much, no? Wii U can't have everything.

I think Microsoft and Sony will have big news this year actually. No way are they letting Wii-U have the limelight...

If Nintendo have kept a strong Wii-U launch lineup under wraps, perhaps Sony have done something similar to relaunch Vita. Both could at least namedrop their next gen consoles and make a spurious claim or assertion or two, and concievably do decent brand perception damage if Nintendo don't really wow people. And if they surprise us even further and actually SHOW shit? Like a UE4 demo running on target hardware or something? This place is an instant shit-storm.

I still think Nintendo's show will be the best, they'll have the most new stuff to show, and surprises of their own -- but don't discount surprises from the others.
