Awww yeah, the real deal.
Nothing will ever beat the SNES.
In my unbiased opinion.

Best Nintendo console ever? Yes, yes it will be. Lets hope the games can match it though.

It would need to have genuinely wireless classic controllers for my friends for it to reach that status.
Something about this post arouses my suspicion, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Even if Reggie was pissed, what would that even change? I assume Nintendo always feels like they're in some sort of "war" with the competition. It's not like that means Nintendo can whip up Zelda, Smash, Mario, Metroid, and DK for launch just because Reggie is pissed and wants to battle. Even if it was true it seems like non-news.
I still want a big, green "WIN" button, haha..

How funny is it gonna be if E3 is a total flop for Nintendo, lol. Odds of that are low right now, but it would be funny and sad and funny and sad.
I have no idea what you could possibly mean.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
The first time it could have been legit while now its an imposter.
From what I saw last week, I go the impressions he was a journalist.

UH. Aren't the games what determines if it's teh best console ever?
I think the war is how the company's mentality stacks up to the other two. Nintendo believes that for games to be fun, big Hollywood budgets and retina-frying graphics aren't needed.
Judging by many of the vocal crowds, it seems as though this mentality isn't winning among the "core" crowd.
I THINK that's what Reggie's mad about.

nope. Last time I checked console = hardware. DUH.
I think that's his point. From a technical standpoint it's the best Nintendo console, but it needs the games.

monster games' wave race
More like spice orange.
Not that I believe that the blocks have anything to do with the actual names here but...
Code:
▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒
Super Mario World 3I've been calling for Excite Boat for weeks!
That would do it.
Let us not speak of Wave Race ever again unless shown, my heart can't take it.

But that was always a given....
It would be hysterical, but in a deeply bitter sort of way.

do not trust to hope. It has forsaken in these lands.
15 mins of orchestra, 15 mins of games you can buy elsewhere sooner, 10 mins of pikmin 3 demo, nsmb looking like an hd wii game, and a teaser for retro game coming out in a year.

Nintendo loses.

Hope people remember that it's a bannable offense to spread misinformation, even as a joke...
15 minutes of Reggie pausing in the middle of sentences.
Ouch.
And yet, you've nailed it. The biggest E3 failure since 2006.
The stuff of nightmares.
Probably three first party games.

Those are probably first-party titles only.

yeah that shit adds up
it's important we embrace the possibly harsh reality, in order to fully enjoy the opposite of that happening:
cool orchestra music before the conference starts, sizzle reel of 3DS games coming out, wiiU online shown, OS shown a bit, lots of 3rd party games, a few 3rd paty exclusives including at least 1 big one, pikmin 3 gameplay trailer looking great, NSMB looking better than people anticipated, better art style, clean 1080p goodness, retro game coming out at launch/launch window, partnerships with studios announced for future games and then it's over...
...lights go out, zelda wiiU teaser.

Pyro, your E3 is implusible
No 3DS! There's gonna be a trailer of 20 second gameplay of Paper Mario 3DS, coming out eventually in 20XX!

I'm waiting for Reggie to take the stage and announce that Nintendo has purchased the Ultima franchise from EA and hired Richard Garriott and friends to make an all new Wii-U Ultima adventure.

I think a lot of people have already determined for themselves whether it's a flop or not.

I'm sure many parts will be total fails, notably the guaranteed casual demo's and other hipster shit bound to show up. I'm also predicting Nintendo hyping up lame crap, and also being way too vague about important things like online leaving people very suspicious about some things.
But I also predict some real megaton game announcements. I'm just not too excited about the mandatory droning on about biz and market speak by Reggie/Iwata. Investor/biz talk should be for investor meetings, E3 should be about entertainment and appealing to fans and consumers. Therefore, send Reggie and Iwata TEH's mandate to drop the one-sentence-at-a-time biz script, get some clever writers to do Reggie and Iwata's presence proud and focus on amazing announcements.
No doubt about that. Theres a segment of people who no matter what Nintendo does because of the Wii U being what it is Nintendo is doomed and sucks no matter what

"Now you may be saying to yourself, 'Reggie, didn't you show all these games last year?' Yes. We did."
And on the other hand, even if it's somehow a complete shitshow(which would take some crazy skills by Nintendo to screw this one up), the ten-second glimpse of HD Mario will sent people into a tizzy and proclaiming them king of E3. Yahyah, Nintendo wins, Body is Reggie, durr hurr, wheeeee
True. It's just not that often that such dark thoughts are openly expressed. Scary.. and grounding. But i like. Anything above that will be met with sighs and cheers of relief and joy.
This E3 is going to tell us a lot about how much Nintendo "gets it." So I will be holding my breath a bit.

You know, I really don't see why people are so sure about NSMBWiiU being an actual game. The only word I know about it is from a Nintendo PR person, which is paper thin evidence.
C'mon now, Nintendo's not going to launch their first HD console with a 2D side-scroller.

probably, and it goes both ways. Some people have determined that it sucks already, and some will be satisfied even if the games don't look so hot.
I am personally not buying a whole new console for gaddamn pikmin 3 and some ubisoft shit I'll tell ya that.
