But can you keep that boner when you see those weak ass textures of Zombi U?

They could but it would require them to lower the model quality for cutscenes. Devs usually up those models because you're going to be seeing closeups of the character in cutscenes while you really won't be paying much attention to the detail in the model when you're playing the game. It's a balancing act.

Pretty sure it's still an FPS. We'll see tomorrow.

Yeah, I think there is going to be some backlash though. Look at that GIF thread, everyone acts like Nintendo is going to single handedly save gaming or something.

Here's a bad case for tomorrow, and something I hope doesn't happen.
Here's what I don't want to happen:
- Nintendo slacks on graphics for most of their games (NSMB, Pikmin, Wii U Sports / Party game, Kirby or Yoshi game) leaving the only really impressive title to Retro. They look good enough but are outshined by most PS3/360 games we've been seeing at E3.
- 3rd party support is obviously lacking. Nintendo highlights Zombi U as a big "hardcore game" with little else from 3rd parties.
- No eShop games revealed for Wii U.
- Nintendo spends more than 7 minutes on New Super Mario Bros.
- Embarrassing demo showing a party or casual game that lasts too long and is just generally embarrassing. (Maybe Your Shape Fitness?)
- More than 2 multiplats demoed.
Get hyped, lol.
I'm a worrier.
could happen...
they could also go service service service set-top-box mode for over half the time like MS did
I hope Nintendo remembers its all about games
what I do not want to see is AC3 for the 3rd time in two days on the 3rd stage in 2 days sheesh... that goes for any other 3rd party game... Maybe they will show yet another AC3 level that ship thing really came out of left field
anything can happen but since Nintendo seemed to have planned not to show 3DS during that time I just hope for Ubi level good stuff stay on message and keep knocking them out without a stupid lull in the middle
3ds uses the same card slot anyway, why would they need to get rid of ds compatibility?

I am off to work, and something tells me servers tonight will be totally overloaded...
will see you later
just imagine them doing an overkill like that Nintendo Direct for 3DS where they showed one game after another; so goood, it's almost better than sex

definitely, I didn't meant on-rail, I meant in the style as of not taking itself seriously; I think bulletstorm is another similar example
Exactly...I feel the same..

I didn't even think about that. :S I don't care if they just announce Netflix, Hulu, blah blah quickly and move on, but don't linger on "entertainment".

same here on both points I was hoping GiantBomb would help me get a few hours closer then I try to sleep a while
seriously fuck Capcom
also lets hope we do not see that god aweful Ninja Gaiden port lol was it cancelled?
walking fiend

I doubt it;
were the problems with the game fixable like AI, etc., or was it basically bad?
This was their latest effort:
Either the team is just incapable of producing HD graphics or the LyN engine is just bad.

oh god, that's awesome lol
one thing I like about tomorrow, is that it will be a classy show
We won't see Reggie or Iwata trying to 'connect' to dudebro gamers, or telling lame ass jokes trying to sound cool.
At worst, it will be a classy bad show; I just hope Reggie is happy tomorrow, sometimes he looks angry

not that those are bad things but those were the two big guns I was hoping to find something new and fresh in...
I'm hoping I wont feel the same way about what Retro shows today
please be something that feels fresh like Watch Dogs

Or they haven't shown it yet at all and you're making assumptions that the little flashes during Nintendo's presentation that were obviously not meant to be seen in detail were final graphics and gameplay of a full game. Personally, I think that's just as likely as the game's official trailer being real gameplay

Giant Bomb is talking about Halo 4 longer than they will probably talk about Wii U tomorrow.
We'll think of you when the stream starts. Stay strong.
I love Giant Bomb
I have to wait until 6pm CST to watch

we actually know of 2
1. Chasing Aurora
2. A Shin'en game
I think it's a download game, and those graphics suits a download budget game.Or they haven't shown it yet at all and you're making assumptions that the little flashes during Nintendo's presentation that were obviously not meant to be seen in detail were final graphics and gameplay of a full game.

3. NSMB 3DS will be on the eShop as well. Not an eShop game per say, but eh.

I think (hope) ALL Wii-U games are download games, like we know all first-party games are.

I think that it's possible the video of Zombi U in ND we saw was weeks, maybe up to a month old, if not even older, much like the Bird Demo. It's entirely possibly they've polished it significantly since then, or, at least the bits they're showing for the conference.
Also, bare in mind that these are blurry, low-res shots, just being proper quality could improve them (or make the short-comings more obvious).

No Paper Mario though.

I understand what you mean, but I meant as an 'only' download title
it may also be retail bundled with a controller (I think multi requires wiimote?)

Well, it's past 1am here so I need to get some sleep soon. Just wanted to say it's been great discussing with you guys the last three months. I came in late but it's been a blast and helped make the E3 wait so much more bearable. So I picked out a special (temporary) farewell video and prepared a little address, NOTE: DO NOT CLICK THIS if you haven't seen the last episode of

Yeah but we haven't seen non-specific Shin'en game yet. Chasing Aura had a screen and details!
Actually it'll be great if Nintendo rolls out a sizzle reel for these kinds of titles. I bet Shin'en will make something really impressive.

I haven't been following them closely, but I'm gathering a lot of dissatisfaction with the Sony and MS conferences. Is this E3 Nintendo's to "lose" in the media's eyes?
Probably. Ubisoft put on a solid show. I know Sony rubbed alot of Journos the wrong way with the crowd plants. Turned their conference into a fanboy wank

Did you get this from Twitter or what? I haven't read anything but I haven't been looking. It was painfully obvious there were plants.

Shine'n will just need to make their games 1080p and add some shader effects, etc. and their games will look better than most current HD games.

had forgotten that
I think we will see at the 3DS conference though
Yeah some journos were commenting on twitter about it.
Sony invited 200 diehard fans to come in and did it on a first come first serve basis so they got the hardcore of the hardcore
