What Can I Say?

im stumped.

well, looks like Nintendo decided to hold all their cards in the end. i guess i can understand not giving any demonstrations until later, but not showing off the third party support was a big mistake i think, considering how strong it is. this was definitely a last minute change.

and for the record, that wasn't the Retro footage that i saw.

having said all of that, im not worried about Nintendo's future in the slightest, but they defeinitely dropped the ball with that press conference.

in any case, i don't know what to say, i'd give an apology, but the rug was pulled beneath my feet as well.
 
Apology Accepted Captin Johnny.

OMG MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN SHATTERED U BASTARD!!11

Seriously, don't sweat it. People are mad at Nintendo/themselves and they are taking it out on you.
 
same old secretive nintendo

"shooting ourselves in the foot since the N64"

I dunno what to think. now i can't even laugh at them like microsoft I'm all "I can't find anything to point at"

How can I laugh if I can't point?!
 
That wasn't the Retro footage I saw either. Dang, why didn't they show it? Ponies, clowns, Miyamoto swinging a checkbook, etc.

yeah its really disappoint, but honestly, where did he ever lie? I can't think of one thing that he said would be at E3 that wasn't. It would have been nice to see some footage of anything, but he never said it would be there. Just that it exists.

Johnny, to redeem yourself snoop around and find out what happened and tell us when we can except this shit to come out.

Yea, good idea.


...Area 51? What's that shit about?


I can't believe you fucking morons are asking for more.

It's cool with me man, I know you didn't deliberately try to mislead people. I'm extremely disappointed with Nintendo that they didn't show more of Metroid Prime 3. Do you have any clue as to whether the reason that they delayed the conference start was so they could pull stuff at the last minute? I know that's been speculated, but do you know that's what they did for sure?

I'm still excited about Nintendo, although it's been dampened significantly.
 
Johnny, is there any chance that you can maybe tell us exactly what it is you know and saw?

Edit: If Johnny is banned for this, I will lose all faith in this forum.
 
Nighttrain never lied about a single thing. Just Nintendo's priorities changed for some reason. He said Prime 3 would be there, and it was. You guys are stupid. Don't piss him off and lose a great addition to the boards.

You rock, Johnny.

Haha, maybe they'll show all of it at TGS or Toy Fair or better yet Next E3 :lol
 
What I dont understand is why did Nintendo mention the FFCC for Rev if they wanted to save everything for later. It's not like it made a difference.
Is there anything to the caliber of DMC4?

:lol WHATEVAH. You should share Axsider's fate.

He told us enough stuff that did come true to be trustworthy. Heck, he compared the Revolution to an Apple product (with pic) that looks almost exactly like how Revolution turned out. Why should Johnny be punished for Nintendo's stupidity.
 
if i get banned for this, well then uh...so be it.

those are the breaks.

in any case, im definitely gonna look into what the reasoning for this was, because they have the ammo to compete with Sony on every level. im going straight to the source for this one.
 
I can't believe the least likeable of the bunch (did anyone think Li Mu was an insider?), Axesider, was the only one of this motley crew with real info.
 
I'm not gonna ban you, but I think that along with what you saw, you got fed a little fanboy hyperbole.

I'll quite earnestly disagree with you that Nintendo can compete with the PS3 on all levels, especially the obvious ones.

I think your sources are way off on third party support. They could have given us the silent treatment and said nothing or given us one or two huge names, but they announce ONE game, and that is FF:CC. Makes no sense. At all.
 
im so puzzled!

It's a revolution people *throws ninja bomb, disappears leaving everyone confused*

ugh, before this conference I said to a friend "Not early adopting either of the first 2 due to wall guy and dualshocker 3 (tm drinky I think) but given my love for the nintendo games, they have to disprove the Revolution to me" and then they didn't show it.

I mean, it looks nice but let me get this straight, they didn't show any footage? AT ALL? WHAT THE HELL. Reggie said that it wasn't it's coming out party, I thought that microsofts shocker would have made them a bit more bold, sounds like they actually removed things from the presentation instead...... confidence minus 1 half.

and you know this based on what again? one side of the story.

as far as gaming hardware goes, every level. but i've wasted more than enough time trying to convince you of that.

here, have a hot dog. bygones.
 
This isn't about whose "insider information" is better; it's about not letting the your status as a holder of said information cripple your natural cynicism. Sometimes, it's simply better to sit on what you know and let the drama unfold at its own pace -- ere you risk Johnny's fate, which is looking like a tool.

At the VERY least, never drink when a fanboy friend in the biz offers you Kool-Aid. And let's face it, exclusive knowledge makes folks act like fanboys even when they might normally be sane.

really? what did he hint at that was proven correct?

Yes, much like you. However, given the nature of my information -- and my similar surprise that it wasn't shown -- I'm perfectly happy to simply wait it out and see where the cards fall. I wasn't the one in the rush to make an ass of myself.
 
Considering IGN has photos of a Revolution area on the showfloor (which I assume wont be there now?) it does seem like stuff was pulled.
 
Drinky Crow said:
BTW, Johnny, I think you got snowjobbed by your pal.
look, i know what i saw okay, so that's definitely not the case. but like i said, im not gonna bother getting into with you where im siding with Nintendo. i know better than to do something like that.
 
I won't accept this apology until you get us some pics of Wall Guy at E3.

And why would Nintendo back down because of the PS3? Nintendo isn't in the "hardware" war after-all. So even if it was inferious they still should have shrugged it off and shownS SOMETHING. This all reeks of BS.

So show us some facts, concrete proves. Spill the beans. It's the only way we can accept this situation. You look like a good guy. Redeem yourself.

*Sorry bad english*
 
Drinky, I'm confused. Where is one instance where Johnny lied? He said Metroid Prime 3 would be shown, and it was. He hinted towards other things, but as we've seen with Microsoft's conference, things can change at the last minute. Something clearly prompted Nintendo to sweep things under the rug for now. Not Johnny's fault. He is at the very least a trustworthy person from what I've seen.

Almost seems like you're upset because this just involves Nintendo. Which is odd. You should be happy that us Nbots got owned, right?

Ok. Let's say you are not a lier.

Tell us what you saw. Tell us EVERYTHING in that demo.






Just admit that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and suck it up. Jesus.
