I kinda like watching the bad conferences. It's like looking at a train wreck in progress (the reactions on the internet are also a plus).
I wonder what they put those little kids through in order to remember the motions and to keep them that HAPPY.

half hour of the GOTY? Great conference confirmed
What was just as annoying was hearing people saying, "Don't know? I'll Bing it!"
It just didn't sound right..

It's not really any different than Mario Kart with three players, where instead of one full-sized region, you're rendering to three regions about a quarter full size.
There's nothing that's a bummer about this unless the term "complex" is precisely explained.

Horrible conferences are the best, unless it means something I really want isn't shown/announced.

Oh yeah, and Jay Leno plugging Bing = guaranteed way to make your new search engine instantly undesirable on every human level.
Such goodness. The reactions online are the gifts that will keep on giving, for years and years. We'll have "I remember where I was" moments - not only from good conferences, but also bad ones. Who could forget Sony's 2006 funnyfest? Such such goodness!

Throw in some light Xbox3 teases and I'm sold. Maybe announce RE6/AC3/other random multi-plat has Kinect support, just for good measure.
If there's one thing better than an amazing conference, it's a terrible conference we can make fun of for years to come.
Meanwhile, Nintendo's conference U Reggie is saying;
'Super Mario 4 for Wii U/3DS cross-play, Metroid Dread 3DS, Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 3DS, The Lone Ranger, Star Fox: Upwind, F-Zero Ultra, Smash Bros. Ultimate, Wave Race Thunderstorm, Legend of Zelda: Mist of Ages 3DS, Yoshi's Island by Good Feel, Pokemon Battle: U, Kingdom Hearts 3, Megaman Returns, Capcom VS Nintendo, Pikmin 3, Haptics and Vitality sensor built into the controller and Santa Claus is real and giving blow jobs in our booth. Peace out.'

Also..
Reggie would NEVER say peace out. This is false.

Which was a stark contrast to this comic:
Ah, my memory of the first comic is not as good as I thought it was, clearly.
Never seen the second one, but lol.

I agree. For sure, no one will ever forget THIS, however much we Nintendo fans try
You know what sucks? That was the first E3 I actually paid attention to, and watched the conferences..

As predictable as the CoD demo is, at least they are smart in how they cut it "win the interest of time" to show us the goods.
BF3 at EA last year had way too much tank.

Nor should they. That was the darkest time in the history of Nintendo.

The thing is, I find it hysterical - no matter what company prodices that kind of comedy. I mean.. who at Nintendo thought that this was a good idea? Hehe..

I still go back to read through parts of the 2008 "Chris Remo Saves E3" thread, so many amazing gifs and meltdowns after the disastrous Wii Music/Cammie conference. Unfortunately it looks like the amazing Monty Python/Life of Brian 'Wait there's also a Pikmin game!' gif Mama Robotnik made back in the day no longer exists unless someone saved it.
E3 Prediction Time
The future is wires! Wired controller, ethernet internet (no Wii-fi!), and a variety of wired attachments, including the vitality sensor. Nintendo's E3 megaton is the ability to use the DRC screen as a universal remote control. To achieve this, you must attach all of the remotes in your house to it via wires.

I didn't catch that.
For those who don't know, this is why we get pre-recorded Kinect stuff.

It was a year that Nintendo thought that they could use E3 to try and further their casual appeal...
Which backfired horribly, because casuals don't give a shit about E3 and it basically did nothing to help them with any games.
If rumors of these kits supporting 2-4 tablet controllers are true, then this is good news.
Isn't optimization true for any console? I'd expect most of the troubles developers go through is dealing with the way each hardware takes care of certain functions, so it only makes sense developers really won't come to grips with the hardware's real performance until they figure out how things work, and that usually comes around second generation of its lifespan. And figuring out workarounds is not out of the question. I was kinda amazed by how much devs pushed the DS at the end of its lifespan.

What's old is new again! Yay!
I'm glad that they found out sooner rather than later. We'd be looking at a very different conference if they had not gotten that wake-up call.
Ouch, that does suck. I would've liked to have watched Nintendo's 2006 conference, but, at that time, I wasn't into all the internet gaming forums/news stuff yet.

They found out pretty much immediately.
Again, they actually apologized for it.
That is unheard of.
Though, I am curious if they'll try and bring out their new marketing director this E3.

I'm sure this is known/irrelevant/pointless, but I remember there being news that nintendowiiu.com, nintendowii-u.com and wiiu.com didn't (and still don't, seemingly) belong to Nintendo, but wii-u.com did. Still find it curious.
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Microsoft don't seem to get it... Look at their awful E3 Kinect Disneyland Adventures promo...
It's weird though, despite this, you never see people calling the Xbox a "kiddy console", like you do with Nintendo...

He posted it a few days ago in the Pikmin E3 thread.
I didn't have a GAF account then, but I was lurking and it was indeed a hilarious time.
Yeah you're probably right, I overreacted. I guess I was hoping to be able to get "real nice" graphics on the main screen and at least 2 "real nice" pad scenes rendered. I was wondering if that basically means we won't be able to get "real nice" 1080 due to the pixel count.
However the term "real nice" is to subjective and vague that it's pointless until we see some stuff in action.

Just think that you're never be able to experience the true glory of watching the Twilight Princess reveal live. I pity you and all your kind.
I actually like that Nintendo is willing to publicly apologize when they have messed-up so badly, be it with the 3DS or the crappy E3 conference. Kinda refreshing.
This takes me back to the conviction that I have: that no matter what they do, no matter what games they release, no matter what catchphrases their spokespersons come-up with.. Nintendo will always be cast as "the family-friendly gaming company." Which equals "kiddy" in a lot of pseudomature folks' minds.
I was nearly sleeping, but i know this thread, if i wait tomorrow to post an answer to your two messages concerning my padlet info, i would have to read 15 new pages & all
So, as explained many times, it's a continuation of the data i've gathered, nearly all that i write is linked, so when i say "complex" & "intricate", just refer to older messages of mine, and you'll see that i'm talking about 3D scenes, current gen HD games, and more precisely, 2012 current gen good looking titles.
The Wii U can't handle, in a v4 dev kit / third party ports & games using inhouse engines context, 1 720p current gen content + 2 480p current gen content. It's managing correctly (with a good enough framerate, but i'm talking 25/30 fps here, not 60) 1 720p current gen content+++(again, i've explained what kind of +++ you can expect thanks to the more powerful capacities/more modern architecture) and 1 480p "current gen" content (i use marks because obviously, it's in 480p, but it's still intricate, not just an inventory, it's a real different view of the main scene). It's reassuring in my opinion, because these already solid performances were before the slight improvements coming with the V5 dev kit, 2 revisions before the actual SDK, more optimizations of their own engines, and tons of other parameters that can only get better.
I hope i'm crystal-clear
And now, it's bed time !!!!!!
