[Gamer @ Heart]

They legitimately have no idea how to run a company, I'm 100% convinced of this now.

THEY ARE A COMPANY THAT WORKS IN A CONSUMER INDUSTRY AND YET THEY DON'T LET PEOPLE SEE OR USE THEIR PRODUCTS AT THE BIGGEST MARKETING AVENUE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

I do. Not. Get it.

They make their own event.

 

[Unison]

What about 3DS?!?!

I don't believe this news.

 

[Alienous]

It'll be the only Wii U game.

Ah, I get it.

Sell people on Zelda U but cannibalise Wii U sales for the NX.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Honestly the craziness of this is simply fascinating.

 

[Feichaw]

Crazy Nintendo is the worst Nintendo.

Bizarre news.

 

[madstarr12]

Lol, they had better be trolling....

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Man I thought Wii U was dead before but when the only game coming to e3 is one due on 2017... Yikes.

 

[El Odio]

It'll be the only Wii U game.

But again, what about Color Splash?

 

[Storm Kyleis]

The "only playable game that will be presented at the show" according to Nintendo Italy.

 

[Ein Bear]

The fuck... Surely they'd bring along Paper Mario and 'Metroid' at the very least? Or the new Pokemon games?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Hahahahaha.

Oh wow.

This day will be long remembered as one of the worst ones in Nintendo history.

 

[Unison]

What about 3DS?!?!

I don't believe this news.

Oh, title edited...


Only Wii U game makes more sense, but that leaves Paper Mario out in the cold and largely kills the hope of a substantial surprise announcement for Holiday 2016.

[Pokemaniac]

It'll be the only Wii U game.
https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/725232136496750594

Okay, that makes more sense. For a second I thought they went full crazy.

 

[Akiller]

Hello darkness My old friend
I've come to talk wii u again

 

[Obliterator]

Can confirm. Got the same PR.

http://press-start.com.au/2016/04/27/nintendo-will-only-have-one-game-at-e3-this-year/

Nintendo have lost their damn minds

 

[Xord]

What are they doing?

 

[Possumowner]

"Complete E3 plans will be announced later on"

"Tumbleweeds"

 

[cacildo]

I wouldn't be surprised if they put Splatoon or Smash on the floor.

Pikmin 3!

Lets talk MORE about Pikmin 3

 

[Sami+]

 

[Neiteio]

Nintendo is giving up because they know President Trump will turn the planet into irradiated slag

All of their money is going into building an underground fortress

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Nintendo is bailing out of E3.

Yeah l've stopped trying to understand Nintendo. Mindboggling company all around.

 

[KingSnake]

Playable game. But that begs the question if Zelda is delayed on Wii U just for the NX launch.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

What are they doing?

Making us depressed so they can sell some quality of life afterwards?

 

[DJwest]

nvm

 

[OrbitalBeard]

"Introducing The Legend of Zelda for Wii U

...but actually, please buy the NX version that we won't be showing you today....k bye!"

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Holy shit, lol. This is obviously because they're not ready to show any NX games, but surely there's something else for the Wii U or 3DS they can bring to the show?!

 

[salromano]

It'll be the only Wii U game.
https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/725232136496750594

No.

"The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion."

 

[Frozenprince]

They make their own event.

But that event wouldn't generate as much interest or social media interest as an E3 showing.

It's not about the event itself it's about the platform this specific event provides.

http://press-start.com.au/2016/04/27/nintendo-will-only-have-one-game-at-e3-this-year/

Any PR about their reasoning behind not showing NX at E3?

That immersion comment though, I just can't buy that.

 

[Luigiv]

 

[Numb]

Confusing
Better than nothing

 

[Flare]

Only Wii U game. I suppose that's better? I mean it speaks volumes of the situation the Wii U's in.

Edit: Nintendoomed

 

[GasProblem]

Nintendo changes its approach to the show every year. This June, Nintendo will focus its attentions on the upcoming game in The Legend of Zelda series. The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion. Additional information about Nintendo’s E3 plans will be announced in the future.

So does that mean no 3DS games eiher?

 

[HUELEN10]

This can't be true, because there HAS to be at least ONE new game announcement at E3. This seems like a "for now" thing.

 

[Crayolan]

Nintendo E3 2016:

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I'm not sure how feasible it i but if I were in charge of Nintendo, I would release Skyward Sword HD this year on W

Skyward sword minus motion controls sounds like more trouble than its worth though.

 

[Stairouais]

So yeah, Zelda and Metroid Federation Force.

It's gonna be great

 

[Mockingbird]

E3 excitement down to 1.

 

[Rösti]

Three booths for one game? That doesn't seem right.

 

[Neoxon]

So does that mean no 3DS games eiher?

This baffles me the most, since we have yet to get a bit of Sun/Moon footage.

 

[Obliterator]

If you read the PR it doesn't even sound like 3DS games like Pokemon will be there.....

This is some next level insanity

 

[WordsintheWater]

Each time I refresh GAF there's another worse piece of news coming from Nintendo.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

So does that mean no 3DS games eiher?

The "only playable game that will be presented at the show" according to Nintendo Italy.

.

Not playable, no.

 

[Asd202]

No.

"The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion."

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

[Alienous]

No.

"The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion."

Can't.

I...

Lord have mercy.

 

[oti]

Three booths for one game? That doesn't seem right.

One booth for Zelda, one for amiibo and one for New 3DS faceplates.

 

[Possumowner]

Three booths for one game? That doesn't seem right.

Exactly my thoughts,something's wrong there.
