The Orchestra was fucking terrible.

I hated that particular MSconf, because it was very, very obviously a brainstorm demo, not a product demo, but people totally lapped it up and praised it highly. I do, however, find it rather interesting that we just saw an example a couple days ago of scanning a real life object and having it appear in a video game as a meaningful object. But it's done in a way that's realistically possible, not part of some "this stuff might eventually be feasible in the future" mindshare-building scheme.

Still can't believe how sharp that touchscreen looks. So bright, so colourful.
Bigger D-Pad and face buttons and move them above the right stick plz

Man that 2nd circle pad looks like it will be causing a lot of accidental presses to the X button.

I don't think that they've been a position where securing exclusive content was possible. It really just became a big deal this generation when DLC became popular. Full title exclusives on consoles have become pretty rare. So we just see companies battling it out to secure exclusive DLC or timed exclusive DLC.
I can't see them getting any sort of exclusive period with GTA5. There's just too much money sitting there on the PS3 and 360 for Rockstar to ignore. But if they pulled it off it would be one of the biggest announcements that i've seen in this industry. I think it would almost instantly change their image for some gamers.
I was gonna say that the Orchestra fuck-up with them playing the wrong song

YES actually, because the same audience wouldn't want the same activities in one context but would enjoy them in another.
That's more a criticism of the narrow demands of a certain audience than it is for Nintendo's approach to SS.

Watching some old e3 stuff on youtube and came across ths badboy

Oh, there's also ustream.tv. I know that one of the benefits of this one is that you can apparently save some of the live bits so people can watch later. Not important for playing something half a decade old, but I am wondering if justin.tv allows for the same functionality.
I think I've watched one or two Nintendo conferences on ustre---
!!!!
Ustream! U!!!
Okay, I vote you put Nintendo's conference videos on the U stream.
If I can airplay the Ustream iOS app that might be how I watch E3 this year.
Maybe it will be like the GameCube era, where they loaned their characters to certain games like Link in Soul Calibur II or Mario, Peach and Luigi in NBA Street and I want to say SSX.
E3 2011:
+ The Orchestra Opening (The fact that it was one of the highlights of the WHOLE E3 tells how boring it was overall.)
+ The Zelda HD Demo
+ Luigi's Mansion 2
+ Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS
- Padding (I mean talking about Pokédex 3D, really?)
- Botched Wii U Reveal
- Not a whole lot of new software

It was pretty awesome to Zelda like that I get chills everytime I watch it regardless if it was a demo video or whatever.

I hope Shinen makes a FAST sequel on Wii U, preferably retail but by now I know it just isn't that likely at all.
I like just how damn close it is to Wpieout, hell I didn't touch one until I played the Vita game at a demo station and went "damn, FAST really is like Wipeout".
And just look at what Shinen pulled off:
I don't know why people compare it to F-Zero (which I haven't played, I'm more interested in the punching Falcon than the racing Falcon), at least other than gameplay, since the designs and such look straight from Wipeout. Really all that's different are some gameplay elements (no weapons it seems), and the courses aren't as futuristic.

I still hate the pad. So much. Button placement looks awful. Pads instead of analogue sticks. Jesus christ.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough but I mean some game that is fan service. You know, something to get the fans all hyped to the max and drooling. It would obviously have to have profit potential to be developed.
Oh please don't go there
I know. I'm sure you've seen the DPI comparisons but something > than the iPad one is fine by me!

As I've said before, wait for the Nyko Subscreen Pro.
I won't comment on buttons and their placement until I see the final version, but yes, it could be better.
A lot.
(I actually want analog triggers.)

Anyone else felt like the Smash Bros Wii U/3DS announcement was out of place at this show? At that point development hadn't even started yet.
It's too bad the controls in that game are downright terrible

You and me both. Luckily it's not the final design

Brawl was announced in the same manner.
Sakurai wasn't even with Nintendo.
Wasn't Brawl announced with a trailer though?
I guess they just do it do extremely early generate hype, in which case it worked pretty damn well.
Haha, I'm just teasing really. I liked Brawl, but I liked Melee a lot more. And yes, Melee purists are the loudest, and, at times, the most irritating.
Brawl's a great game. Melee transcends it.

You're certainly right the opportunities haven't been there. I just have an inkling any exclusive content will have to do with the controller functionality not some substantial exclusive DLC or timed exclusive DLC. The functionality will be nice, but the controller is the selling feature of the console, not the graphics like 360 or PS3. Developers should utilize it especially since the screen will be easier to work with than waggle.
If Nintendo really is in bed with EA I could potentially see something big come out of that. Ubisoft is also a possibility but I think it will be more likely a repeat of their Wii and 3DS support: dump a lot off at launch and dribble out games afterward. So many small developers have been soured from WiiWare getting exclusives from them will be an uphill battle. Apparently they were very cooperative and friendly to get people on board but lost the goodwill from bad business decisions (size limit, submission process, payment, etc.). Hopefully for them they haven't burned too many bridges.

It's like all they originally had was a tablet, then realised at the last minute they probably need sticks and buttons, and threw them on the sides.
Those I've spoken to who went to E3 2011 said it was quite comfortable to hold, which I expect as Nintendo makes comfy controllers. But christ, that button placement. It looks so bad and awkward.
And no matter how many people tell me the pads feel different to the 3DS, I cant have faith in them. Not until I try it for myself, and am sold on pads over sticks.
It's seriously the most bafflingly unappealing Nintendo controller I've ever seen. And I like the touch pad / screen concept. But all I think when I see that is "god I hope all the good Wii U games use the superior and wonderful Wii Remote + Nunchuck".
Formally, with a name, yes. But "a new Smash Bros. will come to the Nintendo Wii" was announced before development had begun, and before Nintendo had secured Sakurai.

i've come around a bit. sticks on a flat surface would have felt weird, so the top would have needed to have some sort of curve or something. buttons do look weird.
the worst thing about the pad is the design of the sliders themselves. tiny little nubs that have a sharp grip instead of the smooth one that's on the 3ds.
also i want lots of support for the cc pro or wii remote + nunchuck when available.

Yes, this too. The nunchuck has proper grip, but not the 3DS, and it's horrible. This too looks horrible. No grip! NO GRIP!

Oh okay. I expect a trailer this E3 then. Get on it Sakurai.
This something I've worried about quite a bit since they revealed the controller.

Remember the original concept had sticks over pads.

Ahhh, this shit takes me back to 2000-2001, when everyone shat all over the GameCube controller. Seems we will never learn the mistakes of the past, will we?
And everyone please stop talking about the slider pads. I don't want to have to repost the same thing I do every time this is brought up, but I will when provoked.

I have a question.
How hard is it for someone to get into E3 when they have no industry affiliation?
no, i mean the slider pads have this concave design, like the 3ds's slider pads, but the edges of them have this additional grip (the same sort of thing that's on the nunchuck analog stick). it makes the slider pads feel like they have sharp edges.

I'd like to see a modular controller, like one of the 3DS prototypes:
That way we could place the Dpad/Sticks/buttons where we wanted to depending on the game being played.

Based on how many times I replayed the E3 2006 video, that'd be enough for me as well. A CD video seems most likely.

Eh seems annoying in the long run. I'd rather developers make sure their games have Wiimote and CCPro support as well as uPad
