What are the chances that nintendo cashes in on HD re-releases of HD GCN/Wii games?

You must have missed the speculation that they were experimenting with using a stereoscopic visor.
As far as Crysis 3 is concerned. Crytek already said it wasn't coming. The only logical explanation I can think of is that they didn't receive dev kits in time or that they don't have the staffing to do it.

I could see them doing some limited digital releases of HD GC games, like they are with the 3D Classics.

Or that EA doesn't think it will sell on there.

Well, that should be obvious. Some (but far from all) games will incorporate two (three?) screens as a fundamental design element, just as some (but far from all) DS games were designed around the dual screens. There'll probably be other games that could and should support a controller-only mode, but will be from lazy devs that don't bother to implement one.
How well did Crysis even sell on the HD Twins? Fans of the series had an uproar when it was ported. EA obviously thinks Crysis could survive on consoles.

They've had kits since at least E3 last year, so that's not it.

I believe Crysis 2 was a million seller, for however much that's worth.
I imagine the numbers are going to be inherently lower for Crysis 3 because it won't be on Steam.

There better be.
CryEngine 3 is already running on the Wii U. They've confirmed it. Homefront 2 is running on the same engine as Crysis 3, and will have a Wii U version.
Crytek Frankfurt already gave a reason for not doing a Wii U version of Crysis 3 - they say they don't have the resources to develop four versions of the game simultaneously. Crytek UK is the only part of the company that even has a dev kit.
Ah thanks.

I take that as a good thing. Doze games will look guddd.
You should go back and listen to some old podcasts from that era. Between November of last year and today, I have listened to over 400 episodes of Nintendo-centric podcasts (the pseudobanned site and two other Nintendo fansites' podcasts) starting in 2005 before the Wii arrived.
My findings? The predictions, concerns, bullshit developer comments, honest developer comments, gaming media treatment - it's all so incredibly consistent and obvious in retrospect. And more than ever, I am convinced that a system's inaugural E3 sets a tone that is incredibly difficult to break free from.
So... I shouldn't buy a WiiU then?

Nah, Pachter already told us all it'll be a massive failure, and he's never wrong.

He said it would be the Dreamcast. This means it should have a game as great as Crazy Taxi.
I'm in.
Rösti;37684495 said:Nothing special, but full floor plans are up now (only West Hall was shown in the PDF Sony supplied): http://www.mapyourshow.com/shows/index.cfm?Show_ID=E312
In case you haven't seen it, Nintendo's booth (4822) is located in West Hall. Microsoft (4100) and Sony (4522) are there as well, it appears changes have been made as they now only have one booth each instead of two (as reported on the PDF dated March). So, no Durango or Orbis, then? Nah, amount of booths/booth size shouldn't reflect what a company intends to show.
Activision, Capcom, Electronic Arts, Sega, Square Enix and Ubisoft, to name a few exhibitors, reside in South Hall.
Following the addition of the floor plans, we should begin to see a rather steady addition of exhibitors under the Wii U product categories. Capcom used to be on the list, so perhaps they will be readded.
what the... zynga has a closet... yet, gree has a huge booth... considering they have like three products in north america... o____O
I don't know.. wasn't the PS3's initial reveal pretty stellar..
It wasn't until the following year with the Giant Enemy crab and 599 that it became a joke

Gree (whom I just looked up) probably feels that it's advantageous to get the word out in order to make inroads into North America. Zynga has this territory by the balls now and doesn't really need to build mindshare.

Source? All I've seen is the "not a fat chance" interview.
The PS3's inaugural E3 was in 2006. You're right - it was pretty good, except for the jokey headlines. (and while I'm at it: Sony does a pretty good sizzle reel, I think.)
I'm not counting mini-reveals like the Wii U's from last year.. I'm talkin' about the E3 right before a system launches.

Is that the E3 with the phony FF7 trailer?

This will be a long four weeks until the conference. Every time I see this thread it just reminds me of how far away it is.

Hah, it was a bit long to be considered a "mini" reveal. But it was definitely more of a teaser than a blowout. A lot of the questions answered this time around will give us a concise idea of what Nintendo's game plan is. There are so many variables that will have to be unveiled then. Not just stuff like "which games does it have" and "how fast is it", but things like "Does Nintendo plan on early profitability", "what further actions is Nintendo taking to secure third parties", "What are the limits on the digital downloading ecosystem", all sort of stuff like that!
It's going to be slightly exciting.

No Sega Dreamcast?

sounds about right. It's asking which console won not which toy won.

They're obviously asking who won second place.
True. I'm struggling with the wording here, but you've got the idea.
(I'm still trying to come-up with E3 Bingo squares, and your questions may be giving me ideas.)

And I've never heard of Playfire until today. Then again, I'm probably not their target audience.
Absolutely that will happen. If the O/S requires a TV, I'll eat my hat.
not really
Certain games REQUIRING the TV is still possible. But the basic interface won't need it (or there will be an alternate interface available).

God dammit. I just used a reaction gif, so I can't use another one.
So it seems Sony may not be televising their presser (not quite sure if the site confirms it)

I wonder if this whole G4 business will mean Nintendo's won't be televised either.

Less than a month away until E3! Hoping to see some amazing games.
I don't think "PC" counts as a console either, for that matter, haha.
I know what you mean. I don't really count the Wii U's reveal as a real one, seeing that very few launch games or details were shown. It was obviously more than a teaser though. I guess I like mini-reveal well enough.
Huh? I dont think Joystiq knows what they are talking about. G4 always streams sony and Nintendo

do they ever? I know spike always has MS conferences but I can't remember if they air the others.
Either way streams are better, everything looks like shit on Spike.

Assuming G4 still exists by E3.
Most likely. I doubt that Nintendo has signed a deal, and Spike only cares about Microsoft.
My laptop's screen sucks so much ass.
Hehe good point, theyre dropping like flies over there >_>
What G4 business? The thing with Sessler?
