Nintendo X Platinum Game OMGZZZ

 

[Agent Unknown]

That conference made me hungry, who wants to get lunch with me?

E3 is a shitty time for Nintendo fans. It's too early from the holiday for them to announce titles that are still under wraps. My guess is we'll start hearing about 1st party efforts in August or September.

Are you kidding me? How would it have HURT their holiday season sales to simply announce whatever Retro, Monolith, ect. are working on? I'm sick and tired of Retro being so underutilized by Nintendo, it's like they shove them into this dark, top secret corner.

Honestly, all Nintendo had to do to win E3 was announce some games. Even if it was just announcements with titles and placeholder pictures and a few seconds here and there of in progress demo footage of what they're working on and NOT talking about Sing, Nintendoland crap ect, they would have won! Wouldn't have been a huge victory of course but 100x better than what we got.

"use this clip to attach it to your body."

ouch :/

 

[Ryaaan14]

Do those social meters measure people saying it was shit?

 

[Papercuts]

Do people really think this was worse than Microsoft's? Really? It may not have been great but it at least had games with one of those being Pikmin 3 and another being a new Paper Mario.

They have a new console to sell, they failed massively. That's why it's much worse comparative to me. Similarly, Sony shunning the Vita hurts them bigtime for the conference in my eyes.

 

[Marco1]

Where was 3D mario, metroid, mariokart, etc ?
How can you possibly launch new HW with pikmin FFS!

 

[d00d3n]

Nintendo conference was the worst. Launch lineup for wii u is laughable, even worse than 3ds. With such an utter lack of quality software they should have ripped off their own wii launch strategy and delayed zelda with some added features.

 

[gerudoman]

I can't believe I'm seriously thinking on skipping a Nintendo home console. And this year my expectations were lower than before...

 

[tusken77]

Genuine question. Why was Nintendo's conference shorter than the other two?

 

[Javier]

Man, I really hope the post-show and the 3DS conference tomorrow deliver. I need Fire Emblem confirmed to wash out this sour taste...

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

Disappointed but some expectations were incredibly lofty.

Still had the most games that I would want to play.

 

[Schrade]

ROFL. The online social buzz is NEGATIVE, Reggie and Geoff. More != good in this case.

 

[KKRT00]

nintedo won E3 its done

Nintendo just won e3

Nintendo already won lol.

Nintendo wins!

Nintendo announcements are the best. People have been waiting for this forever and instead of just giving them a teaser or whatever they instantly lay it all down.

Already best conference

Best conference already

Gold, just gold

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

Wait- Nintendo's publishing a Platinum game and they DIDN'T put that in their press conference? What kind of simpletons were planning this thing?

 

[Scoops]

Wait Platinum Games published by Nintendo!!?!?!?!

And it wasn't in the conference?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Reggie just knows how to talk.

Guy is smooth.

 

[Donnie]

Their focus on Arkham City should be troubling to all Nintendo fans.

This game will be a YEAR OLD by the time the WiiU launches.

What is going on?!

Obviously none of the newer third party games they announced for WiiU were ready enough to show. At least Arkham City Armoured Edition isn't just a straight port, it should be the definitive version of the game.

On the conference itself, very disappointing, I just hope info from the show floor can be more interesting.

 

[Frankenstrat]

This was just...bleh. Was not worth waking up for.

 

[GitarooMan]

I can't believe there wasn't even a racing game. Racing games and console launches are basically synonymous.

 

[Kusagari]

They drop the fucking megaton of Platinum now, and not at the fucking conference?

 

[Nevasleep]

Social buzz, but is it good or bad...

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Platinum?

Published by Nintendo.

Interesting.

Project P-100?

 

[bluehat9]

I like how they show these charts of who is getting the most comments on social media. If only you could show how much of that is positive and negative. Nintendo would be leading there my a mile too.

 

[Tremas]

I look forward to a deliciously scathing Edge review.

 

[Brizzo24]

 

[140.85]

The fireworks at the end was surreal in it awfulness and inadequacy.

 

[Einbroch]

Nintendo is straight up stupid. You think casual gamers watch press conferences? No. They don't. So why waste time with it? The reporters will report the casual shit.

Why don't companies get it.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Kamiya, please save Nintendo

 

[ToastyBanana]

I predict many no, yes, I see comments from Kamiya on twitter.

 

[TCRS]

I just can't get my head around this. How can you be in such a unique position with a new console and everything and still fuck this up in such a monumental way? It's just... wow.. srsly.

 

[Danthrax]

i can't figure out who is who in this family

yeah, the mom looked 18

I was OK with that, though

 

[M-PG71C]

Platnium Games exclusive title? Whatever it is, WHY THE HELL NOT IN THE CONFERENCE.

Go figure, Nintendo has their head up their ass as usual. Should be good.

 

[Brinbe]

EA/UBI future

lol good job geoff

 

[Quicksilver4648]

Yep, Ubisoft won E3. No questions asked.

 

[StevePharma]

It's gonna be Metroid Other M all over again with these Nintendo X famous dev collabs!

Nah just jokin', let's hope it's good.

 

[likeGdid]

E3 2012 = M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender

 

[Septimius]

They had a year to figure out how to do this conference. They have the resources to hire people to develop the presentation for a year, and probably even did. And this is what they come up with?

 

[bonesquad]

I think we know why MS and Sony didn't bother talking about their next systems yet...

And I'm guessing Nintendo didn't announce a price yet because they wanted to gauge people's reactions. If it was huge like it was when they showed the Wii, they would jack up the price. $300 is looking expensive now...

 

[MrMephistoX]

Wait Platinum Games published by Nintendo!!?!?!?!

And it wasn't in the conference?

Mad World was exclusive...just saying.

 

[codhand]

I feel bad for journos, who came expecting megatons, and left having to report on wii u fit.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

All the Nintendo Fans Konexed themselves the first 5 min of the conference "Pikmin! Best conference evar!!! All over my face"

 

[1138]

I was so hyped for Nintendo's E3 show, even changed my avatar and all. Nintendo didn't show anything that makes it worth it for me to buy a WiiU. I really wonder what Nintendo's dev teams have been up to for the past couple of years, because they haven't given us any substantial console experieces.

 

[ASIS]

so do people still think nintendo won this e3?

LOL I can't believe how hard they fell, Pikmin 3, then 23 WII U GAMES!!.......then the worst ways to waste your time.

I'm REALLY happy for Pikmin 3. But one game is just not enough.

Sony won out of the three.

 

[npm0925]

Valve should announce a console tomorrow.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Platinum Games WiiU exclusive?

SHUT UP AND LEMME SEE

 

[Dreams-Visions]

lol. Reggie is bullshitting.

It's the same fucking game, Reggie.

 

[bluehat9]

NintendoLand is wii sports, but we're going to charge for it and not include it with the system like wiisports.


Geoff going at reggie on old ports, good.

 

[SarcasticD]

Why the fuck they waited until now to mention the Platinum games project and not at the conference?

 

[Schrade]

Yes, make Reggie uncomfortable Geoff!!
