[AGITΩ]

...why wasnt this at the conference? Everything else we already expected. This would've turned the conference around.

 

[Derrick01]

Why didn't we hear about this at the show? Because they had to show us NSMB 1.5. Or was it the Wii game? Or Wii U game? I don't even know, they all look the same to me.

Anyway I'm glad it's coming. I have a soft spot for these games.

 

[Milkncooke]

Why didn't they say anything at the conference? Is it not coming until next year? Why would it take almost a year to release it in the west? What's going on? And where is Layton? I just don't understand.

 

[Ragus]

From last Nintendo Direct.

So, Europe is getting it earlier?

 

[djplaeskool]

Only thing I can think that they wouldn't highlight it is because it's 2013 and beyond.

 

[18-Volt]

Great, now give me Layton and Devil Training too. Oh and take your Transformers shit back, nobody wants it.

 

[CSX]

WHAT WAS THE 3DS CONFERENCE FOR?!?!@#?!@#?!@#?!@#?!@#?!@#?@#

To rile our emotions

 

[udivision]

the fuck is wrong with these people?

Men Who Stare at Bananas.

 

[Gravijah]

...why wasnt this at the conference? Everything else we already expected. This would've turned the conference around.

'cause it's fire emblem and it'll probably hit wal mart clearance bins within a few months.

 

[MoogPaul]

Best/only good news I've seen all week.

 

[mclem]

No, they completely ignored Project P-100 at their conference.

Nintendo-published. Probably should have specified third party publishers' efforts!

 

[Oni Link 666]

President of NoA.



And?

Haha. I know who Reggie is, dude. I mean the random guy on Twitter. >_>

 

[kittens]

Why in the flying fuck did they not announce this in the 3DS presentation.

 

[Emitan]

So it takes a year to localize a game now? Not like it would cannibalize sales as the people that want FE are going to get it either way and the casuals were never going to get FE anyways.

Have you seen the 3DS's release schedule this holiday?

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

No, they completely ignored Project P-100 at their conference.

But had it featured on Spike and their show floor 2 hours later. It really is weird.

 

[Metroidvania]

Woooo!

Here's hoping it's early 2013 and not fall/winter.

 

[Freezie KO]

It seems they're trying to not mention ANYTHING that isn't hitting this year.

I hope they realize this is a failed experiment after the backlash they will get.

 

[The Technomancer]

I genuinely don't understand why they dedicated the vast majority of not one, but two conferences to things we already knew about. I appreciate the gameplay demos, especially in the 3DS conference but the complete lack of novelty was incredible.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

The only thing at E3 I give a hoot about.

 

[Vanillalite]

Seems like if you want stuff that's more core focused and you want it on a regular time schedule at least as far as handhelds go it's iOS or bust right now. If you are on the 3ds or Vita bandwagon much like on the DS/PSP your still stuck with either not getting certain titles localized or else waiting like a year if not more for localization.

Lame :|

 

[jj984jj]

No, they completely ignored Project P-100 at their conference.

It's not going to upset any publisher if they don't show it, it's a Nintendo release.

 

[B.K.]

Don't listen to Reggie's lies!

 

[Croc]

Best/only good news I've seen all week.

Same.

I finally have something to live for.

 

[dragonlife]

I cannot believe Fire Emblem is not worthy enough to be mentioned in a conference. I'm happy as fuck that it's coming; ecstatic. This is one of the best announcements for me.

 

[branny]

Nintendo-published. Probably should have specified third party publishers' efforts!

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Teknoman]

I guess this really is Nintendo not trying to show up third parties...but it still doesnt make for good looks at conferences.

 

[Dark Schala]

Well, I'm happy.

I'm still disappointed that they didn't talk about this sort of thing (with just a logo, even!) during the conference. It's one of their IPs so it should at least be mentioned.

 

[iammeiam]

Only thing I can think that they wouldn't highlight it is because it's 2013 and beyond.

The lack of a '2013 and beyond...' slide at the 3DS conference is just weird. It would have taken, like, ten seconds to flash up a list of things they plan to release here next year. Wouldn't have taken away from the rest of the conference at all.

 

[LOCK]

It is probably a January or February title, hopefully, so this is probably why it wasn't mentioned. Same goes for lots of third party titles.

 

[zroid]

Yep. E3 is saved.

holy shit

 

[Instro]

It seems they're trying to not mention ANYTHING that isn't hitting this year.

I hope they realize this is a failed experiment after the backlash they will get.

In theory its a sounds idea, talk about stuff coming soon so as to not overshadow them with larger announcements of games down the line....if you didn't hype up mega conferences like they did with E3 lol. I'm guessing they will start talking about 2013 stuff in their fall conference.

 

[Levyne]

It is probably a January or February title, hopefully, so this is probably why it wasn't mentioned. Same goes for lots of third party titles.

Is it bad that I think "Jan or Feb" is optimistic?

That said, I'm just glad it's coming.

 

[Mistle]

 

[Busaiku]

So this must be IGN's mystery game?

 

[hemo memo]

is this real life?

 

[Vanillalite]

Have you seen the 3DS's release schedule this holiday?

What am I suppose to be seeing? There's Castlevania and well Castlevania if you want a core title that doesn't have Mario or Mickey in it.

 

[Salsa]

People thought that was Michael Pachter?

ROFL

 

[bernardobri]

 

[Hours Left]

This was literally the one thing I needed from E³.

Such a weight off my chest.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

This was literally the one thing I needed from E³.

Exactly how I feel, man.

 

[Kusagari]

Code of Princess?

 

[BatDan]

Okay, I've calmed down and I'm excited this is coming.

Still, if the reason they ignored it is that they're releasing it in 2013, that's pretty lame planning. Hell, for all their franchises and third party titles.

 

[LiK]

From last Nintendo Direct.

So, Europe is getting it earlier?

i'm gonna assume NoA is piggybacking on the NoE localization like they did with all the Operation Rainfall games.

 

[Emitan]

What am I suppose to be seeing? There's Castlevania and well Castlevania if you want a core title that doesn't have Mario or Mickey in it.

New! Super Mario Bros 2, Paper Mario, Luigi's Mansion, Castlevania, Mickey, Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Diggeh]

[Pappasman]

same here. Fie Emblem was the one thing I needed from E3.

 

[ratcliffja]

You guys are fortunate. I wish Layton was confirmed.

 

[Neuromancer]

One piece of good news and they couldn't even bother to say it during the presentation. Good job Nintendo

 

[TL4E]

The "fire emblem won't come until 2013 so they didn't announce it" argument makes no sense. Paper Mario was shown at E3 2010 (2010!!) and Luigi's Mansion 3DS at E3 2011, but those won't come out until holiday 2012.

It's just incompetence. Even if FE didn't come until 2014, it would have been 100x better than threediots or whatever.

 

[Alex]

It is probably a January or February title, hopefully, so this is probably why it wasn't mentioned. Same goes for lots of third party titles.

Code of Princess, Zero Escape, etc didn't get mentioned or shown, it's a shame. Sure it's all niche but that fucking THREEDIOTS thing gets a hefty preview?

I would have paid fucking DLC money to not have to have seen that shit.

Twisted priorities, really.
