I think Nintendo stating that they are researching VR is thread-worthy.

Probably better to wait to have the official translations first...

Let them hype NX up. They didn't hype of wiiu and look how it did. Hype sells my friends.

 

[R00bot]

See, to me though those are all great examples of why unveiling it doesn't matter, since their competitors all suck at this stuff.

Still, having competition out that can do the same stuff as your system is not going to positively impact your sales.

 

[MK_768]

Yeah, Sony stuck a gyro in the PS3 controller in the six months between the Wii controller reveal and E3 2006.

By 2009 Sony had Move revealed and Microsoft had Kinect

Yeah, Sony has a history of copying Nintendo. It's a valid excuse for Nintendo but some gamers seem to think it's absurd.

Yeah, but Nintendo probably doesn't want to count on that. TheyThe competition only has to not suck at it once for it to be a major problem

 

[Übermatik]

Well to be fair...

Oh man I haven't seen this in AGES.

 

[javac]

Also Skyward Sword was not a great seller for a Zelda title anywhere.

Didn't help that it was a Wii Motion Plus exclusive, not just from an adoption perspective but also a conceptual one as that probably put people off at the gate.

 

[Jintor]

Yeah it's really odd

Has me thinking it's tech that's readily available and potentially cheap, but hasn't been applied to console gaming yet

vitality sensor is BACK

 

[Ōkami]

Nintendo not ready to talk about movies yet.

Miyamoto working directly with Universal on the theme park stuff.

DeNa helping on new mobile project.

Out of time! 2 more questions.

 

[FZZ]

FWIW the PSVR was still disappointing to me this year too

But I did get to try Oculus and although small things like it being less comfortable were an issue, the game I played was so much more fun than any of the "demos" Sony offered

Also bigger FOV is huge and helped out a lot

Oculus made me more excited for VR than PSVR did

vitality sensor is BACK

Lmao

 

[Doctre81]

Oh man I haven't seen this in AGES.

lol what is that from?

 

[wishdom]

2 questions left.

Hmm nothing new there. Really long Q&A session

Having not tried either, what's the FOV like on these two? I kinda assumed they would both be pretty close to your usual eye FOV (I really can't think of a better way to put that).

 

[mookie]

Also Skyward Sword was not a great seller for a Zelda title anywhere.

True but it was released at a time when many core Nintendo fans were occupied on other consoles and waiting for the next gen. Still sold ok though.

 

[Ōkami]

Q: With Wii U's terrible (but realistic) forecast sales and 3DS well past it's peak, shouldn't forecasts be lowered?

A: It's cool, the Pokemans will bring in the money.

They're essentially betting on sales of 3DS software this time.

 

[wishdom]

Q14: With the Wii U dead, why 3DS expectations are not lowered. Please give detailed breakdown.

^ Edit: Beaten

 

[Doctre81]

NX manufactured in china confirmed? lol

 

[ffdgh]

Let them hype NX up. They didn't hype of wiiu and look how it did. Hype sells my friends.

Is that really hype though? Seems more like paranoia lol. Must admit I'm more curious about what the heck it is though.

 

[balgajo]

jp slides already up?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Oh my what did I miss?

Checking Twitter right now!

Are they releasing a new Hotel Dusk?

 

[FZZ]

Idk how to describe it without butchering how it actually is.

Oculus was closer to the regular eye FOV, actually for me it was more meaning I could look around and see more rather than just looking straight. PSVR was more looking straight and how your eyes align just looking straight ahead, but the issue I had last year which they still haven't fixed is that there was bleed through where my nose was. Meaning the VR experience as a whole was kinda ruined because light was coming through the center where my nose was, and my nose isn't even that big fam.

Not much.

No.

Kimishima legit shook by Brexit.

 

[10k]

Advanced augmented reality. Projecting heads up displays and stuff. That's my theory.

 

[GregLombardi]

I'm gonna laugh when this idea or gimmick ends up being hated on by the masses and laughed at by Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo has a habit of thinking their ideas are the greatest ever and then failing to read the market or poorly executing the idea.

If this brand new concept doesn't blow people away I will laugh because they are hyping it up like it's the next Wii.

So you did in fact have an agenda.

Good to know.

Ah gotcha. I knew PSVR would have to cut costs somehow, also explains how the PS4 is able to power it when you need a MUCH more powerful computer for Oculus. Thanks man that helps a lot, hope to try VR myself soon enough, just haven't come across a headset in the wild yet.

 

[BY2K]

Wait, NOW they are prepping NX manufacturing and how much?

So the Foxconn thing was wrong?

 

[Calm Mind]

Kimishima legit shook by Brexit.

As should we all be.

 

[Ōkami]

Last question.

The gaming industry's biggest problem are increasing development time and costs. How are you approaching this?

 

[balgajo]

Not what I can see.

Was curious to know if they released TP:HD sales figures.

What Oculus game did you try?

 

[FZZ]

Advanced augmented reality. Projecting heads up displays and stuff. That's my theory.

Holograms. Amiibos.

Bank on it brehs

What Oculus game did you try?

Some multiplayer arcade racer where I was the camera like Lakitu. It was like Mario Kart.

and it was something super simple yet I enjoyed it much more than I would've just playing the game normally.

The demos Sony had at E3 were just boring in comparison. Btw I didn't get to try out Batman VR or RE VR because Sony fucked up day 3 and stopped using their reservation app.

 

[Zubz]

Nothing hypes like "we can't talk about it."

I mean, as someone else already pointed out, Nintendo was eager to show off the Wii U, and it turns out it was because they didn't have as much faith in the second screen aspect after tablets took off. If Nintendo's keeping the NX's gimmick close to their chest, it's probably something big and interesting.

Big? Edible fish amiibo?

On a more serious note, they could just be doing that to avoid tons of analysis GamePad received pre-release. By the release time a lot of people were convinced it's not much of a deal.

 

[Ōkami]

There won't be any slides, just a transcript of the QA.

They won't release TP figures here (and most likely never)

Waluigi in your face.

 

[wishdom]

3M breath of the wild have to be sold to recoup costs of development.

If I understood that right.

 

[Gutss]

Miyamoto said NX was to be shown at E3, needs to be finished before information is released. They don't want nobody copying their ideas.

Zelda was really popular though.

I called this, and someone mock me saying something like im a delusional fanboy, am i right Kingsnake...

 

[ffdgh]

Big? Edible fish amiibo?

...Well that squid sisters amiibo video fits this description.

 

[Doctre81]

Wait, NOW they are prepping NX manufacturing and how much?

lol of course it was

 

[R00bot]

Waluigi in your face.

Waluigi needs his own mature rated game. He can be to Mario what Deadpool is to X-men.

 

[Rösti]

The Q&A session has now ended.

 

[DecoReturns]

Pretty good Q&A

 

[javac]

They've been working on Zelda for more than 5 years.

 

[jax]

NX is going to be fine, VR or not.

True but it was released at a time when many core Nintendo fans were occupied on other consoles and waiting for the next gen. Still sold ok though.

Nice avatar.

 

[Ōkami]

3M breath of the wild have to be sold to recoup costs of development.

If I understood that right.

Eh.

Something like 100 people are working now, 300 people worked in one point or another, 5 years in development.

Then something like a title (not necesarily Zelda) needs to sell 2m worlwide to be a success and how in the struggling Japan 300k is a hit.

 

[WiiU0706]

So does that mean that the NX will be in production in July
