Wow Nintendo don't over do yourself, ONE whole playable game.

Spoiler

That's one more than the competition will bring /jokes

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

This is weird.

 

[Ansatz]

Weirdly.. I quite like this move.

...if you're going to go crazy..it's better to go batshit crazy.

Nintendo is going all in.

This is exactly how I feel. I'm actually loving this, I always wished Nintendo would distance themselves from E3 to complete the full transformation into bubble mode.

I knew NX would be the last straw for many fans and that it would get ugly, but I never expected it this soon and like this.

 

[Tookay]

Pretty clear that NX got derailed by something.

I seriously doubt they intended on having all that floor space for Zelda Wii U alone.

But what do I know?

 

[everyday math]

I'm waiting for the fake leaker to come out and say GOT YAH!

This is pathetic. Those lines tho are gonna be long.

E3: Nintendo changes its approach to the show every year. This June, Nintendo will focus its attentions on the upcoming game in The Legend of Zelda series. The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion. Additional information about Nintendo’s E3 plans will be announced in the future.

[SatoAilDarko]

Doesn't this also point to NX also having a handheld component?

If they're not gonna have any playable 3DS games either.

 

[Symphonia]

So it would appear Nintendo is quite happy to dig their own grave and lie in it.

R.I.P

 

[Steeped in a Sea of Games]

I feel like my hype train just drove off a cliff and landed in a pool of acid.

That clears it up. Thank you.

NINTENDO IS AMAZING, never fails to surprise me.

 

[ShogunDarius]

I said this in the other thread but i'm gonna repeat it, after last E3 Nintendo said they'd do better at E3 yet it looks like they are going to do even worse this year.

 

[Sami+]

No.

"The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show, in order to provide attendees a complete immersion."

lmaooooo

this companyyyyyyy

 

[fabricated backlash]

I mean I didn't expect much but I'm still underwhelmed.
Just amazing

 

[Bots are better than you]

I'm pretty sure no one, ok ... no sane person, thought/thinks that NX won't have a handheld version, or rather that Nintendo won't make a new handheld. ^^

 

[The Giant]

What the fuck is going on?

 

[Übermatik]

I remember Twilight Princess having the majority of floor space like 8 years ago, but this is on a whole new level.

This COULD mean two positive things:

- Zelda is really fucking good, and they know it
- NX is set for a VERY rich lineup

 

[Geraldo_Ray]

I'm not even sure what to think of this.

 

[Neoxon]

This quote interests me.

Nintendo will design the latter game so that it will be connected with the world of Animal Crossing for dedicated gaming systems.

Animal Crossing NX confirmed?

 

[Semajer]

Really? Not even Paper Mario: Garbage Splash? What's Treehouse Live going to do? 72 straight hours of repeating the Zelda demo?

 

[tanooki141]

Are you fucking me?

I'm astonished.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Sounds like everything is coming to NX.

 

[vinnygambini]

Animal Crossing NX confirmed?

Complementary apps like we had on Wii U most likely

 

[plentyofmilhouse]

Nintendo are never a boring company to observe and speculate about, I'll give them that...

Really interested to learn more about the game, still really excited for it, but there's no denying this news dampens my hype for E3 2016 in general. Despite a few disappointing recent years, it's still Nintendo I lean on to deliver good stuff out of nowhere.

After the backlash last year, feels like they're really trying to manage expectations.

 

[The Giant]

What's Treehouse Live gonna play?

 

[NESpowerhouse]

I cant' wait to see all of the "most anticipated games of 2017" lists and see this motherfucking game on them again.

Spoiler

Or maybe everyone will just be so sick of waiting and just omit it entirely.

 

[KamiCrit]

So what if you go to E3 and you're not a Zelda fan?

The Kimishima gamble is real!

 

[MicH]

What the hell is going on :lol

Brace for an even more disappointing Direct than last years, people

 

[AdanVC]

What's Treehouse Live gonna play?

Federation Force !

 

[Chaos17]

I am not gonna beleive it until I see with my own eyes.

 

[Kikorin]

At least some indie games? I understand Wii U is dead and all, but...

Anyway I hope this means NX will have a really good line-up from the start.

 

[grandjedi6]

There's no fucking way. Even Nintendo wouldn't devote that entire floor space to one game.

[Mr. RPG]

What the fuck is going on?

I don't know. Let me know when you find out.

 

[KOHIPEET]

#teamcompleteimmersion

 

[vareon]

Yeah, I'm bracing for Nintendo's worst year ever.

 

[Elfteiroh]

The wording on that PR make it sounds like there won't be 3DS games playable either.

But I still get the feeling it won't means there won't be new game announced.

 

[NoFaceNico]

Leaked images of Nintendo's E3 booth:

Holy shit.


I was about to post this but I SAY GODDAMN!!!

 

[starmud]

For the wiiu, I could believe it... I don't get this for 3DS at all. I mean, there has to be 3DS games being announced or demo'd...

 

[NESpowerhouse]

What's Treehouse Live gonna play?

Splatoon

 

[Tookay]

Yeah, I'm bracing for Nintendo's worst year ever.

And we thought last year's was bad.

 

[OléGunner]

I am not gonna beleive it until I see with my own eyes.

It's in official Nintendo PR though.

And this is such a crazy move to pull.
It hilariously makes sense Nintendo would do this.

 

[ffdgh]

Splatoon

Playable Octoling reveal hype! /s

Ahaha, thats very optimistic.

How about: Nintendo doesn't have anything else to show, is struggling badly with NX development and is throwing out a bone to its hardcore fans?

 

[Graphics Horse]

Wii U shortage in Japan was because they needed to make enough demo units to fill the whole e3 booth with Zelda.

 

[Possumowner]

I'm guessing at there conference we may see what other games are coming to NX.Well I'm holding onto my straws

 

[YAWN]

Cheers for the complete immersion Nintendo. I'll feel part of the world despite having 400 peaople behind me standing in line.

Let's fucking hope so! But now I'm worried that due to the shitty limitations of the Wii U, the NX version will suffer as well and would not be that impressive in terms of scale/graphics/etc.

 

[Chittagong]

Can't make this shit up, good lord

 

[Exterminieren]

Utter fucking lunacy.

If all you've got is a single inferior version of a game, why the fuck would you bother?
