Rip Bill.

 

[boxter432]

This video didn't work for me at all.

Even if they went for deliberately cheesy, it didn't work.

Not sure what the demographic is that there were trying to hit.

Nintendo fans.
People over the age of 3
Humans
Video Game fans

That was really fun! If they're going all out on the championship again then they need to do the stage right.

 

[Regulus Tera]

They did a Smash tournament last year and that was really nice to watch even if they were all amateurs.

The Smash Invitational had a bunch of pro Melee, Brawl, and Project M players. The final was between one of the best Brawl players (and current Smash 4 Apex champion) and the best Jigglypuff player in Melee.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Oh man, this Gif is gonna get a lot of mileage.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

So the digital event is happening at the same time as Square Enix's event?

Yep, SE did it to themselves though. They pretty clearly scheduled it for the exact same time that Nintendo has done their presentations in the past, so I can't see how they thought Nintendo would move from their time just to accommodate SE.

 

[Cbajd5]

COME ON TANNER, GIVE US MOTHER 3!

 

[Shadow_FFVI]

Digital Event is on June 16th at 9AM PT, so yeah at SE's time?

Choose wisely.

 

[Owzers]

Video was great, I wish Nintendo had the games to back up how much i like them sometimes.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

So the digital event is happening at the same time as Square Enix's event?

Looks like it -____-

Are these happening before or after Sony's conference? Might get an insight to what SE has there otherwise I'll be tuning into SE's event instead of Nintendo's. I

 

[Axispowers]

Sorry bill :/

 

[Roubjon]

That had Mega64 written all over it haha. Pretty funny.

 

[HUELEN10]

Choose wisely.

Big N it is.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

Mario Maker is going to be their flagship title for 2015? L m a o

I don't see where it was implied that Mario Maker is THE flagship title of 2015. Because it can be demoed at Best Buy?

 

[TheHall]

Its just a funny video, not much too it.

I wouldn't say it's JUST a funny video, it's a piece of Nintendo branded media.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Seeing Reggie playing Donkey Kong Country made me hope we see a new DK game announced (either DK Returns 3 or Diddy Kong Racing 2).

My... PRECIOUS!!!

 

[Delicious Waffles]

So good.

 

[phanphare]

There's only so many pre-show hours to use that have reasonable international viewing times.

If you ask me, Nintendo and Square-Enix should have, like, talked and Nintendo shouldn't be conflicting with a major third party's conference, but Nintendo gonna Nintendo.

you mean Square gonna Square

this is Nintendo's usual time slot

 

[Falifax]

This was defo done by Mega64, they did the last year's E3 announcement as well.

 

[wapplew]

Hardly know you SE conference, Nintendo, I choose you!

 

[mysteriousmage09]

So much for a new Punch-Out! game.

 

[Tratorn]

This video feels way too much "we have to repeat 2014" imo.

 

[GustyGardens]

So, World Championship qualifiers on May 30th. Nice.

 

[Regulus Tera]

SOMEBODY GET SIGLEMIC AND COSMO TO PLAY PLEASE

 

[HUELEN10]

you mean Square gonna Square

this is Nintendo's usual time slot

Someone gets it.

 

[dugdug]

There was more footage of the Virtual Boy than the Wii U in this video.

Hilarious stuff, though. Good on em.

This has been Nintendo's E3 conference slot for many, many years.

It's not really Nintendo's fault that SE decided to schedule the first conference they've had in many years at the exact same time.

 

[『Inaba Resident』]

So much for a new Punch-Out! game.

Were you expecting an announcement?

 

[Lights and Waves]

That was so damn cute!

 

[ioriyagami]

That was great.

 

[Mysterious]

I don't see where it was implied that Mario Maker is THE flagship title of 2015. Because it can be demoed at Best Buy?

The games demoed at the last two BestBuy E3 demos were the flagship titles of that year: Mario 3D World (plus other games) and Smash for Wii U.

Nintendo has always had that time slot. Tuesday, Usually at 9am. One day after Sony and Microsoft.

 

[GCX]

Current Nintendo is so weird. They've gone from Blue Ocean strategy to focusing exclusively on a caricature of their core fanbase.

Well the demographic of an E3 hype video boils down the absolute core of their fanbase so in that sense it's on point.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

This video didn't work for me at all.

Even if they went for deliberately cheesy, it didn't work.

Not sure what the demographic is that there were trying to hit.

It worked for most of us.

The games demoed at the last two BestBuy E3 demos were the flagship titles of that year: Mario 3D World (plus other games) and Smash for Wii U.

That doesn't mean that Mario Maker is the flagship title. It just means that Nintendo understands that Mario sells. The games they demoed at Best Buy were games that appealed to a large audience and they just happened to be the flagship titles.

 

[Cheezeman3000]

Hahahaha ok someone needs to add the GTA "WASTED" text when it greys out.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

So, World Championship qualifiers on May 30th. Nice.

I wonder how that is going work? Online events hopefully!

 

[Malvingt2]

Wait! what? why?

 

[Lunar15]

Tanner should've convinced Iwata there is a market for F-Zero while he still had a chance

I was half expecting this joke to be in the video.

"We'll make another F-Zero, and it'll be EVEN FASTER!"

"But Tanner, we already have 200cc in Mario Kart"

"FASTER"

 

[JoeM86]

Be fair. The 9am Tuesday slot has been Nintendo's go-to time for god knows how long, and arguably Nintendo is bigger than Square Enix. It's more Square Enix trying to horn in that "Nintendo gonna Nintendo"

Edit: Whoops, beaten.

 

[dampflokfreund]

This video feels way too much "we have to repeat 2014" imo.

Yeah, I thought they would add a real press conference, but since it looks like that they have nothing big to show this year its better if they do that next year.

Mario Maker seems to be the flagship game which is very sad....

 

[boxter432]

So much for a new Punch-Out! game.

you expected game announcements from this?

Digital Event is where things will be shown.

 

[miserable]

they should have had Kojima be the one who walks in on Reggie in the video

imagine the reactions

 

[Hoodbury]

You had one job Tanner, one job... and you blew it.

 

[JMDSO]

THE WIZARD 2015.

My body is ready.

 

[OnPoint]

OK so he's not really fired.

Awesome.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Seeing Reggie playing Donkey Kong Country made me hope we see a new DK game announced (either DK Returns 3 or Diddy Kong Racing 2).

K. Rool konfirmed

 

[March of the Crabs]

this made me laugh much harder than it had any right to.

 

[Gnilres]

Everything Nintendo does is reaction gif worthy. I actually did chuckle a few times in this video, the cheese and terrible acting makes these perfect.

 

[JoeM86]

Yeah, I thought they would add a real press conference, but since it looks like that they have nothing big to show this year its better if they do that next year.

Really? We're going to go down this road again? Haven't the last two years of people saying this proven that it's foolish to say it?

 

[FyreWulff]

why yes

Nintendo shouldn't conflict with a third party that supports Nintendo with so many tibwahaahahahahaha
