E3 2015 | Nintendo Digital Event
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
Graphics wise, its looking pretty good to me. I mean people complained about Splatoon, Mario 3D World, Mario U, Mario kart 8, and other first party WiiU titles, then once they hit people go on and on about how good they look.
it's a good thing their digital event is a relatively small part of their e3 presence

It's all about transformation
We've transformed our Direct from the fucking awesome event it was in 2014 into shit

Well, I was sure that the Wii U would be supported throughout 2016 into early 2017 at the earliest, but they announced nothing for the Wii U. So I guess the Wii U is pretty much done after holiday 2015, save for Zelda and a Pokken port. And I guess the NX really is a home console then, since it now feels like there's more on the horizon for the 3DS than Wii U.
How could they fuck up so bad

Guys, it was so bad that SQUARE ENIX might surpass them. FREAKING SQEENIX.

Most disappointing conference since the Wii Music one... No appearance from Retro is even more gut wrenching.
I still don't understand what they did with Animal Crossing on Wii U
I mean what the fuck you can sell lots of consoles and games with one of the most acclaimed AND sold games on 3DS that would be beautiful with the current-gen engines
But no, Nintendo chose to make a mario party-like with expensive NFC toys
No news of Pokemon Tournament too

Really worried about Star Fox watching this gameplay. Looks like they've slowed the action way down to accommodate for the gyro controls. What a bummer.
What's weird is that they COULD have had a great conference. They had Ryu and Roy confirmation, there's Mother 1, there's still Xenoblade X, we know Retro is working on something most likely for Wii U. They have the games, but the presentation was just weirdly empty. They may have spaced things out a little too much.

Well.... That jumped the shark.
Once again, i'll be buying a Nintendo Console for like... 4 or 5 games.
Splatoon
XenobladeX
Bayonetta 2
Star Fox
Maybe Mario 3D World
Maybe Mario Maker
Edit: Honestly, the more I watch this Treehouse, the more I don't want Star Fox... I feel like I played this exact game 15 years ago...

Pathetic
As with all things, it's like Nintendo had a successful year last year but they have no idea why it was good. It wasn't the goofy shit and the (sometimes) boring Dev stories, it was the awesome games that were built on new and classic IPs. They missed the mark so badly this year.
All I got is that they are killing time by making 3DS games and that the Wii U is fucking dead, Zelda or no. I thought we would see something else for Wii U as I thought NX a handheld device (with unified software) and that we would still get some Wii U support, but what do I know?
And is Next Level Games wasting their time with Mario Tennis?

Wow. They're really preparing for mobile because 90% of things shown looked like they were made on a shoestring budget.
3DS alive and well though lol. Wii U though... looks like an early wrap. I know they said games shown are through early 2016, but let's not kid ourselves. By 9:30, I thought to myself, "Should I just take a nap?"

why would anyone buy an NX. Nintendo is proving they're inept at supporting home consoles anymore. I am pissed I forked over money for a wii u. What a waste.
That looked pretty cool actually. Would like to see a Eternal Darkness x Fatal Frame game now.

Everything was 3DS
Wii U is an afterthought.
I just hope that this means everything has shifted to the NX and that the new platforms have a great launch.
I am glad I am so behind on releases (Captain Toad, Bayo2, Hyrule Warriors, Deus Ex HR) and that I have a PS4.

I'm not sure they'll even bother with a Wii U release, leaving the console without a main Zelda game. What a mess.

If it wasn't for the small handful of games that I want to play, I would have already sold the console. Starfox even looks awful.
...it had a positive change today though?
Yeah, I'll put them above EA at least, below or equal to Ubi though.

They should have shared NX details so people would understand they got nothing.
Maybe my expectations weren't lofty to begin with, but I was pleased just to see western/us dates for the few games I'm most excited to play in my WiiU. I guess in the scheme of things that's pretty underwhelming when compared to yesterday or even the stuff Bethesda showed. But I didn't come away crushed either.
Seems like it's being rushed to make holiday cut.
Here's the thing. A lot of what was there was good. (Mario Maker, Starfox) but there was nothing really new that was exciting. I have no real energy to look for anything about those games after the conference. Also the fact that a good majority of the titles were 3DS not WiiU was telling.
I genuinely believe if you like/liked Nintendo it hurts worse.
Because they literally let everyone down with anyone who had any expectations or wanted something from their favorite franchise, sans perhaps Paper Mario.
Like honestly, I'm not just let down, I'm disappointed with this.

Didn't Nintendo say that there would be no Zelda at all? They flat out told us.
My expectations were pretty low once they said that there would only be a focus on 2015 games. I pretty much assumed there would be no bombs. That's what happened.
Top Down Zelda this year > 3D Zelda next year.
I'll agree that this was a shitty, shitty, shitty Direct for Wii U fans. But it was a solid Direct for 3DS fans. New Mario RPG, new top-down Zelda (with online multiplayer), new Metroid Prime Hunters. I'm happy about that.
REALLY disappointed. I took the afternoon off from work just for Nintendo and they have me disappointed me at E3 2008 levels. Truly deceiving. They are letting Wii U die and not caring at all for all of us who own it. You know what? They said that they focused on 2015 and early 2016 titles, but it happens that in 2016 they will launch the NX, so all E3 2016 will be dedicated to NX. No more Wii U titles. They are LAUGHING AT US IN OUR FACE. Metroid? Have a f****king spin-off that could be made by an indie studio. Animal Crossing? Yes, a party game. Zelda? Sure: an awful cooperative 3DS game.
Nintendo has been transformed, yes, Reggie, you are right. You have now become the company making the minimum effort for their users.
I lost my faith on this company today.

I'm not even mad, I think this whole thing was actually quite entertaining lol
But if this is all they have in store for the next 9 to 12 months I really start wondering if they'll launch the WiiU successor earlyer than expected.
Fire Emblem Fates and X are still nice though. I just wished Metroid would stay dead for another year or two... until they have something actually good to show. I don't even know what they are trying to achieve with the new 3DS game.
