CVG: No Nintendo hardware reveal this E3 company confirms
- Thread starter dc89
- Start date
If QoL or nothing is hugely disappointing to you, its your expectations there is something wrong with. I expect them to announce some awesome games, which is what they said they would. If they deliver on that promise I am happy.

I never trust Nintendos "response/comment" on stuff like this...
Friday: No new DS revision is under development.
Monday: Shows new DS revision.
Would LOVE a gamepad controller based on the gamecube controller, the gamecube controller just melted and became an extension of your hands.

Here's a fan mock up to whet your appetites!!

:lol Not this shittu again
Where has this rebuttal come from? Because if it's from Nintendo UK they know nothing about nothing.
What it says in the CVG article.
Metro in their article say the rebuttal is from Nintendo UK.

So - it's the exact same thing pretty much?

NOE UK responded to CVG because they are UK based. In this very thread, dawg said NOE Belgium responded to his Belgium based website. See a pattern?
They never did that.
It should be hugely disappointing to anyone who wants to see Nintendo right the ship.
New games for a handheld in decline and a console that's been rejected in the market isn't going to get it done. They need another "third pillar" plan now.

No Reggie flat out denied it then a few days later they announce it
Now once again with the actual quotes, to judge properly?

That's the ugliest mock-up I've ever seen.

They did. Flat out denied the existence of a new DS revision on multiple occasions, then they very soon after announced the DS Lite.

Yes, but what would they know!?!?!! NCL doesn't share information with their subsidiaries.
Why would anyone need another one?

Came here to post that.
Either way, it's way too early to put out a successor to the Wii U, and he 3ds is still pretty strong. They might show a revision of something though.
Again: A UK spokesperson said he doesn't have any knowledge. If that is " We won't reveal new hardware", than I can't help you.

For the 3DS they did. I remember one poster going absolutely bonkers about how Miyamoto lied and he couldn't trust him any more as well as Nintendo as a whole.
Miyamoto said something to the affect of "we are done with the 3DS(OG) and we are satisfied." E3 is over and the XL is announced. I took it to mean that he meant that functional upgrades for the system wouldn't happen like the DS to the DSi? I forgot what the last generation original DS was called but it could do things the DS and DS Lite couldn't.
Probably already said, but if this rumor spread and became bigger before E3 it could hurt them. It's just around the time when they release their biggest game on a struggling platform, they can't let people believe that the next thing is already around the corner - they have to make MK8 happen, even if it means commenting on rumors.
It was already hurting them. I saw numerous people say they're holding off on purchasing a Wii U with Mario Kart because of it.
Miyamoto said he is happy with the 3DS hardware. He deflected, not said they won't reveal anything.

I am not saying it is, the comment was more about the DS revision, which they denied existed for ages and then.. oh look we actually do have one!
I would imagine if it was anything it would be a revised Wii U, maybe with the expensive flash memory removed, or a redesign. Or maybe something with their QoL project, and that might be as soon as next week when we learn something new. Maybe.
So now the denial is being taken as a confirmation? Wow.
They would be out of their minds to announce a new Mario Kart bundle that is releasing only days before E3, only to turn around and reveal a new console that they just denied. Does anyone really think that they would consider burning so many people like that? It would destroy already fragile consumer confidence.

If they announce Star Fox and F Zero I would not be bothered by the lack of new hardware, I'd just buy a Wii U and enjoy that
This is the digital age, no time to think, only react.

This reminds me of two years ago, when MS denied they'd be showing new hardware at E3 2012. OMG THEY MUST BE LYING

Only thing I can think of is Nintendo might want a cost cutting replacement for the vanilla 3DS.

Who exactly are "representatives of the company"? As has been pointed out many times already.
At the same time if they did know you would not expect them to reveal due to the same chain of command I kind of outlined above (plus wouldn't it suck if Iwata's thunder was stolen by a "sure theres a DS lite").
For the record I did not think new hardware was particularly likely.
David Yarnton (then head of Nintendo UK) famously said that the day before NCL announced the DS Lite. Nintendo UK get translated info from NOE Germany who in turn got their info from NCL so you can see how such a thing would happen.

They denied the 3DSXL revision and said there would be no hardware revision at E3.
Then after E3 they released the 3DSXL trailer.
I'm just saying a denial means nothing or everything

Could have been this don't really remember what revision its was or if it even was DS or 3DS. Just that DENIED one week, and the week after TADA new revision!!!
No screen no fun. (imho), but will get a Wii U pro controller as soon as I find a white one bomba cheap.

Edit: I can't really find a real quote about the DS Lite, just comments of the journalists.

Anyone with some sense knew this
Nope. We had a official statement: It is a rumor.
A Miyamoto statement: He is happy with the 3DS.

I was. They're not going to just abandon their current hardware this soon. Factoring that in, the last thing they need is everyone pinning their hopes on a new announcement, and potentially even putting off purchases in anticipation of it. Better to put the rumour to rest asap and be transparent about what's in store.

It is, but the gamecube controller was on another level, for its time. The Y, X, and B buttons were around the large A button, rather than equally spaced like pretty much every other major controller. It was different, but it worked, and it was comfortable, it did just conform to your hands. The triggers also had that little "click" right at the very end, though I'm not sure how many games used it, since I don't remember. The Wii U Pro Controller doesn't have very good triggers, in my opinion, even if buttons might make more sense. But the thumbsticks are quite good, not sure about the d-pad.

It seems like a lot of people are taking Nintendo's denial as a confirmation, or at the very least taking it to have no meaning.
That's fair enough, but I sincerely hope that you all keep yourselves from posting endless threads about your disappointment and your realization that Nintendo is going under when they fail to reveal new hardware at E3.

Usually there is silence or no comment about a leak. I wonder how many execs were high fiving each other with smug grins in their ability to say 'no we don't have any new hardware that would be an attempt to turn this company around'.
Still when I heard about QoL I didn't expect it to be new hardware either but a software platform that can be integrated into other hardware so they still may have something in the works but it won't be ready till 2015 at the earliest.
[edit]
I forgot about that. Oh boy well I guess we can ignore what Nintendo says.

Well duh. We didnt hear any leaks and saw no smoke which was a clear sign there was no fire.
Next year is totally the year for new Nintendo hardware though. I expect we will start hearing rumours before the year is out.
