Didn't they just release a new Wii U bundle? Would they really announce a price cut just days later?

1) Everyone is complaining about that in this thread.
2) Only 3 games had CG trailers, but again, no one was happy that the Zelda trailer was just CG.
3) They really didn't and in this case, that might have been an issue. Nintendo's was too short IMO.

Great show, but they needed to announce a price cut to $250. If more of those awesome announced titles were coming this year, then they could have gotten away with no price cut. But 2014 is still pretty light. Wii U will continue to limp along.

is there something wrong with that? people enjoy Pixar movies.. Nintendo is the same thing. They appeal to a broad audience. there is nothing wrong with that. If you don't like it that's fine.
I was at the E3 theater thing for Sony last night and hearing the entire crowd cheer and laugh at the violence on screen is a different kind of entertainment not better or worse.
It's over, period. Nintendo lost their last ace, and that's the end of their Wii U hopes and dreams.
It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for Wii U. Nintendo has nothing left, nothing they can reveal tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in a Wii U. Except if they want to play Zelda U. Which will come to PS4 at some point.
The age of Nintendo is done.
Am I doing this right?

Playable Zelda in Hyrule Warriors makes me so happy!

Agree.
Too bad they won't win 2014.
I'll have time to buy a Wii U in 2015 but there is no reason for me to get one instead of a PS4.

Less chatting, less Smash, in fact less Mario-verse in general, and more new stuff. Any other company would get laughed out of the room if they spent several minutes in a half-hour show announcing a new character in a fighting game.
1: You mind directly linking people who said Nintendo won with 2015 announcements and criticized MS and Sony?
2: There was very little non-gameplay from Nintendo.
3: At least we're not getting numbers discussions for a while like Sony.
Actually, I prefer they support AC 3DS a bit more and try to create a game on Wii U that feels better than an iteration than publishing a AC U* just 18 months after the 3DS one.
* damn AC U is already used
Eh, it was decent, there's just no OMGWTFBBQ reveals, probably because everything got leaked a month before the show.

Nintendo really impressed me with that.
Bayonetta 1 included with 2 and Nintendo costumes was a nice surprise.
Zelda looks amazing, Splatoon looks interesting.
Yoshi game looks jaw droppingly gorgeous.
X delay is unbelievably lame.

Quick, where are the other funny parts?
1. I agree, but not really unexpected considering Nintendo's early troubles with HD and third party relationships.
2. Nintendo showed gameplay for just about everything so I don't know what you're talking about.
3. Nintendo didn't spend ages talking about non-game related content, so again... don't know what you're talking about.

So I shouldn't own a Wii U and therfore never be able to play all the different varieties of Mario games available (Mario Party, NSMBU, SM3DW, etc.), Bayonetta 2(Bayo 1 included in the disc as well, AWESOME!!!), Devil's Third, TLoZ Wii U, SSB Wii U, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles Wii U, SMTxFE, Yoshi's Wooly World, Splatoon, Kirby's Rainbow Curse, Captain Toad???
All exclusives to Wii U and so I should pass? I don't think so.

See, this is why I give the edge to Sony. All conferences had the same 2014 schedule (2 big exclusive games). People moan about CG Uncharted when we got CG Zelda. I liked what we got out of the conference, but Yarn Yoshi went on for way too long and we knew about most of the games coming. Overall, 2014 was pretty week. That being said, E3 2015 is going to be awesome!

I wonder if the 3DS roundtable really is going to be Majora's Mask 3D. I can't see them spending all of that time on Pokemon remakes, and they didn't exactly show any significant 1st party 3DS games.
Everybody of all ages play more "asscreed" and Halo than Mario games. That's the problem. By continuing to offer them on a system nobody wants, Nintendo's IPs are depreciating. Simply put, people are going to forget about Mario and Zelda if Nintendo keeps them walled off and not on hardware people actually own.

Oh, Reggie is on IGN's stream.
I agree with you bud. You speak the truth. This event just gave a small tease of Zelda with no gameplay. They addressed no criticism and are continually making themselves irrelevant. They always seem oblivious to what people want.
They have millions of 3DS owners who are now abandoned.

What the heck was with those Robot Chicken Sketches? it felt REALLY out of place and cringe worthy.

I agree with everything besides the bolded. Has zelda ever had a cg trailer?
Microsoft - 9 games, games, games, Halo 5 gameplay would've really raised the bar, Unity looked amazing as did Division
Sony - 8.5 would've been 9 if they didn't waste that half hour, Arkham Knight, UC looked unreal
Nintendo - 6 almost nothing in that video appealed to me... Zelda art style was interesting, open world sounds amazing though
Ubisoft - 7.5 - Two real big low points but Rainbow 6 was beyond ridiculous and Division/Far Cry/AC Unity looked great
EA - 4 - What was that? Save for the sports games and the Sims, they had nothing ready
Sony - 8.5 would've been 9 if they didn't waste that half hour, Arkham Knight, UC looked unreal

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
I forgot I watched their conference 2 hours after doing so.

I thought the big 3 all had great games and which you prefer is just down to your preferred franchises. Based on games alone (and realistic expectations), I'd rate them pretty much equally, but adjust ratings slightly based on the pacing and quality of the presentations. Aside from EA, which seemed to be a work in progress for their E3 2015 presentation.

8/10. Had me right up until you said the 3DS is abandoned.
I had low expectations so I'm not super disappointed or anything, last year was my year.
Captain toad was a nice surprise, I hope it has a retail release.
The Zelda reveal was weird, they hardly showed anything although it looks graphically quite similar to SS. I'll have to hear more as the show goes on to form an opinion,
So refreshing to see so much unscripted gameplay. Watching all the scripted stuff at the other press conferences was just awful. They're like light gun games with a controller.

I really liked that show.
I don't think any of these are strong enough arguments for his complaints.
