Nothing! I said nothing!
I couldn't really argue with Nintendo winning E3. I hope they have turned a corner now.

What about Treehouse?Ok, since it's been talked about YouTube views, here's a comparison between conferences, through several channels, not just the official Nintendo/PlayStation/Xbox ones.

*=amount of views from the search page, not from each video pages, where there's just a "No views" instead of the view amounts.
If you want, I can do the same for 2013, just to see differencies and other things.
I'd hate for everyone to skip conferences for the Treehouse format because I love my spectacles, but I have to say the focus on ACTUAL GAMEPLAY over PR fluff made me buy a Wii U.
What about Treehouse?
e3 was just the beginning of nintendo bomb droppings.
just you guys wait...

Do people NOT realize that you can do a Treehouse format AND present at the press conference in the same year?
Nintendo hasn't posted full Treehouse videos, just specific segments. Still

The amusing thing is that Nintendo showed 12 games on their digital event with a half of them dated to 2015 and beyond and nobody complains (which it's ok with me, I understand games take time to make) while sony and ms showed 40 games each on their conferences and every thread is "everything was 2015"
Doublestandards I guess
Mario Maker (I actually want it), Toads Treasure Tracker, Yoshis Wooly World, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario Party 10, and I'm sure I'm missing something. Mario Kart just came out. How many recent Mario games have been on Wii U or 3ds? It's just getting nauseating. They've been doing this since the N64/GameCube and I can't really take it anymore.
These are youtube video views, not concurrent stream viewers. Don't twitch and youtube document the metrics for their streams?
What do you know? WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!?!e3 was just the beginning of nintendo bomb droppings.

The main Digital Event was perfect for the majority of people who get their news via internet and like Reggie mentioned it helped frame some of the announcements and showings better than if Yoshi or Splatoon were revealed in front of an audience so much more damage control there too.
The cherry on top was Nintendo's own Treehouse though, I've seen that 40min vid for Xenoblade X like 5 times now and it was great to see people demoing the games for who were familiar with the games, the developers and everyone else.
How the majority of media has taken the news that they are no longer such a big part of the puzzle is great. I don't see why game reviewers should be held up on a pedestal and good to see that Nintendo is cutting IGN out especially. To see IGN award Microsoft the best E3 is literally a joke and has further cemented my opinion that their analysis and reviews don't really matter to me any more.
IGN continues to disappoint me in every way.I just saw the IGN nomination list for best Wii U game at E3, and Splatoon wasn't even on the list.

*sigh* IGN please...

As I said in another thread, there's a reason sites like IGN, GS and GT are becoming obsolete.If that's how you react to that, I highly recommend you don't look at IGN or Gamespots lists. Splatoon isn't the only thing they don't mention.
Someone should start a thread about this. Kind of depressive, when Nintendo actually does something right, they are simple ignored. This screams like a agenda against Nintendo.How the majority of media has taken the news that they are no longer such a big part of the puzzle is great.

Doesn't matter.While I think that is a great idea, especially if people could put a good thread filled with evidence together. You just know people on here are going to scream conspiracy theory and Nintendo fans having a persecution complex. It's what always happens regardless of the evidence.

IGN hasn't been worth reading for at least 4 years, if not longer.
lol Captain toad
Much, much longer if you ask me. I remember being tired of them way back in 2005 or so.
He most likely got banned because he constantly posted in a console warrior tone. There were some points where I felt like I was on Gamespot System Wars again.
Love that line of the article. "Will it save Wii U? Nope. But it might save Nintendo." Or something like that. Nintendo's tactics this E3 show that maybe they've wisened up a little and actually have what it takes to compete with Sony and MS. They hopped on the indie and dev support bandwagon before Sony did (yeah yeah yeah.. After they turned their nose at third parties.. Let's leave the past in the past)
Wii U is what it is at this point. An underperforming console with a chance to end its life with a great selection of some incredible games. But if this is actual momentum Nintendo as a company is generating, maybe they'll be able to do something with it for their next system (that doesn't have the word Wii anywhere in the name...)

definitely agree with this. Feels like they fired the whole marketing dept and hired some actually competent guys
No doubt they had a great e3. They did what they needed to do. Show the hardcore fans that jump day one onto this system they are backing it with greats games. I have been very down on the directs but that one was great.
I just brought a wiiu for my nephew. Really have a ton of great family games. He is just loving it. Nice to be able to share games I play growing up on nes.
Will it start selling like hot cakes...no... but that really doesnt mean much.
IGN's Nintendo coverage is pretty good these days. NVC is one of the best Nintendo-focused podcasts out there. I can't speak for the entire site though.
Well you can get it for $200 with nintendoland. Super good deal imo...It depends on the crowd but hopefully when I pick one up next year it's gone down in price.
