They really should have kept Zelda even if it was just a small new showing.
No wonder, Nintendo E3 showings hit a new low today.
there was no way they could top Sonys after what they showed anyways
Did you watch the same Mario-driven trainwreck? I couldn't even believe what I was seeing.
They've been in that mode since the Wii U was announced in 2011.It feels like Nintendo has been a constant state of "please understand" and "we'll do better" mode for the last 3-4 years.

He basically told us "Baby, I can change". lol
Horizon, Dreams, and a host of others are 2015/2016.
And why do people draw in other consoles/companies? This is some fanboy level shit.
You better bring it in 2016 Iwata
Every Nintendo fan on Sunday..
They sure didn't harbor dat goodwill
NX to launch with Metroid, Zelda, Mario, F-Zero, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Battallion Wars, Fatal Frame, Pokemon, Earthbound, Bayonetta 3, Vanquish 2, Metal Gear Rising 2, Half Life 3, free online with dedicated servers, proper account system, every NX comes with a free Oculus Rift, Prey 2, all within the first year.
I think the biggest reason for the criticism is that most of the "big" titles have been shown in Nintendo directs before, such as the Xenoblade X, Mario Maker, and the FE games. Nintendo didn't have any big bombs to drop because they were announced earlier. There is less hype in one day but more spread across the year. I think I prefer it this way, but if they find a way to make E3 even more hype without sacrificing the directs' hype, I'm all for it.
Zelda U will likely be shown in a direct before next E3, and people will likely say that E3 wasn't hype.
5 billionth times the charm, am I right guys.It feels like Nintendo has been a constant state of "please understand" and "we'll do better" mode for the last 3-4 years.
I find the dev talk stuff fascinating. Am I the only one?of course people are going to be pissed when 20 minutes of their E3 presentation is developer story shit
they will win everybodys hearts back next year with a new console and more zelda
I know this is an unpopular opinion....
But I don't think it was as much of a disaster as everyone is saying.
There's some awesome games coming out in the next 6-9 months for Wii U and 3DS.
All this while obviously prepping 2 new platforms.
They could have blown everyone's minds and announced stuff that will be out for NX in 2017 or whatever, but stuck to what is realistically being released soon. It's not like NX is not getting Zelda, Mario, etc. how much better would the conference really have been if they said "new metroid in 3 years" and showed a logo and nothing else?
Just saying... It wasn't an amazing conference but it wasn't terrible imo.
The lack of any significant internal developer presence indicates all hands on deck for the NX.
I wouldnt expect a big home console metroid game even on their next platform tho, you would be setting yourself for disappointment
It really was dire.
I've no idea what they were thinking when they decided not to show Zelda U. My only guess is that they didn't show Zelda not because they didn't want to but because they couldn't - because the game is still hugely unfinished and not fit to show.
...when the NX is released
It's not about turning around the Wii U. It's about not making their fans feel shat upon and that's exactly what I felt. We were all hyped for an animal crossing Wii U, we got a Mario party clone. We all wanted a new metroid, we got that joke of a game. All Nintendo had to do was cater to their die hard fans and ride out the Wii U, they chose to remix their franchise and crap out some quick and completely unappealing games that goes against EVERYTHING we wanted.Poor Iwata. In truth, I don't think that any game they showed would have turned around the Wii U, and I don't blame them at all for moving the majority of their development resources to the NX.
Emergency direct inbound

Since Sony can get away with gaining massive hype on 2017 games, Nintendo will join the party
I find the dev talk stuff fascinating. Am I the only one?
People keep saying this, but the Wii went its last 2 years on fumes, and the Wii U's first year was still weak. Nintendo's been saying for 20 years that they'll address the gaps in their release schedule, particularly at launch, and they've failed to do so.
Why would the NX be any different? And now they have mobile to cover.
