What the fuck was Nintendo doing for the dead years of the WiiU?

This question has been asked for:

SNES (N64 launch)
N64 (Gamecube launch)
Gamecube (Wii launch)
Wii (Wii U launch)

Nintendo makes a ton of games. I don't think people realize just how many. But, they can be SLOW.

 

[ultrazilla]

Wow really let down by Nintendo here. That was terribly weak. Where are the games?

 

[greycolumbus]

Yo Pauline is the MAYOR!

 

[F!ReW!Re]

Good stuff Nintendo and good night GAF

 

[Morokh]

That was mostly lame if you ask me ...

Xeno 2 looks horrible on top of the very questionable character design, they got their filler games in full swing (Kirby / Yoshi) the rest is 2018 or teasers ....

Really on the fence about the new Mario ...

 

[sirap]

So much for "wait for e3" :/

Mario was insane but I was hoping for more announcements. Still, happy that they've acknowledged Pokemon!

 

[SmackAttack]

What was that release date!?

October 27th.

 

[Kamina]

Where the hell is the Virtual Console.

Thats what i ask myself too

 

[NathanS]

Mayor Pauline!

 

[zeioIIDX]

Mario be like:

I'm a Goomba!
I'm a GOOOOMBA!
Suck my diiiiiick!
I'M A GOOOOMBA!

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Pauline confirmed mayor.

 

[bounchfx]

I'm satisfied. Easily the best showing as far as actual games and titles. And no Skyrim lol

Fucking Pokemon, Metroid, Yoshi, Kirby, Mario, ROCKET FUCKING LEAGUE.

Just want Mario maker and animal crossing now.

Edit: holy shit lol some of you are let down? The fuck

 

[Servbot24]

Wait, people were underwhelmed by this? What the fuck were y'all expecting????

Nintendo fans are utterly insane. This was better than should have been expected.

 

[Takat]

they really need a better quality feed, everything looks so low quality...

 

[Kindekuma]

Yup, Pauline confirmed.

 

[March of the Crabs]

Mayor Pauline! That's awesome!

 

[Frillen]

*We're only going to showcase 2017 titles.

Immediately shows Prime 4.

Anyway, Assassin's Creed, Wolfenstein and Super Mario all on the same day. First world problems.

 

[friskykillface]

No vc is a joke
Nintendo hates money confirmed


Smash brothers wii u port ain't happening :/
Wait at least 2 + years for smash brothers now
Welp

 

[Not]

It's Pauline all right!

 

[Oblivion]

Godawful music for the trailer, but at least Mario moves fast now.

 

[ASIS]

He's using split joy cons!!!!!

 

[Kane1345]

Lost my shit when I saw "Metroid Prime 4" on the screen. I don't like Mario games usually but Odyssey is definitely something I want. Not much else interested me and I think Ubi overall had the best presentation.

 

[Wanderer5]

Well that was good. Some solid showings, and even a couple nice teases that weren't much (ala Metroid), but still ensuring.

 

[Kureransu]

Pauline confirmed mayor.

came here to say this!

 

[darkistheway]

Mario wins E3.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Maybe I'll consider buying a switch in 2018 then.

 

[Sponge]

At this point I bet the Switch Smash is a whole new title and not a port of 4.

I can already hear the crowd of people screaming "Where's Cloud/Megaman/Pacman etc?"

I really was wanting a port because nobody wants to lose the roster.

 

[galvatron]

"Is there a better way to spend free time? Nope"

 

[SoundPulse]

That was about what I expected, but my expectations were at rock bottom anyway.

Kirby looked cool.
I'll care about Metroid when it materializes as an actual thing.

 

[Condom]

Mario looks great, creative direction

 

[demosthenes]

Showing Mario now:
https://www.twitch.tv/nintendo

 

[jman2050]

LOL this is literally Sonic 2006 right now.

EDIT: Aesthetically I mean.

 

[Zedark]

Pretty good show, the Yoshi game was a surprisingly good-looking game! SMO looks awesome, Rocket League is a big get, and Xenoblade and FE Warriors are definite gets this year. I'm happy!

Oh, and a mainline pokémon game probably next year? Awesome!

 

[HassanJamal]

Lol, the way Mario just jumps nonchalantly on people.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

That was better than I expected! GJ, Nintendo.

Smash for January Direct?

 

[Version 3.0]

Metroid Prime 4?

No, I mean their current game. Donkey Kong? You know, the one that should be done, or close, as of now?

 

[kmax]

The presentation was solid. It was too thin though, so I expected more. Had they shown more on Metroid they probably would have won.

Second best presentation 5.5/10


Final score

EA 2/10
MS 2/10
BS 3/10
Sony 3/10
Nintendo 5.5/10
Ubisoft 6/10

Congrats Ubisoft for winning E3!

 

[KiNolin]

Guess I can wait for Switch's real launch in another couple of years, when things like Metroid, Fire Emblem and No More Heroes are more than project names. Mario is looking really good, but not worth the hardware.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

The amount of Easter eggs this game is going to have will be ridiculous.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

What the fuck was Nintendo doing for the dead years of the WiiU?

research apparently!

 

[Mariolee]

Nintendo DELIVERED

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Mario was moved up?

 

[clay_ghost]

Mayor Pauline .I guess Mario only date powerful woman lol.

 

[Ithil]

Wait what?

That was it? Metroid 4 was the only big announcement. Was expecting more...

They casually dropped that there's a full core Pokémon RPG coming for the Switch. That's an announcement 20 years waiting.

 

[digitalflame]

The actual least interesting way possible to announce two of the most wanted announcements of my life (Metroid and console Pokemon), leaded by killing my hype for Xenoblade 2 with no Japanese language and followed by killing my hype for FE Warriors with shit characters.

What a terrible conference with great news.

 

[VanWinkle]

Man, Odyssey's image quality is ABYSMAL. :-(

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

DAT MARIO LORE HOLY SHIT

They actually went and got the usa cartoon ideas, but instead of calling it new york they call it new donk city.

The main theme was AMAZING btw.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Yo Nintendo!! Fucking killin it today lol! Didn't even expect this

 

[HardRojo]

7/10 conference. Concise and straight to the point.
Would've given it between 8 and 9 if they showed footage of Pokémon and Nintendo, even CGI stuff I guess.

No Smash is a bummer, I thought it'd be there after Mario Odyssey for sure since there were 5 mins left and I swear I heard Reggie said "4 worlds left", Mario being the third announcement after that, unless I totally missed something.

 

[Griss]

Wait, people were underwhelmed by this? What the fuck were y'all expecting????

Footage of Retro's new game? For Xenoblade 2 to look like a good video game? Footage of Zelda DLC Pack 2? Smash Bros and/or Tropical Freeze ports? Virtual Console details?

There was a ton I was hoping for that we didn't get.
