Nintendo E3 2017 Spotlight Thread: Not my problem. [Over]

What game are you most excited for?

Results are only viewable after voting.
Good stuff! Did not expect Prime 4. I mean it'll be a while before they show anything, but then we'll have Samus Returns to hold us over and the fact that it's coming is enough.
 
Fairly solid E3 from Nintendo so far. I really wish Metroid SR was co-developed for Switch but I understand why it wasn't. Definitely not expecting to hear anything Prime related so that was a huge shock. What could be keeping Retro from announcing their game?

I'm curious if they'll have anymore Switch reveals throughout the week.

Also no VC is still pretty disappointing. The Switch is basically begging for some great multiplayer N64/Gamecube games.
 
So that poster from here was a bit right...?
Two of something fans wanted (Metroid 2D and Prime), something from "Hal" (Kirby)...but what about the blizzard/snow/cold?
 
So...are we in the middle of a 2nd golden age of Nintendo software output? I have a feeling that when it's all said and done, Wii U + Switch era first party output will be much better than their GameCube + Wii era output (which was good, don't get me wrong).
 
Really solid 25 minutes for Nintendo, they dropped the bombs that are needed in a E3.

That 4 logo man. Xenoblade 2 in 2017. Odyssey looking amazing. And motherfucking Rocket League with Nintendo stuff and crossplay.

Anyway, I expect a Metroid Direct in august-september where they're gonna show something more about Metroid 2 and maybe a first look at Prime 4.
 
Mario Odyssey looks good, happy that Metroid's getting its due, and hyped for Kirby.

Given up hope on Mother 3.

One of Nintendo's better E3s in recent years, assuming the Treehouse stuff goes as expected.
 
Will eat some crow--I honestly didn't expecting them to live up to their promises of not one, but two Metroid games after Federation Force (even though Samus Returns wasn't in the Spotlight). Really liked the 3D World-styled Yoshi, and Kirby looks neat. Mario Odyssey looks absolutely baller as usual (and I'm honestly shocked it has a vocal theme. This is literally Nintendo's take on Sonic Adventure, isn't it?!).

Overall it was fine. On par wit MS and Sony's IMO, though Metroid showing up with both 3DS and Switch installments gives them a slight edge. Those were a genuine surprise to me.
 
Mario XCOM, Mario Odyssey, and Prime 4 (in that order) pretty much convinced me that I need a Switch in my life. Already had a hankering for BotW.

Look forward to picking one up in the coming year once they're readily available out in the wild.
 
Congrats Nintendo....THAT is how you do an E3! With today's announcements you have pushed me off the fence feet first into getting a Switch!

And that doesn't even mention the fact that i'll be playing Zelda: BOTW too!
 
It was an alright conference but I really don't like these "Now in development!" snippets without any game footage or information whatsoever. Pretty lame.
 
Nintendo killed it.

It's crazy that they did so much in 25 minutes. Everything looked great. I was really concerned about the time, but they somehow managed to pull that off.

And the majority of everything shown is going to be available THIS YEAR? Unreal. I can't think of a console that's been this stacked year one.

Nintendo wins E3 for me, hands down.

The only real challenger is Ubisoft.
 
The spotlight was much better than I thought it would be. Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon RPG for Switch, Rocket League, and Xenoblade 2 were all great announcements.

Why isn't a Pokémon game being made for Switch a bigger deal? Am I missing something?

I can only speak for myself but in all the years I've played the games on a handheld, I've always said it would be awesome to have these games on a console with higher production values. Well it looks like we're finally getting that.
 
Just got finished watching it. Yeah, Nintendo definitely won E3 for me. Mario Odyssey looks phenomenal. Metroid Prime 4 announcement was so unexpected but hype. RL on Switch is nice. New Kirby looked pretty sweet. New mainline Pokemon announcement came sooner than expected.

Grade: B
 
Think Nintendo "won" for me this year too.
Both Sony/MS didn't feel to announce much new, only more info/footages of games past announced, which I am still excited for, but was disappointed by the lack of new announcements. Sony did announce a bunch of VR stuff, but not massively interested, the main thing from Sony was Shadow of the Colossus for me.

Nintendo announced Metroid Prime 4 and at that moment I knew they won, ha ha. Then they announced Metroid 2 remake for 3DS. Mario + Luigi RPG stuff for 3DS. Yoshi Switch (Which I'm quite interested in), Kirby Switch (I'm not very interested in), Pokemon RPG Switch in development and Zelda DLC stuff.
Along with confirmation games I feared would be delayed are still on track for this year, though Xenoblade 2 is still Winter 2017, which is still a little vague and could still slip, we'll see.
And they somehow got me to care about 3DS stuff again, though... I still want full attention on Switch stuff after this last wave of 3DS stuff.

And of course stuff they shown from games previously announced has me hyped, pretty much all they shown I'm interested in, except Kirby/Skyrim really..., which Sony's did too admittedly, but I felt on Sony's side at least, not enough was shown for some of the stuff. Wanted to see way more god of war, but with Days Gone they shown enough to have me excited for it now, while before I simply didn't know/see enough to have me interested.

So yeah good job Nintendo, though the bigggggessssttt problem, no SSB Switch announcement. I really am dying to have Smash on Switch already, looking less likely it'll be this year :(. If they are planning on porting Smash 4, they better have added new characters/stages/etc. to justify the longer wait!
 
I know I must be blocking out the bad memories but that was their worst conference since 2012. Not even a CG trailer, just straight up a temporary logo for Metroid. Offhand comment for Pokemon. Zelda holiday DLC is not a Majora's Mask style spinoff. New games with footage:
Kirby
Yoshi
 
Very happy with this presentation, tied with Ubisoft, who had bigger surprises but less content I'm interested in. Mario's hat mechanic is fascinating and I can't wait to see how crazy they go with it, Metroid Prime 4/ Pokemon Switch is fantastic even though they said nothing about them, Yoshi and Kirby look like more great entries in their series, and the presentation was slick, speedy, and professional. I wish the Metroid 2 game was in the presentation and I wish they had said something about online/vc functionality, but you can't get everything I guess.
 
Been at work. Juat watched this. FUCKING ROCKET LEAGUE AND WITH CROSS PLATFORM PLAY HOLY SHIT WHAT?!

Kirby! YOSHI! FUCKING METROID PRIME 4 MOTHERFUCKERS HNGGG!!!

HOLY SHIT MARIO LOOKS STRAIGHT FIRE OMG SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY NINTENDO

Ahem. But no Virtual Console. At this point I aint even mad. Well played, Nintendo. Well played.
 
Just got to catch this. Yoshi looks cute, Kirby maybe...seems a little too similar to previous titles.

Skyrim Link looks like a bad PC mod. And I do not want more metroid prime.

Rabid Mario looks good. Rocket League is a great get.

Mario Odyssey looks good though some of the level themes didn't seem quite right. Bit too much of a mismatch, some of those grass and floor textures in particular. Should be fun though. Got some Sonic Adventure vibes from new donk city but the mexican themed level in particular looks awesome.

Not bad.

Only thing missing was a indie reel. They have a bunch of indie games in the pipeline and I'd like to know which ones are releasing the soonest.

Yeah that would have been nice, there's some decent ones coming already - maybe they didn't get any more? Hard to believe unless they've been that strict on indies :/
