I don't get posts like this. What does one thing have to do with the other? So a company only have games to announce when they do boring E3 press conferences?

Why does press conferences at E3 have to be boring?

 

[Coolluck]

Flagship Mario Maker reminds me of 2012 and it's so disappointing. Hoping there's something exciting at the event. Fun video though. They just don't care and it's great.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Despite Nintendo having the best "conference" last year, I still prefer the live conferences as opposed to a pre-recorded and edited video. Also, I wouldn't bet on Nintendo revealing a big game after the championship. I'm just struggling to see how Nintendo would even have a huge game at E3. Even if it's something like F-Zero or Star Fox, there is no guarantee that it'll be in the form you wanted.

"There is no Zelda or Metroid at E3, clearly Nintendo has nothing to announce". The obsession people have for these two (great) series gets a bit annoying at times.

They don't have to be it, but they always are. Of course this is subjective, but the Nintendo Digital Event in 2014 was much better than any E3 conference I watched.

 

[Escalario]

If Nintendo had had enough games for E3 this year, they wouldn't have to make silly videos like this.

People get really salty at the slightest possibility of Nintendo having the best E3 again.

4/10, try harder Junior

 

[jroc74]

I lost it at him playing the Virtual Boy and elbowing all the shit off his desk.

"These games are great!"

I want to hate Reggie.

But I can't hate a man who doesn't take himself seriously.

Even had the 80s training montage.

God bless you Reggie.

I laughed out loud at the the Power Pad one. I remember doing that for Track n Field...alot.

 

[Real Hero]

I remember when Nintendo had press conferences and actually tried to compete. Treehouse is a nice thing, but other than that Nintendo at E3 is not what it once was.

Are you kidding? The last E3 video was a million miles away from their horrific press conferences

 

[BumblebeeCody]

Too amazing!

you're no fun

 

[Exile20]

Yes because companies can't have fun during E3. Nope none.

 

[Pokemaniac]

In case anyone can figure it out, here's the best shots I could get of the games:

SNES game:

N64 game:

We can probably narrow it down to Nintendo-published games, right?

The SNES one looks kinda like Star Fox.

Why? I don't get it. Seriously, explain to me why is it hard to imagine Nintendo announcing big games at E3.

What is a huge game, anyways? Would a new DK be a huge game? F-Zero? Punch Out? A new IP? In fact, did Splatoon count as a big game at the previous E3?

Or are huge games only Zelda/Smash/Mario/Mario Kart/Metroid?

 

[HUELEN10]

I think you're right!

 

[AdanVC]

Yup just this thread I made a bit ago will make you feel relieved that Nintendo doesn't do live Press Conferences anymore. This new approach from Nintendo with the Digital Event is 100000 better.

 

[Xiao Hu]

I just hope the hype is worth it. Last year only Zelda and the Treehouse folks were impressing me. The rest of the show was kinda lame. So Metroid or bust, Nintendo!

SNES is castlevania

Spoiler

Hideo kojima moving to nintendo confirmed.

Trying to ID the N64 one...

Wipeout 64 maybe?

 

[Sacul64GC]

On thing I want to point out is that they are not allowed to put rated M games in demo stations like this.

 

[digita1alchemy]

The SNES game looks like Star Fox

I'm not sure it's Star Fox, the logo doesn't quite match up and I can't see the Super FX logo at all:

 

[marc^o^]

"Stop having fun guys."

Nope. Neogaf. Believe.

 

[Gsnap]

Man, people are trying really hard to make something negative out of this.

It's a goofy video from a goofy company.

It's E3, people! Video game Christmas! Take some time out of your day to be happy that certain companies are trying to have fun with it.

 

[digita1alchemy]

SNES is castlevania

I think this is it! The Konami logo matches up and everything. So now...does it mean anything?

Spoiler

Probably not lol.

 

[Hikami]

Just got home and watched it. Was hoping for another funny video like this, loved it.
Don't really care for the Championship thing personally but I'm glad they're doing another digital event.

 

[Sacul64GC]

It looks like the logo for the SNES game has a yellow downward triangle on it.

Don't care about the championship? You're breaking me heart!

 

[Zimmy64]

Oh

Amazing.

 

[Red Devil]

"There is no Zelda or Metroid at E3, clearly Nintendo has nothing to announce". The obsession people have for these two (great) series gets a bit annoying at times.

And even then that there will be no Metroid at E3 is based on nothing really.

 

[GDGF]

Holy fuck yes!

And that video punched me right in the nostalgia button

 

[Yarbskoo]

That video was dumb.

More, please.

 

[ktroopa]

nice video, just what i was expecting. more zany fun from Nintendo. but they still need to deliver some AAA bombs for E3.

 

[Dr. Buni]

And even then that there will be no Metroid at E3 is based on nothing really.

There will be Metroid Prime 4, 5, 6 and a new traditional Metroid announced. So people will shut up about the series being dead.

 

[BGBW]

 

[phanphare]

really just pumped for the Treehouse making it's glorious return

work gets really dead during the summer for me so I can have it on all day like last year and just pretend I'm at E3

 

[mdubs]

hahaha yes!

 

[Nickle]

guys I think I saw nintendo refrences in the video I think theyre announcing a new game

 

[KingSnake]

Guys, it's obvious that anyone who thinks a goofy video means something bad hasn't seen last year's Digital Event with the SSB intro, so most likely it's here just to troll , so don't feed them.

I'm happy that they kept the format, I really enjoyed last E3. I'm really curious what games will be in the World Championship and if indeed it will be World or just US.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Just saw the video, fraking loved it, all that 80's- beggining of the 90's vibe. Dat the wizard.

Seems we are going to have another great E3 from nintendo like last year.

 

[MandrakeUK]

Acknowledging the Virtual Boy ehhh?

Gamecube and Virtual Boy love.

That was awesome lol

 

[HUELEN10]

I wonder if they are still going with Robot Chicken this year.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

I think an ambitious game that isn't Mario or a 2-D platformer would be considered a big game. I can't imagine Nintendo having any big games because I feel that any game they could announce would just be on the level of Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World. As good as those games might be, I don't think most people would put that on the same level as the top franchises from other companies. Miyamoto's Projects are also pretty lame attempts at justifying the GamePad from what I've seen. I doubt anything coming from him would be considered big, either. But hey, I'm ready to be proven wrong, so let's see if that will happen.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

And even then that there will be no Metroid at E3 is based on nothing really.

If Retro is making it, I don't think we'll be seeing anything. It hasn't even been 15 months since Tropical Freeze was released.

 

[Hatchtag]

Mario Maker needs to be in Championships, with Kaizo levels.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Remember when Sony made that joking "How to lend a game on PS4" video two years ago?

The PS4 died forever after that.

 

[geordiemp]

People get really salty at the slightest possibility of Nintendo having the best E3 again.

For most people who don't own Nintendo consoles, they did not even Know Nintendo had an E3 never mind if you thought it was the best.

Think about that.

Nintendo need to get back to mainstream consumers, not just preaching to their own fanbase for the good of the industry..

 

[TheSlySoul]

Taking a guess...
SNES: Star Fox
N64: Pokémon Stadium 2 (I think it is a gold cart)

 

[Sendou]

Lol what exactly do you think E3 means to "mainstream consumers"? Well let me help you: absolutely nothing.

 

[Neff]

That SNES cart is definitely Castlevania.

Nintendo/Konami co-produced, PlatinumGames created Wii U Castlevania confirmed.

No idea what this is, but it's definitely not Star Fox 64.

 

[Escalario]

Nintendo need to get back to mainstream consumers, not just preaching to their own fanbase for the good of the industry..

The mainstream Nintendo is the one that gave us the horrible E3 conferences at 2008 and 2012. So no, thank you very much.

But hey, I'm ready to be proven wrong, so let's see if that will happen.

Why can't 2D platformers be considered big games? Then if there is a new DK and it is 3D, can it be considered a big game? You are right, most people wouldn't put a Yoshi game on the same level as the top franchises of the company, but at the same time, two of the top franchises are 2D platformers franchises, at least partially (Mario and Donkey Kong).

You didn't answer why you think Nintendo isn't going to announce a big game this year, though. Or if Splatoon counted as a big announcement.
