Yesterday Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft and Sony went bold with their E3 2012 reveals, and it’s been a massive show thus far. Today, at 12:00pm eastern, 9:00am pacific and 5:00pm in Britain, Nintendo gets its chance to impress us. Watch it live on Games Thirst. We’ll also have all the latest breaking news elsewhere on the site.
What do you expect to see from Nintendo?
I expect WiiU price ($350), release, and quite a few 1st party titles. This is what everyone has been waiting for this E3. Sony and MS went lighter this year due to next gen stuff coming next yr. But lets not get too upset gamers, TGS is another place that new games get announced. So those disappointed with MS and Sony should relax and chill till TGS! But hands down…Nintendo “wins” E3 this year. Even though gamers win E3 every year.
bloody hell, and i thought $onys press conference was a disappointment!
first off why was it so short?
ninty had by FAR the most stuff to talk about, both specs for the wiiU and OS relations, than they had the games, than they had their portable games.
they had way more to talk about than what $ony and M$ did, so they had the least time.
secondly why did they spend half a hour talking about the same things that were spoken about at their pre conference show?
whats the point of recording a show to show people certain features to record a show to show people the same features?
3rd problem gotta love it how reggie says ok we dont have much time today so were just going to talk about the games!
than wastes the next 20 minutes talking about the MIIverse, something thats not a game, and something that was already shown at their pre show!
all ninty showed were third party games everyone knows about, and they did not even show off any gameplay of many of them!
and the first party titles, well, we got Luigi mansion, super mario brothers U, wii fit U and that crappy nintendo land!
thats it!
what happened to zelda?
metroid?
donkey kong?
or other third party exclusives like cursed mountain, maddworld, or red steel?
gotta love it how ninty says yea we screwed up with the 3DS it was too expensive, and there were too few first party franchises available for it.
we promise to do better next time!
than they go and announce the launch lineup for the wiiU and ok its got mario, but besides that its no better than their 3DS lineup!
i hope they announce a few last minute titles at TGS, but i seriously doubt it, its a little late to announce a new game especially for it to release only 2 months later.
i was really expecting ninty to come out of the gate running, especially now that M$ has the smart glass and $ony has the vita, they really cant run on the oh were unique because were the only ones with a screen controller.
there not any more, so they cant play the unique card, they need to come out of the gate with heaps of titles!
and sadly they dident!
that also highlights another problem with the wiiU.
they had SO many third party exclusives early in the wiis life, where did they all go!?
like the games i mentioned above.
wheres maddworld, cursed mountain, red steel, no more heroes?
one of nintys real strengths with the wii was it had so many games exclusive to their system!
whether it was from ninty themselves or if it was from a third party.
now its got mainly only third party ports, and most of them releasing around year after their release!
in short they had the same problem that $ony did this year.
what you would expect to be there was not there, and what was there should not of been there!
