Thats why Nintendo was more shitty. They made a very uninteresting piece of hardware AND are making some boring pieces of software. Hell, Microsoft's Smart Glass looks absolutely useless & Sony is still making HD Wii games. I get what your saying, I guess I misspoke.

um, no.

I havent seen any of the stream, but I heard ZombiU and Lego City looked like it had potential?

Hmm, I remember a time when Nintendo were innovators and pioneers of consoles and games. I'm guessing Miyamoto isn't very active these days?

Miyamoto opened the show as usual and introduced Pikmin 3, which looks amazing too.

ZombiU is just..............wow. Can't wait to try it. Lego City did look very cool too. My son will be all over that for sure lol. New Super Mario Bros U. Oh man. lol <3

 

[Flagg]

Tim Static, that's nice he is still involved. I do wonder if Mario has run his course...Link and Samus Aran always seem popular though. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some sort of new Crystal Chronicles game for the WiU. I nearly ended up buying a GameCube simply for the Crystal Chronicles series.

My criticism is that they just keep rehashing old ideas. Nintendo put out so many cool, revolutionary games in the 90's, but for some reason they're still stuck there, just with updated hardware. Yeah, you could say the same for Microsoft+Sony exclusives like Halo and God of War, but they still put up new, unique, and memorable titles on their system every year. Plus, I just don't see how the occasional mature game like ZombiU can draw mass appeal for mature gamers when games like that are so few and far between.

Well if rehashing old games is what is leading to Nintendos supposed downfall, then it's a wonder how SF IV or MK 9, which are essentially 3d versions of their 2d 90's counter parts, ever managed.

At the end of the day, the Wii still sold more units than the 360 and PS3 combined. Elitists tend to always overlook that little fact.

I would go bananas if a remake of Cybernator was announced. I've already seen several status posts asking for a new Metroid game. I dont believe the games of today are anywhere near as memorable of the games of yesterday, hence why remakes are often successful/demanded. If it aint broke, dont fix it. Etc.

Makes sense but the only difference is sf4 and mk9 arent the staple franchises of the current gen systems (ps3 and 360). Games like mario and donkey kong seem to be the only thing holding nintendo together.

Is it elitist of me to point out that they lost $460 million this year?

The Wii sold a lot because of its uniqueness. The problem is no one buys their games.

And what does that tell you about Nintendo design. That those two characters, that are even older than the Street Fighter series are still going strong. Sony and Microsoft, do they even have mascots, and I mean ones that were made over 10 years ago that are still relevant now. Capcom games that feature Ryu or Mega Man are always going to be popular. Same with Sega and Sonic. Who the Hell cares about Crash Bandicoot or Toro and Kuro. Kratos will never be as big as someone like Ryu or Link.

I disagree completely. The average gamer right now grew up with 90's video game characters. This could certainly change 10 years from now.

Jeeze, their first loss in what, 30 years??

But that is due more to Apple, than Sony or Microsoft.

 

[SunnyD]

SunnyD, I also want Relic to do a new Dawn of War game, but I heard grave news that DOW3 and COH2 that were being billed for 2014 might be canned now, due to THQ having financial problems.

This makes me cry

the whole entire thing was shit

sour about e3 are you?

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

I was really really REALLY hoping for a Left 4 Dead 3 announcement. But alas....don't think that's going to happen at this E3.

Really? You're really gonna hope for another valve game that isn't Half life 2 Episode 3?

Heh....I never did finish HalfLife 2. So yeah, I'm afraid so....

Thats why Nintendo was more impressive. They made a very interesting piece of hardware AND are making some great pieces of software. Hell, Microsoft's Smart Glass looks absolutely amazing & Sony is still making HD Wii games. I get what your saying, I guess I misspoke.

The people who make the hardware and the people who make the games are all different teams under one name. For sony, the people who make the hardware and the people who make the games are different teams with different names, owned by one company. Same shit to me.

 

[PPJ]

both nintendo fanboys AND haters are annoying

 

[Peckapowa]

the matter of fact is that consoles all around have stopped producing good games or anything interesting to me. I'm a hardcore gamer who likes challenging and unique gameplay, unique visuals and a creative storyline if need be, the shooters that come out these days are nothing in comparison to the my pc favorites of the past, they are embarassing and far to catered to the casual gamer... games liek mario galaxy blow me away but those are few and far between, right now its pretty much fighting games, valve and blizzard that i trust my money with, everything else just bores me. Can't wait for counter-strike global offensive or a new half-life sequel, but tbh donkey kong for the snes, mario 64 and fucking mario kart have provided me with more entertainment then any new=age titled released outside of my own hardcore competitive games which are mk and counter-strike. Mass Effect makes me wanna cut my dick off, not that the story isnt great, its just the gameplay is so bland. Super meat boy was a good game though.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Watched Ubisoft first since I came for AC, but GOD DAMN WATCH DOGS IS THE BEST LOOKING VIDEO GAME I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE

 

[Eddy Wang]

Holy Shit, Splinter Cell black list looks fucking awesome.
I remember when i saw Tom Brady clan name (EMP) on MK tournaments, i used to think he is representing 3rd Echelon lol
