JUST
Nintendo’s approach to the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show this year is … different.
The publisher revealed that it will have only one playable game at E3 2016, and that is the Wii U version of The Legend of Zelda. Nintendo says that it wants to provide attendees “complete immersion” with Zelda, and that’s why it will have nothing else for the Wii U or the 3DS on the show floor. But this is a bit strange considering that Nintendo is also planning to launch the followup to the Wii U, the NX project, in March. And it’s even crazier that Nintendo announced that it is delaying Zelda because it is bringing a version to the NX.
Here’s the full statement from Nintendo:
>“Nintendo changes its approach to the [E3] show every year. This June, Nintendo will focus its attention on the upcoming game in The Legend of Zelda series. The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show in order to provide attendees a complete immersion. Additional information about Nintendo’s E3 plans will be announced in the future.”
While Zelda is a huge release for Nintendo, this feels like a great way to taint its big reveal. While I’m looking forward to finally trying it out at E3, I’m going to spend most of my time trying to track down someone from Nintendo to ask about the NX version. Presumably, that version should look better, and it may even work with this mysterious new system’s special features. That’s the Zelda I think most people want to know about.
I’m sure we can expect to learn all about the NX and Zelda for the NX before the end of this year, but that doesn’t make Nintendo’s E3 strategy any easier to understand.

FUCK
2016 will be the last E3
It's not just Nintendo that's abandoning the show but everyone
I really want to see how NoA damage controls this in interviews
I can just feel how pissed they are at NoJ for putting them into this mess
>>336076914
It would be so Cool if it was a vr headset, that would make me happy
The fact that it's being released for the NX as the "superior" port had people that recently purchased Wii U's expecting an exclusive Zelda feeling high and dry. Me personally, I'm not worried because this has happened 10 years ago with the exact same franchise. Twilight Princess was originally being developed for the Gamecube and it was pushed over to the Wii. Which version you preferred was a matter of, well, preference. One wasn't notably "better" than the other. You can debate if Nintendo makes poor games by design, but no one can say they make outright broken games/ports and not be lying. Knowing Nintendo's intense level of polish, I think it's not a stretch to say the Wii U version will be just fine.
As for them not showing up at E3, the first time they pulled this was a bit jarring, but who knows, they might host more personal streams to showcase games in place of a large expo presence. Their own personal streaming events cost them a lot less and they won't have to worry about competing against objectively larger competitors like Microsoft, EA, and Bethesda. And I don't know, they seem pretty effective.
As for Zelda, damn I'm hype. I know I was hype for StarFox and was really let down, but I feel like Zelda is going to be stellar after Link Between Worlds being so amazing. And a typical open world styled Zelda? Yes please. Elder Scrolls, eat your heart out.
>Not even the NX version
This is actually very suggestive.
Alongside the release date, this is probably the best indication that the NX is, in fact, secretly a handheld that can run console quality ports.
>implying we didn't see this coming and nintendo does fuck all for e3 since the last gen
they save it all for directs you fucking retards
>>336077264
Where is this meme coming from?
>>“Nintendo changes its approach to the [E3] show every year. This June, Nintendo will focus its attention on the upcoming game in The Legend of Zelda series. The Wii U version of the game will be playable for the first time on the E3 show floor, and it will be the only playable game Nintendo presents at the show in order to provide attendees a complete immersion. Additional information about Nintendo’s E3 plans will be announced in the future.”
Is it only nintendrones that can't see this as blatant bullshit for "we got nothing?"
>>336077607
Activision and Disney Interactive are also pulling out of E3 this year, so that's what's leading people to believe E3 is lessening in terms of importance
And nintendrones will defend this
just fucking wait for the replies OP
NX is a handheld, and the NX version is going to be the inferior version. Why would they show it over the Wii U version?
>>336077643
If there's one thing i'm sure, is that you are a buttfrustrated shitposter
>>336077607
EA, Blizzard-Activision, and Disney have already pulled out, EA is actually hosting a competing event, Nintendo has been reducing their E3 presence for 3 years now by not having conferences opting instead for directs, and the LACC, where E3 is held, needs to be booked years in advanced. It is not booked for 2017.
The industry has historically hated E3, they've just been afraid to pull the plug because they think their competitors will then upstage them. Now everyone is collectively pulling out. I hope you enjoy this E3 because this is it. It's over.
>>336077682
>>336077878
Except that's not what happened at all. Activision won't have its own booths, so they will showcase games through others like Microsoft or Sony. Same for Disney and Wargaming.
>NINTENDO IS NOT DOOMED
>>336077759
The majority Nintendrones didn't defend their E3 2015 showing.
>>336076803
This is going to sound dumb as fuck but can they at least show NX games while not revealing the console itself?Who am I kidding; Shokio was right
>>336077914
Whatever helps you sleep at night. It's gonna be funny seeing the backtracking
>>336076803
Sounds about right.
If they're going to announce anything juicier, it'll be in their own in-house Directs. No use wasting E3 booth-space and airtime on things like Amiibo figurines.
I don't see what's necessarily wrong with that.
Fuck, have they really gotten this bad? They're shoving everything they have on the NX and it's obviously being pushed to 2017 so what the fuck am I buying on my WiiU or 3DS?
>>336078000
These are objective facts though. All the developers will still be at E3. They just won't have booths. Nintendo is the only developer that has stopped attending entirely. The reason they're not making booths is because these types of press events aren't working like they used to. E3 will most certainly downsize and become more digital oriented, but it's not going away in the slightest. Developers still place a lot of importance in organizing the press for major releases.
>>336077914
>except that's not what happened at all
>it's exactly what happened
>disney and activision have allowed some of their 3rd party multiplats to be shown like they do every year so that MS and Sony have anything to show off at all
It's dead, Jim
>>336078169
>They are losing a lot of shit, but theyll continue, for sure
>E3 is important guys, we swear
>Please buy our overpriced space :(
>>336077862
>3D Zelda catered to a shitty handheld
my god the butthurt and shitposting will be tremendous
>nintendo will die in your life time
>>336078095
>so what the fuck am I buying on my WiiU or 3DS?
The 3DS is still getting games though, and has been for years.
There's no reason for a 3DS owner to feel ripped off
>>336078243
Except it's not exactly what happened. No booth != not being at E3. It means not having a booth. Stop pretending to be retarded.
>>336078319
They haven't lost anything. All the developers will still be there. They're consolidating because having a massive space with your own individual demos is a waste no matter how you spin it. Why spend all that money making a cod booth by yourself when you can split the cost with someone else?
>>336077321
Honestly, after looking over what little information we know about it, I think the NX will actually be a VR system.
Of course, part of that is probably fueled by the fact that I want Nintendo to do for VR what they did for 3D gaming. And VR Metroid/Zelda would be fucking glorious.
>>336078169
E3 has been on life support since 2006
Of course you can always argue that something that restructures and changes still exists in some format, but the E3 we know now will be gone, and the fact that Nintendo is not treating E3 seriously is not indicative of anything wrong with Nintendo, but rather the joke state of E3 as a dead tradeshow
>wiiu not even getting a mario or zelda game
what the fuck happened?
NX LAUNCH TITLES CONFIRMED FOR SHITTY PARTY GAMES, PORTS, AND ZELDA.
>>336076803
One game PLAYABLE as in "a demo on the show floor". There'll be other games announced just like any other year.
What's wrong with this?
>>336078497
And you're also just casually ignoring the fact that EA, the third biggest video game publisher in the world, is having a competing show, open to the public, at the same time.
No one gives a fuck about Disney. This is about EA and Nintendo basically saying Fuck you. The rest will follow suit.
Then again who actually wants to play Color Trash?
>>336077414
I don't think Nintendo is going to put out a new Handheld, possibly ever again. I think the shift to mobile apps like Miitomo and Pokemon Go suggests that they're accepting the fact that mobile gaming as it used to be is essentially a dead end and focusing their efforts on something new. The fact that they've shifted their handheld personnel over to NX development is probably because they want their best minds working on the NX
I see people bitching about an inferior version of Zelda for Wii U. You should be cautious that the game will be held back graphically BECAUSE of the WiiU.
Can't wait til these shitposters get BTFO

>>336078564
>E3 has been on life support since 2006
>damage control
i can see e3 being less stellar on off years but when there's new console unveiling, e3 makes all the fucking difference. e3 was the only reason people bought ps4 over xbone by the droves day fucking 1 don't even try to pretend otherwise. sony absolutely killed it at the show and word of mouth spread even though there was almost no difference between the two at the time
>>336077993
I don't know how someone would defend that. I think the only thing I saw was "Nintendo has more games, they just don't want to show them now!" and then it turned out that they really didn't have more games.
>>336078831
>Nintendo
>providing any semblance of competition to either Sony or MS
The industry would be exactly the same if Nintendo ceased to exist. Sony and (to a much lesser extent) Microsoft are all publishers and developers care about.
>>336078795
If Twilight Princess is any indication, the WiiU version will probably end up being the 'definitive' version.
>>336078564
Now you're just moving the goalposts because you realized that massive press events that create hype help sell new releases. E3 isn't going anywhere. Nintendo directs have been a massive failure because they only reach existing fans. Nintendo has effectively given up on reaching new audiences and instead has focused on its dying fanbase since Iwata implemented his retarded blue ocean. Now they're stranded in the middle of nowhere and nobody cares enough to bring them back.
>>336078676
I'm not casually ignoring it, I'm ignoring it because there's nothing to discuss. Clearly the issue isn't cost, because EA is using the Nokia theater which is right next to the fucking convention center. Nothing else has changed, which begs the question as to why this is the case. Furthermore, the location proves they are still dependent upon the physical traffic of E3.
>>336078897
E3 had *nothing* to do with it. It was what was announced at E3, the fact that the PS4 was better than the Xbone in nearly every conceivable way, from specifications to less anti-consumer bullshit.
Sony has been holding their own summits and events and shit, not sure about MS because I honestly don't follow them, but EA has their own show going this year that is in direct competition with E3. I'd say it's just a matter of time but that would make it sound like this could drag on for years. It's literally over after this show. 2016 is the last one. They don't even have the fucking convention center booked for next year.
>>336077398
>I feel like Zelda is going to be stellar after Link Between Worlds being so amazing. And a typical open world styled Zelda? Yes please. Elder Scrolls, eat your heart out.

Are you fucking serious? ONE fucking game/series? ONE? Saving myself the time of not tuning in.
>>336079029
Can't believe we even have fucking E3 shills on this board.
Your tradeshow is dead in the water. Can't wait to piss on your grave.
>>336079139
E3 had everything to do with the spread of information. That's the whole fucking point of E3, you imbecile. EA isn't competing with E3, they're dependent upon it. Otherwise they wouldn't be literally next door.
Thank god this will be the last or second last E3 Nintendo goes to.
>>336077878
It's expensive as fuck to host a presentation and booth. There is still a ground game going on regardless. It's a trade show after all, where business dealings do happen between vendors and companies.

Can't believe we have trolls who hate normie games so much that they want E3 to die. I hate normie games too and rarely pay attention to E3, but you're a fucking retard for thinking that organized industry events will never happen again.
Case in point, look at TGS. It's the same fucking thing. TGS downsized in 2011, yet here it is, same as always.

What were you expecting? They announce the release window for the NX, which is still currently unnamed, and suddenly they're just gonna throw it out there? Nah man.
Besides, this will give a good chance to see how well it runs on the Wii U.

Kids don't buy them because there's nothing to do with them. That's where Nintendo fucked up. They should have launched with a big, dedicated game, but they've been out for nearly two years now and we still don't have one.
Didn't they literally do the same thing last year? Why is anyone expecting anything from them at this PR circle jerk show?
Does anyone actually trust nintendo these days? I mean sony is a lying piece of shit as well, but at least third parties make games for them.

>>336080417
There's nothing disheartening about a company that spits in the face of progress time and time again, and attempts to reinvent the wheel every single time, on top of not playing ball with basics of feature development over the course of time.
Nintendo at one point DID save the video game industry from it's historical crash. But for whatever reason, every last bit of that gesture went straight to their head and they still fundamentally believe that they're at the top of the food chain--when in fact they're being eclipsed by even mobile titles.
It took damn near the death of one of their longest running CEOs in the information age, for the company to get it's head out of its ass and attempt to change directions before they implode. It would be unfortunate at most, but nowhere near sad because they had been warned time and time again that they're walking down a dangerous path; and time and time again, they ignored it to be their own special thing.
Nintendo wants to be Apple of the video game industry. Makes its own hardware, software, and thereby retains all it's profit. The key difference between Apple and Nintendo today, is that Apple still focuses on the future and more importantly, focuses on consumer demand--while noting the competition and adopting good features when applicable and where appropriate to maximize profits.
Nintendo on the other hand, focuses towards unique experiences while ignoring the greater consumer demand--and generally tends to ignore the competition, has uniformly failed to adopt good features for the better part of it's modern history, and as a consequence is now suffering from it's grand standing hubris.
The real tragedy would be the raping of the IPs that Nintendo owns after it's fall, not that Nintendo isn't doing a spectacular job in the raping department as it is currently.

I don't think nintendo will ever go under but they probably won't recover anytime soon.
They have a group of very dedicated, diehard fans that will support anything they put out. As this group continues to shrink their output will continue to become less intensive
>>336081131
Fuck no. It's terrible that they tried to throw Atlus under the bus by wording their press release to make it sound like Atlus censored it.
>>336080778
I think it's mostly manchildren buying them.
I remember Nintendo released a statement that they were upset people were treating Amiibos as collector's items instead of using them for their intended purposes.
>quote from Nintendo President Kimishima from Time
>“A challenge that we’re facing right now is, our earliest goal for the Amiibo was to have these connected to software and have them enhance the play experience for the consumer, and for other consumers to say ‘I see my friend using this Amiibo with that software and it looks great,’ and again increase that attractiveness of that combination. What we’re seeing instead is that the Amiibo are being picked up more as a collection item at this point, rather than, say, as an interactive item with software. And so we haven’t really established them as an enhancement for all of our software at this point.”

Anon, E3 is fine. Last year's E3 was one of the biggest ever:
>"B-b-b-b-but Activision and EA dropped out...!"
Yes, because most of their high profile games have deals with the likes of Sony, so there's no point in showing them off during their own presentation.
>>336081420
>>nintendo has been pioneering an e3 alternative for years now
you mean has to resort to the equivalent of a twitch streamer for viewers and income? nintendo is fucking pathetic and a coward for backing out like they have and it clearly shows. meanwhile sony sells ps4 by the millions
>>336081696
Iwata called them games because he was a game developer.
Kimishima is a businessman.
>Nintendo will have only one playable game at E3 2016: Zelda for Wii U (not even the NX version)
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT why even bother wasting time and energy for that? It must be so much easier to hold a big Zelda event at their NY store for the demo but showing up to E3 at all this year is just sad. Especially with the imminent PS4K asspounding
>>336082068

There are a lot of decisions I disagree with Nintendo doing but phasing out their E3 dependence is not one of them. They have been really smart about it and E3 could announce that 2016 show is cancelled tomorrow and it would not affect Nintendo at all. Meanwhile it would probably trip up Sony and MS quite a bit.

I still find that really strange. Every other country can buy another country's company, except for Japan. What about a foreign company's Japanese division? Or a company founded by members of a foreign company?
This is probably why Japan's economy has been tanking since the 90's. There's little to no fresh money coming it, it's all recycled from within.
>>336083420
Nah, it's goign badly because Sony is a piece of shit.
No jokes, back in the 90's and early 2000's Sony was a workhorse with ridiculous power, now it' s a shit company teethering on the edge, propped up by fucking BANKING
>>336081484
>intended purposes
well those intended purposes are shit since its only cosmetic, if there is any
i mean if you own something like ROB, where the hell are you gonna use it?
and if they actually unlock meaningful shit, then it only feels like locked on disc stuff
basically amiibos functions are really bad and if people were to buy them based on that only, then the amount of sales would be abysmal
also i dont even understand their bitching, if a bunch of dumbasses were to buy your shit and dont use it like you intended, why would you call them out? like just roll in all that money
>>336081557
Is there a source for this bullshit? or is it another one of those "facts" that gets recycled on /v/ ad nauseum to the point where everyone believes it's true, like "nintendo could hemorrhage money for 50 years and still be in business"

That's the point. Nobody gives a flying fuck how it runs on the WiiU. Even if it's a port people want to see how it runs on the new system. Slightly better graphics? Better framerate. The WiiU has been dead and most gamers own a PS or Xbone. If people are gonna buy a nintendo product, Zelda NX better be goddamn amazing, and they want to know, now.
>>336083627
Not to mention how a large portion of Japan's game developers depend on Sony to exist. Suppose Sony exits out of the console market. Where will these developers go? No one buys third party games on Nintendo consoles, no one owns an Xbox in Japan, Windows is irrelevant. They will all grind to a halt because they ran out options. At best, all they can do is port their games over and sing kumbaya until they close shop.

Nintendo died long ago. What we are about to witeness is the death of neo-Nintendo, wich I am okay with it.
>>336083687
I always found that weird.
The problem with Nintendo is not that it's bleeding money. The 3DS and Amiibo lines still pad their bottom line, and as long as Nintendo profits, it stays in business.
What their problem is instead is that it's not profiting enough, not nearly as much as they want to. There's a fine distinction there.

>>336084089
Technically all a company has to do is break even to remain in business
A publicly traded company will lose value continually breaking even though, and since much of Nintendo's assets are in privately owned stock, when Nintendo loses value, Nintendo also loses bank
Much of Nintendo's current stock value is still trailing from the DS and Wii era, which means they will continue to devalue the longer they do not return to that level of profit
>>336076803
Guys, what if the NX isn't the successor to the Wii U? What if it's the successor to the 3DS?
>>336084000
Just because the game's not exclusive doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The XBOX One is practically a nonentity in Japan. As for PCs, when Japanese gamers think PCs, they think of doujin games, visual novels, MMOs, and ASSFAGGOTs.
>>336084292
The point is, a lot of Japanese games are on PS4, but none of them are on the Wii U. Hell, the Xbox has more Japanese games than the Wii U.
I think it's time nintendo went third party. They know how to make games, not consoles.

Yeah, you got a VERY shitty memory it seems.

It's been consistently 6ish years between console Zeldas, at least since OOT&MM mixed things up. But MM really different in that it reused all the assets

It's multiplat so that seems unlikely, unless the NX's gimmick is basically the Wii U all over again

>>336086194
maybe not as good but they're still up there today. the impact they've had on gaming is irrefutable; without nintendo gaming wouldnt have gotten to where it is now as quickly.
>>336086221
I have the feeling that NX is a streaming platform, subscription based. That's why they can't show the box at e3. There's no box.
>>336086630
i think it'll be based off of the wii U's streaming, rather than forcing the console to be connected, the console connects to something else to boost power or some jazz like that. Constant wifi is a no go.
>>336086630
Wrong. That would be suicide.
Instead it will be a digital only box. This is why My Nintendo only gives your rewards for digital purchases.
>>336086630
That's terrifying, Anon.Hold me
>>336086219
but there's no reason to believe it's even good at all. skyward sword was bad and nobody expects anything coming to deviate from that formula. if anything, it's bad because of how hesitant they are to even let people see or play it
>>336078372
You don't want to live forever, anon.
>>336086630
>There's no box.
I don't know. Reggie specifically called it a home console.
>>336086831
they wanna go back to their roots i feel. a big, grand showcase with good prep before-hand. hopefully it wont have the fucking NINTENDO 3DS CIRCLE GRIPS THAT THEY LEGIT THOUGHT WERE OK
>>336086980
I doubt anyone at NOA even knows what it is yet.
>>336086980
He also said Zelda was coming in 2015 anon.
>>336076803
It better be a fucking zelda mmo or some shit.
>>336086991
for those confused,
>>336086831
I'm slowly beginning to share this view, as well. I'm basically expecting open world Twilight Princess -- a very safe Zelda.
>>336087112
They have to, there's no doubt that they've already started work on localizing some of the games for the NX.
>>336087209
Remember back in E3 2012 when Reggie announced the Wii U would be able to support two gamepads? I wonder what types of games would have supported that functionality.
>>336087112
Reggie and the entire product testing team most likely now.
How is the president of your 2nd most important corporate branch not gonna know the future of your company?
I hope at E3, Nintendo reveals tons of new stuff since they have been quiet after SF Zero's release.
>>336087320
It still has the functionality for it built into the system; and to realize that Sonic Boom sucked so bad was because of gamepad optimization problems (or so their excuse is) makes me wonder just how much data was being streamed
>>336086831
>it's bad because of how hesitant they are to even let people see or play it
Dedicating their entire E3 showing to it is pretty ballsy
I think they were hesitant just because they knew for the longest time it was there only big hitter and they didn't want to blow their load too early
>>336087370
There is nothing left to reveal except NX games
Question is whether or not they will be revealing NX in their direct or not. They might only be showing Zelda at E3, but that doesn't mean they won't have the unveil happen in their direct
>>336087370
>I HOPE WE GET MORE INFO ON THE NEW METROID, it looks GREAT
>>336087431
How much processing power did the streaming end up taking?
Don't get me wrong, I actually like the streaming and think it's fucking magic, but imagine what games we could've had without the 2nd screen.
>>336077682
>Disney Interactive
So no KH3 info then?
>>336087347
The way I see it, Reggie is just a figurehead. Iwata was CEO of NOA until he died. Not sure what "president" even means in this context
> Bringing one game to E3
> Not showing NX at E3 when the press is assembled.
> NX release now March 2017, with the reveal coming sometime before the end of the year.
So Nintendo thought it was a fine idea to reveal their new console in a Direct sometime in November/December that's only going to reach their normal viewers? Jesus christ the console revisions for the Xbone and PS4 will likely be out this holiday season. They're just gonna let that reveal stew for 3 months through the holiday season when everyone is buying a different console? Releasing in Spring is pants-on-head retarded, no holidays, and summer game drought on the way, especially since they made the same mistake with the 3DS and had to drop the price because of how rough the launch was.
>>336087558
Only thing i can find is a gamefaqs thread from 2 years ago. Doesnt say much, if any anon can find it that would fucking rock.
>It's been 10 months since Iwata's death
>We've only had two Nintendo Directs in that time
>>336087661
Part of me thinks you're right, and part of me doesn't.
I mean, Reggie isn't stupid. The recent localization decisions don't make any sense and if anything it looks to me like someone up in NCL is reading the market wrong.
Or Reggie and his team could just be fucking idiots.
>>336087553
>Nintendo has faith in Federation Force to revitalize 3DS sales
JUST
>>336087690
i think they intend to show off what they got of the console so far, and do an update of everything in the latter part of the year.
>>336087558
The streaming itself is pretty insignificant. DKCTF disabled the second screen entirely but probably just to stabilize framerate
It's when a completely separate scene is being rendered on the screen, that's when it takes a lot of processing power because the GPU is basically working twice as hard
What did they mean by this?
>>336087846
Sorry, forgot to clarify since it wasn't in the OP, but Nintendo also said they wouldn't be showing the NX at E3 this year either.
>>336087836
>OK BOYS WE NEED A NEW GAME

They said Directs will be "redesigned". This company died with Iwata. They are clueless. I remember reading that Kimishima doessn't know what NX means, because Iwata never told him.
>>336087927
Doesn't the CPU have to encode the stream in realtime anyways?
Unless they have some SPU doing that.
Either way, the stream would probably eat into some memory bandwidth.

Sony and Microsoft would never have anything to do with the industry if not for Nintendo.
Nintendo fucked Sony over a supposed add on to the Super Nintendo to play CDs. Sony decided to continue developing it and eventually release it as the Sony Playstation.
Microsoft only entered the industry after noticing the success of the PS2
>>336087967
Makes me wish we would have just gotten a good sequel to Hunters, yeah the first game was shitty but Multiplayer was fun as fuck
>>336088339
>Nintendo fucked Sony over a supposed add on to the Super Nintendo to play CDs.
Nintendo knew CD add-ons were the kiss of death to a console after looking at the Genesis and Jaguar, and I'm pretty sure the agreement they had with Sony was a pretty shitty one just like their deal with Phillips was that gave Phillips the rights to their characters.

I fail to see why everyone is so upset about this. It's the only playable game, not the only game they'll announce/show off. And since 99.9% of us have never been to an E3, why the fuck does it matter what's playable? It's all the same to us.
We really need someone to hit Reggie with the hard hitting questions.
>>336085398
Oh yeah? Well Halo invented FPS. Fuck you
>>336088506
They got mad at Sony because they read the contract after signing and realized that making a console with Sony would allow Sony to have access to the IPs and allow them to be used as they see fit, which led to stabbing them in the back by switching to Phillips
Which is fucking hilariously ironic because Philips basically got the same amount of access to the IPs but fucking dropped out when they realized the CD-I was a fucking failure
>>336086630
I assume there will still be a physical box to play/stream the games on.
But you can play the games on a mobile phone too, since most of the processing is in the cloud
>>336088597
>What's wrong with not releasing any games in 2016?
Why is everyone acting like the qualifying word "playable" is not there? Just because it's the only playable game doesn't mean there won't be other announcements and trailers

>>336088746
>missing the point
>>336088926
It's my favorite moment in gaming history, if Nintendo just took a few hours to read over the contract with Lawyers and then discuss a rewrite before signing with Sony, they could have ended up making a very successful console together, which would lead to Sony then dropping out after the console is made because Sony's heads never wanted to get into gaming to begin with and M$ would have never gotten into consoles with Xbox
>>336088746
He was being sarcastic, fool
>>336088884
>J-Just because they aren't playable doesn't mean they aren't ready.
Anon the problem is that Wii U is 100% dead and the last title worth owning will be on a superior console as well.
>>336088339
Microsoft actually tried to buy Nintendo before they went ahead with Xbox. I think they offered them like $25 billion.
>>336077682
Disney pulled out because they have nothing to show. They aren't doing a yearly upgrade for Disney Infinity anymore and it's not worth their time to just show Infinity figures to people who aren't their audience
>>336089202
What would the gaming industry look like now had Sony and Microsoft never entered it?
Sega still making consoles/handhelds?
PC/mobile gaming completely took over?
Intel/IBM releasing Virtual Reality consoles?
>>336087653

>>336089345
This was also the only offer that Yamauchi had a semblance of resistance of declining. Bill Gates is also the only businessman Yamauchi ever respected.
>>336089459
Honestly, the Saturn might have fared better if Sega didn't feel pressured by the Playstation to try and force a hybrid 3D/2D console on the market to compete and instead focused on it's strengths to compete with the Nintendo Playstation, leading to the Dreamcast doing better as well
I think it would have led to the Sega/Nintendo rivalry to continue with two consoles dominating the market
>>336089625
why? all of their games are a fucking disgrace compared to their gamecube and n64 counter parts. the wii and wii u are never going to be remembered fondly like those two
>>336089345
Hmm didn't know that actually
thanks, have some tits
I know people complain about Pokemon and (NEW) Super Mario games, but to me I think Zelda seems like nintendo's most dried up well.
I still can't get over HD twilight princes being 59.99.
>>336089202
>>336089749
Sony and Nintendo were never going to work together. Sony was going to use the PlayStation as an opportunity to either usurp Nintendo's marketshare by making a console that was backwards compatible with the PS, or as an opportunity to buy them out. Sony was, and still is, a fucking huge corporation, and like any corporation, their intentions weren't pure.
>>336089863
>people will be playing this
>on smartphones

What a time to be alive
Kirby is the only Nintendo series that seems like it's still chugging on with it's original spirit intact. Maybe the new Zelda will surprise, but Mario, Metroid and Starfox are stuck in soulless limbo.
>>336089928
>I still can't get over HD twilight princes being 59.99.
At least it's a good game, if a remake
SFZ for $60 is the real joke
They have Wii U owners pegged as the type of people who will buy literal dogshit for 60 bucks if you just put it in front of them
>>336090387
SFZ at least looks like it had some budget and effort put into assets even if it ended up being so short and mediocre.
TP is just a port of a game from less than a decade ago, for full price. Pokemon Rumble World probably had a higher budget.
>>336089783
>all this subjectivity
But the Wii and the Wii U both had lots of great games. Nintendo is clearly still capable of putting a good game together.
It's just so sad that no one ever gives them a chance anymore. Not surprising since they spit on their fanbase constantly nowadays anyway.
>>336090232
Isn't mainline Kirby the same game always? I amused that it keeps selling.
>>336090561
>SFZ at least looks like it had some budget and effort put into assets
It looks like a GC game with some shaders.
>>336089736
>tfw no Nintendo Xbox
>>336090606
>Isn't mainline Kirby the same game always?
Example?
>>336090641
TP is literally a gamecube game that already existed. They had to at least make a new gamecube game in SFZ's case.
>>336090669
Seems very fitting, considering the N64 birthed console shooters, and something the Xbox brand is known for. I'm also positive that SGI engineers, who designed the N64, had a hand in the Xbox's creation.
>>336090593
New Nintendo consoles lack variety. The Wii was an exception. Wii U doesn't have shooters, fightans, sports, horror, meme games. It has a lot of platformers for some reason.
>>336090676
Like, what's the difference between Kirby 3D and Robobot? Or Return to Dreamland and 3D?
>>336090769
I know a lot of the guys at SGI who worked on the N64 ended up leaving to form ArtX.
>>336090743
You have a point
>>336078353
This terrifies me. They're end up cutting the game so much for that.
>>336091049
Oh, alright then. Wasn't SGI a legendarily mismanaged company? Like on the same level as Ion Storm?
>>336091229
Yeah, it got pretty bad at the end. I think one of the higher ups ended up killing himself after the guys who were leaving wouldn't let him in on the new venture.
>>336090028
Are you seriously trying to pull the NINTENDO WAS THE GOOD GUYS shit?
>>336084773
I agree
>>336091342
Didn't SGI literally throw parties all the time once they were contracted by Nintendo? That might explain why the N64 was such a weird console.
>>336091370
Heavens no, I was just saying Sony was exponentially larger and more powerful than them. This wasn't some sort of David and Goliath story. The reason the PS1 succeeded is because they had the money and power to do so.
>>336091558
I think so. It was either them or Retro.
>>336091558
>The reason the PS1 succeeded is because they had the money and power to do so.
Actually it succeeded ironically because of Nintendo and Sega
If Nintendo just went to Sony to call off the contract instead of trying to humiliate them by announcing the new partnership with Philips and the cancellation of the partnership with Sony, Sony's heads wouldn't have wanted the Playstation to beat them for revenge. Sega helped Sony because many Japanese devs believed that real time 3D was impossible and refused to work on the Playstation until after Virtua Fighter released and showed that 3D games could be made and signed onto make the PS1
Sony's money only helped them have a massive E3 showing which got a lot of news attention and let them take a sales loss with every unit by selling at $299, undercutting the competition
>>336090856

Nintendo consoles have always had a lot of platformers. They're Nintendo's forte.
Also you forgot action games. Between Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 1 and 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, there's not a terrible selection there.
>>336084409
>when Japanese gamers think PCs, they think of doujin games, visual novels, MMOs
This phenomenon really weirds me out. I never expected them to be so culturally backwards with technology like this, especially given what they represented in the '90s.
>>336092043
>Pretty sure it has a few Mario sports games, plus Wii Sports Club
Oh yeah, I forgot that it has a few racing games as well. MK8, Sonic Racing Transformed, FAST Racing Neo, 90's Arcade Racer when that comes out, etc.

>>336092043
You know what i mean anon. No new 3rd party shit. Even the GC had multiplats. Wii U only users are missing a ton of shit. NX will be another PS4 with remasters out of the ass (if they manage to bring 3rd parties back).
Do you know ho is Deus Ex on the Wii U? I'm planning on buying it but most multiplats are gimped on Nintendo.
>>336092678
Deus Ex is fucking perfect on Wii U, I'll go as far as to say it makes better gamepad use than most games.
>>336084808
Truthfully, Nintendo is the creator of the modern console experience, the trend that started to launch story driven games from then on. a huge example would be Ninja Gaiden, among others.
>>336090593
if you really believe that then you are probably the type of manchild that will pay full price for an nx.
enjoy bayonetta 3 cocksucker.
I call bullshit, they would at least have Federation Force, since apparently they think that's going to revitalize the 3DS.
Nintendo has been less and less involved with E3, as with the media coverage.
When the press is only there to look at dudebro games, you can't blame them.
>>336081219
>Only playable game on the showfloor = only game they'll talk about at E3
As expected of a retarded animu poster.
>>336093293
Noice. I got it on PS+ but cancelled that shit and they took my games. I rather have Dude Sex on a Ninty console really. It's weird as fuck.
>>336076803

While that is bad, its still one more playable game than Sony and Microshit had at last year's E3.

>implying anyone wants to copy Nintendo after the Wii U
>>336092678
I do agree that there could be more third-party games on the Wii U but the selection there is actually pretty damn good. If anything, it's better than the PS4 or the Xbone at the moment.

Do you think they'll still do the Treehouse stream?
2015's stream was coasting off the utter hatred of that year's Digital Event, but this year will have that + things like MUH CENSORED and muh HIRING PEDOS and ONE GAME ON THE SHOW FLOOR
>>336094976
And once the Wii U failed, nobody cared about those features. Corporate espionage is a thing. You can bet Sony at least already knows what the NX is.
>>336094807
Can't disagree. I can't justify getting a PS4 for just one game. Maybe when Nier comes out in a couple years.
>>336095343
>Can't disagree. I can't justify getting a PS4 for just one game. Maybe when Nier comes out in a couple years.
I'd say a PS4 is still worth owning, but then I'm biased since I really like DMC4:SE and SFV. Plus some of the remasters are kinda worth it.
>>336094773
It's not like companies copy each other just because they think something is good, it's mostly a matter of leveling the playing field and removing choices that might sway cutomers, if B company has everything A has there's no definite reason to go with A.

Oh yeah, they invented modern gaming alright. Gaming as we know it right at this moment is owned mostly to Sony. And I have to thank them for that, I really do.
>>336078372
I don't want nintendo to die, I want nintendo to be like sega and multiplat
>>336096639
You may as well kill them.
>>336096639

They're a Sony pub now.
>>336096807
Sega is what happens when you go multiplat and turn into shit
Nintendo could be what happens when you go multiplat and be good about it
>>336097041
>Nintendo could be what happens when you go multiplat and be good about it
That would imply Nintendo were still good.

E3 is dead is a delusional damage control conspiracy theory exclusively coming from Nintendo fans to cope with the fact they're becoming irrelevant
>>336076803
Not too worried.
Sony will bring the big guns including a Crash Bandicoot Reboot. E3 will still be amazing this year, it's just Nintendo phoned it in again like last year.
It's pretty insulting that they went out of their way to announce they will continuing to make First and Third Party 3DS games but Wii U 2016 release schedule is codenamed The Grateful Dead by Nintendo employees.
>>336098370
There's no denying Nintendo is having some serious problems but you're the one that's delusional if you think all is fine and dandy in E3-land
>>336096438
>Gaming as we know it right at this moment is owed mostly to Sony.
Before I disagree with this, what exactly do you mean by it?
Ok let me clarify this to you you fucking moronic shit fucks. It's not one game, it'sone remakethat they will be showing in motherfucking E3 go fuck yourselves Nintendo ain't going anywhere
>>336080390
>Wii 2016 lineup is a 3 hour rail shooter,
I fucking wish there was 3-hours of rail shooting.
>>336098479
>Crash Bandicoot reboot
Why do I have the feeling this will turn out to be a mere shell of its former glory? For some reason I can't see this as the great revival it's touted as. Modern gaming has made me very cynical.
>>336099062
It's taken me a week to get all the medals in this game. I fucking wish it was just 3 hours too. What a pain in the ass. The black Arwing wasn't even worth it.
>>336099409
I get no joy from those medals. They're not challenging, they're just busy work.
What the fuck happened to the guys making star fox? When did it become so hard to make a bunch of on-rails levels?
>>336099037
Yeah, keep talking shit behind your computer you little bitch. You're lucky I can't physically slam your fucking face into concrete and choke the fucking life from your body you worthless degenerate piece of shit.
>>336099305
It won't be developed by Naughty Dog, that's for sure. ND gave up making mascot platformers and are now all about cinematic shooters.
>>336099491
Yeah, same here. They felt superfluous. Kind of tired of NIntendo's "score-attack" philosophy too. I liked Star Fox Zero somewhat, but the score-attack bullshit just seemed like they were artificially increasing the difficulty.
Just make a hard mode for Christ sake.
>>336076803
when has E3 ever been about what can be play on the floor (specially after it was closed to public)
E3 is about what you tease. barelly anything revealed at E3 is playable or anything different than whatever section of gameplay is used in the reveal trailer
>>336098479
Hate to tell you this fampai but Sony only owns the rights to the original trilogy, Activision still owns the franchise
>>336076803
What if Nintendo is trolling everyone now and does show the NX?
>>336090593
the Wii had galaxy 1 and monster hunter tri. pretty much the only amazing games.
the wiiu had DKTF
thats it lol
>>336100595
Yeah, Naughty Dog... getting those guys to do anything outside of cinematic experiences is impossible. Hopefully the new developers can do the game justice. I'm just very skeptical due to previous experiences of getting burned.
Star Fox was alright I guess, just wasn't as amazing as the hype made it seem. Still kind of pissed off about that.
>>336077321
If it was a VR headset. Imagine if the controller interacted with it like it was an AR device.
So when you look down at your controller, everything jumps out at you through the screen.
>>336078372
are you immortal?
>>336100856
theyve been doing a great job at trolling for ten years now, then
Should i play Wind Waker or Skyward Sword after I beat TP?
>>336088339
>Nintendo fucked Sony
I spotted the retard
>>336101016
don't play skyward sword. It's shit.
>>336101016
If you really have to play those two, WW. Just go back to Oot and MM, or better yet, the NES one.
>>336101157
They absolutely did. They partnered with SONY to make the playstation and didn't even bother telling them they cancelled the deal before announcing that it was now a partnership with phillips.
>>336101465
and they wont have to had sony didnt get over their head and demand 100% freedom to use all Nintendo IPs how they pleased
>>336101451
>the NES one
You mean the good one right?
That of course beingZelda II
>>336100987
Are you delusional?
>>336102147
so, how exactly you expect a company that has 0 debt, 6Billions USD on cash and made money even out of the WiiU. to die?
>>336102054
Aren't you the contrarian one
>>336078656
That no one else will reply to these kind of post like yours. People only want to spread around shit but ignore anything reasonable like your post
>>336103362
I was thinking of posting what he posted, I really was, but honestly I've just given up at this point. No one here replies to anything unless it's bait.
>>336076803
while I think this is a shit idea, I hope that this just means that they are just going to show zelda at e3, but maybe having the rest of the games/info in a direct like they have done latetly
>>336076803
>still shitposting about this
>after Nintendo BTFO Nintendoomsayers today
Literally stop posting.
>>336077264
>>336077607
>last year's E3 was the biggest yet
>had more key note shows than before
>this year EA is the only one cancelling their show
But nintendo is confirming there's is shit, so it's time to pretend E3 doesn't matter anymore. I fucking hate Nintendrones who can't understand there are other games and companies out there.
>>336104179
Aren't Disney and Wargaming backing out as well?
>>336103582
Exactly,the same thread pops up everyday multiple times shitting on Nintendo for only having one playable game there and thinking that somehow means they'll only show one game too. If Anybody brings up the idea that they could still show some non playable games then it goes completely ignored. Pokemon sun/moon greatly support this because it's highly likely to be shown there but everyone knows it won't be playable.
Why is this even a abd thing for the general public that won't be going at E3, it's all a gaming media cocksucking contest
One playable game doesn't mean there won't be other games shown, though no playable Pokemon Sun/Moon is actually weird
>>336104364
I think the only responses I would get would be weak deflections. Most of the time, people here don't listen to reason.
>>336104350
Disney and Wargaming have never had keynote shows. It is of note that they won't have booths, as Disney always had a big presence.
E3 is an industry only trade show that has become more public with the rise of streaming. There's a reason Nintendo and Sony used to literally show spreadsheets and powerpoints before ending with a big reveal.
It's made to advertise your company to the industry, show of your big projects and avenues - which is why every year companies will take time to talk about movie streaming services and shit no one on /v/ cares about. It's to show off what you got so other companies and developers will want to collaborate and work with you.
Nintendo has more and more taken a consumer focused approach after dropping key note shows for Nintendo Directs, probably to make up for being no-shows at large consumer-centric shows like Gamescom and TGS - while still doing invite-only press panels for stuff they normally would have talked more about in keynote shows.
The format of E3 is changing for sure, it had several new major additions, such as the Square-Enix and Bethesda shows, and is now having some departures. To call it dead or dying isn't correct, but it definitely is changing.
>>336104364
Pokemon Sun and Moon will definenlty be shown. They've intentionally put off revealing any gameplay for it specifically so they have something big for E3, and I suspect there may be more considering how much of a drought there's been.
>Nintendo says that it wants to provide attendees “complete immersion” with Zelda, and that’s why it will have nothing else
>>336104589
Or most nintendofags just browse other threads instead since they know it's pointless to reason with shitposters and their hate boner for Nintendo. Most of these threads feel like they're just shitposters replying to themselves or legitimately stupid people who fall for bait constantly. The worst part is that once e3 actually arrives,they'll probably be proven wrong and the board will be filled with btfo threads
>>336104739
And what a drought it's been. Shit posters cant even argue this shit won't be shown at e3.

Microsoft helped Nintendo create Satellaview as well and it was a big deal in Japan at the time. Hence why that picture is so old. The buyout meeting between Gates and Yamauchi was held in secret because even the slightest rumor would have made share prices go wild at the time because it really was the era where MS were the richest company in the world.
Though the one reason Yamauchi respected Gates was because he outright said to Yamauchi "We're joining the console market and we're going to offer you to join us or compete with us" compared to other companies who snuck around them. Yamauchi talked shit about the Xbox plenty like saying "They have no idea what they are doing" but he never had it out for them like he did Sony.
>>336079496
This is the timeline we're on thanks to amiibo autists and subservient NA cucks. Is there still time to avert this bad future? Sure, but the window is closing fast. Once March comes, that's all she wrote for any decent games and good hardware coming from this crumbling trashcan.
>>336081495
The wojak edits keep getting more and more disgusting.
>>336077643
This is what i was thinking exactly.
They dont have shit, and will probably start releasing full quality nx games 2-3 years into its life . Nintendo will die soon because of its arrogance
Ayy whats the difference, if theyre not showing NX
Then they only have Zelda, Metroid Federation Force and Paper Mario and honestly who gives a flying fuck about the last two
A Zelda show might be baller, I mean, FFXV Uncovered was enjoyable so this could turn the same
>there are people over the age of 12 who bought a Wii U
Nintendo fanboys in a nutshell
>>336108097
Replace the mug with an amiibo.
>>336084808
They (and sega) rose from the ashes after the Game Crash of '83 and revived the gaming industry. You can't really refute that.

>>336081278

you're contradicting yourself
>>336106648
They are going to go full retard like last E3 with the star fox muppets.
Looks like they didn't learn their lesson when that failed and the Yakuza killed Iwata.
>>336076803
Last year they just had SFZ and Metroid Prime Federation Force though
>>336110778
When you take the words at face value, yes, but when you consider that they are mostly innovating with gimmicks that are fairly useless or even detrimental to video games instead of keeping up with the standard, he's not that far off.
I can see where EA, Nintendo, Activision, etc are coming from
Like, you want to reveal someone and have it talked about. Why reveal it in a one hour slot where your competitor can immediately one up you an hour later, leaving your reveal with a lessened impact? I think that's why Sony and MS revealed their consoles before E3
>>336078169
>>336078000
>>336078564
Activision and EA have taken up a large amount of space at both the PlayStation Booth and Xbox booth for years, and the removal of their independent booths does not mean they are le backing out E3 is doomed XD
They will all still be there, unfortunately, taking advantage of the huge amounts of hype E3 brings.
Pic related.
>"different approach"
ha, no. Go back to r3dd1t 14 year old.
Nintendo has largely stopped caring over the past few years, as other have said, because they focus on quarterly directs instead. (which are cheaper and better honestly)
I'll bet you don't even remember when e3 stopped being public in 2007. Before that it was a real shit show. Exciting, but shit none the less. It became more about publicity than games. Its expensive as hell to put on a booth, and since there are few mid size developers now, a lot of companies stopped caring.
>>336108064
>there are people over the age of 12 that like moeshit
grow up you fucking loser
>>336076803
That's odd, I could have sworn that Nintendo games have been unplayable every year since the WiiU came out
It's the only playable game on the show floor, but not the only game they're actually going to show.
EA doesn't have a showfloor, but are still having a conference.
Nintendo realized they wanted to give the NX as much a time to focus on as possible, and looked to Sony's method for their PS4 reveal.
Nintendo has still reserved quite a bit of space at E3 if you look at the floor plans. Really makes you wonder what else they have up their sleeves
Am I the only one that's really looking forward to finally seeing this game in action?
>>336111398
They're gonna need all the space for Zelda they can get. Single player demos are the absolute worst to play at conventions.
It could easily take over an hour to get through just a handful of people per kiosk, assuming that each demo will last over 10 mins, and they usually do...
>>336111293
>it's a severely butthurt nintendo child makes a baseless assumption episode
>>336111398
DLC, Amiibos, other "transformation"
>>336111587
No, it will be the most followed game there.
>>336111671
i've lost hope for nintendo a long time ago friend, and no it's not a baseless assumption because you DID upload moeshit
TRANSFORMATION
>>336076803
After being last year's laughing stock, despite being the only game company to have released the games advertised in the show these 10 past months, they have every possible reasons to back out from E3.
>It is a marketing show and advertisement cost the money that only Sony and MS are ready to spend. And there's the NX coming, so they better focus on the marketing for the next console
>Nintendo directs are working well
> They don't have third party games they can take credits for (the whole shemue thing and FF7R thing that Sony did, despite the games being multiplats)
They just have no reason to be there. The whole smoke and mirrors thing that Sony put last year was just announces of games not released yet and hollow promises. MS had shown games that are out now at least.
>>336076803
One good game on the Wii U > 10 Cinematic movies on the PS4

it was finished and released on the eshop. i think it's been taken down since then for obvious legal reasons, but it certainly isn't fake.
>>336078523
The NX being a dedicated VR console is literally the only thing that can make me do a 180 on my opinions regarding that console.
>>336079496
None of this shit would happen.
Also by this point, someone else buying Nintendo might be for the best. Even though it can't happen due to legal bullshit, Disney buying out Nintendo could be good if they forced Nintendo to quit dicking around and make shit that people actually wanted, without interfering TOO much.

No way Nintendo will get into VR. For one, it's too expensive and completely goes against their model of selling older, weaker hardware at a good price and still making money on each unit sold. Then there's the fact that the Virtual Boy flopped harder than the Wii U and they had Gunpei Yokoi killed because of it. Nobody is going to want to get Gunpei'd, so nobody there will ever suggest any kind of VR thing again.
>>336116341
honestly, this is probably for the better. At least with current technology
>>336077643
>Is it only nintendrones that can't see this as blatant bullshit for "we got nothing?"

Yes, they totally have nothing.
>>336108005
Uncovered was just 2 hours. Meanwhile, Zelda is all they have for like 3 days.
>>336116726
Remember how everyone thought the same about the WiiU when the Wii's last years had nothing?
>not allowed to play videogames besides Pokemon until I was 12
>first proper console, not just a Pokemon simulator, was a PS2, and I was able to have more objectivity because game companies weren't locked into my childhood psyche

>realize that this is how every Nintendo franchise is for all these people who beyond all logic, shill a company that is beyond the pale of salvation
I need to rip this band-aid off as fast as I can: Your nostalgia is not a litmus for good companies. Nintendo in the late 80s and early 90s treated its partners like crap, demanded pointless game-limiting hoops for its systems, bossed and bullied developers and was generally a cancerous mob on the industry. The rise of third-party favoring consoles wasn't just an awakening, it was inevitable under the Nintendo model. And Nintendo hasn't learned anything from it, they still strap pointless limitations to their consoles and refuse to deal with 'that passing fad of the interweb', inject toyetic gimmicks into their consoles, and have no interest in securing any new audiences to deal with a few nostalgic acolytes, and even THEM they can't pander to properly.
Nintendo needs to go, and it's going to go. I get it, you don't want to see this company that meant so much to you as a child leave us, but that time has past. Companies aren't family, they're companies, and over time brand loyalty moves into delusion. It's time to stop investing money into a company that no longer has any connection to you. They butchered Star Fox, they butchered Metroid, they butchered Zelda and Donkey Kong and Paper Mario and Animal Crossing and Mario Party and so much more. They don't know how to make video games anymore. So stop giving them money, and stop giving them support. Let it all go.
And I don't mean flock to Sony like they're better, I mean flock to other games. Any other games, stop being tied to brand nostalgia.
>>336117498
You're telling me I'm delusional while claiming Nintendo is going to go away?
The irony is palpable. But no anon you're right, THIS time for sure they are done.
>every Zelda game since Wind Waker has taken 4-5 years to make

Nintendo is retarded.
>>336117928
>they've never made an HD game OR an (actual) open world game before
before Mario 64, they never made a 3D platformer with a camera you can control
>>336118151
Right, but Super Mario 64 only took 2 years.
Making an open world game in HD takes considerably longer, especially with no experience.
