>Nintendo NX releasing in 8 months (March 2017)
>Nintendo still refuses to show it at the biggest gaming event of the year
What exactly is Nintendo thinking?
>What exactly is Nintendo thinking?
"We're fucked"
they gonna show it
They're thinking they'll delay the console with the aim of giving it a stronger launch lineup.
It means that it's the best device ever created in the universe and that Nintendo needs to keep it secret for as long as possible, so when the inevitable copycats arrive the NX would've already been out for ages.
>>340590610
They had made blatantly clear they won't.
They want to be unique for the sake of being unique
Regardless of whether they are shooting themselves in the foot or not
E3 is the biggest gaming event of the year?
Could have fooled me considering everyone is blowing their loads a week early.
Has Nintendo ever released a console with no E3 presence beforehand?
>>340590803
The NES and SNES
>>340590476
it won't be out in March
don't trust them with release dates
>Nintendo has nothing in this months NPD
>Wii U and 3DS sales are slow
>Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE looks like it's on it's way to flopping
>Their only major release this year is Pokemon
J U S T
Isn't the wii u only like 4 years old?
Why are they already releasing another console?
>>340591112
Because it's a flop.
They're thinking it's really important they don't screw it up, so they best be ready with a really good reveal at just the right time
Neither PS4 nor Xbone were revealed at E3, E3 isn't that important these days
Can they say they won't reveal something and then reveal it as a surprise? Or is that against E3 rules or something?
>>340591112
It'll be 4.5 years once the NX releases. Which is marginally shorter than their standard cycle.
>>340591112
Have you ever asked your parents why you have a little brother?
>>340591112
5 years is the norm.
4.5 isn't anywhere near as bad as /v/ was implying it was going to be (they thought the NX was going to come out last year)
>>340591254
>E3 isn't that important these days
Not this again. This rhetoric only started once Nintendo said the NX wasn't being shown at E3 this year. E3 is important and still very relevant to the industry. Nintendo held seperate events because they'd be easily overshadowed by other presentations. Just imagine if Nintendo had to go after last year's Sony conference with their "transformation" bullshit.
Sad.
i'll buy whatever they put out
>>340591309
If the rumours are true, they may be changing the NX up for VR compatibility, which would explain its delay.
>>340591508
It's been said for a few years anon thanks to strong rumours of a few publishers like EA expressing disinterest in E3.
>>340591508
So big that a shitload of publishers opted having a floor presence. So big that even the big three would rather show most of their shit on their own terms .
They probably don't want to share the spotlight with other announcements during E3.
I'm hopeful this means Spaceworld, or an equivalent, is happening again this year.
I'm curious, has anyone here boycotted Nintendo because of their awful moves lately?
>tfw don't have to buy Pokemon Moon, SMTIVA or TMS#FE because of 3DS and Wii U homebrew
"please understand"
>>340591675
Indeed. It didn't just start this year. Some of these guys are either purposefully trying to rewrite history, or have forgotten.
>>340590610
*muffled legend of zelda music playing*
>>340590476
probably something like
"Wow who fucking cares about e3 in 2017 it's been a joke for years"
>>340591353
Hey, fuck you
>>340590476
>What exactly is Nintendo thinking?
They aren't thinking. NX is DOA and is going to sell less than the Wii U.
NX will have its own reveal event, just like the PS4 and Xbone did
>>340591353
>why you have a little brother?But I don't
>>340591892
/v/ is too summer to remember that.
Besides, it's only bad when Nintendo do it.
>>340591751
I boycotted them during the OP rainfall shit, but bought their games again when they started realizing that localization isn't evil.
I might abstain from buying Nintendo games if NX doesn't turn out to be very good. I'll wait and see.
>>340591254
>E3 isn't that important these days
lol, its incredible how nintendo fans all in unison started saying this after nintendo announced their console wouldnt be shown
>>340591254
> 2014
> heh E3 is so based lets send a card to Tree house fellow drones
> 2015, Sony BTFOs everyone
> E-E3 never mattered
>>340591675
Rumours aren't sources, anon. And they still have their own conference.
>>340591716
A lot of them don't do their own presentations and stick to having their games shown during Sony or MS' conference.
>>340591985
They didn't send that card for E3, they sent it for the Treehouse event for being extremely unlike E3.
>>340592108
Shut the fuck up Drone, no one believes your guys bullshit anymore, Nintendo is dead kid
>>340591985
E3 was shit in 2014. The only redeemable thing during that time was Treehouse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7lq6YDA-2I
>>340591675
>few publishers like EA expressing disinterest in E3.
Of course they are. Because they can't show anything new, only rehashes.
>>340591380
Considering how many people bought the Wii U and that their competition is trotting out revised consoles, I think they'd have been better off getting something out this year.
If the software wasn't ready, it wasn't ready and I don't blame them, but I do think it would be good to get some competitive hardware out the door earlier with a nice price.
>>340591926
>tfw no little brother to make him your crossressing sissyslut
>>340592227
And Sony BTFO everyone last year, no one was pathetic enough to send them a card. You guys are losers, a fucking laughing stock.
>>340591985
>let me re envision history to fit my needs!
people have been saying E3 is dying for a few years.
the console makers announce things outside of E3. at their own events.
the game devs also announce things at smaller events all the time or just announce things online.
E3 has been becoming less and less important due to the internet.
>>340592405
How many times does it have to be said - the card was not sent for E3, it was sent for the treehouse streams after it.
>>340590476
Isn't Gamescom bigger and more important to the industry than E3?
>>340592489
He's too stupid to understand, I guess it can't be helped.
>>340591043
>Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE looks like it's on it's way to flopping
I wonder why.
>>340592489
That doesn't make it any less autistic.
>Nintendo bowing out of E3 in recent years
>Nintendo producing far less exclusives in recent years
>Nintendo virtually putting out no Wii U games at all this year
They should just become an investment company already
>>340592718
I didn't say it wasn't, any corporate interaction /v/ does makes me cringealthough nothing could top the horrors of GG
>>340592441
not so much due to the internet as social media in particular. but more than that - e3 as an event has gone nowhere and hasn't increased in value at all.
Keep laughing faggots, NX will be revolutionary and a game changer just like the Wii U was. They're not showing it at E3 because they KNOW they're going to turn the market upside down regardless once it releases and it's going to trick Sony and Microshaft into believing they don't need to try at E3 too except they're going to fail miserably because neither companies have the innovative ingenuity of Nintendo.
>>340592719
>Nintendo producing far less exclusives in recent years
I'm not sure this point is true, as they used to be supported with 3rd parties but without those most of their libraries look really bare.
>>340592931
Ebin falseflag
>>340591112
That's the normal lifespan of consoles. The last generation was just egregiously over stayed.
>>340592987
>but without those most of their libraries look really bare.
which is why they need to stop making hardware. no one thinks its a good value to spend 300-400 dollars for a piece of hardware that only plays cheesy nintendo games with outdated graphics. they need to move third party or pc already.
>>340591112
We don't know if it's a (home) console.
>>340593308
Some people clearly do as the games sell well, which is pretty remarkable given how little it's been advertised.
>>340593308
>cheesy nintendo games with outdated graphics.
>These problems will automatically be fixed by going third party
>>340593284
>That's the normal life span of consoles.
There is no "normal lifespan" for consoles. It usually falls within a general range based on how successful/profitable the system was.
>>340594378
Normal can also mean average, and nothing about his post implied the lifespans were predetermined.
>>340593331
it'll be a homo console
I'm Zelda going be on the NEW system? That's all I care about
>Hey, we fucked up pretty bad with the Wii U, should we show the NX this year and make it absolutely clear this is a new console?
>Nah, just show it off on a direct near release
>But what will we have for E3
>Zelda
>That's it?
>Yes
>>340594614
Yup it's confirmed to be on Wii U and NX - a.k.a. the Wii U version will probably hold it back
>>340590476
Daily reminder that the N64 and the GC were not revealed on their year's E3, and they were amazing consoles, so just trust in nintendo, they know they cant rush things, because MS and Sony will be paying attention to what nintendo is going to do and they will try their best to copy them
>>340594725
Nintendo was also a way different kind of developer in the 64 and GC days. They haven't had that level of quality in a long time.
>>340594719
A launch title can't really be held back since they inherently can't have extended development times for the hardware due to the fact they're launch titles...
Is Metroid done forever?
>>340594837
Nah the Wii, DS, 3DS, and Wii U all have great games. People just feel more nostalgia for N64/GCN on this site since the average age is 18.
>>340590476
"Hey, let's announce X-Thing and then not say anything else about it for 2 or so years! We'll let people's imaginations run away from them and build up hype to a level that no amount of actual marketing could hope to achieve on its own so that when we actually do release information it'll be carefully sculpted to add to that hype being tossed around online...
...All so that when we DO release X-Thing all out hardcore fans will buy it regardless of how shitty it is!
It Literally Prints Money!!!
>>340590476
NX is going to be a Nintendo smartphone.
Screencap this.
>>340594495
His post explicitly said that the normal lifespan for consoles is ~4 years. Generally consoles that are around 4 years are less successful, consoles that are more successful see more time until their successor comes.
>Sega Genesis 1989 - Sega Saturn 1995
>NES 1985 - SNES 1991
>PC Engine 1987 - PC FX 1994
I'm pretty sure the first two Playstations were around 6 years and still got plenty of games a year into the successor's life span.
When you talk about ~4 year consoles, that's like Saturn, original Xbox, the PC-FX, systems that didn't sell well. Even looking at Nintendo, the later systems that didn't sell as well tended to wind down at around 5 years.
When a console sells well and has lots of people buying software for it, it tends to hang around.
>>340595037
Wii and DS have some good games, but nothing on the level of what they used to make. 3DS library also has some worthwhile entries, but the Wii U library is absolutely pathetic.
>>340595239
Yes, and?
>>340595036
Metroid was never a major franchise. You just got spoiled by Retro
>>340595272
I disagree, I feel there's plenty modern classics in the U's library
>>340595468
You probably haven't spent much time playing the SNES or N64, then. Wii U games are embarassingly shallow compared to them.
>>340595060
They were forced to announce it last year, otherwise every single site will proclaim "Nintendo goes mobile" for 2 years straight.
>>340595563
I disagree, Wii U has plenty of games with sizeable quality content
>>340590476
1. They are going to show the NX at its own event
2. E3 stopped being the biggest gaming event like 5 or 6 years ago.
>>340595037
N64 was meh. What they teased was Silicon Graphics Workstation graphics. What we got was blurry and restrictive.
GameCube started out strong, but fell flat on its face and into obscurity.
Wii sold really well...just not a whole lotta games did, too. It'll be fondly remembered for Reggie being a whiny little shit regarding the North American release of Xenoblade Chronicles by stating he'd only consider it if it sold out in Europe. Thank you, based Eurobros.
The DS succeeded because it was a platform that allowed for experimentation like the Playstation did. Same for the 3DS, really.
I mean sure, they each had some good games and that's what its all about at the end of the day, but just imagine what could have been if Nintendo developed their systems to be on-par with the competition to better allow for x-platforming, weren't jews when it came to licensing fees, did media play (DVD movie, etc.), AND kept with their innovation.
But no, Nintendo is a toy company first and foremost, and toys is all they'll make from now on.

>>340591112
Because they are money hungry, they've released new versions of the 3DS like three times.
>>340594725
>N64 was amazing
The only Nintendo hardware worse than that piece of shit is the Virtual Boy.
>>340597037
Tell us why it was bad anon.
Simple.
They don't want to be overshadowed by whatever E3 has to show.
They want to reveal NX when nothing is going on so all eyes go on them.
Sony and Microsoft says thank you to Nintendo for staying the fuck away from holidays 2016.
>>340597094
Because (You)s
Anyone else notice that with Iwata gone, things aren't seeming right with Nintendo?
>>340597102
>They want to reveal NX when nothing is going on so all eyes go on them.
>Nintendo plans to reveal NX around Christmas time
>A time when all eyes will be on whatever deals the competition has for their systems

>A time when no one is buying anything to recover from Christmas and New Year's
>>340598450
But Nintendo slipping into irrelevancy is a right thing to happen.
>>340598812
I didn't say it was a good plan or anything.
They're going to reveal NX in September, and March is a big holiday season for Japan.
>>340598450
they havent been seeming right since the moment they launched the faggot ass wii and amiibo bullshit, which was ages ago
wait, ive been out of the loop. at what point did this stop being a rumor and started being real?
>>340599116
The "NX?"
That codename was revealed by Iwata the minute they announced they were going to go into mobile apps, he announced it to prove they weren't dropping out of the hardware business and going straight up mobile.
Reggie also mentioned it during their E3 2015 Digital Event.
>>340590476
I hate you playstation/Xbox fanboys
>>340599348
But why? It's healthy to ask questions like that about retard decisions.
>>340590476
They're thinking that E3 is becoming obsolete and they're correct. They know that the value is entirely in the press conference, which they already don't need because of the Direct format, which, if you recall, they did one last year during E3. Floor space is expensive and largely pointless because the showroom is only for press and people are caring less and less about the press these days. That's why they're only bothering to show the new Zelda on the floor this year. They're only paying for enough space to show their biggest product and everything else will be through a Direct.
>>340599348
Just ignore them. They are bored and have buyer's remorse. Let em vent their frustrations m8.
>>340600181
So they could end up having more it just won't be bothered at E3.
>>340600181
>They're only paying for enough space to show their biggest product and everything else will be through a Direct.
Their biggest product is Pokemon. Nintendo has been trying to avoid E3 since the Skyward Sword debacle. More power to them.
>>340600417
>Nintendo has been trying to avoid E3 since the Skyward Sword debacle.
Wasn't that the same year everyone was fucking up royally with their presentations? Between Ubisoft having Mr. Caffeine, Konami having a completely embarrassing show filled with unfunny skits, to laser tag interrupting a presentation?

>Horrible system sales
>weakest of the Big 3
N64 still managed to do big sales in North America and Europe. Saturn only got its sales from Japan. Saturn was, unfortunately, hit the hardest during that point.
Nintendo didn't lay off a good chunk of its employees while scrambling to push the next console out like SEGA did after Saturn.
And if you want to get technical, Saturn's 3rd party support was worse since most of the better 3rd party games were locked down for Japan-only. Nintendo was fortunate enough to get some western and Japanese 3rd parties that SEGA couldn't.
So should I get a 3DS or NX will be the new handheld and I should wait for that?
>>340593331
it's been called a home console by reggie and iwata. The fact Zelda is getting ported practically confirms that fact.
Besides that, the 3DS is still doing well and no one is pushing Nintendo is shit out another handheld quite yet.
>>340602224
3DS. If NX isn't a home console, it's gonna be smartphone-tier garbage.
>>340591604
Nintendo already mentioned they don't find VR fun, and considering where the tech is at, there's no way they'd make a VR console. No evidence it will catch on, no proof that games are wholly enhanced by it, and way too pricey.
>>340602224
Neither. Get a WiiU or something. Handhelds are garbage.
>>340590476
They're thinking "this thing will probably die anyway, so let's try to let it go out as quietly as possible. At least we can tell the fanboys that we tried one more time before we started making Playstation games, though."
>>340602108
Nah, Saturn got tons of games from several different companies in Japan. PSX is the obvious winner, but Saturn is still a step above the N64 in terms of having a diverse library offering.
November 2017 release at the earliest. Possibly January 2018.
The 'mobile' part is basically android trash, even if they split hairs to say that it is not.
>>340590476
Jesus fuck this man was murdered in Photoshop
>>340602567
Aren't Sony and MS going to update their consoles before that?
>>340602493
But that's where the problem lies when most said diverse library never even got released outside of Japan, mostly thanks to bullshit politics between SEGA of Japan running everything and Bernie Stolar deciding not to release everything here.
>>340602567
but they already confirmed it's launching in March of 2017. You don't just change a console's launch date.

That won't mean a fucking thing.
See: The Wii U. Everyone thought it was a half step from the Wii.
Its a stupid demographic. Either you already own a PS4 or you don't want one. Selling people that already own your console a marginal upgrade for a big price is only gonna work on kids with parents money.

>What exactly is Nintendo thinking?
If they announce it at E3 it will be overshadowed by all of the other hype
If they announce it in a dedicated Direct, it will be the only major news for the day and get much more recognition. E3 is a terrible place to reveal your console for the first time.
>>340590476
They got their heads deep up their asses and cant think of anything good.
>>340603207
It's not about that. I bought a Wii U and seriously regret it.

>>340591112
>Isn't the wii u only like 4 years old?
By the time NX is released the Wii U will almost be 5 years old, which is normal
Now the Xbox "one-two" and PS4.5 are coming out very early on the other hand
>>340590476
I think the announcement of sony releasing a mere console revision was actual infarct enough to scare Nintendo from announcing anything at E3.
It's amazing how far Nintendo has fallen to tuck in it's tail to a slim version from a competitor.
>>340603042
>Selling people that already own your console a marginal upgrade for a big price is only gonna work on kids with parents money.
Worked for Sony getting people to buy a PS4 at launch.
It's definitely better now, but it was honestly only a marginal upgrade to the PS3 at launch, especially with how many re-releases they did.
>>340603284

Video games are toys silly
>>340603463

Doesn't really matter. People get incredibly hyped over dumb shit like a kickstarter or trailer for a game that was announced 10 years ago.
The point is, when they reveal the NX, its going to be the ONLY thing people talk about that week, not one of 30 things.
>>340603378
>being scared of rumors
That they should have died after the n64 and gamecube alienated all the third parties and that the wii was a freak success that bought them time to fix fundamental problems which they instead interpreted as 'let's make more shovelshit for casuals to compete with phones!'
>>340598889
>March is a big holiday season for Japan.
Japan doesn't even buy consoles anymore. Japan is fucking shrinking, why the fuck is Nintendo ignoring America?

>>340602848
This image has been kicked around on these boards before. If it's true, it sounds like they weren't expecting Sony and Microsoft to release revised editions of their home consoles -- which I do believe are being released to at least partially counter whatever Nintendo is coming with, regardless of what company PR is putting out.
Neither of the other players can actually afford a resurgent Nintendo.
>>340590692

They likely will someday.

Oh that's simple; Atlus decided to drop the SMT part and wanted to make their version of Fire Emblem. Nintendo couldn't give a shit and just let them.
>>340603971
actually a console cycle is the span between system releases. It has nothing to do with support.
Despite the fact the DS launched only 3 years after the GBA did, it is a generation ahead of the GBA.
So that said, the PS1 had a 4 year cycle. PS2 had 6 years, and the PS3 had 7 years. The Wii had 6 years, and the 360 had 8 goddamn years.
>>340604026
PS4 is within 300k units of outselling the Wii U in Japan. The Wii U won't have anything more going for it either to keep the lead up, so it's only a matter of time before the PS4 overtakes it. The Wii U had a 15 month head start too.
>>340604251
It hadn't overtaken it yet? That's bizarre.
>>340603475
Yes that's exactly where I'm going with it. They (game publishers) simultaneously pushed for what they wanted and killed the golden goose.
A lot of you weren't that interested in video games back in the 2000s and even less of you were on /v/.
For a five year span, e3 was the biggest ticket all year. To this day it still retains some of its magic power that elicits excitement. But it's really a shadow of where it was and the publishers have finally started pulling out.
>>340603713
>rumors that are absolutely gonna happen
>>340604109
And yet it does absolutely nothing to appeal to fire emblem fans, with the entire game looking like a bad megaten instead.
>>340604458
>A lot of you weren't that interested in video games back in the 2000s
speak for yourself
>>340604306
The reason why is twofold: Nintendo is still a very Japanese company and Japan still likes Nintendo more than the rest of the world does, and Sony has been treating Japan as an afterthought, since they know global sales can be much higher than potential sales should they focus on Japan.

Why do people forget that 2014 was a garbage year outside Nintendo, yet they still get ignored
They should have put Tokyo Mirage on the Vita or PS4
Nintenfriends clearly can't appreciate it
>>340604761
Are--are you fucking retarded..?
They want their own event and time
E3 this year is going to be filled with half gen skips and VR and Nintendo doesnt want to talk about NX and not have a demo for it
Their timing release is to have NX revealed at March with a healthy library, while also having E3 right around the corner for ever more games to show
It's a strategy that's going to pay off in the long run
>>340604768
Because you're a dipshit, and your taste and opinions are extremely niche, and not representative of the market's perception at all.
Or did you forget where you are right now?
>>340604789
I appreciate it Sonyfriend
I already own PS4/Wii U, and have been a Sonynentedo since PS2 and GC
Seeing what is basically a Persona game featuring Fire Emblem is fucking neat

Holy shit, you're fucking delusional, lol. Why do you fucking cucks continue to circlejerk about a company that has let you down over, and over, and over.

>>340603638
I find it extremely hilarious that even bronies will say "no, no, this show is really mature, look at the dialog and themes and shit!"
Even they have the need to feel less childish
It's only Nintendo fans that go "yep, videogames are kids toys, I love playing with toys, do you want to see my amiibo and yoshi plushie collection?"
It's absolutely mindboggling to me
>>340605210
The Wii U in itself is fine, there's nothing dissapointing about that or it's concept
It's the fucking support that's lacking
>We arent allowed to have hype for anything that looks good
I bet you'll say the same
>>340602994
I bought the Wii u for FExSMT and saw the game and took a pass on it.
>>340604768
2014 was the fucking year of AssCreed Unity, Watchdogs, Walking Dead season 2, Spacebase, The Master Chief Collection, Sonic Boom, and other shit storms. It was the worst year for vidya outside of Nintendo in a long time.
>>340605483
Difference between me and you is I didn't fucking buy a PS3 until after several price drops, and plenty of great games were available. I didn't give them my money or reward them for being fucking horrible at their job.
You, on the other hand, most likely have owned a WiiU since early release, if not day-one, and continue to post retarded shit like this >>340604936.

So? Zhe standards changed
Ps2 got games until 2008. Ps3 is still getting some in 2016. Wii U won't get anything past Zelda
The consumer expectations change. You can't charge 120 dollars for a game, just because they cost that much back in the SNES days
People see that Nintendo will cut support overnight and be forced to buy a new console, Playstation buyers see they are still being supported after almost ten years
>>340607865

Sure just sell the game 80 and the season pass 40.

It doesn't matter if it's shorter when games are taking longer to develop. The Wii Us library won't even beat the Gamecubs.

fun fact, most Sony nad Xbone user, are the casuals that only play the yearly CoD or Sport game all year long till the new one comes out next year. so yes, a console living out of the same game for years is OK
>>340605812
Playstation will be dead by then anon
>>340607498

>>340609107
I love the faulty argument that multiplats don't count as games, and that somehow, the Wii U having a trickling of exclusives over the course of two and a half years justifies it as being 'alive'.
Look at the amount of content just in a general sense being put out on either the PS4, Xbox, or PC (if you really want to be unfair), and then compare it to the Wii U.
It's a joke.
If you buy a PS4, you have access to the vast majority of games released during this generation cycle. You get a Wii U, and you get Nintendo games, many of which aren't exactly hitting it out of the ballpark. You mentioned Star Fox Zero of all things as being a killer app.
>>340609317
What the fuck?
You actually think anyone's jealous of your fucking outdated paperweight
That would make it even more shit. The fact that it's exclusive is the only reason you dipshits jerk off over it so much.
>>340609127
>there will never be a PS5

this is the reason why most multiplats are disregarded as games. cause the most best sellers are carbon copy yearly rehashes.
>>340609546
>You actually think anyone's jealous of your fucking outdated paperweight
Yes
>>340609234
Nintendo made money from their other operations, in spite of how much money the Wii U was losing. Nintendo is not in the home console business to eat up the profits from their other ventures.

The new Legend of #Zelda will be the focus of #E3 2016. It will launch simultaneously on both Wii U and NX in 2017
More #Nintendo apps are coming to smart devices, including Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing!
March 2017 the next generation of #Nintendo arrives! #NX
#E3 2016 will focus on The Legend of Zelda, launching simultaneously on both Wii U and NX in 2017
Nowhere does it say that Zelda U is the "only game" being shown at E3. They said it will be "the focus". What this means is that it's the main event, the one that's getting the most attention. There's nothing that says other games won't make an appearance or that the NX is a no-show. In fact, the NX's launch window was announced during these series of tweets related to E3. Of course it's going to be shown.
They even confirmed that Pokémon Sun and Moon are being shown on Wednesday, which discredits this entire "There's only one game being shown at E3" idea.
>Nintendo had a fucking amazing E3 presentation for 2014 (The presentation alone made me buy a Wii U)
>They completely and utterly shit the bed for E3 2015 making it an absolutely embarrassing to watch presentation

>>340609601
I'm not even sure if you're joking, or if you live in such a bubble, that you think some of the more warped opinions on /v/ are true.
I'm pretty sure Dark Souls isn't disregarded. Many people, whether you like them or not, do enjoy those yearly shooters. They're content. Games to play on your game system.
And boy oh boy when you are scraping fucking Star Fox Zero as being a pinnacle of quality, then that just says something about the sorry state of the Wii U.
I kinda assumed they meant they were going to show NX in their Direct, but it just wouldn't physically be on the E3 Showfloor
>>340609678
>>E3's in a couple of days and Nintendo has jack fucking shit
so far, they are the only ones not rushing out leaked trailers or shit.
>>340590476
The NX will most likely have the new big gimmick. The logical conclusion to make is VR. They can't really risk showing this off unfinished, as even the most hardcore nintendo fans will admit these last years Nintendo have been fucking up with their 1st party console games. Only exception being splatoon, which was made by a team of younger employees.
The gimmicks that started as fun ideas like the dual screen, are now becoming crutches that Nintendo use to justify how unoriginal their games are on the whole. I love Nintendo, but they need to fucking stop with the gimmicks. Starfox Zero was about as entertaining as giving my grandmother a rimjob. And now they are pulling the same stunt they did with Twilight Princess on the new Zelda game, most likely shoe horning the NX gimmick into it, delaying it.

Nintendo's not going to die, but if the NX is a failure it will probably be their last console. If that day comes, they will either put everything they've got into keeping their handhelds relevant in an age of micro-transaction-ridden phone games, or they will go multiplatform.

Very few games are marketed to children or even directed at children anymore because, believe it or not, children don't have any money to spend, making them literally worthless as customers.
Games are made to be as easy and accessible as possible to have a larger draw and therefore make more money.

>>340610628
It speaks volumes when it outsells Bloodborne and SFV
Because gaming media managed to spread misinformation about the Wii U at E3 where all they want is their asses kissed in every single way, (not that Nintendo did any better by only focusing in the control)
E3 is kinda dying and is basically dudebro central console war meme warfare, might as well reveal it at a time where they can't get any other company take some the spotlight and actually have everyone talking about it during that time and not about everyone, dunno if I'm explaining myself right here.
Also rumors and bullshit leaks are, right now, Nintendo's worst enemy.
We might get some teasing but not full reveal until E3 talk is down, maybe July reveal where there's no other news

That's funny how everyone ignore this. For me, it would be stupid to reveal the NX at E3.
>>340612582
>>340591892
shhhh. no logic, just shit post.
>>340592719
They are litteraly alone to make games for 2 consoles...Basically, they're fucked. The NX being a hybrid console ( handled & home console ) will probably be the best choice since they will be alone again to make games for it.

Dude, I have a PS4, you're falseflagging, or you are a pure retard. Bloodborne is great and the best game of the PS4, U4 is meh, and you know it, particullary if you platinum it like I did. The rest are just mediocre or shit, Gravity Rush remastered give me buyer remorse.

gravity rush remastered was almost goty material
>>340615206
I haven't played Uncharted 4 but it looks good.
Infamous Second Son is a solid 8.5, platinum'd it in like 34 hours, Gravity Rush Remastered is 8.75 though I'd give it more if it were longer and didn't leave so many plot strings untied. I platinumed it in maybe 20 hours.
Onechanbara Z2 is really fucking fun though the ps2-tier level textures mean I can't give it more than 8/8.25. You'd think with the incredible player models they could put a LITTLE bit of detail into the level textures.
Even games like Killzone Shadowfall, considered 'bad' are visually stunning but frustrating.
>>340614852
First off, the biggest games and announcements for Sony systems have almost always been 3rd party. No one looks at the PS1 and goes "yes Crash Bandicoot and Wild Arms were the best games of all time", they think of fucking FF7, SotN and MGS. Second, they had three massive titles that no one ever thought would see the light of day and was generally hype for anyone who isn't a massively jaded contrarian who wants to pretend Microsoft was somehow good with
>fucking Inafune game

nice buzzword, you know people only use that when they know the game is dogshit and they cant actually bring up reasons as to why it is good.
>>340611457
It's also way too easy, and there's almost no replayability to it.
Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed the game. It's just that entirety of the game is spamming the air kick or using the special that throws rocks everywhere. There's no real reason to do anything else.

OLD MEN RUNNING THE COMPANY
>>340617359
i'm a fucking NEET and I don't have time to play all my games
at this point I don't give a hoot about playtime
i usually like my games either casual or hard, nowhere in between. IE i enjoy bloodborne, hotline miami, binding of isaac, super meat boy, nuclear throne, but also easier shit like gravity rush.
games not meant to be hard being hard is just annoying as fuck, like in killzone shadowfall
it took me 240 hours to platinum fallout 4 and thats way too fucking long
>>340617368
It's not really so much Gravity Kick being OP as much as it being the only viable way to actually kill anything. Everything else just sucks really, really bad. You can't attack on the ground because enemies don't really get stunlocked and will just swarm you.
The ground combat is just reeeeeeeaaaaaally bad, is all. All you can do in the game is Gravity Kick shit over and over, then move out of the way when the other enemies come for you.
>>340617405

Holy shit same here, taking a sabatical and I have yet to finish more than 2 games, I blame my completionist OCD, I should just go and just enjoy Symphonia's story mode and be done with it to move on to Xillia
Same with KH HD and Xenoblade 3DS
>>340617368
>combat is fun
>decent flying
Now i just know you're a liar.
>>340617607
Come on anon, it wasn't that bad it as a good game that just happened to be overhyped
>>340617520
i liked to use ground combat every now and then just because it felt fluid and fun
but yeah i see your point. the main draw for me was just flying around and collecting everything.
i just really fucking liked it? it was good. and gravity rush 2 will be it with good graphics
if they made it actually hard it'd be annoying more than anything else, unless they really revamp the combat.
military outfit best
>>340617628
xenoblade 3DS is a fucking trip, anon. you'll enjoy it. just make sure to grind for the boss battle. i stopped for a week after losing my half hour because i was underleveled.
also don't buy xenoblade x - even if you don't get triggered by SJW bullshit the writing is god awful and the game has maybe 10 hours of story content, grinding besides that. if you do get it, get it pre-owned
>>340617631
the flying is really good once you get used to it. idk what problems you had with it, but i had few. actually felt like some of the best i've seen.
gravity rush kicking did get old after a while, but ground combat was good and there wasn't enough combat for it to get stale
>>340617687
Like I said earlier, I liked it, too. However, the combat is just the weakest part of the game in a game already filled with other flaws. It's fun to fly around, but there's nothing really to do other than collect Gems. And even that is kind of pointless because they give you way more than enough. Moreover, the Gems restock throughout the game, so the ones you collected just respawn eventually.
I like short, easy games, as well. Grew up playing Super Mario Bros. Gravity Daze just felt sort of shallow, is all. I can understand why since it was limited by being a Vita game, but I'm looking forward to the sequel a lot because, like you said, they can work with what they have and fix all the flaws.
>>340617839
>ground combat was good
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. You just mash square and do really weak kicks that take forever to kill even basic grunts. You can also do an incredibly weak jump kick with absolutely no range and no damage. It's just bad, man.
>>340617853
i had to grind for an hour or two to get enough gems to max all my powers, and then i found out there wasn't any achievement for doing so and i just felt like an idiot
i guess i just easily forgive games i enjoy? i was really pissed off by the ending and how defeating some random mayor stopped the navi invasion (and how they explained nothing about navis), but that wasn't enough to stop me from really liking it.
even xenoblade x i managed to tolerate for 90 hours before that confontation with fucking lao killed it for me entirely
Nintendo branded Tegra tablet with shitty mobile games.
Don't get your hopes up.
>>340617839
Oh I'm loving Xenoblade I'm currently stuck in Sword Valley, just need 2 levels more
I stopped playing for like 8 months after getting stuck in the High Entia Tomb boss

Do you actually get game overs? Every time I lose I just get back to some area before or outside of the boss range.

Saints Row 4
>>340614849
So what? That's not the same as dropping out of consoles. Now that both major consoles are X86-based they're becoming more and more like PCs. Traditional console generations are going to disappear eventually in favor of iterative updates.
>>340617942
if you upgrade them they do a ton of damage
i thought ground combat was pretty fluid. maybe not too deep, but it had solid animations and fluid dodging. though it took me like... 15 hours or something to realize you could hit high weak points by sliding and then kicking
>>340618068
you respawn at the start of the ending. i'd say get another 7-10 levels once you get the 'you can't go back' warning. there's those super high level enemies in the plains - you can try hunting those. that's what i did.
saints row 4 was fun but you don't actually fly? just jump around
and i think it was better than in gat out of hell because you could actually fly. once you're near the end-game you can just fly forever and recharge your gauge in a second of freefall.
>>340618191
You said "no PS5", then "no PS5" if we have just "PS4 NEO", "PS4 OMEGA", "PS4 DRAGON DILDO" etc..... I have no problem with it, consoles will probably kinda dissapear for "online service" anyway.
Serious question :
Do you prefer to see Nintendo die, or become a clone of Sony & Microsoft ? By clone, I mean Nintendo doing the exact same things at all level ( paid online, bullshots, pre rendered trailers for games 5 years before theirs eventual release, multiplats triple A with exclusive DLC etc... ), basically a PS4, at a point where they even kill their IPs to make new "mature", "Dude bro" ones.
>>340618760
i'd rather they just release games on the PS4
then i can have all my nintendo trophies alongside my sony trophies
but desu seeing idiots from 1996 predicting the n64 would sink was enough to convince me nintendo won't die

I don't understand.
Do you work for either nintendo or sony?
Why the fuck do you care how much money they make, or how much their competition make?
Why defend multi billion dollars companies that don't give a single shit wether you exist or not?
You realize that like every single big company in the world, they only care about you as a client right?
They only want your money.
And none of the bitching is going to change what games will be released on either system. So what's the point.
In my opinion, everyone in this thread is deeply disappointed with their purchase. If you weren't you would just play it instead of trying endlessly to prove that the competition is worse.
What are they going to show?
Mario? Smash bros? Zelda? Metroid? Wario Ware?

Nintendo is dead in the water. The next big normie thing is VR, and there's no way Nintendo can deliver on that front. They're already behind the rest of the pack (Steam/HTC, Samsung/Gear, PS/Morpheus etc).
>>340602848
>>340603863
But if this image is true it basically suggests that the NX will be around the level of the PS4 neo, though maybe a bit weaker. Polaris is good shit.
The advantage it has is that exclusives it has will be made specifically for it, rather than need to be compatible with someone just as strong as the weaker PS4 or Xbone.
>tfw people make fun of NX but it will still have the best exclusives like Wii U did
it's like people forget that the PS4 had like 2 worthwhile exclusives in it's first 2 years
>>340628329
>best exclusives
Most people just don't care about Nintendo first party titles anymore. If you're not interested in the most overrated action-adventure franchise in history (Zelda), a repetitive platformer (Mario) and a Newgrounds-tier game like Splatoon that didn't even launch with the ability to pick maps manually, then there's not much there for you.
>>340609896

>>340628432
Bayonetta, Wonderful 101, Smash, Pikmin, MonHun games etc.
And please, the most overrated action adventure franchise has now been passed to Uncharted
>>340628329
What the fuck is NX gonna have?
Zelda which may or may not turn out shit, Retro Studios' new project, possibly HD Metroid. The usual safe Mario fare
Then what? I bought a Wii U only to get burned by the end of its life and I don't wanna buy another console for three good games and then huge droughts of nothing until their next console drops.
>>340628537

Shitty party fighting game. No interest unless you're myopically attached to the characters therein.

Even fans of Platinum acknowledged it was disappointing.
>Uncharted
Nobody claims Uncharted is the best game ever with a straight face. Plenty of people claim OoT is the best game ever.
Nintendo fanboys just don't play games on other platforms, generally speaking. This is why their standards are so low. Many Zelda fans actually think the game has "lore" for example, lol.

Platinum has been teasing new stuff for Bayonetta fans since a bit after 2 came out. They've also teased it being another relationship with Nintendo.
I'd say 3 being an NX exclusive for 2017 is a high possibility.

>>340628747
>If you don't like Nintendo, you're a Sonygger!
It doesn't work that way. I've been playing games on all platforms (Acorn Archimides, Commodore, early PCs, Playstation, Dreamcast) for a long time. Unlike most Nintendo fans I have a wide range of experience and am not myopically attached to a single platform at the expense of others.
Now, Bloodbourne was a dark, depressing game about some fairly repugnant shit. Souls games have never sold well because they're orientated towards a niche. Nintendo games are more mass market in their appeal.
I'm not sure what your point about Uncharted is as 4 sold over 2 million in its first week.
>Nintendo always wins
The Wii U is stuck on 10 million units sold. The NX is being rushed out and will also fail to gain mass appeal. With the exception of the Wii, Nintendo consoles have been declining generation by generation in gross sales since the SNES days.
This isn't even talking about how impotent they are in competing with a smartphone and tablet market that's getting more powerful and competitive every day. The Gear sold 500k units alone, despite being called a proof of concept by Sammy. How do you think Nintendo are going to deal with more mass market orientated VR headsets for mobile devices?
They can't. The upper echelons of the company realize this which is why they're diversifying.

This is what you're telling yourself, but it's just sour grapes.
VR is formative technology at the moment. Stuff like the Gear and the Vive isn't meant to be breaking records in terms of sales figures, HTC and Samsung have said as much if you knew anything about business.
VR, at least in terms of mobile gaming, is going to be huge in the coming years. But hey, believe Nintendo fanboys instead, after all, their track record is excellent.

Who cares? /v/ is NintendoGAF.
>>340602493
Most of the JP library was arcade ports and dating games. Like for real.
Both systems had less than 200 games you could even call decent across their entire library, and even then the Saturn had far fewer exclusives and rarely reached the heights of Nintendo's first party offerings. The N64 tanked astronomically in Japan, but in terms of overall success and library it squashed the Saturn. Shit, despite the Dreamcast's relatively strong launch, the complete failure of the Saturn is largely responsible for Sega leaving console manufacturing.
>>340629319
>Who cares? /v/ is NintendoGAF.
Nice meme friend.
Is that why Nintendo gets the most hate threads on this board?
>>340629267
I'd love if the NX was a smartphone. It'd put Nintendo out of business faster than a new Wii U ever could.
>>340629386
>Is that why Nintendo gets the most hate threads on this board?
Objective proof where?
A majority of /v/ thinks the N64 won the 5th generation, hasn't played the original Deus Ex or Baldur's Gate 2, calls any game with firearms for "dudebros" etc.
It's basically like an army of Bob Chipmans.
>>340629537
That has nothing to do with Nintendo being the most hated company on here.
>>340602994
The worst part is the base idea -- that being "In the modern day, people act as muses to summon the incarnations of fallen warriors" -- was fucking great. The problem is the DeSur team LOVES shitty anime bullshit and just copied Persona with AIDORU CULTIA.
Imagine a game where demons invade modern society and you have to recruit rock stars, rappers, pop artists, DJs and folk musicians to combat the monsters with ghostly incarnations of the Fire Emblem cast.

Off the top of my head I've been playing:

Nintendo holds zero appeal for me. If you didn't grow up with the games they're literally worthless. Their entire appeal is a whimsical childhood nostalgia. That's it.

I own all 3 this gen and last gen and desu it's disappionting. Those games are fine on PC and sony and microsoft shit out a few garbage titles.
I loved Halo back when multiplayer was good, now it's garbage, I got hyped for uncharted, then played the games and was disappointed (1, 2 and 3 haven't played 4 yet) Gears of war was ok and playstation has had nearly 0 appeal to me. If I wasn't a sucker for destiny, I wouldn't have touched my ps4 outside of bloodborne.
Buying a non-Nintendo console is asking for console gaming to become shit.
>>340629773
What is wrong with a console having these games as long as they have other kinds of games as well?
The thing about Nintendo consoles is that they hold 0 appeal over people without a nostalgia boner for Nintendo. What an I supposed to play on a Wii U then? Just Bayo 2? Devil's turd? Lost Reavers?

Too be fair to Nintendo, it seems like a better idea to reveal your console when news is quiet and you basically have full attention of the media than try and compete with 2 other companies everyone knows very well Nintendo cannot compete with.
they want a surprise ya idiots
>>340591982
PS4 neo isn't going to be there.
NX isn't going to be there.
Good chance Scorpio isn't going to be there.
Please explain how E3 is not on its way to irrelevance.

>>340630794
I don't exactly rank w101 and Splatoon as outside Nintendo's comfort zone, but for the sake of argument, whatever. 3 more games, wow, stop the presses. We both know how sad the Wii U looks to anyone not invested in Nintendo IPs.
>>340602350
Nintendo said the same thing about HD graphics.
They don't know anything about what will or won't catch on.
>>340605562
Explain how video games aren't toys.
They both serve literally the same purpose. You can try to excuse your love for a time waster by saying "but it's like a toy for an adult!", but it's still a toy.
It's like calling dildos, vibrators etc. sex toys. They're toys, just for sexual things.
>>340590563
First post best post yet again.
>>340630239
I don't see how people like you can hail the likes of Zelda as masterpieces of video game design and then shit on other games for being easy, linear, basic etc.
There is nothing individually superlative about Zelda games. They are bog-standards, average action-adventure games. Nothing stands out about them.
The thing is, if you didn't grow up with Nintendo, their games may as well be worthless to you.
What the literal fuck is wrong with this board?
Do you delusional man children make so little money you can't afford more than one console so you have to literally sit and defend / attack fucking video game companies?
>>340631148
Wow, 3 more game than the PS4, and that's obviously while discounting all the other greath games avalaible because apparently them being staple of the genre is bad only if it's Nintendo!
I mean, it's fine if you don't like the games, but acting like your personnal faillings are the general feeling is pretty pathetic.
>>340602489
Star Fox isn't a big deal as the original games were also shit. Rogue Squadron, Freelancer, X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter and you have people thinking Shit Fox was any good to begin with?
lmao'ing at your lives nintendrones.

>>340631416
Is the alternative that they should be free of criticism?
>>340590476
They're pretty much worried. They know it'll be a train wreck so showing it at E3 would just amplify the reactions
>>340595163
Anon is wrong. Don't screencap this because it always happens this way
>>340631463
Hello there, it seems you are new to this site, as seen from your Nintendoomed post.
Can i recommend you to go to Neogaf? I fell it will be a much better fit for you.
>>340631514
Name a feature of Zelda games that is superlative?
The combat?
The puzzles?
The characters?
The story?
The world itself?
Don't make me laugh.
>>340631297
Are books toys? Are movies toys? Both of them waste time. What about radio, or music? They entertain and occasionally inform or convey a message or meaning but are otherwise frequently treated as a recreational material? But fuck any other value they may have, they're all toys now.
>>340631570
Criticism is not
"X WON, IT'S OVER YOU POOPIE BUTTHOLD SMELLY BIG STUPID HEADS"
"NEVER EVER HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"YOU BUTTPOOPERS ARE NOT AS GOOD AS US STUPID FACES LOL"

Not liking Nintendo is a "personal failing" now? Holy shit get that rotting Iwata cock out of your mouth dude. People have different tastes and the Wii U fails in the diversity chapter. Deal with it.

This has gotten us nowhere, and has spawned 30 bad games for every 1 good one.

>What exactly is Nintendo thinking?
With online media, E3 is irrelevant
As time goes on, Nintendo has made it clear that they just don't have much interest in traditional gaming journalism anymore.
The direct format has been extremely successful in delivering news without having to bother with a middleman, and they haven't even actually had real conferences at E3 in years. I imagine in a couple of months, we'll see them stream some big media blowout for the NX.
Whether Nintendo is doing well as a company or not is no longer relevant to their approach to E3. At this point, they're basically just showing up as a formality.
>>340631782
Nintendo is irrelevant at this stage mate. E3 is still the largest and most important trade show for gaming developers, hardware manufacturers and publishers, and that's a damn fact. No amount of bullshitting about Mario, Zelda and other garbage-tier games will change that.
>>340631339
FUCK I wrote up a whole thing and then accidentally deleted it.
Ok so I'm going to compare Uncharted with Zelda. It's not necessarily a fair comparison, but it works well for how I'm approaching it.
Uncharted and Zelda are both not overly difficult games and are quite linear, but well received nonetheless. Uncharted gives you some standard 3rd person shooter mechanics and gives you a small amount of weapons as you progress the game and a few climbing puzzles as you go along. All fine and enjoyable, but not overly interesting when you're just shooting the same guns at the same bad dudes in different places.
You can argue that Zelda is much the same, but I think an important mechanic that makes Zelda just that much better is that as you move through the world, you get given new tools for your arsenal. Each of these tools can be used in a certain way to solve a problem. Typically you'll get them from a dungeon and you'll need to use it in the dungeon and then ultimately to beat the boss at the end. This means that while you're still using much the same mechanics, you're given extra mechanics to make the game feel fresh and interesting.
Sure it's not the best comparison, but it's a good reason as to why I like Zelda much more than Uncharted. I enjoy both, but Zelda is far superior.

>>340631715
Nah, the personnal falling is to refuse to play good games because they are nintendo. There is a subtle difference that i'm sure you don,t have the brainpower to understand, but there is still a small chance that by some inordinate coincidence your 2 braincells actually collide while reading this.
>>340631675
Criticism is what you say it is.
Got it.
>>340631463
>Nintendo are fucked
Nintendo. Doomed since 1991
>>340631921
I don't think Uncharted is one of the best games ever made and neither do most people, even those who enjoy it.
Plenty of /v/irgins believe Zelda is the greatest franchise in video game history.
Protip: There's a reason gamer gurls love it so much. It is designed for casuals and normies.

On a per-unit manufacturing cost basis? Sure.
Factor in R&D, exclusivity deals, initial development and all the other associated costs of actually operating, developing and running your own hardware platform and it isn't.

Google Play and App Store blow 3DS sales out the water in terms of gaming. Get real.

>>340632007

Video game players aren't treated like children by people in other fields because of some ignorance about video games.
It's because many fucking are.
>>340632083
Again. All of that is irrelevant to the fact that E3 is the most important trade show for anyone with anything to do with video games.
>>340632063
>everything that isn't mario or Zelda is grey and brown!
Moviebob-tier argument.
>>340632175
I agree, in 2091 they might actually face doom.
I think they're going to do a big reveal a lot closer to release. Build up interest through speculation then hype it up before release.
They don't want to blow theirpossibly lastload too soon
>>340632009
>Designed for casuals and normies
Yes it absolutely is, but I'm inclined to agree that Zelda is one of the greatest franchises in video game history and I really think that OoT is the greatest game of all time, because we need to take into account when it was released.
When it was released, there was nothing else like it and it OoT hit it out of the park. Everything was almost too good to be true.
It was like if we got the game we get promised at E3 every year by whichever company.
As for gamer gurls, there's fuck all you can do about that. Ignoring it is really the only way to even try and stamp it out. Hopefully they'll catch on that sjws can't code for shit and always make some shitty "games" and eventually they get bored and fuck off.
>>340632102
Anon, are you implying that Nintendo are lying in their quarterly reports, which, if they did, would get them sued to oblivion?

I too can google when nintendo began as a company, but it wasn't until G&W days they even started doing anything with video games.

Have you played the original Deus Ex? Baldur's Gate 2? Thief?
>As for gamer gurls, there's fuck all you can do about that.
There's a reason they pick Zelda. It's normie, casual shit.
I mean you still haven't identified one thing Zelda does superlatively.
>>340632347
>lying
Cost-per-unit doesn't include all of the things I mentioned. You seem to just think all that's involved in making a console and delivering it is rolling it off the production line.
>>340632331
When casuals buy Sony games it's a problem, but when casuals buy Zelda it's inconsequential? Zelda is only popular because it's one of the easiest ways to nerd blackface yourself these days. Piss easy, non threatening games with just enough hardcore appeal for whatever reason.
>>340632405
No they aren't.
Gamescom is a consumer-centric event. Comparatively little is officially announced there.
TGS is important for the Japanese market, but they all turn up at E3 for the most part anyway.
>>340632574
You seem unable to understand how quarterly works, and how it show them profiting.
I mean, it's basic stuff, that my 8 years old brother would easily understand. But you seem unable to grasp it.
>>340632405
>TGS and Gamescom are both more relevant these days.
Dude. Only Microsoft held a conference at gamescom last year. And TGS is literally Sony's playground, Nintendo hasn't bothered showing up in a decade.

Here's a question an investor would ask, since you're clueless:

>>340632602
>sony games
What sony games? also casuals buy games like dark souls. Reddit is filled with that shit.
I agree that Zelda is made for everyone and thus easy enough for casuals, but the gameplay remains fun.
>>340632574
I've played Deus Ex, yes it's very good. I still think OoT is better for it's time.
I wasn't the one you're talking to about Zelda doing something Superlatively, but I would say that either the dungeons or the progression (the way you build your arsenal of weapons and tools, readying for the final boss) is top of it's game.
Also enemy design is pretty good. They aren't all just recolourings of the same enemy. Yes there's a bit of that, but you do get a variety of different enemies.
>>340591508
E3 is important for publishers to show their allegiance to constructors and the gamers audience.
Right now not a single publisher want to be too deep in Sony's shitlist since the PS4 is way ahead in sales, so the E3 is starting to be irrelevant. It's possible that it will "disappear" for one or two years again like when Nintendo was the one you didn't want to anger ten years ago.
>>340633121
>the way you build your arsenal of weapons and tools, readying for the final boss
There is nothing exceptional about Zelda here.
>enemy design
I can name 3 or 4 games that do it better.
>>340629097
I still cant find a physical copy of W101.
>>340633121
Why is it fine for Zelda to be casual oriented as long as it's fun, but not something like FIFA or COD? Why doesn't these count as games?
>>340591865
Then why the fuck did you make this thread If you already came up with your own answer?
>>340633298
Because muh "dudebros" who bullied me at school wahhhh
they give no fucks
>>340633264
Name games that you build up your items that does it better than zelda
and while you're at it, go ahead name your 3 or 4 games.
The fun part about this is I can be subjective like you and tell you that you're wrong.
I gave you what I reckon is a reasonable answer, but you seem overly defensive and dismissive.
>>340633043
>dat smug condescending attitude
>>340633079
Because they can control and manage our own publishing and quality and image better.
Mario will not be competing with Hipster Platformer 9000.
It diminishes the value of their brand if Mario is bowing rather than devs coming to the Mario console.
They also profit on their hardware.
Also theyve successfully distinguished their handheld from phone markets.
>>340633298
The issue is you're comparing traditionally multiplayer games with a single player game.
Also there's no way that you can say that CoD's or FIFA's yearly release is more unique than whatever Zelda game you're comparing it to.
>>340633501
>Mario will not be competing with Hipster Platformer 9000.
Funny thing is Ori & The Blind Forest is better than any Mario game I've played since 64.
>>340633079
Because the proprietary hardware and periferalscan be sold at a profit, the constant spec allow for easier game production ( and limit compatibility issues) and the constant hardware allow for manufacturing improvements that further reduce costs.
Also, if the exclusive library is strong enough then those interested will buy the console for it.
I'm willing to bet my left nut that if you released Nintendo games on the PS4 now they wouldn't sell much because those interested in them already bough ta WiiU for it and niggers only play CoD and Fifa anyway
>>340633501
>Also theyve successfully distinguished their handheld from phone markets.
How? Mobile gaming is growing, 3DS is down on where the DS was at this stage of its life cycle.
>make profit on the hardware
On a per unit basis only.

Yeah, i see that you were unable to even get through the first phase.
Oh well, i tried.
>>340633693
>those interested in them already bough ta WiiU for it and niggers only play CoD and Fifa anyway
Nintendo is the most normie company out there, its fanbase are the most normie. That's why it attracts so many girls.

>>340609586
If you've owned a vita, then you are objectively wrong.
>>340633847
Anon, i know this is 4chan and meme-ing is strong here, but you are being delusionnal here.
It's impossible to deny that Sony clinched the retarded normie ''my friend got it so i must too'' apple-like crowd. It's not even up to debate.
>>340632241
>E3 is the most important trade show for anyone with anything to do with video games.
You're missing the point. Trade shows, PERIOD, are becoming irrelevant to the gaming industry. Both the PS4 and Xbone were announced and shown off at private conferences outside of E3. The NX is almost certainly going to be announced during a private direct stream later this year.
At this point, E3 is basically just a big advertisement for Ubisoft and EA, and a chance for Sony and Microsoft to take some half-hearted potshots at each other. It's certainly not the media blowout it used to be before social media.
>>340634030
Why does Zelda attract the most gurl gamers by an overwhelming margin then?
Just look at retarded triforce tattoos.
Wish I could rape a girl with a triforce tattoo and nut on her whore face.
>>340634173
Its cute easy and nostalgic.
Also shota, child romance, light fantasy.
The only part of Zelda that doesnt directly cater to girls is no love triangle
>>340634173
Because it's a simple game with a bishounen hero, and it's very well known by virtue of having some of the best videogames of all times amongst them. Also does give them gamer cred.
Unless you wanna argue that there are litterally millions of zelda tattooed gril gamers that dwarf the 40 million of normie fuck who bought a PS4 because it was hip and their friend got one ( they certainly didn't buy them for games, that's for god damn sure).
>>340634368
Any girl with a Zelda tattoo is a whore.
Why are nintendo gamer girls such promiscuous cunts?

Have we been playing totally different Zelda games, or what? The last console Zelda literally lets you date someone else despite trying to play up the Link/Zelda relationship as hard as possible.

You do this in 90% of all games.
>>340634626
