raditts posted:Even the 3DS took about 2 years before it had anything worth a poo poo. Yeah, I remember that early period when all there was to play were N64 ports, and a Pilotwings tech demo. People always forget how barren the previous console launches were, since the PS4 and Xb1 have been so much better in comparison. At least there's a ton of cross-gen games to play, even if they're not exclusive. Ground Zeroes wasn't any less fun to play just because I could have played it on my PS3 at a much lower resolution and frame rate, plus it doesn't have the built-in recording that you could use to make this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMsQbk5tXhM

Unclear if these will be broadcast to the public (some Nintendo evening presentations aren't), but this was just announced:NintendoLife posted:Nintendo may not have a main stage E3 press event in its plans this year, but that does not mean it won't have any interesting presentations. A 90 minute presentation for one unannounced game, seems like a pretty significant card Nintendo's going to play. Not for their dying console of course!! For the one that actually makes money.

Is Miyamoto working on a new IP, or did I imagine that? That's what I'll hope it is, even though "Nintendo Figurine Crap" is way more likely.

Is there any game at all, or is it just a device to drain money from the parents' bank accounts so the kids can have disfigured toys of Crash and Spyro? Good for Nintendo if they can copy it and have some good news in their sales figures, but it's going to be like everything else they've done, where none of the good stuff ever comes out of Japan. There's bound to be some region locking, so if you ever wanted to use that Japanese figurine of Totakeke, you'll need a Japanese Wii U and a Japanese copy of the game to go with it. Viewtiful Jew posted:It's a Q&A session where the Zelda producers are presented fan theories on the world of Majora's Mask and give each individual theory either a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Thank God they released an official time line, to shut up the people who actually thought it mattered. I can't wait to see the reason why all the kids inside the moon resemble the Happy Mask Salesman. It'd be the Zelda equivalent of nanomachines.

Nintendo actually has been making new IP. The problem is, all said IP are either confined to digital downloads (Pushmo/Pullblox/Crashmo/Dropblox, Dillon's Rolling Western, Sakura Samurai, Rusty's Real Deal Baseball) or sell like month-old milk (The Wonderful 101). I suppose Steel Diver doesn't really fit into either of those niches, but that game is kinda awful, to my understanding.

Kirios posted:The Wii U has no games! Kirios posted:Look, the game was heavily criticized when it came out because it was too similar to the other inFAMOUS games. Like it or not it's a pretty accurate characterization of Second Son. Despite that it still has overall good reviews. Which means it is a good game but it was brought down because there was no innovation...just iteration. "The Ps4 isn't worth it cause all its games are just iterations on older franchises. Now let me tell you about the WiiU's amazing games, 2D Mario, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Mario Kart with no Battle Mode, and The Same Zelda Game Made In 2002.

I keep him around because occasionally he makes posts like this: Fulchrum posted:Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of the Dreamcasts established hardware versus the new hardware of the Ps2, but I was talking more in terms of gameplay. The Ps2 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached puzzle games. The Dreamcast gives us Chu Chu Rocket - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps2 gives us Ico. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

Honestly I don't know what we're really getting in video games this year because it sounds like 2014 is going to be full of HD remasters rather than original games, so I don't think anyone's going to be able to throw stones over "no games" at this point. Destiny, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Dragon Age 3 and Far Cry 4 are the only games that we know are coming out this year, and a lot of the E3 rumors are like.. Halo 2 HD, GTAV Remastered, Metro 2033 Remastered, not anything for 2014 that sounds super exciting. A clip show year. This is like that time we played Halo 2, Lois!!

Stuff announced by Nintendo will, but only because they literally subscribe to the Sega Saturn business model of "..AND IT'S OUT TODAY!!!" They announce stuff that's within 6 months but then talk very little about the future. Games are not hyped so much as they sneak attack. Last year though Nintendo really did not bring much to show other than to confirm the release dates of the games that we knew existed already. This year's a complete mystery. Microsoft typically announces titles that are at least a year off. Sony last year cushioned the announcements of titles a year off by also showing off a lot of indie titles that had much shorter development pipelines, and they'll probably do that again this year.

They've also got the first bit of gameplay footage for Uncharted 4, which, if we follow the typical Naughty Dog formula, will be out for the holidays.

A lot of people were really down on Super Mario 3D World being more like Super Mario 3D Land than Super Mario Galaxy (at least, until that game came out). Other people were miffed Retro was making another Donkey Kong Country game rather than another Metroid Prime (ignore that Returns sold more than all sales of the Prime trilogy combined - although I can empathize, I really want another Prime-esque game too). Pretty much everyone was miffed that the Direct was about as watchable as this.

Pixeltendo posted:Donkey kong, Mario 3D World, Mario kart 8, and the New Smash bros. weren't much to show? This year we're kind of flying in completely blind. The only titles on the release calendar from Nintendo after E3 are Smash Bros and Pokemon Art Academy. That's literally it. And I'm using literally correctly. First-party, that's all we know of. Second party, there's Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors, and again, literally, that's it for 2014. They're gonna show Zelda for Wii U, but it's set for 2015. X is not listed for 2014 on Nintendo's website so it also is likely for 2015. So Nintendo's 2014 calendar and E3 announcements are a complete mystery.

Speaking of HD remasters:Gamespot posted:We'd heard rumors before that Microsoft was working on an anniversary Edition of Halo 2, but it looks like the scope of Master Chief's revival is going to be quite a bit larger on Xbox One. Sources report that HD versions of Halo 1 through Halo 4 are coming to Microsoft's latest console with a Master Chief Edition. I don't even know how one could marathon their way through the Halo series. At what point does it all start to blur together and you forget who you are and what your purpose is in life.

That's true of every E3. Anything new announced is probably going to be shown as "coming soon" at the next E3. The PR campaign for unreleased games runs on cycles that last years. It's a really unhealthy way to run the industry but they've built their customer base around those players now.

So Nintendo's 2014 calendar and E3 announcements are a complete mystery. At least with Nintendo I can believe that they've got stuff for 2014 that they haven't announced yet. They haven't been doing as much of their "announce a product two months before releasing it" tricks lately as they've been trying to prop up the Wii U but keeping their projects really quiet until their done is their M.O. That said, I'll be shocked if they're keeping anything major for the end of the year hidden. The best they might pull out of their hat at E3 is a "Please pay attention to the Wii U" campaign.

Quest For Glory II posted:Well... it was the first time we saw M3DW, MK8, and Smash, but we did know about them already. The only thing is that people didn't know what type of 3D Mario we were getting, but we knew we were getting one by the end of the year. Mario Kart 8 at one point was expected to be a holiday 2013 title. Then you had Bayonetta 2 and X which were announced in 2012, and Wind Waker U which was announced in an earlier Nintendo Direct, and SMT/Fire Emblem was announced in an earlier Nintendo Direct. There's also titles we still haven't seen much of too, like Yarn Yoshi, SMT X Fire Emblem and maybe the Pokemon fighter if its a thing, but yeah a lot of unknowns, so it'll be interesting.
