That's pretty much the only way Nintendo will likely "hear" any message anyone tries to send. Even in Japan, years of one-star reviews on amazon.jp have probably given them an apathy towards user ratings and like/dislike ratios.

Current Nintendo has two settings:
-Announce a year or less before planned release (Fire Emblem Fates, Starfox 0)
-Announce before work has actually started on the game (#FE)

Or over 18 months in advance like Woolly World, Xenoblade X, Bayo 2 and Starfox 0.

Right now the best bet for the Rare game is when you least expect it. Just one day you'll go home, find out there was a direct and it turns out the next Rare game comes out next month or something. This could happen in January, could happen in a couple of weeks you don't know.

I bought a Wii U on the strength of their E3 presentation last year, so I was pretty hyped up for this year's digital event.

Last year, they announced:

- Zelda Wii U
- Star Fox
- Splatoon
- Kirby Rainbow Curse
- Mario Maker
- Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
- Mario Party 10

But what Wii U games did they announce this year?

- Animal Crossing Festival
- Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

Oh and it turns out the promising open world RPG about big robots and discovering alien vistas a lot of people were hyped for is still six months away, but it doesn't matter anyway because it apparently revolves entirely around fetch quests.

Colour me disappointed.

Why, in all of JRPG-ness, is THIS ONE GAME being criticized for having a lot of fetch quests. Like did these same people not play Xenoblade Chronicles and every other JRPG ever made? What were people expecting?

Remember one of the few things they didn't announce last E3 that fans kept kept crying to them on Twitter about was a Majora's Mask remake? And then suddenly we got one in the span of like four months from the time it was announced in a direct to release.

I was amused once they revealed Blastball was also Metroid and that Next Level was behind it. They've graduated from Mario Soccer and ended up with...Metroid Soccer!

And not exclusive or anything, but Rive is pretty awesome, it's one of the E3 preview demos that's up right now. I think I'd prefer a remote aiming control scheme though.

Rare only makes Kinect games now.

Anyway, I just watched the direct itself and it was a really weird E3 conference in regards to the WiiU at least, because all the games they showed for it were basically going to be released by the end of the year. Which is kind of out-of-place because E3 is all about hyping up games that'll come out next year, or maybe the year after that. So it was rather strange.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by the Wii U upcoming games except for the fact that Super Mario Maker is the game I'm most excited for out of E3. The Nintendo Direct did a pretty terrible job of showing it off though.

I'm trying to think of new games announced... WiiU: Mario Tennis, so what. Animal Crossing Board, horrible poo poo.

3DS: Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam (awesome). Fisher Price Halo: Metroid Edition (Metroids and Samus not included)

I think that was it. I'm pretty sure those were the only announcements, and all of them less than a minute long trailer in a 51 minute show.

Edit: And Zelda 3 Swords which looked pretty sweet.

How fast will these sound effects get annoying when creating a level?

I am also surprised that the game has a big hand over the screen. I thought that was just for demo purposes. Maybe you can turn it off, because it was a cat paw in the presentation today.

Super Mario Maker posted:

The game's online section allows you to dig through new levels at your discretion; a recommendation system is split into several categories that include featured, ranked or "up and coming" levels.

In the featured section, players will find levels selected by Nintendo itself. The ranked section highlights the top-rated levels, while up and coming pushes lesser played levels in an effort to encourage new players. If you find creators you're fond of, you can check out their personal preferences or subscribe to get updates on new work. Levels are also sorted by their difficulty, a merit which is determined by what percentage of players have successfully cleared a level.

That's pretty cool.

I imagine that the hand that shows up on screen is really more for demo purposes at E3, so others can see what the person would be seeing. I can't imagine that'll be actually in the full game. Also I don't think the sound effects will be that annoying. You can always turn the volume down

The only issue I can see with that is that levels that suck may be rated as difficult because nobody WANTS to finish them. Of course, they'll probably also receive poor ratings to complement that, so it may not be a problem.

Yes, yes, no, they're just skins as far as I can tell

So far I think we've seen Link, Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and Isabelle.
