tbh today's square isn't really bad other than the first two FF13's being bad and the first FF14 being so awful that square wiped it off the face of the earth. they should be on track again now that they've hopefully gotten over their massive HD growing pains. At the very least they're a decent publisher.

It was neither crummy or boring, it was just fine

the only really bad one was microsoft's because they pulled everything interesting out to save for Gamescom

I'm still undecided on whether sony's presentation was actually good or not

Sony's announcement was exciting, until you realized that Shenmue III is probably going to be terrible, FF7 as a remake is either going to be the best thing ever, or a disappointing cash-in, and The Last Guardian has been in development limbo for over five years, so who knows what's going on there.
As an aside, those first two are also going to be on PC, along with a lot of other high-profile games that both Sony and Microsoft showed off. Neither company really has much of an exclusive library beyond token FPS and/or third-person action game sequels.

Disclaimer, I own an Xbox one, and plan on also picking up a PS4 at some point. I enjoy games, so I buy all the systems so I can play them.

Yes, but I think there's this opinion that it hurt the brand in spite of being good, and that nintendo probably wants to distance themselves from it.

Which would mean no backwards compatibility, ever, for wii u titles.

I already planned on keeping my Wii U around anyway for being a very space efficient source for everything Wii U and back, considering the Wii OS is in the Wii U and the Wii OS is capable of... things.

This is correct. It is absolutely integral to the two best 'experiences' on the Wii U - Wii Fit U and Art Academy.

If I had a PS4 I'd be some nerd in my bedroom playing Witcher 3 all day. I have a Wii U and so am basically now an incredibly buff Leonardo Da Vinci.

On an unrelated note, I wish they had more Nintendo themed kids stuff. I just bought my daughter some World of Nintendo plush dolls off of Amazon, as it's the only place I can find the stuff. You can find Disney characters plastered on pretty much anything, but it's impossible to find a Princess Peach onesie that's not on etsy.

You can only squid jump to 4 places, so, D-pad?

You'd have to move the BOOYA button and the C'monYOU STUPID FUCKER WHAT ARE YOU DOING button somewhere, but the only real problem would be inkstrike. I guess you could have the map show up onscreen when you activate it, since you are helpless until you launch anyhow. The game is better as is, of course.


I love the gamepad, though.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the best thing coming out next year to be honest, that's being published by Square-Enix. Tomb Raider, and Just Cause 3 are published by Square as well.

Yeah, they woefully underuse the princesses in any kind of merch. We've found a Peach toothbrush, and that's about it. My daughter loves Peach to death but there's hardly anything representing her.

Hell I use my Beakons. I've been trying the Custom E-Litre and they're good as a backup if you leave a sniper spot to push with your team and it goes bad and you need to be back on a perch.

Though the Splat Charger's much faster charge is better for that kind of close support and the Kelp version's sprinkler is lovely in Turf Wars even though it lacks a panic button.

Chargers are underrated in Turf War I think, they're not going to match the score of an Aerospray but it only takes a few seconds to ink a corridor or a rectangular room and then you can get back to zipping around snapshotting people

Edit: Thought this was Splatoon thread for a second so I devoted more words than I should have to it

could someone explain why Nintendo should have to apologise for this years E3?

i watched it. They have the world champsionships and super mario maker. they also showed off a ton of games coming out this year.

no one else did. no one else had tangible products. what the heck are they apologising for, unless its for being the best.

Probably the stupid amount of backlash over Federation Force existing and the new Star Fox having better graphics than the previous iterations (but not good enough apparently).

People are very loud on social media about games they don't like

I can't tell you how many times just perching in the center and holding there has kept my team from being defeated in the last 20 seconds. Pushing into enemy territory is smart, but when you're whole team overreaches and gets splatted, the Bad Guys can do a lot in 20 seconds to make up that ground unopposed.

i just find it confusing. Nintendo's stuff was stellar. the NWC alone was so much ridiculous fun. then they properly showed off Game of the Decade Super Mario Maker and I couldnt believe it. then release dates for games coming out this year.

what the heck did the others do? it boiled down to "please believe these videos are indicative of final products due out at some point we dont know when lol"

Nintendo's stuff WAS great, it's just that because one of the games being a spinoff and not a new property caused huge numbers of people to bitch and sign petitions to cancel it and stuff, and I think Nintendo is just really puzzled over it and apologizing is all they can think of.

I think it depends on the map, I can see that in Mall, Depot, and Underpass easily but you can be nightmarish with one of the faster chargers at close-ish range on Port or Skatepark.

Skatepark's great as a charger. You can lockdown the right lane on the enemy's side, and just mess around in their turf. I love blasting in and unleashing Bomb's Away.

People are complaining because there were no big new games for the Wii U that have not been previously announced. It's quite easy to understand. They chose to go in a different direction and show stuff we already knew about. Fine. But that leads people to suspect that they are working on things for the NX and the Wii U won't see too many major new games, and that made them sad.

EDIT: The world championships were amazing though and better than any of the company conferences. I hope Nintendo actually makes it a proper world championship however because it seemed very small scale.
