The E3 2012 Discussion and Information Thread

Not bad, not great.

Horrible! Absolutely horrible! :evil:

I'll give you a Mii for Nintendo Land and your conference.

Why would I spend £300 for Mario Bros U - yet ANOTHER 2D Mario platformer - lazy Nintendo!

I have a 360 and so can get AS3 and Batman Arkham Aslyum on that - ZombiU looks boring.

Really not impressed I'm afraid!

lol so many are being burned by overhype. It was pretty boring, but I did like a number of games that they showed like Scribblenuats and ZombiU(providing its the actual game unlike the early Red Steel trailers) and Lego City looked good. Sepewrath

Their conference is still going on right now.

I don't know what to say. Mostly everything we saw is either already on the market or we already knew about it. Pikmin wasn't a surprise because we all pretty much expected that. Nintendo did a terrible job showing off the Wii U GamePad, from the demo's shown, the controller didn't add anything major to enhance the gameplay, just gimmicky crap. The only positive thing I can take away from this conference was that MiiVerse looks pretty nice . . . other than that, nothing. The least Nintendo could have done was show off a teaser for the next Zelda or 3D Mario, even if those games are years away, it would have somewhat saved the show. Nintendo has given me a reason to just go and buy a cheap PS3 or 360. As of now, I am only going to purchase the Wii U once the next Zelda or 3D Mario is released. Pikmin I could really care less about. robbob8888

I won't lie, I was slighty dissapointed. But I must say, Pikmin 3, looks GREAT. I want it now.

I'm not impressed and I think they spent far too much time on games we've seen (Batman, ACIII.) Nintendoland looks so cheesy.

Spike TV is going to be interviewing Reggie and he'll be bringing a mystery guest.

Yes, because then you have something to look forward to/purchasing.... not something that is already out. Foxi911

I am watching gametrailers and reggie says they are working on a game with platinumgames. Why the hell was that not in the presser?

I thought the overall show was decent. Though, it feels like they didn't show enough first-party games.

I'll try to have the OP fully updated by later today.

A look back on my predictions before the show: (Right inGREEN - Wrong inRED)

- 2D Mario is a launch day title (???)
- It's final name is New Super Mario World ("New Super Mario Bros. U", I should've known. :lol:.)
- More details about Nintendo Network, Miiverse and Wii U's digital store
- HD GameCube titles shown for the Wii U's VC

- Luigi's Mansion, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker shown as HD VC titles available at or near launch
- Wii U's achievement system is an evolution of 3DS's 'Play Coins' (Not even mentioned)
- A new Mii game announced that is based on the tech demos shown last year
- A new IP from Miyamoto shown / teased (At least Pikmin 3 looked nice, but I'm sad that they brought time limits back)
- Iwata drops the bomb / announces something big (Lol! He didn't even get on-stage)

I didn't expect any of my guesses to come true, but at least I got 2 right. :lol:

Platinum doesn't have a very big team, so either the game their making would be a ways off or its just Anarchy Reigns.

It already leaked. Cartoony Platinum Games title, but it looks like LKS. It might be great.Haziqonfire

[QUOTE="Foxi911"][QUOTE="Sepewrath"]
lol that makes no sense. You know it, I know, the next person that post knows; Mario and Zelda is coming out. So if your going to buy based on expectations, what's stopping you? Sepewrath

This Project P100 by Platinum games looks pretty solid. Why was this not shown at the presser? Had this been shown during the conference then the conference probably wouldn't have been recieved so badly; why? Because it's actually something NEW.robbob8888

Looks pretty cool otherwise. Can't say I'd be that interested in another Pikmin style game, but I suppose it could be worth checking out if more info is released.

Apparently Spike confirmed Pikmin 3 as a WiiU Launch title! YES!!!! Forget Mario or Zelda, if there's one game franchise that could get me to buy a console day one it's Pikmin

Not even the most diehard Nintendo fan could come away with anything but disappointment after that miserable excuse for an E3 presentation.

It was fail from beginning to end, and they would have been better off just canceling the damn show.

Who the **** thought that was going to impress anyone? Where is Zelda? I mean, a bad ass 1080p Zelda game would have probably been enough to save that Nintendo from that disaster...but they didn't even have the wits to show that.

Why would anyone buy a Wii U after today? Their PR people will have to work 24hrs a day just to undo the damage Nintendo did to themselves today...and then they have to work on hyping a brand new console.

Sorry Nintendo, but the Wii U may be the next Dreamcast...

The presentation was pretty bad... hopefully the 3DS presentation'll be better.

Where was zelda? Really. You'd have to have a giant dent in your head to expect a zedla game this morning.
