Why are you hyped? I love Nintendo, but I'm disappointed with them for the last year now.
I want them to present at E3. It's an industry standard. Stop trying to be so different. Make a spectacle. It's part of showing excitement for your lineup, which Nintendo doesn't seem to be.
On the Wii U front, I'd like:
- an announcement stating that they are going to maximize the VC. This would include additional consoles (like on the Wii, and then some), cross-buy functionality with the 3DS, and the promise of at least one game per virtual console weekly. Not one game, but one per console. So right now that would be at least one NES, SNES, and GBA game every week.
- I'd like to see a release calendar with at least one full Wii U game every month for the next year. So that would be at least 12 games between this E3 and next year's. And again, what I'm calling an actual, full game. Not a small eshop game for $10. Not another retro looking indie game. 12 "core" games.
- A system update removing the Wara Wara plaza. I'd like a more mainstream main menu that I can navigate with the controller. I'm ok if the Wara Wara plaza gets moved and you can still access it. But I don't want it as my main screen. It's pretty useless since you have to move it to the gamepad screen if you want to interact with it, and it bloats startup and app swapping.
- More variety in the genres. How the heck do we not have a strategy game on the Wii U?? It's got a touchscreen! Where is the Command and Conquer ripoff? Civilization, Sim City? Anything!! Where are the racing games?
Really, all I want is Nintendo to show us games. Core games. No vitality sensor. No more Wii Fit. At least not until they have a lot more games.
