E3 2011

[Eternal Yoshi]

So it's not the spiritual Sega CD? I guess that's an improvement.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I'm wondering if SSB4 will be like Brawl or back like Melee. Regardless I think it is nice they'll put it on a portable console. Looking at the new console, it isn't bad looking at all.

 

[UberMario]

I believe that Nintendo delivered everything that we wanted. Hardcore games, at least PS3-caliber graphics minimum, a new and innovative controller/tablet, significant 3rd party support, and awesome 1st/2nd titles.

The only downside is the system name . . . . . . .

 

[Enzo]

Oh wellz did anyone catch that Zelda game on the Wii-U (note the dark shading, defnitely not skyward sword)

 

[finalark]

Wii-u is as much a console as the Sega 32X and Sega CD was people.

I have to agree with this. I'm not buying into it. They did nothing but showed it being used alongside Wii controllers and accessories. The focus was entirely on the controller, without a single idea of what the console will look like or its specs in sight.

 

[Mic_128]

Don't tell me that I missed this?

**** man, why the hell did outsiders invade my bus today? I would've gotten home earlier to see this. **** man, this was the only thing I wanted to see all year and I missed it because other people invaded my bus

And then I find a stream on my phone which stops working right when Reggie announced the new Mario Kart

Can someone tell me what happened this conference after that?

Honestly, just wait til you get home and look it up on youtube.

Wii U Wii U Wii U....


sounds like a siren.

I rofl'd hard

 

[BSP]

SSB4 awaits us

And luigi's mansion 2, yes!

 

[WoodyWiggins]

That controller looks a bit cumbersome. . .

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I honestly want Smash 4 to hark back to Smash 64's physics but w/e.

It has an SD card slot?

*FF2 Emperor laughter*

That controller is a prototype BTW, like the Boomerang PS3 controller of 2006.

 

[Mike2]

ragers gonna have to think twice before they throw that controller

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

Way to go Nintendo, you gave us an iPad with buttons.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I can't get used to the bulky controllers. Then when I hold smaller controllers like a Wii classic remote or the PS3 remote it feels different.

Will buy the console just for the new Smash, but the question is if it will be worth it overall for other games. I want a mix of hardcore and (good) casual games, not just one or the other.

@UberMario: You pretty much have my positive. That said, I'll need to review all three conferences again. And yes, the name does kind of suck, but then again, people may have said the same thing about the SNES if it was revealed today.

 

[Ecks]

Was I the only one who thought that the graphics don't look as good as PS3 and 360?

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Yup. Is that Wii-u backwards compatible with GC games? It should be.

 

[the melon!!!!!]

I really don't think that Nintendo was ready to reveal this, if it wasn't for the leaks I think the WiiU would've had maybe 10 minutes of face time at most in the presentation. Otherwise, the conference could've been worse (Microsoft last year). Everything announced will make next year's presentation sick!


Also, the new Mario Kart looked legit. :D

 

[finalark]

Hold up, it looks like IGN has pictures of what the actual console looks like.

Batman Arcame City and Assassins Creed for a start shows it's gettin some real hardcore love for a change.

**** SON

[Gamegenie222]

So how's that Wii U folks?

[Eternal Yoshi]

Prototpe controller is prototype.

 

[theeboredone]

Looks like a mix between 360 and Wii.

 

[MK26]

http://e3.nintendo.com/ has more stuff going on

maybe

 

[BSP]

It's a box

it must be stronger

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

It is still kinda difficult to tell how big that console is laying like that.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

The lack of a hard drive really sucks.

I wish that fact was a prototype.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Agreed.

I can't be the only one who was impressed with the controller...

 

[finalark]

Its sad that I had to go to IGN just to find a picture of what the ****ing console looks like for me to believe it's not a Wii attachment.

 

[MK26]

if thats the disc slot thenn it looks like iits pretty small lol

edit: the presentation is replaying for everybody who missed it

RIGHT NOW

Let's just hope the next installment gets a bit of it's hardcore roots, casual gaming is fine, but competative is what's gonna reay take the series even further.

Lol at the guy rushing home

Batman Arcame City and Assassins Creed for a start shows it's gettin some real hardcore love for a change.

I see that, but I think people's main problem with the Wii-U aside from the name is that the hardware was not revealed and that there weren't really many confirmed Nintendo games (Only Smash 4 IIRC).

 

[Ryu Shimazu]

It seems that Nintendo set up for a good E3 this year [Catching up], So that's 3 year streak of decency for them. Well, except 1 and 3 of the streak are/will be epic wins.

Sony won thier year, though.

Predicting a laggy SSB4

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

It's just too early to tell what this new console can do. Plus with all the time they can work on it they can add new features and software to it.

And prays it won't like as laggy. Brawl is bad with lag.......

 

[Smooth Criminal]

SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Smooth Criminal

 

[OmegaXXII]

Guys check out the Nintendo Channel on your Wii's

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

I really hope they consider a hard drive.

Predicting a laggy SSB4

Why so? They claim to improve their online so Smash 4's online won't be as bad.

Therefore E3 sucked for nintendo
