E3 2011

[Eternal Yoshi]

E3 didn't suck for Ninty.

They just didn't output enough info about the Wii-u.

 

[theeboredone]

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

He's talking about in regards to playing it in HD.

Usually for the new consoles they usually or should explain the differences of these new ones and improvements over the older models. At least that is what I would think they would do.

 

[The Real Gamer]

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.

This.

Once we get more detail on the console and SSB4 + a bunch of other hardcore games are announced for it everyone will be sold on it I'll bet money.

oh my god that was bad

I imagine more details will be released next E3 2012. This year was selling the 3DS and giving people something to drool on for next year.

Am I the only one really hyped for this? Nintendo has a habit of doing things that look really bad on paper but work out in practice. WiiU actually looks pretty decent on paper IMO, so.... what TRG said.

Yay Mario Party 9 :D.

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.

Because of the interaction between the 3DS and the WiiU.

 

[LivewiresXe]

I have to admit, as cool as the Wii U looks, I'm probably not going to pick it up.

 

[N64]

Saw new controller/console. Holy crap I hope some FF:Chrystal Chronicle copies spring up utilizing it. And I can't wait to see what else they do with it. Inventory management on controller display? Yessssss. Throwing shurikans off my controller? Sweeeeet. So many possibilities.

It makes the kid in me go weeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuu :D

 

[OmegaXXII]

I really hope they consider a hard drive.

I doubt it, even if they do consider it, it might just be "another attachment"

Not sure how this was a bad conference. A few things did bother me about it, but I think it was a very good show on their behalf.

Nope, I am as well. Others will be too once more games get revealed and it seems as Nintendo aren't backing out on their promise to deliver more core experiences this time around.

Looking at the new console from its front. I won't assume it can't do this or that because we only see the front. We haven't seen the sides or the back to see if has any slots or something to fit a hard drive or anything else.

I don't know how SSB4 would handle as far 3DS and WiiU but if they fixed their online modes that is all I hope for. I don't mind playing with randoms but 2 minute always BB and TB......?

Cool, Mario Party and Kirby.

Mario Party better have online. Seriously. >_>

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

It could be worse.

Wait, too small for GC controllers?

We need moar pictures.

 

[finalark]

I second this statement.

Also, no GC controller ports, I noticed.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I do remember a while again people were complaining and wanting Mario Parties to be online. I have high hopes for Kirby Mass Attack. I love Kirby games.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Mario Party with a good online actually sounds like a lot of fun! :o

My only real concern about the controller is its size. Hopefully it isn't too big. I <3 screen idea though.

Playing the upcoming Zelda in bed under the covers with all of the lights off? Yes please.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Could the GC ports be on another side?

 

[Ecks]

No backwards for gamecube? ;_;

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

That's what I fear.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Oh Lord, no GC ports?



I'm screwed. Guess it's time to adapt.

[finalark]

Could the GC ports be on another side?

Well, there's that flap in the front. We don't know what's under it so there could be GC ports there.

 

[MK26]

they didnt mention gc backward compatibility i think

classic controllers are the way of the future :$

(rewatching it on e3.nintendo.com right now btw)

 

[ZMan]

No backwards for gamecube? ;_;

i'm thinking they might be dlc titles. but without an internal hard drive, i don't see that being a possibility.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

...if I even pick up this damned system, which is highly unlikely.

They said that DLC will be possible. How can there be that with no internal hard drive?

 

[ZIO]

I honestly think Sony and Nintendo's conference were about the same.

I mean, they announced a new console, but really didn't get every thing (such as the actual console?) out there. Plus, they confirmed alot of what we already knew (Mario Kart for 3DS? Didn't think of that for sure) and showed us a ton of things we already saw (AKA Kid Icarus. And announced, like, something we didn't expect (Luigi's mansion 2).

They didn't even really address the 3DS price point. So, unless they really trick out the 3DS in some way - the Vita may just end up taking the market for the holiday season.

This thread is moving so fast that it's hard to be first. lol

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

We saw more of the Vita than the Wii-u and we have a price and estimated release date.

This might be the end of GC compatibility....

 

[Gamegenie222]

Guess I better start playing real fighters then.

 

[MK26]

if you try to shorten the new console's name you pronounce it double-u-u

iunno whether thats funny or not

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Guess I better start playing real fighters then.

Then I'll return to playing exclusively 1-player games.

 

[finalark]

It looks like Sony learned from their mistakes with the PSP, if their Vita presentation proved anything.

I'll probably wait about a year to see if I think the Wii U is worth getting.

 

[Ecks]

What about my windwaker in hd nintendo?????????

 

[ZMan]

i have no idea. sd cards or external hard drives maybe?

so far i am not sold on wii u. unless dreamcast & saturn emulation is possible i'll pass on wii u.
