Cheeksqueak is one of my favorite but Robonyan is my favorite one out of all them. There's also Yokai who makes people want to go to the bathroom, a Yokai who brings out the truth out of people, and legendary Yokai too (Though you'll be surprised what the Yokai actually are, I'm not giving it away.)

In hindsight, Nintendo's E3 wasn't as horrendous as I thought it would be.

I did enjoy the new DLC they put out for Smash plus EarthBound: Beginnings is one of my favorite video game announcements ever. Plus Star Fox Zero looks great and I might get Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam as well. I just wished they hadn't split the two best announcements in my book before the Digital Event; I probably wouldn't have reacted so badly.

It's obviously not good, but I feel it's better than E3 2012 all things considered.
I still see little reason to buy a PS4, personally. Maybe it'll get there for me eventually, but the only actual PS4 exclusive you mentioned was Last Guardian, and what I have seen out of that game has not impressed me.

Still waiting on the eventual slim, as well.
We'll have to agree to disagree there. Before yesterday I would have been there with you all the way, but since I have no current plans on gaming on PC (nor do I feel like spending the money for it yet), a PS4 is the only way I'll be able to experience The Last Guardian, Shenmue III, and FFVII Remake. These games really do hype me and I look forward to playing all three of them although it probably helps I just bought myself another PS2 for the first time in a decade.

Now this is just melo-drama at it's finest.
I love Nintendo's IPs more than most people and even I find this to be very sad (depending on circumstances of course).

Isn't there usually an unstreamed developer roundtable? Has Nintendo announced such a thing so far?

Like I said earlier, I would be pretty tempted to buy a PS4 if I didn't have a half way decent PC. As it is, though, Sony still needs to do a bit more to convince me.

So two things.

Glad everyone is calming down after the Nintendo is doomed thing. That attitude is draining and doesn't do anything. Plus there really was some nice stuff. It's just average leaning towards bad.

And what happened to Retro? Didn't they confirm we were getting something?

That makes no sense considering Mickey is nowhere near Wreck-It-Ralph at all.
Well pretty sure Micky had Arcade games, so him and Mario meeting in the sequel wouldn't be all that weird

And I'm only thinking that they're alluding to Wreck-it-Ralph 2, because the creators mentioned wanted to have Mario and Luigi in the game, but couldn't think of a role for them

I may have posted that "Mickey Brushes Up!" thing, but I seriously do not want it...
If Disney bought Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft fanboys would be laughing their butts off
and Rosalina would probably appear in a Frozen movie
This also makes no sense.

Outside of KH and Infinity in video games. The properties that Disney owns and buys never cross over.

They also leave the companies they buy alone because the reason they even bought them in the first place was they were liking what they were doing.

Honestly, being bought out byy Disney isn't as foreboding as the internet likes to make it out to be. This stigma only comes from the fact Disney is percieved as a childish for making animated movies.

The same thing and b.s. that people throw at Nintendo, honestly.

they at least linked to the nintendo e3 page and hinted at stuff. i haven't heard about any sort of roundtable or anything... maybe they delayed its announcement for whatever reason?

that being a coincidence is definitely possible
copyrights are renewed all the time. nintendo's still hanging onto eternal darkness, even

"If Disney has its way, Mario, Link, Pikachu, or any one of Nintendo's recognizable characters could join the equally recognizable roster of Disney characters for a crossover that would be a dream come true for many."

Imagine that.
All of Nintendo's franchises.
All of Disney's.
Star wars.
Marvel.
God I couldn't handle that.

Mind you wreck it Ralph 2 is still a thing.:4mario:
I think.......

Hey....why didn't Nintendo just roll the June 1st Direct into E3? I'd rather have seen Dr. Mario Miracle Cure, Chibi Robo, and all the other things that debuted in that Direct rather then 10 minutes of Yoshi or terrible Mario dancing.

I also laugh at the ''OH NO! DISNEY" fear that sets in about Disney buying people when you think about how a majority of the movies made by Marvel after being bought out by Disney are the better reviewed and financially successful films in their cinematic universe.

I have no idea but this shocked me. I though we were going to get a DKCR3/Diddy Kong Racing 2 game announced from them. Something tells me this got pushed to the NX.

Retro teased something at E3, Ubisoft promised big things for Rayman's anniversary, etc.

That's more where my disappointment came from. Star Fox Zero looks absolutely amazing though.

Speaking of Star Fox, I keep seeing terrible reactions to his new look and I'm just confused. Must be some kind of cycle.

I like that this is marked as "official E3 trailer" on Nintendo's YouTube. Pretty sure it wasn't in the event, lol.

I think it's the boxart more than anything. But he looks fine in-game.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if there was a closed doors thing for Nintendo or anyone we'd have heard about it already right?

I know we already knew about the one where Pac Man was revealed before it happened.

If Disney bought Nintendo and Nintendo remained in the hardware business, they would finally have enough money to make a loss leading console with graphics equal to or greater than those found on MS and Sony systems. They would also likely have exclusive rights to classic Disney characters, Marvel characters, and Star Wars characters.

....I don't think anybody would be laughing very long after realizing that.

SFZ is directly inspired by SF2 and 64, so the box art was a nice call back to that.

Also Sony confirms they're directly involved in Shenmue 3's development, the kickstarter was just a way to gauge interest to see if fans were really serious about wanting it. Going past the 2 million mark in less than 24 hours convinced them. (Go to 57:08 for the confirmation)

Shenmue 1 and 2 have massively gone up price since 3's announcement too. With 2 going from $10-20 dollars to $40 and rising, and 1 being around $130 on Amazon.

Fatal Frame is love, Fatal Frame is life. I'm so glad they gave it some attention even though it wasn't in the event, and that they're bringing it here <3

The Smash Bros. Roster would be such a cluster**** of random and awesome.

They can always pull a Wii Fit and just reveal something on the show floor.

That picture was the first image I saw of him and I thought it looked amazing.

[collapse=]
Then I saw this and was completely blown away. I still see people calling it creepy but I can't even comprehend that.

Seriously, can we mod Smash 4 already and stick this model on Fox? Can we get the voice too? Please?
[/collapse]
He looks really good in-game too. The whole game just looks great, maybe even the best on the Wii U.

I'm actually going to pre-order Mario Maker.

Like I'm really apathetic about 2D Mario but the amount of options they give you is unreal, I can see it being a really fun game.
