I'm really not sure how I feel about Nintendo's e3 presentation this year. I mean I like FE and Xenoblade but there isn't anything else I am excited for from nintendo. I wanted a new paper mario game but I have mixed feeling about the cross over. I have no idea what to feel about the animal crossing game.

E3 tends to lose its edge when everything that's being revealed is already common knowledge.
People already knew about the new Fire Emblem and the new Xenoblade.

People knew a new Fallout game was incoming. It was time. It's been sometime since Skyrim was released, and a look at the history shows a pattern of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Elder Scrolls.

New Halo game? That's just par for the course at this point.

Why do you think the entire world lost their **** when the FFVII remake was announced? It was not expected. For God knows how long now, the word from Square in regards to this vaunted remake has been the same: "Maybe, Maybe not. We'll see. Perhaps. We want to do it, but we don't have the manpower. Or the money. Or we're focused on new titles. It would be a massive undertaking." In other words, nothing. All of a sudden, boom. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen: The long-awaited Final Fantasy VII remake. The Tokyo Stock Market closes and Square's stocks hit record highs not seen since 2008.

Everything about the Nintendo Press Conference was old (or in the case of the new Metroid game, unwelcome).

Someone once told me there are 4 types of news in the world:
Good news that you expect
Bad news that you expect
Bad news that you don't expect
And lastly, Good news that you don't expect.

It seems to me that Nintendo had none of the latter-most news: Good news that you don't expect. That tends to make things uninteresting. Square Enix had Good News that you weren't expecting, and they had it in spades.

My thoughts on Nintendo's E3:
-Star Fox Zero looks amazing!
-Fire Emblem: Fates looks fantastic and I am glad to hear the English voice acting! ...The release date is still a bummer.
-...At least we get Xenoblade Chronicles: X this December! YES!
-The new Zelda game looked... alright. Nothing to write home about.
-Hyrule Warriors 3D is definitely cool, but I don't feel compelled to get it. I am hoping that Tecmo will allow for an option to get the Wind Waker characters and costumes as DLC for the Wii U version.
-The AC party game trolled me. I thought we were going to get a new AC and we now have... Mario Party. Prepare to lose friends thanks to debt!
-LOL Metroid
-Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is by far one of the most hype announcements. Combining the unique worlds of these games is honestly intriguing. I will probably get this game, but for the love of god don't put in any stupid Stickers. Also, where the hell is Paper Luigi? You made him relevant in one game and tossed him aside in the next one. :(
-Mario Tennis? OK... wait... is that the things that you see on the floor in Mario Tennis 3D? No... no... NO!!!
-Using the amiibo in Mario Maker is really cool actually. I hope that I can use Shulk.

To be honest, I found the Digital Event to be... lacking. Very lacking. It started strong, but then it got pretty meh as time went on, with the occasional cool thing.

Besides the whole co-op thing, I didn't really see the PSO-ness in it....

Well not really part of the E3 announcements Mother was a pretty nice surprise. Maybe one day Reggie will give us Mother 3.

I honestly don't see what the issue is with two versions. Considering its only $15 to buy the other version, they would really need to only provide $15 of unique content to be worth it. Since its 5/6 of an entire story campaign that you get when you buy the second version, that's well worth it IMO. Then again, I am accustomed to story DLC being like 3-5 hours of content for $10-15, so this by comparison isn't as bad. Oh, and the base game is only $40 anyways, so still less than a new AAA game on any other system.

In case you didn't know, here is the price break down in Japan (converted into US dollars)

One version - $40
Digital Download of one version if you already own the other - $15
3ed Route DLC - $15

As someone who doesn't actually mind the DLC, I will say it feels counterproductive to have two versions when at the same time you want to attract new players to your franchise; it just comes off as an unnecessary barrier for entry which someone who isn't already a fan (and most likely wouldn't know about the DLC) would be put off buy.

Let's see, nintendo thoughts.
Star fox 0 by platinum is going to be my GoTy probably, yes even with xenoblade x and fallout 4, it's the love child of starfox 2 and 64 for gods sake, the difficulty's higher, the levels look more complicated and the multiple vehicles per level will give this game awesome replay value (it'll also be the best arcade shooter of the gen lol)

Xenoblade x looking nice as always.

FE: F is looking incredible outside the business model and renkas vocals being rerecorded for localization (dual audio like awakening pls). But we'll see if it's worth $55 on June 25.

Two mario RPGs collide, no comment only hype.

AC trolling.

Super mario makers gonna be amazing, we know nintendo, stop repeating yourself. Same for wooly world.

The metroid spinoff is probably going to be good if they keep revealing features and modes. Just not the game people wanted.( metroid for NX probably)


Pretty meh overall, despite nintendo having the strongest exclusive line up of the big 3 for 2015.

-Star Fox Zero may be the only Star Fox game I have legitimate interest towards and will seek out to buy.
-I'm skeptical over Triforce Heroes.
-I'm really impressed by the cinematic qualities of Fates. I figured this game would have the same level of flair as Awakening, but they really went all in with the atmosphere for this one.
-Was one of the few that was interested in SMTxFE from the start, and that hasn't changed yet. Kinda wish they start showing Mirage characters from FE games other than 1 or 13 though.
-I understand why they decided to stick the Meteoid logo on those two games, but I still disagree with it. They could have easily designated them as Starfox spin offs and people would have been even more hyped at the franchise expansion.
-Hate Animal Crossing with a passion, so this game does not affect me at all.
-Love M&L and Paper Mario with a passion, so this game affects me indescribably.
-I'll just go and say it: I do not like create-your-own games, so I've been so apathetic for Mario Maker since the beginning. Not even the World Championships did anything to sway my opinion. Meh.

Am I the only one who really hates the title "Fire Emblem: Fates"?

It sounds like the title of a mobile phone micro game...

Still calling it "If".

So the English names so far are.

Marx = Xander
Leon = Leo
Rinka = Rinkah
Suzukaze = Kaze
Ryouma = Ryoma

Kamui =/= Corrin
I've been spared

Is it? Cause by what I've been finding, Corrin/Corrine apparently means "Spear" or "Spear-bearer." Kinda odd considering it's Aqua who wields a spear.

that's a glorified stick not a spear

Never mind, it's not the default. Kotor just said it above.

oO Thought Corrin was a male name?
You people and your weird unisex names.

Like the other quoted post, there's also Corrine, but since it's not the default it's pointless now.

I literally laughed out loud. Though I also much prefer Marx over Xander, though I guess both names suit him in a sense that they're very formal.

I'm probably gonna remain calling him Marx, simply because I've gotten so used to him going by that name. :drifloon:

The original Famicom Magicant theme is the perfect acid trip song, holy ****, lol.

I'm amazed they went from this to THAT MAJESTY in Smash.

I have to say, I am a little dispointed with Nintendo at E3. I mean, yeah FE:Fates is really cool, the two Zelda games on 3ds look nice and all and Fire EmblemX Shin Megami Tensei is nice (except Chrom. What the hell did they do to him?!)

But I have to say I am a little let down. I really wanted Nintendo to show some Zelda Wii U stuff and also some more info about the next DLC characters come (Where's Wolf and Young Link)

*sigh*

I am just really sad at the moment :(
