You're splitting hairs.

Exactly, or properly port the engine over to make development easier if they still want to do different ones.

Basically, the handheld and home console will be brothers. They'll have similar hardware architecture, same OS but different specs. Developers can easily share engines/assets across both platforms, account etc. works across both, some games can be on both if the developers choose but there can be games exclusive on one. It's like with iOS. iPhone and iPad are both devices with similar architecture/different specs. Many games are shared across both devices, but there are exclusives.

Pretty much because that's what Iwata said :p

One of my issues is with the people who were complaining about "We know about this game" for Nintendo stuff, yet Halo 5 has had its 3rd E3, Uncharted 4 has had its second among countless others and they weren't vocal at that. They're still upcoming games and deserve as much attention as the rest. This is part of the mentality I was referring to earlier. I don't try to defend Nintendo no matter what. This Digital Event, I won't defend. What I can do, however, is explain or try to find reasons for it sucking. That's not me defending, that's me trying to create logical reasons for it to suck rather than jumping on the "hurr durrr Nintendo suck" train on the Internet right now. There's also the fact that my vocational future is directly linked to Nintendo's future. If they fail, I'm fucked.

The conferences are meant to set up the stuff that they are showing on the show floor, including reveals. Funnily enough, that's exactly what Nintendo did. Was their new content disappointing? Yes, it wasn't what we were hoping, however that doesn't mean they're "doing E3 wrong" or anything. It is a bit sad that people seem to think it's all the conferences.

Then most people are incorrect in what E3 is. It doesn't matter if they "don't care", it's what it is and should be treated by people as such.

There was never going to be a mass onslaught of New 3DS exclusive titles. That'd segment the market and they'd not want to do that. What there will be are a plethora of New 3DS enhanced titles. It's the exact same scenario as it was with the DSi

I think part of it is because you think and he think it's a "new console". It's not. It's just a new model of 3DS and to segment the market too often would be damaging. It is still a 3DS, not a new device.

To you, yes, because you're not attending. E3 is a trade show above all else and people keep forgetting that, and you're proving it here. But yeah, agree to disagree.

E3 isn't meant to be about "hype" though. It's a trade show. It's only about "hype" because of the people at home who can't go and experience the actual show, and so people incorrectly assume that it's all about the conferences. Yes, the conferences are a big part of it, but it's not the be-all and end-all. Look at Sony's. While they did reveal a load of fan pleasing things (some of which have sparked a little hitback over the past few days with them now saying they can't commit to 2016 for TLG etc.), what of those things were actually on the show floor? Again, I'm not saying Nintendo didn't mess up with the Digital Event, I'm saying that E3 is more than that and people need to stop thinking that the conferences are E3. It's the same crap we had 2 years ago when people insisted Nintendo weren't attending E3 because they weren't doing a conference. People need to drop this mentality, it's detrimental to the industry. You missed out with Treehouse Live, though, they sold Starfox, Metroid etc. far better than the Digital Event did.

What annoys me is when the entire team leaves our entire base area untouched. Ah well, more points for me.

Amount of enemies on screen at once is likely to be the thing that takes the hit

The issue is with the mentality towards E3. Many people, including some journalists (such as an idiot on GamesIndustry.biz), think E3 is "all about the hype" and the conferences, and because Nintendo didn't meet that with their Digital Event, they shouldn't bother, they failed etc., but what they forget is that the conferences are just a small part of E3. Yeah, they're announcing big things most of the time, but that's not what E3 is. E3 is a trade show above all else. With this mentality, E3 is a bit of a dinosaur. In this age of streaming, social media etc., having one event where all the megatons are revealed is a massively antiquated notion (yes, MS and Sony use Gamescom and PSX, but they don't actually have huge reveals there. They detail things, date things, show some minor projects but they never have the big hitters revealed), and then trashing a company if they don't do it, even when they have at least 5 other massive reveal points where even the biggest titles sometimes get revealed or heavily detailed, is beyond ridiculous. The toxicity that has come out of this E3 has made me be ashamed to be a gaming enthusiast, and a Nintendo fan. I understand the disappointment in the Digital Event, I truly do, but the overblown reaction has been disgusting. Nintendo had a decent E3 overall. They started fantastically, had their dodgy Digital Event and then they had the busiest booth on the floor and Treehouse Live almost consistently still beat out stream viewing numbers for all others except the main Twitch feed. They had a decent E3, not because they showed games that are years away or placated to fan demand, but because they are trying to make E3 be something beyond the conference to the general public, like it is meant to be.

Oh screw off. I care about my gaming experience more than the company and Nintendo develop fantastic games that boost that. I find people pigeonholing others who don't agree with their assessment to be offensive. "I don't like this, so everyone must not like this and whoever does like it just cares about the company"

They've done my bundle

So you'd want a game where you can change the sensitivity in the middle of a match, and thus screw your team over?

Didn't Nintendo do the Pro Controller due to Gearbox? Look what happened there.

Interesting. Nintendo apparently had the most popular booth in the show again. Seeing tempers calm down now, too. Let's hope Nintendo throw something at us soon to placate.

How it ports? You do realise this was built ground-up for the Wii U, right?

One of us. One of us. One of us.

I dunno, I don't think we'll see any step backs. We know NX is the OS platform that runs on a separate handheld and console device and that they share architecture, but they aren't going to step back.

Think he meant Federation Force more :p

Na, this is an idea Tanabe has said he's wanted to do with the Metroid Prime series for 10 years and thanks to the New 3DS, he's finally able to do it.

Na don't worry, I won't take his bait
