Posted June 15, 2010 Best conference Nintendo's done in years. Microsoft must be pissed after their crappy show yesterday. Be interesting to see what Sony have up their sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 anywhere i can rewatch this? i missed the first 20 minutes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 I missed quite a bit because the feed kept lagging. Donkey Kong Country looked awesome. Great conference, it seems bizarre that they just had a conference with Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Metroid and Kid Icarus. And the 3DS has just killed any chance the PSP had. Kingdom Hearts, Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid?? And Take Two on board as well. Great year of gaming ahead! By the looks of it, 3rd parties are actually going to make some decent efforts on Nintendo hardware this time. - I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 Superb. Few sales stats, mostly wall-to-wall games. I feel satisfied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 I'm definitely going to be taking a good look into the 3DS, it does impress me quite so. But, will it be 3D in-wards or out-wards. Reggie was saying it is near impossible to show on the screen, so i may be putting a guess on in-ward 3D which would expand the gaming words ten-fold. If the 3D is out-wards e.g. projected out, then i think the stylus control would be useless. The only way i see the 3D being good on the DS is if it goes in-wards. Off topic, but sticking to 3D. 3D with glasses sucks big-style. Thats the 3D out-wards, something which wouldn't relax me at all after a hard-days work and all i want to do is watch a film or TV, (have to put glasses on just to watch the TV) and it makes me lean back in suspence. No thanks!!!. Zelda, hmm. Will need some work to impress me more, but it does look promising mind. Donkey Kong. Always good to see the big ape, nice to see a return for the Wii. Goldeneye, again nice to see it return finally. Looks like Nintendo have taken their middle fingers and told Microsoft and Rare to swivel on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 My expectations are usually pretty low so I was suitably impressed. Lots of core games, little time devoted to casual games. I'm glad they didn't leave Zelda until the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 excellent show.. really felt like it was for gamers again.. no demonstrations of casual games that not I would mind one more two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 Now that's how you do a conference! So many 'Holy crap' moments from me and colleagues. Literally couldn't believe some of the stuff shown. Really, really good showing from Nintendo. I'm not seeing Sony outdoing this easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 Anyone else watching the Iwata talks stream right now on Nintendo's E3 site? Quite interesting on Zelda about holding a sword still to power it up. Lack of Vitality Sensor in the conference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 I wasn't that impressed with Zelda either, but then again, we've hardly seen anything and no doubt the hype meter will explode when the release date gets closer and closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 I think the only way Sony can top it is if they show PSP 2 as something... impossible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 15, 2010 I think the only way Sony can top it is if they show PSP 2 as something... impossible. They're probably drumming up a '4D Gaming' tagline as we speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 The first 30 minutes of the conference were embarassing in a lot of ways, mainly because of how poorly Zelda worked onstage. From Epic Mickey onwards the conference was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 15, 2010 I thought overall it was a good conference. The actual gameplay of the big titles was lacking, but the announcements themselves were nice. After development time they could be quite amazing. Kid Icarus looked terrible, if you look at it honestly you can only hope they give it an overhaul. OtherM had a nice trailer, Zelda was a bit iffy. I don't think it's established itself yet as we weren't given a story direction with proper environments that would let us know what the game would bring to the table over its predecessors. Kirby looked pretty Rad. Can't say I've played 'Country before, don't kill me, but it looked quite nice for a 2.5D platformer. Nothing that excited me for that game though, I guess I'd have to be a fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 15, 2010 Shigsy mentioned Starfox on 3DS. I knew it! Starfox 3DS simply has to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) Much better show had something for everyone. Unlike MS they didnt forget core gamers. Seeing Kirby and DK again was most welcome! after Mario Bros i forsee these being huuuge. Having said that Nintendo didnt address any weaknesses. Cant say i am super hyped for any game(ok maybe DK) however as i am not a big Wii or DS fan. Its business as usual. Strong usual Nintendo made games, not much else. Same names and franchises for the past 15 years. 3DS looked very good but not a big change that Nintendo themselves hyped. The graphics are outdated for a new console. It still didnt look as good as PSP at all. So from a games point of view i am not too bothered. Overall it felt like Nintendo were the industry leader and did more than enough to stave off MS's new casual direction. Once 3DS comes out it will be bigger than Natal no matter how much cash MS throw at it. Edited June 15, 2010 by Choze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 I couldn't get the feed on e3.nintendo.com to load for me once. I watched it on GT (but had to refresh a few times as I kept getting an echo) and thought it was a very strong showing indeed. I thought it was interesting that for the Wii the main attraction is 2D games- not that I'm complaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As many here will tell you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 15, 2010 Nintendo ticked all the boxes in terms of new games for their franchises, but nothing really standing out to me. I've played GoldenEye and Donkey Kong years ago! Kojima once again banging on about another Metal Gear. Will this one be your last one too? Laughed my ass off when the crowd laughed at Saints Row on DS. That promotional video was pretty funny too when Reggie got set a light by Koopa. They made 3DS sound like PSP, iPhone and DS all-in-one. And no, I'm not going to watch 3D movies on a 4-inch screen..
