Fused King Posted May 25, 2011 Author Posted May 25, 2011 I'm not sure how to feel. On the one hand i'm super excited about Nintendo showing their next console, on the other i'm a little worried about Nintendo disregarding the Wii. It's kinda like the situation with the 3DS and DS. Its great seeing 3DS titles BUT i'm still very much in love with the DS even though Nintendo are probably moving on from it now. Aren't you worried that they'll revolutionise in one area, but come up with half-arsed concepts in another?
Hero-of-Time Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Aren't you worried that they'll revolutionise in one area, but come up with half-arsed concepts in another? I want an online system like Xbox Live but I'm all set for a disappointment when it comes to their online setup. Other than that i'm not expecting anything else. To be honest i'm not looking for Nintendo to revolutionise anything, they probably will but I care little about waggle, sensors etc. I just want to play my favourite Nintendo franchises on a HD system with a decent online setup and I will be happy.

Amen. I'm hoping they don't feel that they have to innovate in order to continue the precedent. I'm sure the Vitality Sensor came about from this desire.

It seem's to have turned around so quick doesn't it? completely agree that I don't want to see the back of the DS and Wii, it's just a shame the Wii wasn't packing better / competitive specifications from launch, it would of been nice to have a longer life cycle to it much like the 360 and PS3. But there really isn't much more it can do now.

Agreed completely about the Nintendo quality games on glorious HD, but I am actually looking forward to what they'll bring to gaming next. Just been in a deep conversation with a friend who doesn't understand the impact Nintendo had to gaming (Wavebird = Wireless / Analogue stick / rumble features / motion controls etc etc etc) got slightly heated as he would reply the N64 Controller was shit to hold, but my point wasn't comfort, it was new features brought to gaming from it. but anyways yes... it got to the point of what they'll do next, and while we can only assume it'll be the controller that has the innovative features, was discussing if the console could offer anything new to gaming... my stupid stab in the dark was holographic displays, which was very OTT in the Iron Man films...
Grazza Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 my stupid stab in the dark was holographic displays, which was very OTT in the Iron Man films... They're coming, it's just that it'll be down to television manufacturers and the companies that make the discs (or otherwise) that'll hold the massive amounts of data required.

Its great seeing 3DS titles BUT i'm still very much in love with the DS even though Nintendo are probably moving on from it now. TO be honest with you the DS has had a blooooooooody good run, with Nintendo AND thrid parties all pushing what the capabilities on the DS. I truly think it's had a good run, and seeing Nintendo keen on just bringing more old Japanese DS games that never came over here to keep the machine from dying right away I CAN'T WAIT (It's like the only small hope I can cling onto in hopes that Soma Bringer comes over here ) I still don't think that the Wii is dead...yet, this new system is out next year, Nintendo still need to show the goods when it comes to the Wii so they can still make money this year. Shit all Nintendo would have to do for us is release Monster Hunter 3G on the Wii and we will be playing it for 6 months straight xD
Kav Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 It's funny, I honestly believe that the Wii hasn't lived up to it's potential, not even half it's potential... and yet it's still my favourite of all the consoles! It really is amazing, even if it should've been more amazing! This E3 I'm hoping for Pikmin, Wave Race and a Retro Studios game (either a new IP or just news that Retro will develop the next Zelda) all for Project Cafe.
darkjak Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Source? I can't find my old source. HOWEVER, it's mentioned during the Microsoft section of the latest Bonus Round episode.
Retro_Link Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) What happened to that Space[man/suit] game that was shown in a compilation trailer maybe 2 E3's ago? Was that a Nintendo title? I wouldn't be surprised if Retro Studios are working on Starfox. Didn't they say recently they aren't working on a follow up to DKCR, but that it would be a project people would be very excited about... or did I make that up? Edited May 26, 2011 by Retro_Link

I believe they said that they're working on what people are wanting them to work on.... So I guess it depends on which forum they've been checking out:laughing: Going by N-Europe, I'd say they're making F-Zero. However, it might also mean that they continue with Metroid Prime, remember, MP3 had an open ending....
Nolan Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 What happened to that Space[man/suit] game that was shown in a compilation trailer maybe 2 E3's ago? Was that a Nintendo title? Cosmic Walker About the same fate as Project Hammer I'd guess.
Kav Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) "Do a barrel-roll." Awesome! I've mentioned what I'd like to see from Nintendo, but from the other conferences I think I'd like to see something of The Last Guardian... and that's about it to be honest. I can't get excited over Uncharted 3, I just have a feeling it'll be too short again. Edited May 26, 2011 by Kav
Nolan Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I can't get excited over Uncharted 3, I just have a feeling it'll be too short again. As many problems as I think Uncharted 2 had, I did not think length was one of them actually.

I can't get excited over Uncharted 3, I just have a feeling it'll be too short again. You're into multiplayer far as I can tell. Maybe you should have a look at Starhawk. As many problems as I think Uncharted 2 had, I did not think length was one of them actually. Loved Uncharted 2 as a kind of blockbuster experience and never had a problem with it's length. If anything the game might have been shorter for my liking. I'm not very fond of the shooting mechanics in Uncharted 2 (I think they're solid, but unremarkable), so I wouldn't have complained, if they decided to shorten them by throwing less waves of enemies at you.
Kav Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 I must be alone in thinking the length of the game is a problem. It's an enjoyable experience whilst it lasts that's for sure and it's amazingly well scripted, brilliant dialogue, but I finished it on the hardest setting in a little over 6hrs, it just left me feeling a little disappointed... I couldn't get into it's multiplayer as I think the shooting mechanics are the games big weakness.

Magnus Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Do they make you jealous because you don't own any non-Nintendo consoles?

Fused King Posted May 27, 2011 Author Posted May 27, 2011 GTTV briefly talk Nintendo at E3 http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/122?ch=3&sd=1 I saw that, it's not worth mentioning. GT, and in particular Geoff Keighley, are a disgrace to NINTENDO news!
Retro_Link Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah they don't talk much, though they do raise a good point about the controller and a possible problem with button mapping third party games. Once again Nintendo are likely to need a second controller... which for consumers is a bit annoying really.
Kav Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Here's an E3 hope and dream of mine; Battlefield 3 to be released on Nintendo's new console! That'd make my day/month/year! lol
Debug Mode Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) THERE SHALL BE NO MENTION OF OTHER SYSTEMS AND/OR GAMES THAN THOSE OF NINTENDO IN THIS THREAD! Yeah uh... no. Although it's apart of the rumour I posted in the Cafe announcement thread, there's supposedly a Kojima game to be shown that looks like a remake of Snatcher. I would love this to be true and I will shit bricks if shown. This is relevant due to the fact it's supposedly in the footage during Nintendo's project cafe title montage.
