James McGeachie Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I'm starting to think we're all getting hyped up for another disaster by the way. Every year there's overhype for E3 and it never really, truly delivers, because we all demand the following: -TONS of massive news -TONS of new game footage of cool games -Very little shitty uninteresting stuff Reality, however, even on the best of years, tends to be: -TONS of shitty uninteresting stuff -Very little massive news -TONS of new game footage of shit games Now years like 2004, 2006 and 2010, years with a prominent piece of new technology, have been stand out years, definitely, so this should at least be up there...but like they all had a lot of boring shite in the conference as well, so I think it's best to scale the hype back a bit. I'm still expecting a conference that's something like 50% focused on Wii, DS, sales and expanded audience talk, then like 30% 3DS and like a small and unsatisfying amount of Project Cafe stuff, since technically we're not really even supposed to know the project exists yet, or not in Nintendo's plan anyway.

This is definitely a point I agree with. I remember when the Wii was announced, there was absolutely nothing but bear basic features and if I recall correctly, they didn't show anything of actual gameplay. Considering Cafe is supposed to be released next year, I have a feeling that if they plan for it to be released late next year we're not going to see much of it at all until may Tokyo Game Show etc.
Debug Mode Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Isn't there confirmed playable demos at E3 though? At this stage in the game I'm forgetting what's confirmed and what's rumour =\
dazzybee Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 This e3 has the potential to be amazing for Nntendo - the death knell for the Wii with but going out in style with Zelda (and maybe even the rumoured nsmbwii2). A great future for 3DS with details on more online functionality (messaging invites etc), how street and spot pass are going to be utilised, the video channel and LOADS of awesome games for the future. Then of course Project Cafe, which could be incredible. Of course it could be a massive disappointment

Yeah as said, it's going to be playable here so I doubt we're going to only get a little of Cafe... I don't think we have to worry about not getting enough information this year anyway. The 3DS stuff will excite me alone anyway.

Debug Mode Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 I expect to be disappointed in this regard. They better don't though. Same.. Console bundle bound to include carrier pigeons as an alternative to a working messaging feature.

LostOverThere Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I'm actually surprised more hasn't been "leaked" this year. I mean, by this time last year we knew Nintendo were going to announce GoldenEye Wii and Donkey Kong Country Returns.
ShadowV7 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Donkey Kong got leaked? I remember Godlen Eye though. Nintendo tend to be good at their secrets though.
LostOverThere Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Donkey Kong got leaked? I remember Godlen Eye though. Nintendo tend to be good at their secrets though. Yeah, IGN kept tweeting about it a few nights before.
darksnowman Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 !!!! This just in: Nintendo endorses smoking. Kiddy image gone, hardcore won over!
Fused King Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 I don't know, that console on the crate seems a bit.......off
Retro_Link Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I also believe they are modelling the console on it, with 100 screens and a built in speaker system. You were almost right!! 50, not 100 screens. :p
ShadowV7 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 It says to me: "Shadow, get off the internet, you're getting hyped over boxes. Go outside. And wait 50 hours."
Hero-of-Time Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 It says to me: "Shadow, get off the internet, you're getting hyped over boxes. Go outside. And wait 50 hours." It's E3! IT'S ALL ABOUT THE HYPE, BABY!!!
Retro_Link Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 That says 50" monitors...... You're a 50" monitor!
RedShell Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I thought this guy was the only person that got so excited by monitors :
darksnowman Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVUUq1hU3QU&t=6m24s Pimp my Enemy of the State. ..monitors of the monitors of the monitors of the monitors...
tapedeck Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Half of me doesn't want this year's E3 to be spoit by exclusive snaps. Remember when when Mario Bros Wii. was seen through drapes? Kinda ruined the OMG moment for me. I'm therefore hoping we can spoiler any pics or have a spoiler thread from here on out to enables us to keep E3 somewhat sacred. Or maybe E3 is all about the thrill of the chase. Ooooh yeah.
