Mr-Paul Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Right so, but the dev round table is 11/11:30pm'ish in LA, so that is 7/7:30am for us here... Can anyone clarify this? Yep, 7:30am if you are in Britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Miyamoto will walk in, slip a piece of paper on the table with a sketch of Fox McCloud on it and walk out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamishmash Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I forgot how SLOW these conferences are. They could fit in more games if they didn't make Reggie not only repeat everything that Iwata did on Sunday, repeat HIMSELF often and spend precious minutes talking very slowly about how "We simply don't have enough time to show you everything". It makes me feel they don't have much to show at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Miyamoto will walk in, slip a piece of paper on the table with a sketch of Fox McCloud back to back with Samus on it and walk out. corrected that for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 From Neogaf: According to the grapevine, CoD was shown to journalists on Wii U a little while ago and THQ was supposed to have a few titles (outside of Darksiders) but even that was nowhere to be found outside of a press release. Did Nintendo do something to pissed them off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 First of all, thanks Dazzybee for sending your links! I owe you. The conference itself got off to a great start, but then it seemed to flat-line and never really recovered. The problem with the big three conferences is that they're just showing us things that we either expected or what we already know about. There's not really been anything that's surprised us. With Nintendo's conference, they showed Mass Effect 3 and ZombiU, which are two games that we were't expecting (well, not until a few days ago anyway). It wasn't a disaster, but it wasn't inspiring either. Pikmin looks great, Lego City looks pretty interesting, and unless ZombiU and Rayman turn out to be terrible, they'll be mine, too. I just wanted a little bit more. To round things off, the chinese fucked up my order and sent me chicken balls instead of prawn. Quite fitting, that Nintendo sometimes don't give you what you want or "need". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 IS there an activiion conference or something? Their head guy hinted it was definitely coming. The lack of 3rd party support is really really baffling! Am I exaggerating saying it's the worst it's been for Nintendo since the N64 and they said they were actively trying to improve it?!

D_prOdigy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Well, you know. If any of those journos want to do some journalism and inform the world about those "few titles" from THQ, it would be a mighty swell time to do that guyz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_fergy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 The thing that worries me is online gaming. All the games that were showed we're all single player or local multiplayer. If Mario U isn't online multiplayer then it's very worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) More from NeoGaf: Nintendo pulled trailers of Retro's new game,EAD Toykto's new game & demo of Aliens. Edit: COD:BO2 is still development, Retro sounds like a mystery because it's in "showable" form and could be shown soon (though not necessarily at E3). EAD game was in pre-alpha stages so they just felt it wasn't ready yet. Nintendo didn't want to show games that weren't in the launch window. It does give reason for the odd 3DS games discussion and long draw out on NintendoLand. Edited June 5, 2012 by Dante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'd suspect those 'titles' from THQ are now merely a single 'title', i.e. Darksiders 2. Having just shut down a studio yesterday during the conferences, as well as passing off some of their licenses (EA now have MMA for example) and their financial troubles, wouldn't be surprised if they felt it was too much of a risk financially to release the games on the platform, ala Metro Last Light, given their fragile position right now. Would love to be wrong but other than WWE 13, they've not got anything else to bring to the Wii U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) More from NeoGaf:Nintendo pulled trailers of Retro's new game,EAD Toykto's new game & demo of Aliens. Could you link to these? Because while it's fair to say some people on NeoGAF are reliable, it's equally fair to say a good chunk of stuff is pulled out from some arse or another. I don't see how information like that would get out. EDIT: Doesn't matter, I found it. The source is good, but I really don't read it as they were pulled literally last minute or anything. And the Retro one certainly doesn't sound like it was pulled at all. Edited June 5, 2012 by D_prOdigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murr Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yep, 7:30am if you are in Britain Cool well I'm up at 8, so hopefully by then I'll get to wake up to some bombs that were dropped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does give reason for the odd 3DS games discussion and long draw out on NintendoLand. Normally I'd call BS on this, but considering that everything shown and announced was launch window, it's not that outlandish. For an event where they were supposedly short on time, a lot of that was actually pretty well wasted on rambling and the pointless 3DS game name unveils!

madeinbeats Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Yeah, I was thinking it felt like something was pulled "we're not talking about 3DS at all" .. .. "now let's talk a little about 3DS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Roundtable discussion has started. They're shiting on more about Nintendoland. Listen Nintendo, I don't give a fuck about it. I want real games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debug Mode Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 IT JUST KEEPS GOING! Supposedly 90 minutes long yet we're nearing half an hour of Nintendo Land. Jeebus, have they completely lost it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 30 minutes on a game we know About and attendees can play. Then chat about mario that we all know and everyone can play. Fuck me they're a joke. Constant repetition. We still don't know how miiverse fully works. We don't know their online plans. Yet they babble on about bollocks. Nintendoland MIGHT be a packin They just said this: "There's sort of this attitude that Nintendo is targeting more casual consumers, but actually we're more interested in making games for people who really love games." Do they know how ridiculous they sound? After chatting about nintendoland for 30 minutes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
