Aneres11 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Wondered that too, hope they do announce more stuff tomorrow. I'm not kidding at this point - where's Dragon Quest VII? Yeah it's weird. Because the upcoming 3ds schedule is pretty barren anyway so they've gotta have something. Honestly though, I don't see the 3ds having as long a life span as the DS or GameBoy did anyway, so perhaps the slow down in games is making way for a newer model... We'll see.
Retro_Link Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 They are certainly selling me on Splatoon which I initially dismissed.I was sold on that from the start, but the more I see the more I like!
Debug Mode Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Splatoon looks good, but it's looking like yet another game that's going to jump the chat thing. They're very carefully treading around the phrases "assigning roles" and "communicating".
Agent Gibbs Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 The lack of 3DS stuff makes me feel like tomorrow we might get more 3DS stuff
Rummy Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Mario Maker appears to currently be on the Twitch stream - and again in the same vein as old rom hacks; bastard hard levels! I wondered if that might be the appeal of it, and whilst not for me, I'm thinking it might pick up an interesting little community around it. It's old school, rote level learning. Try, fail, learn, overcome. Rinse, repeat.

Retro_Link Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Ok I'm won over on Mario Maker! Again thanks to the Treehouse!
Rummy Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Ok I'm won over on Mario Maker! Again thanks to the Treehouse! Needed more awareness/inclusion of scheduling of content so that people looking for x y or z could tune in/out to their leisure. Having just tuned in myself to the Mario Maker stuff I certainly see the appeal. However, maybe an ironic reflection of the Wii U and its existing content at the moment - it's no good making something awesome that too few people actually know about.
Josh64 Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I wasn't overly blown away by their initial direct (though it was decent) but this treehouse thing afterwards has been amazing. I haven't had this much fun following Nintendo stuff since I used to rip open NOM magazines before the days of the internet. So exciting. Also, HYRULE WARRIORS! Looks so hot man. The new Zelda game also looks beautiful. But... dat squid game. Oh man. Am waiting for the Smash Bros tournament now and the atmosphere looks amazing! This E3 has to be my favourite since 2004. Faith in Nintendo restored.

Jimbob Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Going onto my E3 predictions for Nintendo, and what was seen. More information on Zelda for the WiiU, revealing a cross between sailing and horse riding Nice to see Zelda on show, nice art style as well. But if that's all we got to see this year, i'm a little worried. That could have been shown last year really. New Metroid Still, E3's not over yet. Could be revealed, who knows. News on F-Zero Still, E3's not over yet. Could be revealed, who knows. Majoras Mask 3DS confirmed So far, no news. E3's not over yet so i'm still holding out hope. A new franchise Yes, we've got a game called "Splatoon". Looks interesting, and i'll look into that more. A re-launch of how Nintendo think*, with a re-launch of the WiiU. What was i thinking Overall, not a bad digital presentation. A few things went on too long, like Smash and Yoshi. That figurine thing, sorry bit of a money-grabber really. That won't sell Wii U consoles, which is what they want to do. A good 2015 (if all the games come out then). But for 2014, still looks a little shaky.
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I've just finished watching both Nintendo and Sony's conferences after a loooong day at work. A bit surprised to see people in here are so positive at what they saw in Nintendo's show, I thought it was pretty bland. Splatoon looks like it'll be a laugh and X will obviously be awesome because Monolith Soft. We need to see much more of Zelda before we make judgements. Other than that, I thought that there seemed to be a lot of "filler" with talking (dat wool shop...) and it seemed to go at a snail's pace. Also, I'm a bit tired of all the Smash Bros. coverage. We had it at the start of the conference, we had it at the end and we'll get more in the form of the dojo and other directs. It's overkill.

Although I personally enjoyed the Digital Event, you've mainly missed the Tree House stuff which has pretty much been wall to wall excellence from Nintendo and, it seems, really got people much more excited than just the direct on its own...try and find some videos if you can, well worth a watch!

I'm looking forward to the likes of Xenoblade, Splatoon and Bayonetta (even if that is taking forever to come out). Aside from that, the one area that Wii U isn't short on is platformers and the likes of Yoshi, Kirby and that Captain Toad game don't interest me. No amount of seeing these games is going to interest me...I've still got Rayman Legend sealed, haven't even finished Donkey Kong Country Returns on the Wii, etc. I'm burned out in this area. The one thing I was interested with and sat forward for was that Miyamoto thing at the end and they quickly skipped away from that.

There's a few videos on Youtube after having a quick look.

We'll I can't argue with that, to be fair I still haven't picked up Tropical Freeze as 100%'ing Rayman burnt me out on 2D platformers! Miyamoto did debut these new games on the Tree House segment he was in, however they weren't to my tastes and he only mentioned Star Fox at the very end without actually showing it! One thing I could have done with is a big 3D game, like more of the Zelda reveal or Mario 64 HD. However as I said overall I quite enjoyed it and Tree House coverage has enthused me even further!

Blade Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) @Fierce_LiNk The Treehouse event was the best bit! It's a shame that you missed it. I thought Nintendo's presentation was decent! A lot better than last years by a country mile. You just know that everything shown was exclusive to the console :p Edited June 11, 2014 by Blade

No dragon quest VIII remake is worrying.. Really does look like it's not coming. Bit confused where Nintendo is going with the 3DS at the moment.

A lot better than last years by a country mile. You just know that everything shown was exclusive to the console :p It showed Nintendo had a lot of confidence in their products, too. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if MS/Sony absorbed the Digital Event or Treehouse Live concept for next year. Ok I'm won over on Mario Maker! Again thanks to the Treehouse! Same. It looks amazing. However, I am hoping it gets more fleshed out. We need to be able to add Lakitus, Buzzy Beetles and other enemies. It'd also be nice if it had a Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World toggle as well. I'll be moderately happy with it as it is now, but it needs more to it. Just Goombas, Koopa Troopers, Piranha Plants and Hammer Bros. is not enough Edited June 11, 2014 by Serebii Automerged Doublepost
Guy Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 The Direct, the Treehouse and of course Smash resulted in an almost day long conference. Winning.

Wii Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 We all know Majora's Mask remake has been as good as confirmed, right? Would prefer the Wii U but I see the sense in it being on 3DS.
