Nintendo underwhelms at E3 2012

Carl B of iNintendo.net writes, "One of the first things Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime said when he appeared on stage was that this year, for Nintendo, it was all about the games. After an abysmal Microsoft presser and a decent Sony one the day before, it was pretty apparent the Big N was taking a shot at its competitors."

I don't think any of the conferences held any surprises that blew folks away.

except for watch dogs from Ubisoft conference.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5073d ago

So true. Watch dogs was a nice surprise. But I enjoyed the Beyond trailer the most. If Ellen had showed up it woulda been perfect.

SKUD5073d ago (Edited 5073d ago )

Agreed. Very underwhelming. For me there's only two games that stood out (Watch dogs and last of us). Everything else was just more of the same and the onslaught of casual games continues. SEQUELS SEQUELS SEQUELS!. Yawn.

I liked Sony's most.
Nintendo was 2nd.
and Microsoft was last.

I am a Nintendo Fanboy but Beyond (like Heavy Rain) looks great to me.

dark-hollow5073d ago

no way nintendos conference was better than microsoft.

Sgt_Slaughter5073d ago

Um are you nuts? Microsoft had like 4 games and that was it. Nintendo had around 15-16 games that actually were pretty damn good.

Chuk55073d ago

@Robo, they failed to make the wiiu even feel like a new conference.

They failed completely as a result.

I wanna check out the 3ds show though.

shackdaddy5073d ago

IDK, all were extremely meh. I'm more of a Nintendo fan so I liked Nintendo's conference best, but it's like getting a gold medal at the Special Olympics...

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
