Did Nintendo Really Fail At E3 ?

What’s up everybody, this is Tyuno The Great. June 5, 2012 was Day 2 of E3 2012. Microsoft and Sony have already presented their press conferences, now all eyes were on Nintendo. This E3 was very big for Nintendo because it was the year that they would show more detail on their new console, the Nintendo Wii U. Everyone, include myself, waited with excitement to hear what Reggie Fils-Aime will unveil at their presentation. So the question was, What does Nintendo have in store for E3 2012?

Yeah, it did.

Sure, their console looked impressive, but only compared to the current gen consoles.

Then the games they showed were all sequels to old franchises or ports from current consoles.

Whether or not the Wii U is a success or not in the future, their E3 conference failed.

Venoxn4g5084d ago

Emmm... those look old IPS's or ports?

Lego City Stories
Project P-100
ZombiU
Nintendo Land
Rise of the Guardians: The Video Game
Tank! Tank! Tank!
Injustice: Gods Among Us

and I wouldn't call Ninja gaiden 3: razor edge a port, maybe an enhanced version, which was developed at NG3 development time..

I would say, they weren't so bad as you would say

Grap5084d ago

wow i loved all that games. /s

Blackdeath_6635084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

those games mentioned are mediocre at best. not E3 worthy in my honest opinion.

live2play5084d ago

''only compared to current gen consoles''
yes wiiu's LAUNCH TITLES look as good as ps3 xbox games that developers had 6-7 YEARS TO LEARN FROM

if u really want to compare

compare PS3 XBOX LAUNCH TITLES to WIIU LAUNCH TITLES

360ICE5084d ago

I think it's most fair to compare the difference between PS3/360 early displayed titles and PS2/XBOX's best looking titles to the difference between Wii U's early displayed titles and 360/PS3 best looking titles. Didn't games like Motorstorm, Gears of War and GT HD Concept blow away God of War 2 a lot more than, say, ZombiU blows away Uncharted 3?

I guess games take smaller technical leaps the further they get, but there's not really anything on WiiU that outdates the current gen in terms of graphics.

-Superman-5084d ago

They did fail

First of all, they dident show any new great games...
Nintendo land? Really?
Games they shower were all mini games.

Only ZombiU looked awesome.

They had 1.5h time, and they wasted it... Wii U comes out this year and they showed almost no new games. They showed mini gmaes...

ronin4life5084d ago

their conf. was 1 hour.
Their e3 had good content. They didn't fail there. They failed to live up to the potential they had built up for themselves. They failed to take advantage of the upper hand they were given.

They fell short. WAY short. Compared to what it SHOULD have been, they failed. But taken in on its own merit, their e3 wasn't a total failure. It just wasn't all that great.

live2play5084d ago

they failed to hype at their E3 CONFERENCE
but did not fail to impress on the e3 show floor
seriously look at previews and hands on reviews
95% are saying the games look great and are fun (YES INCLUDING NINTENDOLAND)

(nintendoland was prestented VERY POORLY but nearly every hands on preview indicates a fun time)

Moncole5084d ago (Edited 5084d ago )

Nintendo did really well. People were just disappointed because they didnt see a game they wanted.

SHowing a a new system
Zombi U
Pikmin 3
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Lego City Stories
New Super Mario Bros U

you can get a Wii U at launch with 5 new games not on the other consoles.

flightdown5084d ago

I honestly don't see how the Wii U is going to compete in the next cycle.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi65d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer65d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot65d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno65d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay65d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno64d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK64d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
