Nintendo Wins E3 2014

Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event just kicked off just a while ago and boy did they kill it! Starting off with a cute new addition to the highly anticipated Super Smash Bros. U, called Amiibo. Amiibo are interactive figures that can be linked to your Smash Bros. characters. They are even integrating it with Mario Kart 8 and future games. But this was just the beginning.

Nintendo won this year, easy battle!!

parentoftheyear4394d ago

Seriously been waiting for price drop. Because there isn't enough games to justify my purchase. But now that I see Mario Maker, this console is MINE!!! Too AWESOME.
Now I can get in on all the mario titles, and donkey kong. VERY EXCITED.

NewMonday4394d ago

good show but not enough to win.

Sony had tons of quality games on it's show and almost non of them is coming to the WiiU.

sorry but non other than "Nintendo only" fans would call them winners.

DoctorJones4394d ago

A lot of people are saying they had the best showing NewMonday. I know it's hard for you to take, but that's how it is.

NewMonday4394d ago

@NewMonday

actually most people say Sony won it hands down, not even close

#dealwithit

PeaSFor4394d ago

Sony pretty much won the bronze, silver AND gold.

but nice showing from nintendo, captn toad thingny look interesting.

seraphym884394d ago

lol Nintendo won e3 so easily its kinda sick. Sony announced 80% of the 'realistic shooters' that mircro, EA, and Ubi announced. Matter of fact, (like almost always) it was hard to tell which presentation you were watching unless you seen the big company symbol on top. How many times does Far cry 4 and CoD have to be announced?

o wellz doesn't matter, most (unbiased) people believe Nintendo won handily. I honestly think the fact "NewMonday" disagrees is just a sigh of how disappointed he was in his favorite company.

Mr_Writer854394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Yeah....I can't wait to play those realistct shooters like...

Grim Fandango
Little Big Planet 3
Entwined
No mans sky
Bloodborne
Batman Arkham Knight
Infamous
Abzu
The Order 1886
Bro force
Let it Die
Not a hero
Titan Soul
Metal Gear Solid 5
Mortal Kombat X
The Last of Us Remaster
Uncharted 4
GTA 5 next gen.

miyamoto4393d ago

I am sure Nintendo fans liked what they saw - its games from Nintendo! Probably the only games die hard Nintendo fans will probably buy & play.
I personally found the game's graphics a breeze of fresh air in contrast to the dark, bloody, violent, grim majority of games shown out there.
I loved the Yoshi yarn game's look, Zelda game cell shaded graphics as they are so heart warming.

But are they enough for PlayStation gamers like me to get a Wii U? They are nothing new as we already have LBP and Ni No Kuni. They should have made something totally new.

But where are the games for the hard core gamers Mr. Iwata was trying to convince?
But then again where is the 3rd party support?

This show cemented the fact that Nintendo only caters to their loyal fanbase and not the majority of the core gaming community.

I am a huge Japanese games fan but their show is "very Japanese" and did not present the best of the west.

They are still playing it safe.

Maybe Mr. Iwata's "Secondary Next Gen Companion Console" plan is what Nintendo is doing with the Wii U.

And for them that is good enough...for now.

yep they did win.

i mean not only did nintendo show more enthusiasm for this day, more so than sony and micro, but the trailer that was shown for Bayonetta 2 puts to shame both sony and microsofts show. < fact

not to mention the new zelda for wiiU and yoshi witchCraft look SKILLS.

sony with their good looking copy and paste graphics. exclusives looking like something that anybody can do, no imagination, no skills, just wrinkles, pores etc ?
including Uncharted 4, including Drivecub, including the Order, Farcry 4 etc uuuuu so creative (: . impress me with that gameplay instead .

nintendo wins E3 2014, more gameplay to their games, better more talented graphics, game changinng tech with figurines that com to life. and even play as (YOU) in smash bros!! oh my .

Nintendo dominated E3 2014 < fact

It's called next gen, you'll find out one day when Nintendo catch up

The comment section was going quite well until you moved your fingers and put words on a screen

It is not called next gen. Maybe you should look up the word "generation" in a dictionary. Go watch a movie or play PS4, same thing.

Wow, look at all those disagrees.
Console war soldiers are in full force today; they just can't accept the fact that the Wii U has become more desirable to a lot of gamers after this.

randomass1714394d ago

Ah screw the naysayers and haters. Wii U had a good lineup before and now it has a great lineup to come. I loved Sony's conference most but nothing will take away how awesome Nintendo's conference was this year.

Magicite4394d ago

for serious gamers Nintendo means nothing.

Studio-YaMi4394d ago

Says you,Nintendo IPs are amazingly fun to play and are actually challenging.

truechainz4394d ago

funny how you say that yet they are the ones holding a tourney during e3. Nothing you ever do in gaming will be as significant as solid tourney play.

Olih144394d ago

Where were Sony and Microsoft when Nintendo was making games 30 years ago?
You must be very young to make this assessment.
Serious gamer? What does it mean?
Nintendo makes platform games, strategic games, racing games, FPS games, family games: FUN, high-quality, long-life games.
It is what a gamer needs and asks for.

Nevers0ft4393d ago

Other manufacturers and publishers aside (this isn't a competition), you should slap yourself for that. Nintendo pretty much single-handedly saved the industry back in the 80s, if it wasn't for Nintendo you'd likely be playing VASTLY different games now (if you'd be playing any at all).

herbs4393d ago (Edited 4393d ago )

If you don't like Nintendos unique approach to game design where gamplay comes first then you are infact not a serious gamer. The majority of Sony's hardcore fans care for visuals and set pieces first, gameplay always takes a back seat and the majority of Sony's first party studios cater to this. Killzone, Infamous, The Order 1886 are just a few examples of pretty games with just OK gameplay that's the truth. Even the Last Of Us and Uncharted while great games are more about visuals and story telling then they are about stellar gameplay mechanics. Sorry Dmitri but your just another ignorant guy who likes video games but you will never be a true gamer if you can't except that Nintendo makes some of the best video games that have ever been created.

avengers19784394d ago

I'd say Nintendo has a really good E3, new Zelda looks really good. They had a lot to show for Nintendo fans, star fox it's been so long since I played star fox. Bayonetta is now a bundle with the first game, devils third, and X all looking pretty good.

I might have to get a Wii U this holiday

Chuk54394d ago

In a way, I could agree.
But with almost 90% of the games coming out in 2015, an extinguished hope of multiplatform games, and a surprising quietness on 3DS projects (considering it's monster year in 2013), the event does gleam as much. Still think Nintendo did super well, but I can't feel like I need a WiiU in 2014.

Loadedklip4394d ago

unfortunately 90% of the games shown on Microsoft and Sony's conferences were also 2015.

What's the big game for XB1 in 2014? Halo Collection?
What's the big game for PS4 in 2014? Little Big Planet?

Wii U = best exclusive games in 2014
You only need one of the following ... PC, PS4, XB1 for the multiplatforms. Heck to be honest ... a PS3 and 360 would do as most of these games in 2014 are still coming to last gen as well.

Wii U has the best exclusive games in 2014.

Chuk54394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Wow...ok.

EDIT: Sunset Overdrive? Forza Horizon 2? Planetside 2? The Witness? What's Wrong with Little Big Planet 3? It's a bit early to be casting aspersions against one of the most acclaimed IPs in gaming. Is Evovle coming to Wiiu? No. Unity? No. And please you cannot be serious with the idea that you can on a 360 for a multiplat like Far Cry 4 and expect to be just as satisfied as if you owned aPS4/X1 or PC. Did you play FC3 on 360? Ran like trash. Have you seen Watch Dogs PS3 vs PS4? Trash.

It's not just about exclusives, I don't understand why like you're acting like it is.

Chrischi19884394d ago

Of course you can. As long as the game runs good with a good framerate and acceptable visuals, it will offer the same experience. It is so dumb to act like it is different. But what can one expect from an PS4 fanboy? You even try to make it seem like Xbox Ones visuals are too bad to have fun with, only PS4 is enough, but then, if somebody says PC looks better, he is an elitist or dumb or paid like $3000 and then suddenly visuals dont matter, they only matter up to a degree of the PS4. How stupid is that?

wonderfulmonkeyman4394d ago

That's a shame, because it'd be cool to play MK with more people.
I think you'd have a lot of fun with Devil's Third and Bayonetta 2, and Hyrule Warriors would certainly keep you entertained if you gave it a chance, I'm sure.

Trolltroll4394d ago

Lots of new 3ds games via nintendo direct tree house:
Professor Laton vs Phoenix Wright
Monster Hunter 4
Fantacy Life
Pokemon Art Academy
Maroi vs DK...
Final Fantasy that rhythm game (accually looks good)
Citizens of Earth
Gunman Clive 2
PersonaQ
Phoenx Wright trilogy
Blast em Bunnys
Tappingo 2
Throruum Wars
Yugioh Zexal...

seraphym884394d ago

How are 90% of Nintendos games coming in 2015? Did you see the digital event? or are you just typing words in frustration? smash bros(both versions), pokemon roby/saph, bayonetta 1&2, Devils third, Hyrule warriors, persona Q, and many more 3ds games are all 2014.

To be honest, only a short list was 2015...Zelda U, Yoshi Wooly World, xenoblade chronicles....i may be missing a few but thats all i can think of.

weekev154394d ago

Yeah you missed starfox, Devils third, Mario Party 10 which was easy to do since they were revealed post digital event. Wonder if Nintendo are finished their announcements, would be kind of sick if they kept this up over the course of the conference.

Oh and no doubt Nintendo won e3. Ill admit I am a Nintendo fanboy but come on Zelda, Mario maker, bayonetta 1 is being bundled with 2 and its out in October, hyrule warriors, xenoblade chronicles, starfox, mario party 10, yoshis wooly world, splatoon, the devils third, smash bros with miis and pauleta(or whatever shes called), pokemon, mario vs donkey kong, fantasy life, nfc figurines and we havent even talked about indie games that are being shown or the 2 Miyamoto concept games, of which super giant robots looked epic

Nes_Daze4394d ago

They had a great show, but no. This E3 was pretty mediocre, maybe the hype was too high.

Chuk54394d ago

It's been a pretty great E3 on imo.

KwietStorm_BLM4394d ago

I think it's been very good overall. Much better than last year so far.

Baccra174394d ago

You're right. Back then people didn't rush out to spoil you ahead of E3, because they actually knew surprises were to happen THERE. E3 hasn't been the same since it came back, and I don't think it ever will be the same.

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.

PRIMORDUS80d ago (Edited 80d 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.

Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs

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.

AuraAbjure105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer106d 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.

-Foxtrot106d 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_Box105d ago (Edited 105d 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

Inverno106d ago

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

Eonjay106d 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.

Inverno104d 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.

Killer2020UK104d 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 🤷‍♂️
