Nintendo has had three E3 showcases in a row without a main Zelda game for home consoles to talk about (Wind Waker HD doesn't count). They will be fine.

maniacmayhem4028d ago

Exactly, people seem to forget that Nintendo has a lot more main stream and anticipated exclusives than just Zelda.

wonderfulmonkeyman4028d ago

My biggest and most important wish, is for a release date for Xenoblade Chronicles X within the next two or three months.

Anything else beyond that is totally an open book waiting to be filled as far as I'm concerned.

...
Although...
I wouldn't mind Bayonetta 3...

Xof4028d ago

You really think that's going to happen?

Unless Nintendo pulls a fast one on us and announces a Starfox release date this year, or some other big unannounced game on WiiU this year, Xenoblade is pretty much all they've got for the latter half of 2015. That pretty much means it HAS to have a November or December release date, regardless of any other circumstances.

wonderfulmonkeyman4028d ago

Way to forget about Devil's Third and Splatoon, not to mention unrevealed games that are in the works.
Seriously, if you want Nintendo to be about more than Mario, start giving due credit to games like Devil's Third instead of dismissing them as "niche" or whatever else you can come up with.

Xof4028d ago (Edited 4028d ago )

I did forget about Devil's Third... but isn't Splatoon coming out this summer? And Mario Maker, too?

Hell, Splatoon is coming out this month. And -no one- is talking about Devils Third, so no matter how you cut it, the last half of 2015 is looking pretty damn barren for WiiU.

And why do fanboys always think "unrevealed games" are a valid counterargument to a lack of games?

Starfox is releasing this year...

Sly-Lupin4027d ago

Starfox may release this year, it may not. It still hasn't even been unveiled.

If they're not going to talk about Zelda U at E3, they sure as hell better have several other unannounced games to talk about. They're keeping their platforms afloat almost entirely via first-party titles, after all--they have to have something new to show if they want to sustain them going forward.

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.

PRIMORDUS52d ago (Edited 52d 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.

0hMyGandhi77d 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.

AuraAbjure77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer78d 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.

-Foxtrot78d 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_Box77d ago (Edited 77d 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

Inverno78d ago

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

Eonjay78d 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.

Inverno76d 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.

Killer2020UK77d 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 🤷‍♂️
