Nintendo: Post-E3 2015 - Some Obvious Mistakes Were Made

Jason: "I went into the Digital Event with my expectations realistic and stayed back as everyone hopped on those hype trains. As a person who stayed calm and logical about the whole affair, what impressions did I have?"

Nintendo did great in general this E3

DualWielding3999d ago

you have a very weird concept of great

RPGrinder3999d ago (Edited 3999d ago )

Smash Direct
Treehouse
NWC

Best collection of games that any publisher had to there name.

People can cry about the 1 hour direct all they want, it has been confirmed by IGN that Nintendo had the most popular E3 booth.

@Heavy
Game Informer said it, Gamespot said it, they all said it.

Sony "won" because they had a kickstarter, a remake, and a 10 year old game that should have been out years ago. Wonderful.

Nintendo had Fire Emblem, Star Fox, Xenoblade, Yoshi, Mario & Luigi, Smt x fe, pokemon mystery dungeon, Zelda triforce heroes, animal crossing happy home designer and on and on. Most of this is coming this year.

@HentaiMasterrace

I am supposed to take someone with this name seriously?

Nintendos overall E3 was better than anyones. They had the most popular booth. That is winning E3.

xHeavYx3999d ago

Well, if IGN said it, then it must be true!

@RPGrinder

Smash Direct was fantastic, and really really exciting to watch. But since everything announced in it, with the exception of a few DLC stages, came out on the same day. Because of this, the Smash Direct didn't provide ANYTHING to be excited about.

Treehouse provided some awesome footage of various games people were already excited for, but it didn't announce anything new. So it didn't really get people excited for things they weren't already excited for.

I agree, the Nintendo Live Stream DID have the best collection of games out of any of the other publishers at E3. HOWEVER, everything good in it was something that was already known, and people were already excited for. Everything new that was announced was something that didn't get people very excited. So overall, it was one of the least exciting conferences. Best lineup, but little surprise.

Lol what!? Nintendo barely did better than EA, and theirs was terrible!

N0TaB0T3998d ago

Considering more money went into that stupid puppet skit. No. Just no. Also, they are persistent against rising trends and innovations every one of their competition embraces.

It's toxic corporate stubbornness.

RPGrinder3998d ago

I am pretty sure more money has gone into the development of Last Guardian than this puppet skit.

"they are persistent against rising trends and innovations"

What innovation do Sony or Microsoft show in the gaming space? Bland shooters with gray color pallets?

N0TaB0T3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

Holo Lense? Truly interactive projections?

You're kind of scraping the barrel here with your defenses. There were more adventurous games than "gritty grimy grody" (Hello? ReCore?) first person shooters. The indie titles announced are more solid than they have been the past two years. I'm not counting remasters (since we won't have to repurchase GoW 1 to play it on the One at some point). You either fire on all cylinders or you do not, again, Nintendo hyped "Change".

I'm sorry but Nintendo was hyping this huge change in avenues and honestly a cockroach laying eggs underneath the fridge brought more to the table than Nintendo's event. Hello? I've been sticking to their handheld consoles for quite some time now. I'm not playing sides here, and you should have had higher expectations if you were actually aware of the struggles the Wii U is facing globally.

So muchhhh bias? Heres Zelda? Metroid......... so yea Nope, Nintendo had not best collection of games.

emilijo7773998d ago

Let's hope that Wii U will at least have few good exclusives in future, we know how barren third party support is

Nintendo still hasn't dropped the price for Wii U

MrAfrika3999d ago

The thing is still $299, I don't care if it comes with the game, it shouldn't be only a mere $50 cheaper than the XBone with such a gap in graphics, quality, and gaming choices. I think its bright as day that Nintendo is trying to maximize its profits as they abandon this system.

Moonman3998d ago (Edited 3998d ago )

There is no gap in quality....stop smoking that..lol..

Wii U still has higher rated exclusives. Xbox One has maybe higher rated third party games...I'll say that....

deadpools_n643998d ago

No doom for it. No great Zelda. Small decent fun games with "Metroid" slapped in the title isn't good. Star fox was a plus. Could used an F-zero announcement but that's still wishful thinking.

mastershredder3998d ago

To those total clowns knocking down the N, a vast array of the executive team from Nintendo US and Japan were on the freak'n show floor for q and a, but to the anti-social free-tshirt and game-play-bragging-rights-focu sed individuals it probably would suck and GOOD. You are exactly the people who should not be at E3.

StormSailor3998d ago

I was sad by Nintendo after watching the Digital Event... but they deserve what's happening right now

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.

PRIMORDUS58d ago (Edited 58d 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

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

0hMyGandhi83d 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.

AuraAbjure83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer84d 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.

-Foxtrot84d 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_Box84d ago (Edited 84d 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

Inverno84d ago

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

Eonjay84d 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.

Inverno83d 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.

Killer2020UK83d 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 🤷‍♂️
