Nintendo should pull out of E3 entirely

Dropping out of E3 completely and showcasing its games elsewhere would be much better than the company's present half-hearted approach.

Sh*t-stirring article. One presentation went bad, neglect to mention last year was one of the best in E3 history, and that the rest of Nintendo's offerings at this year's E3 were great. The NWC was amazing, and the Treehouse live was awesome.

Microsoft should have abandoned E3 forever after being murdered on stage guys. No?

Nintendo didn't even have the worst presentation this year, that dubious honor goes to EA. No article on how they should do us all a favor and pull out of Earth's atmosphere after that cancer inducing mess? Disappointing.

mikeslemonade3988d ago

Yea they take the fun out of E3. Having it pre-recorded make it less exciting and less intimate.

jcnba283988d ago

"Yea they take the fun out of E3."

Each of the big 3 have had their ups and downs at past E3's. You're just being a hater. Grow up.

pompombrum3988d ago

I thought it was the exact opposite, the pre-recording made it feel far more intimate as it gave them the chance to say what they wanted free from the pressure of a live stage. Not knocking live presentations but I can see the benefits of doing what Nintendo did even if what they showed did suck.

Sm00thNinja3988d ago

Defensive much? Jesus you take this personally. Nintendo had undoubtedly the worst E3! Microsoft did fine wtf?? Still each of the big 3 has had an atrocious E3 in their past this article is nonsense

jcnba283988d ago

Exactly so because Nintendo had a bad E3 this year they should now pull out?

Who writes these articles?

iplay1up23988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

Uh, has everyone forgotten about Microsoft XB1 reveal at E3? It is the first time I actually heard people MOAN at E3. Worst presentation ever still goes to Microsoft.

Sm00thNinja3988d ago

No divert as much as you want the hardware was still exciting there was NOTHING EXCITING ABOUT NINTENDO's E3 and those troll dance sequences in between ugh.... Microsoft had their terrible reveal. Sony had their $600 boomerang reveal. Nintendo has this complete dud to add to the list

Shnazzyone3988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

It was a bad E3 compared to their blockbuster last year conference. The reality was it wasn't bad just unimpressive. They had some good announcements but for some reason they didn't do enough with Wii U. Why didn't they talk about fatal frame? Why didn't they talk about devil's third?

I mean do you really think a Platnium starfox game and Mario Luigi Paperjam were bad things to show?

* Just stop people.

Some of you are trying way to hard to hate.

mii-gamer3988d ago

I don't see the logic. They failed momentously this year, but succeeded emphatically last year. If anything, we should demand them to be more consistent at E3.

I'm just going to downvote the website, because this is just clickbait garbage.

freshslicepizza3988d ago

i agree, they just had a bad e3 this year but last year was great.

nintendo made the mistake of talking about it's new system too early and now that's what everyone wants to hear. especially after seeing zelda pulled out of this years e3 and no new games for the wii u.

i like the nintendo direct videos because what it shows is nintendo. it doesn't show all the garbage microsoft and sony pull off on stage with exclusive debut or exclusive dlc. nintendo is still able to focus on what they do.

comebackkid98913988d ago

Someone sounds a little butt-hurt.

animegamingnerd3988d ago

by this logic shouldn't we no longer have EA cause all 3 of the first parties all have had plenty of bad E3's this wasn't the first time one of the first party had a bad conference and it won't be the last time we see a bad E3 from any of them.

Big_Game_Hunters3988d ago

Wrong, Everyone loves a comeback story. Success is sweetest after failure.

Last_Boss3988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

Nintendo is/was too focused on capturing that DS money. The 3 great games they had sitting there begging to be displayed got kicked to the side by a boring Star Fox demo.

Fire Emblem Fates
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem

Liked the Paper Mario/M&L crossover. That Metroid game was the turd of E3. Me myself personally the Zelda thing was stale as well.

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.

PRIMORDUS49d ago (Edited 49d 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.

0hMyGandhi74d 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.

AuraAbjure73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer75d 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.

-Foxtrot74d 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_Box74d ago (Edited 74d 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

Inverno74d ago

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

Eonjay74d 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.

Inverno73d 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.

Killer2020UK73d 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 🤷‍♂️
