Nintendo’s lackluster E3 showing

Nintendo didn't do much at this years E3 with their Digital Event. It was more geared to showing mainly just games, but it didn't have the usual power Nintendo presents at their show. Many gamer's expected to hear something about Nintendo's next console, but not much about the NX came up. They also seemed to focus much of their time on 3DS games with less Wii U games present. Did Nintendo fail this E3?

These sites sure do come out of the woodwork for E3

Sly-Lupin3980d ago

Yup. Everyone has an opinion after E3, and everyone feels the need to shout it.

But, hey, on the upside, E3 is just about the only time most games media outlets will ever even write about Nintendo games.

blackblades3980d ago

Always you got the pre e3 articles like predictions etc. The actual e3 and then the after math with articles like this that might last for a couple of weeks.

" Many gamer's expected to hear something about Nintendo's next console, but not much about the NX came up."

Those "many gamers" were either ignorant of past statements or willfully stupid, then.
Nintendo had already stated they'd be talking about the system next year.

On another note...how many articles do we need on this subject before people are satisfied?
Are they trying to make up for last year, when Nintendo knocked it out of the park and left them with nothing to say?
At this point you could practically make a drinking game out of it; a shot for every time someone posts an article about Nintendo's bad E3 this year.

We get it already.

Even Nintendo fans know this year's presentation had a sucky mood.
Federation Force was the spark that lit the fires of disappointment.

But it's time to end the camping trip and smother the bonfire; no matter how bad they did, there's a limit to how many of these articles, that don't mention enough of the good aspects of it, should be popping up.

After Splatoon was a success, people thought they would have that to kick around. This was the next best thing.

emilijo7773980d ago

yea, Splatoon was huge success - 136k first month in US. That's worse than The Order: 1886.

Gamer7773980d ago

@emilijo777 Splatoon probably didn't cost much to make (like most Nintendo games) I'm certain its' sales will be enough to break even or make profit.

RPGrinder3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

@Emilijo

At least 600k globally from our estimates. Higher than the order

Metacritic - 81. The order well, we do not want to go with reviews, it was basically shovelware.

Your mistake is thinking about The Order.

jcnba283980d ago

@emilijo777

Splatoon is on a console with only 9/10 million install base.

The Order sold on a console with almost double that install base so the Splatoon numbers were actually very impressive.

Moonman3980d ago (Edited 3980d ago )

Splatoon had two days of NPD eligibility. I remember when the first Uncharted came out and sold 180k and people called flop. That game went on to sell millions and became an iconic franchise for Sony.

Peace and love.

The stories should be about Sony having no games for over 8 months. Instead, because metroid for wii u is not happening it is attack Nintendo despite the wii u and 3ds having a verty strong line up for the next 6 months.

hemmo19863979d ago (Edited 3979d ago )

No game accept Batman Arkham knight, Metal gear solid, Star Wars battlefront, rainbow six, Need for speed, assassins creed syndicate, Call of duty ( for those that like it), OH WAIT! there third party games silly me. I forgot no one plays those.

Yeah I cant wait for Inazuma elevent go and skylanders super chargers for 3ds. Yeah man there right up there on my list of top games to play wooohoooo!!! pfffttt..

Sly-Lupin3980d ago

Yeah. I'm sick of stupid consumers getting mad because developers/publishers fail to live up to their irrational expectations.

And these morons begging for a WiiU replacement have been whinging the same tired song since the WiiU first launched.

gerbwmu3980d ago

They just didnt have much to announce....whether their developers have moved on to the NX or they just don't have enough info to reveal what is going on with early developed titles....it was a boring presentation......although I loved the Muppets!

Still plenty of games for me and my tastes coming this fall and winter. Hopefully 2016 has a few surprises

How could they have a good E3 if they have already admitted a successor is in the works for the wiiU? Its only two and half years old.
At least it wasn't Virtual Boy bad.

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.

PRIMORDUS41d ago (Edited 41d 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.

0hMyGandhi66d 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.

AuraAbjure65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer67d 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.

-Foxtrot66d 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_Box66d ago (Edited 66d 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

Inverno66d ago

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

Eonjay66d 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.

Inverno65d 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.

Killer2020UK65d 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 🤷‍♂️
