Nintendo Changes E3 Plans, Will Show More Than Zelda

Today Nintendo announced that they plan to talk about more than just the new Zelda at E3 later this month. Don’t get your hopes up: there’s still no press conference or Nintendo Direct planned. But at least they’ll show off some other games.

They never said they were only showing Zelda they said its the only playable title and as far as we know thats still true.

They literally said it man. They are backtracking on it and that's good.

Kalebninja3634d ago

Can you find a quote? Because I don't recall that.

nintendo are going to suffer a humiliating defeat at the hands of sony and microsoft this e3.

nintendo think one playable game is enough to satisfy the curiosity and interest of gamers and journalists. they are wrong. even if it is zelda.

nintendos strategy for e3 is symbolic of their strategy for gaming in general- they put all their eggs in one basket. not everyone likes zelda. omg shock horror.

people have diverse tastes, people want, you know, more than one game to see and most importantly, PLAY. its a freaking game show. GAME show, you know, that interactive medium where you hold a game pad and press buttons. one game isnt enough.

having one playable game at E3 is actually an insult and a snub to e3, gamers, journalists and the entire industry.

the consequence will be that journalists simply wont have much to report regarding nintendo. their reports will be lacking any enthusiasm since they only had one game to actually play.. their reports of sony/microsofts floors will be much more exciting, since they will be treated to a RANGE of titles.

treehouse is crap since its nintendo staff/paid devs playing or talking about their own games. you wont get an unbiased view. just an extremely corny, long and drawn out promotion. its a bad format.

nintendo have blown 2016

You're kidding yourself if you think we won't get unbiased views from sony or microsoft either. sony and microsoft have far less criticism leveled at them than Nintendo does. You, superchiller and sk8ofmind are the biggest Nintendo haters on this site, unwilling to see anything positive about Nintendo. It's pathetic. I wonder how long you guys have worked for sony or microsoft.

Microsoft? Do you mean, the device without exclusives?

Axonometri3635d ago

That many sq feet of floor space makes it hard to justify so little use. Something else is up their sleeves. My guess.

deafdani3634d ago

Wrong guess. They are using all of that space for Zelda. They will only show other games in video form at the Treehouse event.

Seriously, you and everyone else need to accept this already. It's been clearly confirmed by Nintendo, so to expect anything else will only lead you to disappointment.

GordonKnight3634d ago

Pokémon sun and moon should be shown, but it probably won't be playable.

deafdani3634d ago (Edited 3634d ago )

@GordonKnight: yes, Nintendo confirmed they will show Pokémon at the Treehouse event, along with "other games" as I already stated on my previous post.

But again: the only playable game will be Zelda. Which is what the almost entirety of Nintendo's show floor will be dedicated to: Zelda U demo stations. This will probably be the biggest floor space ever dedicated to a single game in E3 history. Nintendo has already told the press to expect to have around 90 minutes of demo play for Zelda U. That's bonkers if you consider that usually, demo play for most games at E3 range from 10 to 20 minutes at most.

Bottom line: we probably won't get much info on other games besides Zelda. But we will get bombarded with Zelda information, for sure, to the point that we probably won't know what to do with so much info, lol. For example, I shudder to think what GameXplain's Youtube channel will do with all of this demo playtime, seeing the absurd amount of information they're capable of extracting out of a 30 second game trailer. XD

No, they only said that Zelda would be the only playable game, not that they would not show other games as well.

Thats a relief. You can't just take one game to e3, that's litteraly an insane decision .

ZeekQuattro3634d ago

They said Zelda would be the only playable game meaning it will have demos the attendees can play. At no time did they say they weren't going to cover other games for Wii U or 3DS. When have they ever had an E3 that showcased only one game and zero else? Some people are just plain slow. You can't teach common sense. lol

Hope its eternal darkness.. a man can dream

They keep renewing the TM so they must be wanting to do something with it

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle17d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
