"Wishing for new information on Pokemon Sun and Moon isn’t exactly crazy, but what I want is a release date and I don’t think we’re going to get that for a bit."

We have a release date, November 18, 2016

Also Nintendo confirmed the NX was not going to make an appearance at E3 2016

ABizzel13643d ago

1. Games and tech demos announced for NX, even if the console / hybrid / handheld doesn't show up at the conference. A good collection of tech demos can give us an idea of what to expect for NX.

2. 3rd parties: Bring out Square, Sega, Ubisoft, Capcom, and Activision with the promise to bring more major 3rd party games to the console.

3. 3DS & Wii U's last hurrah. Zelda U, Pokemon Sun & Moon, and more.

4. Announcement of a full NX reveal for holiday 2016 / early 2017.

If Nintendo hits all 4 of those points, this is will be a great E3 for them IMO.

You clearly have no clue what warrents a good E3..........

NX will get its own event which is better than showing it at a dying show like E3. Holiday 2016 is also not the best launch time for a new console. That has been proven with the most successful systems.

ABizzel13643d ago

Bashes others opinions of what they want to see, doesn't bring anything of use or worth to the conversation, you sir are exactly what's wrong with gaming in 2016.

1. New hardware is always exciting to see or at least hear about. We're not seeing NX at E3, so the next best thing are tech demos, and game announcements from 3rd parties.

2. Nintendo needs 3rd party support so it can move from being a niche Nintendo exclusive only console, to a global multi-million selling console that can once again rival the PS and Xbox brands in market and mindshare.

3. 3DS and Wii U are their current platforms and on their last 1 - 2 years (possibly months in the case of Wii U), so seeing the last few games and a couple of reveals for them would be good. Or is E3 not about games anymore to you?

4. An announcement TIME FRAME of WHEN THE NX will have a FULL REVEAL, not launch would set Nintendo up for an anticipated holiday reveal or early 2017 reveal. And no the most successful systems (specifically consoles) have all pretty much launched in the holiday season.

Dying show like E3? That's why lot's of people including yourself will be tuning into E3, right? ;)

Stealth20k3642d ago

E3 has the fewest people attending ever, the fewest devs attending ever.....

slasaru013643d ago

What predictions, lol. They said they were gong to show only Zelda

gamerb63643d ago

Erm no they didn't say that, they said Zelda will be the only PLAYABLE game not the ONLY game they're showing.

Learn to read. Idiot

wheresmymonkey3643d ago

They've already said. they're showing Zelda. and that's it.

gamerb63643d ago (Edited 3643d ago )

No they didn't, they said Zelda will be the only playable game not the only game shown.

Jeez so many retards on this site

wheresmymonkey3643d ago

Yes they did. here's a direct quite from the press release...

"The Legend of Zelda for Wii U will be Nintendo’s focus of the show this year, and will be the only playable game in Nintendo’s booth via extended demos.

Nintendo’s kick-off to the E3 show happens at 17:00 BST on Tuesday 14th June, when Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime introduces Nintendo Treehouse: Live, which will be dedicated to a day of live-streamed gameplay of The Legend of Zelda. This will be the world’s first in-depth look at the game, which will also include commentaries by Nintendo developers. The Legend of Zelda gameplay will be streamed from the E3 show floor via Nintendo’s Twitch channel, and will include game coverage, behind-the-scenes info, and plenty of fun."

Stealth20k3643d ago (Edited 3643d ago )

They are not showing only Zelda

gamerb63643d ago

Read the quote and understand it properly. It says Zelda will be the ONLY PLAYABLE game! Not the only game they are going to show. They will show other games they just won't be playable at e3.

Stealth20k3643d ago (Edited 3643d ago )

We will get some announcements. Mother 3, along with showing all the other games. This article is clearly before yesterdays news, although nobody should have assumed it would be only Zelda

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

How is that unsportsmanlike conduct? What a stupid decision lol

gold_drake47d ago

lol wut.

since when is bumping fists "unsportsmanlike".

Inverno46d ago

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

SethNW46d ago

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.

How about the original Legend of Zelda remade with the Echoes of Wisdom engine. Maybe throw in added dungeons, or expand the map to make the game longer than the original.

meganick62d ago

A Zelda 1 remake would be great, but not with the Echoes of Wisdom art style. I find it unappealing.

Neonridr62d ago

I'd even suggest a Link to the Past as well. Would love a more modern HD look using the Links Awakening / Echoes engine.

jreeves8262d ago

I would like Twilight Princess HD for Switch or Switch 2.

Redgrave62d ago

A movie trailer, or nothing if Mario's was anything to go by
