Are you on crack? Wtf was that?? It was so shit!

I'm legit confused right now...its 50 minutes after the show start.. .has it ended???

They spent 30 mins speaking about EVERY SINGLE character in Smash bros and then started talking about their dietary habits.

What is going on??

-Foxtrot2912d ago (Edited 2912d ago )

You've just baited the Nintendo die hard fans...nice knowing you bro

Septic - Beloved N4G Shitposter ;)

2011 - 2018

Gazondaily2912d ago

Ah that's what I needed. Another fanbase to launch a fatwah against me.

I'm still sitting here confused btw...55 mins later...what happened here lol. Surely they must be trolling us.

-Foxtrot2912d ago

I just can't believe they had nothing on Metroid Prime 4...not even Animal Crossing at least.

Think about it last year when Nintendo apparently "won" E3 with a logo of Pokemon and Metroid in front of a black screen the reality now is that the Pokemon game we really wanted is not coming until next year, NOTHING WAS SHOWN, we get a crappy looking Pokemon GO infested game and Metroid Prime 4 had NOTHING for this year either.

We basically got trolled last year aswell and people defend them saying they had won when they revealed two new titles with a logo on a black screen. Microsoft and Sony at least show something even if it's a 20-30 second clip yet they even get called worse then shit for that.

Just got to love the double standards.

JaguarEvolved2912d ago (Edited 2912d ago )

I can't wait to see what the fanatics have to say about Nintendo's conference because it was rubbish. After the seven months of drought on the switch I thought Nintendo would have a lot of games to show. I already see fanatics talking about how smash will sell a lot of copies but not concerned about the lack of games on the switch.

MuddyWaters2912d ago

It started out ok but then it just kept going on and on with Smash until it was over, and I mean over.

That's fanboys in general.

Fanboys saying Sony won alone just with FF7 Remake & Shenmue 3 ect a few years back or the Xbox fanboys like Crapgamer on Youtube who thinks Xbox is the best at everything and uses the worst click bait for attention. On to the actual topic though, i just got home from work so i haven't seen Nintendo's direct but based on the announcements i've read there is no way they're the winners, Smash Bros and Fire Emblem is great but like you said i wanted to either see Prime 4 or at the very least Retro Studios project.

Confirmed, Septic wants fat Nintendo characters and doesn't care about the precise dietary needs of video game characters.

Concertoine2912d ago (Edited 2912d ago )

I don't think it was rubbish, but it was disappointing to say the least. Give it a C

No Bayonetta 3, no Metroid Prime 4? Nothing about SMT 5? Opening with the mech game was pretty weird. The only notable reveal for me was Fire Emblem, which im looking forward to. Once again Mario Party devs refuse to go back to the 1-8 formula, which we've all wanted forever.

At least Smash is coming in 2018 - that'll give me something for this year.

With all the leaks and the lack of surprising announcements, E3 feels more redundant than ever.

Neonridr2912d ago

I don't know about shit, I mean Smash Ultimate alone has a megaton amount of content in it. While I would have liked to have seen some other titles, my head is still spinning at how much is included with that game. It's going to sell like gangbusters.

Old McGroin2912d ago

Yup, no surprises at all and games like Metroid didn't even show up. Very disappointing.

Eonjay2912d ago

Septic,

it just goes to show you how fake most of these articles are.

2pacalypsenow2912d ago

lol did they really talk about their diets?

Gazondaily2912d ago

Lol nah...but it was ridiculous. It kept on going and going and going....

FullmetalRoyale2912d ago

Bruh. The Wii Fit girl has a different face.

RainbowBrite2912d ago

There's something like terrible wrong in this article when I even have to agree with septic

Aceman182912d ago

Haha, there's no way they won if you looking at it objectively, but these guys are looking at it through smash bros rose glasses hence Nintendo won.

For me they only had FE and OPT has the two games I would buy, but unfortunately FE isn't until 2019 😫😡

SuperSonic912912d ago (Edited 2912d ago )

Upvoted your comment.
That is my comment.

Up to this day and age still Nintendo os struggling with HD games development.

Switch is in essence a Wii U 2.0 or a should be called the " Nintendo PortStation ".

That's a hard sell. I think we ended at a stalemate all around for different reasons.

Servbot412912d ago (Edited 2912d ago )

No. MS showed great games, but 90% of them are available on PS4. Sony showed almost all exclusives. Nintendo showed ports, garbage and spent an hour on showing every Smash character patch note regardless of how minor. Nintendo was easily the worst, by a huge margin.

OC_MurphysLaw2912d ago

I tend to agree.... Nintendo was the worst of the big 3 and possibly worst of the show. EA and Nintendo both are fighting for worst of show in my eyes and I think I lean toward Nintendo filling that spot.

-Foxtrot2912d ago

Whaaaa? Urm no...it wasn't even an E3 Nintendo presentation it was a Smash presentation with friends.

Neonridr2912d ago

still.. that Smash game. Yikes. I can't believe they packed that much into that game. I mean how do they top that for a sequel?

G3ng4r2912d ago

Maybe they don't. It looks fast, could be the new melee.

Lime1232912d ago

I hope that it will be able to compete with God of War metascore (94) and sales (5 million sold after 1 month).

G3ng4r2912d ago

I hope gow or any ps4 game will compare to botw or odyssey metascore of 97. See how that works, scrub? Good to see you back.

deafdani2912d ago

@Lime123:

I don't know about the Metascore (although I predict at least a 90), but the sales? Yup, it probably will surpass even God of War. Smash is a monster seller.

Nintendo's presentation is over? What happened? I'm tying to find all the games, so far I've only found the new Smash Bros. I will keep looking, cause that can't be it.

ifinitygamer2912d ago

So obvious that this was pre-written. "The Nintendo Direct certainly had the best start with [insert game], [insert game], and the new [insert game].
This whole year has been a weird E3.
If Microsoft had gone last, they would've really stuck it to people by reiterating, "We showed off 50 games!" Literally every other presentation had less than ten each.

Neonridr2912d ago

Nintendo's had quite a few more than "less than ten". Maybe you don't count indie titles, I dunno.

ifinitygamer2912d ago

Fair enough, they had something like 14

Christopher2912d ago

I think there's a difference in 'mentioned briefly' and actually showing game content for more than a few seconds.

Of the big three, Microsoft showed more games on stage in a relevant way. They also had the id@xbox reel that showed more Indies than Nintendo.

gangsta_red2912d ago

Lost for words on this one. I usually praise Nintendo and their directs but this one was not a win. Smash is great and all and it's exciting to see every character included but I was hoping to see something else.

showtimefolks2912d ago (Edited 2912d ago )

This E3 was talked about by so many for so long and I feel like it's been very below average

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.

solideagle35d 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

Relientk7735d ago

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