Nintendo E3 Direct – Most disappointing presentation this E3

Nintendo E3 Direct concluded not long ago and… it was very disappointing. There were some good announcement but overall it was very underwhelming. It wasn’t awful by any means but it di…

Did you even watch the EA and Square shows?

MichaelPyre2880d ago

Indeed. But I expected nothing from EA as its EA same with Square. Square announced to many games they have yet to finish to provide us enough new projects. Nintendo had most to prove. Their first year was great but it lacked 3rd party support, which I and many other hoped they will showcase this E3 they did not.

Nintendo's presentation was awesome as far as Nintendo Direct presentations go but absolutely horrible as far as E3 presentations go... I'm sure anyone already sold to Nintendo was happy with it ... The rest of us aren't any closer to wanting to buy a Switch. Horrible E3 for Nintendo.

-Foxtrot2880d ago

Yeah but I mean did any one have huge expectations for EA or Square Enix

People went into this thinking "Bayonetta, Metroid Prime 4, Next years Pokemon, maybe a new spin off Zelda"...we got Smash Bros as the biggest hitter, that's it.

DwightSchrute012879d ago

I can't believe I'm agreeing with foxtrot. But your absolutely 100% right.

It was smash direct not an Nintendo direct.

We also got two new pokemon games..... a new mario party, a new IP, a new fire emblem and some other goodies. Nintendo said going into this they were only focusing on 2018 through early 2019 products. They said they haven't stopped working on any of the other titles which are coming and there are a lot! Also I didn't hear anyone talking about a new spin off zelda.

Sony & Microsoft do one big conference a year. Nintendo does like 4-5 Nintendo Directs every year.

E3 is the main one but nearly every Direct has that much info...some more. This was for 2018 mostly.

Nintendo will give us another Direct in Oct.-Dec. and that will showcase more of what is to come in 2019.

That is where we will see those other games.

Also, Mario Party looks decent for the first time in years..Fire Emblem looks good....Daemon X Machina looks good. Pokemon Eveee & Pikachu look decent but we get a new core Pokemon game in 2019.

Yoshi will be in 2019 and we will hear more about other games as well.

EA was pretty terrible. Square Enix had no reason to do a conference. At least Nintendo was better than those two. Still it was incredibly disappointing for Nintendo. We didn't get anything we normally expected from them.

No Yoshi (and delayed), no Animal Crossing, no Metroid Prime 4, no Pikmin 4 (Miyamoto said it was nearly completed a few years ago so what gives), no Bayonetta 3, no Super Mario Odyssey DLC, no spin off Zelda.

It was very lackluster and had no "OH SH*T" moments besides Smash (which took 25 minutes to cover). They should have just said they were covering only Smash and be done with it like they did with Zelda BOTW. Would've had better expectations then.

MichaelPyre2879d ago

Yeah it should be smash direct then everyone would have leveled expectations. I agree square and EA was bad but we never expect as much of them as of Nintendo. So interms of disappointment, Nintendo was worse.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
