There is not a hope in hell that nintendo could win E3

iamnsuperman5480d ago (Edited 5480d ago )

You say that but a new console generally wins E3. The only way it will not is if it doesn't live up to the rumours or it is more casual gamer focused. They have a good shot especially with new hardware

Fishy Fingers5480d ago

Actually, I'd say it's currently Nintendos to lose.

BiggCMan5479d ago

No hes's not, Nintendo had an incredible showing last year. Sony also had an amazing showing. It was really only Microsoft that had a bad one. Thats how I see it anyways. I still look forward to what they will show though, I don't choose sides.

jack_burt0n5479d ago

if what u went for was to oggle at a dodgy 3d screen, and the total fail that was the skyward demo.

Shok5479d ago

I take it you didn't watch their conference? Lol. They announced quality title after quality title, and then blew the lid off the 3DS.

A slew of quality games along with a new hardware announcement = an unbeatable conference.

Anyone who denies that Nintendo's conference was pure quality is just a fanboy =)

Etseix5479d ago

i certainly dont like the games nintendo show (except for RE and Metal Gear naked) for the 3DS on their conference, BUT, it's because i just dont like those kind of games, leaving that aside, i can tell Nintendo won the conference,

Nintendo>Sony>commercia ls>internet ads>MS . yes sir.

Spitfire_Riggz5479d ago

Nintendo definitely has the chance to win. A console stronger than the PS3 and 360 with a brand new online system (that works) and a sweet lineup of their amazing first party titles we might have a winner.

I do see Sony contending with good NGP news though.

Nintendo won last year in the eyes of many, by presenting a non-stop lineup of good looking games, and unveiling the 3DS for the first time. It's not inconceivable they could do the same this year with Project Cafe.

rabidpancakeburglar5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

yes I am a fanboy, isn't that clear. The ps3 won E3 last year though

That was meant to be a reply to shok

Shok5479d ago

Oh, you admit it. Ok then, no point of arguing with you lol.

soren5479d ago

with all new first person shooters? u like bleach then means u like action shows huh? then y u buy a ps3 XD yes i know my comment was retarded

N4g_null5479d ago

Wow that site sucks. Really WTF!

GamerPops5479d ago

If you have any constructive feedback to improve the site, PM me. I'm always open to listening to ideas.

N4g_null5479d ago

Maybe later. I'm use to the lush graphic sorry man. I guess the better question is what and who are you using to code the site? There are lots of college grads that need experience also. Picking a simple graphic theme can help you also.

The writing content can get better also. You know nintendo got a new vp, maybe do a piece on that and why that means they are going hard for the hardcore.

I'm sorry I can be quite cruel in critiques. I just expect better. Thanks for responding professionally and hopefully I can get you on my bookmark list.

VersusEM5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

I will admit that Nintendo won E3 last year, but Nintendo is just not for me, I mean come, you guys have to admit that its kind of for the casual market, they have a couple of hardcore games, but like I said it's not for me.

stealth500k5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

yeah last year layton, paper mario 3ds, dk country, kirby, golden sun 3, dragon quest IX,oot remake, mario kart 3ds, kid icarus

are soooooooooo casual

@ below?

are you joking or serious dude? Whats hardcore to you graphics or difficulty? Not one of the games you listed (aside from demon souls) is difficult in any way. In fact they are downright casual.

you need to learn the definition of hardcore and casual.

VersusEM5479d ago

uh yeah they are, When I think of HARDCORE, I think of inFamous, Uncharted, Battlefield, Halo, Killzone, Gran Theft Auto, Gears of War, Demon's Souls, etc. That's just me, I'm not trying to diss Nintendo, but come on. Not everyone is going to like, same goes for PS3, & 360.

Imalwaysright5479d ago

LMAO according to your logic the games you mentioned are casual too.

N4g_null5479d ago

I think he is a pop gamer. Those games are popular to a certain few because of their friends. This is confused as hardcore gaming because there is some ok competition online.

Actually hardcore goes against the easy to find and play games. It's weird how some gamers past likes don't line up with what they like now. If you can say that you can't play an older game now then you might have been playing it for the wrong reasons.

Hardcore gamers don't play old games for nostalgia they play them because of the game. Which is why story only with ok game play doesn't get played again.

To real gamers there is no retro gaming or casual only pc, console and arcade.

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.

PRIMORDUS39d ago (Edited 39d 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.

0hMyGandhi64d 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.

AuraAbjure64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer65d 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.

-Foxtrot65d 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_Box64d ago (Edited 64d 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

Inverno65d ago

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

Eonjay65d 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.

Inverno63d 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.

Killer2020UK64d 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 🤷‍♂️
