Here's Itagaki's response about the rumours from his Facebook page:
"Guys,
Which do you believe me or such site?
The world brims over with lies and rumors.
Thanks always, mates."
Seems like he's calling BS on this already. The embargoes and NDA's are expiring today(?) or very very soon at least.
Its nothing new: http://bit.ly/1J678hD
Shouldn't this be labelled as 'rumour'? No one involved has said anything like this, it's just the words of a report from people who have nothing to do with the NX production.
Here's a post made on Itagaki's Facebook page about this very issue, with response from the man himself. Make of it what you will: http://s14.postimg.org/s9na...
More than likely we'll see them in the StarFox Nintendo Direct. Which is pretty damn cool because they are so adorable and were the funniest thing to happen all E3. Plus that walk cycle they have is just so badass...i want a muppet remake of Reservoir Dogs!
Then the sentence after the out of context headline reads: The developer claimed that this was due to the fact that the studio wanted to make absolutely full use of the Wii U’s unique system capabilities (e.g. the gamepad), and did not want to disappoint fans by simply releasing an identical port as the other console releases.
Their an indie dev with kickstarter money, so costs are a main concern for them especially when releasing multiple versions; and if they want to give t...
To a certain extent i too believe there are people out there who won't buy a Nintendo console, simply because it's Nintendo. The GameCube received hate afterall simply because it was purple. Specs of the hardware didn't matter then when it and the Xbox was going up against the PS2 ...but i digress..
Even though there are fanboys who will stick to a single console out of company loyalty, there are people out there who would buy a Nintendo console if it offered them the best...
The only thing that holds hope for me is that E3 is only a week long and Nintendo do have their Directs throughout the year. They still have games to show off which haven't made an appearance at E3, for whatever reason, and they need to really sell StarFox considering it's their big holiday game. So i think we should expect a few Nintendo Directs over the coming months so they can really have info blow outs on certain games; Devil's Third, Project Treasure, Fatal Frame, the aforem...
Soooooo....where's Devil's Third? Fatal Frame?
They are 2 of my most anticipated games, coming out THIS YEAR! So why the f*ck has their been no news whatsoever about them?
'We only show games at E3 which are soon to be released'...isn't this the third year in a row we're seeing XenoBlade? Didnt we also see Bayonetta 2 at two E3's before it released? Now its Mario Makers second E3 and yet all we've had from Devil's Third since it was...
This game is probably going to be my biggest of the year, challenged only by Fallout 4. Something i would like to know though about SMM is; can you play the levels going right-to-left or is it only left-to-right? They might have shown that off or it could have been that bonus game they did for NES Remix(?). Either way, i think it would add to the absolute insanity of the game if you could choose whether to mess with peoples gaming instincts like that :P
The hype is alive still for cer...
Why doesn't the kid just ride the luck-dragon/dog?
They destroyed a lot of stuff in the demo just by crossing the road - or is that an allegory for Mankind in that, In our pursuit for the unknown we destroy what we already have...
Think i need sleep..or more coffee..
Just another one of life's conundrums
.
i dunno about that. It did cause this hilariously 'heated' back and forth; http://i.imgur.com/4HPhf2g....
Out of those:
Devil's Third
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
Star Fox Zero
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
Super Mario Maker
and maybe Yoshi's Woolly World
Not too bad tbh, its a varied selection at least
In lighter news, the first PC E3 event currently has a twitch chat literally filled with '#haveawank'
Kinda disappointing that "Transformation" was Nintendo's word of the day but they're the only ones missing out on Platinum's Transformers game.
TBH, its not just Nintendo's showing but there were some things i saw this E3 which worries me about the future of gaming.
Still, StarFox looks pretty cool and Fallout 4 is already made a sale. I just dont understand why Nintendo left so many gaps....they have other games we know about (Devils Third even has...
Off topic but i've just thought; what happened to the news about Club Nintendo's replacement service?
If only there were an event or occasion centred around gaming, where they could have shown off this latest info......
Anyway, i cant wait for it to be released as it will be my first FF title. Heard nothing but good things about the series as a whole and should help scratch that horror itch i've been having lately.
