Nintendo E3 2014 Conference - Now Finished

[GameWinner]

Let It Die (the new Suda51 game) and Ratchet and Clank remake (obviously) are confirmed exclusives, it's still up in the air whether Bloodborne and No Man's Sky are, as well as some indie shit. But it's more so a punch of those exclusives plus all the third party biggies like Call of Duty, MGSV, Destiny, Diablo III, etc.

My main point is why buy a Wii U for exclusives when you can get your share of exclusive games on a PS4 plus all the multiplats that you want.

Bloodborne is being published by Sony and Japan Studios is helping so that's exclusive while No Man's Sky is a timed exclusive.

You're saying you would buy a Wii U if it had the exact same games as every other system? Instead of exclusives that you can't get anywhere else?

Here's a thought, maybe it would be a better deal if the system offered everything other systems offer minus their exclusives and Nintendo content? I know, sounds crazy, doesn't it?

Well kinda makes my mind made up on buying a PS4 then (although the XB1 never seemed my cup of tea) as Bloodborne should be good but I'm still torn on No Man's Sky. Interesting concept but whether the game will actually be fun is another thing.

Crazy? On GBATemp? Nah

If it had exclusives plus multi or exclusive third parties...

And I'm saying I will buy it once smash is it

Essentially it's a choice between "Nintendo exclusives and watered-down-and-few-and-far-between ports" and "*Insert Company* exclusives and multiplatform titles", the rest is a matter of taste in games and technology.

Here's another thought, maybe Nintendo has been working to get third party devs (and they have lots of indies already), but third parties continue to decline it for petty reasons, just so Nintendo can be blamed for it? Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

My point is that as long as you already have a PC or other system (mainly PC, since it has the best specs), you really can't use the "I wanna play multiplats" excuse. You play a system for its exclusives, and Nintendo was the only company that really delivered this time around.

Well it looks like they are still trying to market the system as a Kid/Family friendly device, and avoid all content that might appeal to a broader crowd...

...which makes me wonder, why did they hire the Robot Chicken guys to entertain the crowd, and why feature Ice T as a playable Mii, when neither are or have ever been family or child friendly? Is this their way of marketing the unit to a "more mature" crowd?

Well I will say that Zelda did look like it could appeal to a broader crowd base, but that was the only game, though that's not to say I am only interested in Zelda, I love some of those old cartoony looking games and am especially excited about Yoshi's Yarn, though still, if this presentation was an effort to appeal to a broader audience, I think they have failed.

Ah yes, the Nintendo Victim Complex. The whole world is against your favourite company, I'm sure this has nothing to do with their crappy infrastructure (there was some hubbub about feature integration in Nintendo Network) and historically unfavourable licensing deals. Developers will go wherever they can make money - if Nintendo's giving them a hard time doing that then they will obviously ignore the platform that gives them petty profits.

The conference was actually pretty solid, better than I expected.

Xenoblade X looks nice (except for those ass character models), Zelda looks chill although I would have preferred the more "realistic" art-style they showed before and Bayonetta 2 coming with the first game means I'm definitely going to get it.

 

[TyBlood13]

That was pure awesome.

Come on mon it made for a change: Nintendo expects the big gamers (for which e3 is really for), have already sat through 2, possibly all 4, me-too presentations - that's 3-7 hours of some dev waffling on about their game, rinse & repeat. It's not gonna go down as something I'll never forget , but it made a nice change!
And I'm not that sure about the family only audience with Bayonetta 2 anyway, the first one was never a game I'd fire up in front of me bible bashing mother that's for sure, and this looks no different.....

.....Agreed with Yoshi though! STILL love Kirby's Epic Yarn, if they reproduce some of the ideas that had and mix it in with a platformer to rival the first Yoshi's Island we could be in for something really special. Want a bit more of a challenge this time though - Epic Yarn was all about your score, keep that to that game please lads

Do you have any comprehension of how to run a business?

Many people share the opinion that Nintendo has lost the capability to deliver appropriate hardware and should switch strictly to software development, their greatest asset - can't blame them for that.

 

[Gh0sti]

will the Mii Fighters take up 3 character slots or just 1??

And i'm sure Nintendo laugh at those people in their boardrooms.
