So Reggie clearly had this guys family hostage. He seems terrified.

Hopefully we're done with all the horrible banter now.

Already more interesting than the crap yesterday.

Haha, he probably did.

Also, third party games. Half Life 3...DS? There is no way in hell but how fucking hilarious would that be?

Awkward Silence

Two non-dancing games in a row? I think that's a record for this E3.

Gah, a Castlevania game, must resist urge to buy a 3DS.. must wait for redesign whenever that happens....

Mickey looks like the old Disney games with Ariel on the PC. Nostalgia might hit, especially with the paint.

Oh great, now I have to help people to level up. :/ Mario Papier.

Conference is extremely predictable!

#362 Edited by theoldhouse (439 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

yeah this stuff should all have been in the main conference. I know they wanted to concentrate on the wii U but they clearly didn't have enough.

Paper Mario! this is enjoyable! not an emotion I have yet felt at E3

#363 Posted by NekuSakuraba (6811 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

Looks like fun, Paper mario is pretty awesome.

#364 Posted by theoldhouse (439 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

It looks gorgeous and I am very glad to see it's turned based again.

#365 Posted by NekuSakuraba (6811 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

Kingdom Hearts time, fuck yeah!

#366 Posted by hershelgeorgelives (78 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

Are they really not gonna talk about Animal Crossing, how long could that game take to make?

#367 Posted by Ducksworth (630 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

hmm...I'm liking the trailers and everything but something that we don't already know about would be nice.

#368 Edited by NekuSakuraba (6811 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

Oh fuck yes, it's coming out on July 31st? On my birthday? ON MY BIRTHDAY!

Fucking awesome.

#369 Posted by NekuSakuraba (6811 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

The hell is Threediots? xD

#370 Posted by Ducksworth (630 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

It's been a good conference. I'll let that slide.

#371 Posted by hershelgeorgelives (78 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

Threediots looks like the dumbest thing I've seen in a while.

#372 Edited by DeadlyWolverine (32 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

We've learned nothing new, this was just a reiteration of coverage seen before the show.

#373 Posted by hershelgeorgelives (78 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

That was great until I realized they wouldn't show a single new thing, oh well, some of the games look great.

#374 Posted by DeadlyWolverine (32 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

Fire Emblem: Awakening Confirmed for North-America.

Haha, I saw this posted on a different forum and came here to post it. Had no idea someone from GB made it, nice job dude.

It's amazing that one of Nintendo's biggest reveals of E3 software-wise wasn't even announced at any of the conferences or displayed on the show floor.

#377 Posted by DeadlyWolverine (32 posts) - 11 months, 11 days ago

@Hailinel: You said it! It's incredible, I don't understand how none even talked about this. It seems to me pressure is getting to Nintendo of North-America executives. Is Reggie stressed? He looks lost most of the time, and his uneasy subordinate was making the conference awkward.

Oh god you really did make this, remember you from your SSX video. 
 Best thing to come out of this conference, thank you.

Regarding the Nintendo Press conference (not the 3DS-focused separate conference)- Did we all just see a different conference? What was Nintendo thinking? I was in absolute disbelief that almost literally nothing came out of that conference. Oh boy, starting off with Pikmin 3, that must mean we're in for a good ride! Dear lord, were my expectations shattered when it ended on Nintendoland and everyone was still in their seats as if to say, "that's it?!?!"  
 
Their conference was absolutely abysmal, and it's even more salt in the wound to find that games like ZombiU, Assassin's Creed 3, and P-100 were being shown outside of the conference. Why was that not shown at the actual press conference? That entire press conference was bullshit, they were basically showing stuff to an audience that did not exist in the crowd, and an audience that did not exist anymore. Casual gamers are basically done with anything new, they got their Wii, and they got out with games like Just Dance 3 and Wii Fit. They're not going to go buy another console for the same things to play "Wii Bum-Slider" and "Elderly Waitress Simulator".  
 
Show the core what you've got, Nintendo.
