You're absolutely right.
Still, I think it's understandable to be excited that Nintendo is working on Star Fox.
It has more of a chance of being good than if it weren't being made at all.

Really? you honestly think this leak is the whole conference. I am out of this thread. Neogaf is so harsh on anything Nintendo.

Bloodborne was a crappy CGI trailer probably one of the worst ways to announce the thing. Even the Project Beasts images and gifs brought more hype.

Considering that Nintendo doesn't have a proper conference, woild they really be mad about this?
I mean, publicity in Time is pretty nice. It's not like the story came out a week early, it's the same day as the conference. A big splash is nice, but who really cares?

All three are bizarre investments. They would've gotten way more mileage out of a new Star Fox and Metroid in my opinion.
No Man's Sky was revealed at the VGX, so it couldn't be a showstopper. Abku looks to be Journey 2.0: Underwater Edition, so I can't say I'm excited for it.
Bloodborne was going to be their big "One more thing" and it would have been awesome if some asshole hadn't leaked it early.
I love how everyone at first is like "hell yeahhhhhh, super glad to see Star Fox back!" then as the thread progresses some pessimistic guys start posting about how Wii U is so much dead and how they need to stop doing experiments when in reality this are precisely the type of games that Wii U needs in order to showcase perfectly what the Gamepad can do and what makes it unique from the other consoles. And of course, if you don't like those control schemes, I'm sure is going to be an option to control it "traditionally" with the Pro controller. Nintendo is known for allow different control option on their 1st party games. It should be all good!

When is the press conference?
They could've brought a stick to E3 and said "This is the new stick we've researched and developed" and i would still want to play with it.
Throw the damn stick already, i'll chase it.
I love exciting news, but a title and still image of a game I didn't expect to see at all, that's going to be announced in 30 minutes or so....just kind of detracts from the fun of it, that's all. Especially since the lack of information has caused a lot of people to predict that the game will be the worst thing imaginable.
but from what i've read, it's basically the sin and punishment 2 control scheme.
we're getting sin and punishment 2: 2!
the other 2 projects honestly just sound like tech demos. which is fine, except it's not 2012 anymore.
It's just "known" that with the HD era, devs took less risks. The fact Nintendo released a new IP in a pre-HD era doesn't matter as much, AAA games like that were released all the time with that gen of specs.
I'm talking about this and last year's Nintendo. It just makes sense not to go AAA on all their new ideas, ideas that are controversial amongst the hardcore crowd that knows about them and might not even take off. If there's one thing Nintendo needs to take note of and work around (amongst many other things) it's the cynicism held over its experiments. Not saying you won't get stuff like Wonderful 101 still, but it's completely reasonable for Nintendo to be a bit low-budget on some of these experimental ideas.
I can't speak for him, but I'm not surprised, I'm angry.
Far from the worst. Keep in mind we had the project spark trailer earlier that day. Look up in a dictionary the worst way to announce something and that would be it. I think we will hear more about Bloodbourne behind closed doors and see more at TGS but the game is obviously a year away so I am not expecting much until then.
That is enough getting off topic. Doing a U turn back into Starfox. I am secretly hoping this game has 4-5 player co-op.
Nobody would play Slippy lol.

Wow.... cool beans! never played the star fox series.
the other two games i'm hoping it's not one of miyamoto's fps game.
the most i'm looking forward is Zelda U and hopefully Metroid announcement but keeping my expectation real low on dat one.

Well, as long as the business model is reasonable, I ain't complaining. If we can get less popular IPs in cheaper, fun packages, I imagine they could be quite palatable to the consumer. Episodic gaming is a business model that I've been hoping more developers adopt, because there's so much potential in it, and I'm utterly giddy that Miyamoto is doing it.
It feels like Nintendo is just checking boxes lately, and are surprised when people aren't falling for it.
What do you mean you want a Zelda game?! We're giving you two: WWHD and Musou!
We've got a weird episodic Star Fox coming! You guys like Star Fox, right?!
It's just not what people actually want.

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm or not but regardless it made me chuckle.
They patched in Pro support later.
I must say, in the age of google, bing and yahoo, I am still surprised that people ask questions on here that could be answered with an easy search.

Exactly. Everyone needs to read this.
Except nobody thinks.. maybe this was leak cause it's small and is NOT at the Nintendo direct .. ?
Yet being able to use the Gamepad in multiplayer is still absent.
For anything other than placing platforms, I mean.

You don't understand the difference between gyroscopic controls and pointer controls?
Remember, this is a control scheme that was supposedly impossible to do on the Wii since they worked on it for 4-6 years with no results.

It was awful perhaps not literally the worst but still awful.
No joke, me and my girlfriend were trying to figure out why the Gamepad was working to control someone in NSMBU, we didn't realise it wasn't actually possible.

I swear to god if Nintendo doesn't provide a way of playing Star Fox without tilt controls I will be so jaded to everything.

Uh, that game supports GamePad, Wii Remote and Pro controller.
Mario Kart 8 also has a shit-ton of controller options.

That's good Nintendo but they won't sell on your underperforming system! Boohoo on you!

The example you give uses any control combination you can think of. What a horrid attempt.
wait, i thought the gamepad had pointer controls. oh no. my dreams have been shattered. so the controls will be more similar to controlling Samus's gunship in Nintendoland...
shit.

I need to see the control scheme before I get too hyped about Star Fox. This is the same guy who thought the Gamecube controller was a good idea.

That's a Nintendo thread for you...
Anyways, I'm pretty damn hyped and I just woke up! OuO
Instead, they got the best game of the entire new generation.
