[RedEther]

Every other game shown at this conference besides Zelda/Mario was kinda booty tbh

 

[RaptorGTA]

when are US preorders!

Oddly this was absent. Whats up with that?

 

[dafodeu]

So we are going to get a new DS after all

 

[perfectchaos007]

Keep in mind we didnt see
Smash Bros
Pokemon
Monster Hunter
Metroid
Platinum Game
From Software game

E3 is gonna be lit

Switch is gonna be a beast

I like how you left out Retro. We all know they won't show anything at E3

 

[orioto]

Let's see the positive of that annoncement ok. I was afraid it would be hard as fuck to find one at launch. Now i'm confident it'll be ok.

 

[Sagroth]

BotW looks amazing, but it'll also be on WiiU. I see no compelling reasons to buy this at launch. Even Mario is a year away. I thought they were supposed to be delaying to have an amazing launch lineup?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I knew most of you'd hate it, but I couldn't be happier.

Mario looks incredible. Zelda looks incredible. Splatoon 2 looks incredible. Xenoblade 2 looks incredible. And that ARMS game looks incredible!

I'm no less hyped than I was before. Now, lemme' pre-order!

 

[metalslimer]

Zelda and Mario looked incredible. Other than that...Jesus christ Nintendo I don't see what they are doing to make this not be another Wii U

 

[Seanlole]

And here I am, selling my soul and my ass to get the 299 dollars by march 3rd.

 

[enzo_gt]

The whole presentation and focus of this console just seems so oddly similar to the Wii U. You would think after that disaster they would have learned their lesson and pivoted, but it feels like the same combination of "Here's a few bones for Nintendo fans and Oh yeah Casuals please put down your iPhones and come back to us!" Right down to the token western third party support (replace Mass Effect with Skyrim) I just don't see anything so far that makes this more compelling to the general audience that rejected the hell out of the Wii U. Nintendo better have a lot more wildcards up their sleeves for the post launch period.

Nailed it.

And they won't. We know this. It's pretty much shameful to even have hope that Nintendo will change at some point. We know they wont, and it's been several generations now of this. Different management they say, renewed focus on third parties they say, Nintendo finally modernizing it's platforms they say. Same outcome.

 

[Majukun]

people were realy overhyping the conference if they expected more than what we've seen...actually they had more third parties that i imagined...

yes,there's no reason to buy the console day one..but there's NEVER a reson to buy a console day one..even when you thing there is,there isn't

and yes,this thing is not going to have a huge success and probably it will be nintendo's last console..but that's how things are,they can't compete anymore on equal terms..hell,at he moment microoft doesn't seem to able to compete with sony.

 

[Toxi]

Was that fucking F-Zero? I saw a boost meter.

 

[mjp2417]

Zelda looks amazing. Good lord

 

[sqwarlock]

Sure Zelda looks good, but that's it? Seriously?

 

[KSweeley]

Zelda looks awesome however the rest of this presentation was pretty shitty. Price is pretty expensive as well for the Switch.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I need to see that Zelda trailer again, too hype.

 

[serenewarfare]

I mean end of the day

You're goddamn right I'm gonna pay $300 to play Zelda

All that needs to be said for me, really.

 

[theonerayman]

The most important question now is..when can we preorder!?!?

 

[Dark_3nergy]

No pre-order open date for USA? All I heard was 21st Japan for pre-orders to start.

 

[megarockexe]

But the real question is, when is Zelda coming on the Wii U so I don't have to buy a Switch in March?

 

[Dope Skill]

Extra joycon set is $80? And the pro controller is $70?

Yikes!

 

[Shamrock7r]

My summary of the events

 

[Permanently A]

this is so sad man, how does nintendo do nothing for 2 years and all they have to show for it is a 300 dollar console with paid online with 2 launch titles, one being a wii u port? I don't get it man

 

[Stat Flow]

Horrific conference. Mario and Zelda looked fantastic. Everything else was disappointing at best.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Zelda is still coming out for the WiiU right

I am just going to play it on that and wait it out to see the switch gain some flesh and bones

 

[wildfire]

that 300 price point hurts

and the fact this shit has NO pack in game is unreal

Paid online is potentially a big downer as well. Still getting this at launch.

 

[SeanR1221]

Switch is now a 100% wait for me.

Mario won't drop for at least 8 months.

1,2 Switch and Arms look bad

FIFA! SKYRIM! wow...

2.5-6 hours of battery

and the worst part. 300.00

Nintendo, what is wrong with you? Who is this being sold to?

 

[Pastry]

I still don't understand what will be availble at launch.

 

[psyfi]

So uhh, when can North America pre-order this? They only mentioned details for Japan, right?

 

[Compsiox]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but that was a grand total of 2 launch titles wasn't it? 1 2 Switch and Breath of the Wild...i can't see that helping its chances for success...

They were supposed to be holding back their games for this too

 

[Saint Gregory]

That Zelda trailer... someone help me get this sand out of my eyes.

They should've just stopped playing around and called this console the ZeldaBox if that's all they're going to launch with.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

I overslept... where can I watch this NOW! All those spoilers...

Fuck.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

My mama said if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say it

But forget her, this was really bad. The Wii U + a Zelda game. Dont like it one bit no siree

And that Zelda trailer was too anime for me, Zelda crying and bathing and screaming come the hell on

 

[GodParticle]

Is zelda coming to wii-u? If so, I'll just play on that. Certainly not paying 300 for 1 game

 

[NippleViking]

Going to wait 24hrs on it, but think I'll be cancelling my preorder. Library clearly needs another 8-9 months in the oven.

 

[Owensboro]

PLEASE LET ME KEEP THE JAPANESE DUB


PLEASE
AFFORD ME JUST THIS ONE THING

Worst case, it's region free. Time to learn Japanese.

 

[pariah164]

Dat Zelda. Dat Mario. Skyrim.

SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI.

Take my goddamn money Nintendo.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Zelda and Mario look fucking amazing.
But that conference was terrible. Nintendo has nothing for launch.
The Switch is already fighting an uphill battle.

 

[dragonflys545]

This is only going to sell to the same group of people that bought a Wii U... I know I ain't falling for that shit again.

 

[Omadahl]

I'm so conflicted. I was ready to buy my first console since the PS3 and they just made me think about buying a Wii U just to play Zelda...

 

[Kaako]

I will absolutely play that glorious looking Zelda game. I sure as shit will NOT spend $300 on a fucking Switch though.

 

[Frillen]

Zelda is enough for me day one, but damn, it's so close to Horizon: Zero Dawn.

 

[schuelma]

How do you not have the full launch lineup in everyone's hands right now?

 

[yoonshik]

I already miss Nintendo Direct. That was boring as fuck.

 

[RedZaraki]

I just want to know how different the Wii U and Switch versions of Zelda are going to be. Quality-wise.

If they're bang-even then I'll just get the Wii U version.

 

[Coda]

My summary of the events

Yikes, exactly. Like I thought they were gonna cater to the hardcore audience this time around.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Yeah, Zelda still looks good, even if the weird green fog they've drowned it in is apparently present in both versions, but I'm going to need to see massive improvements in the Switch version to make it worth paying another 300+ quid for the Switch version over the WiiU.

Right now, that was a he'll of a lame conference. Some great looking titles a long way off, but Zelda and Mario aside, I don't see any real reason to buy it this year.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Wow, incredible presentation!
Good looking software for the most part, really curious about the hd rumble etc, Zelda looks great.

And mario.

Holy Shit, that mario.

 

[He1nekenP1ss]

mediocre conference. Lots of bad news: Price, paid online, not a game in the box, not many launch games.
With SMT and Xenoblade latter on, the console will be more desirable

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

Keep in mind we didnt see
Smash Bros
Pokemon
Monster Hunter
Metroid
Platinum Game
From Software game

E3 is gonna be lit

Switch is gonna be a beast

It launches less than 2 months from today, and no day 1 software lineup confirmed yet. Are you mad?
