- Start date
It's not like Majora 3D isn't coming we all know that's in the pipeline. All Grezzo have released since OOT3D is Flower Town.
It might even come out this year, they are just saving a few announcements for later in the summer.

Certainly didn't expect this, that's for sure. Not really sure what to think of it right now though. I do generally trust in Intelligent Systems; they've earned that wait and see approach at least.
And not to bring up this dead horse again, but I do get why people complain when a game like this is announced over a new Metroid, F-Zero or Mother collection.
Yes, it is hypocritical to blame Nintendo for releasing the same IP's like Mario and Zelda time after time, to then dismiss this new IP as soon as it is announced. BUT, at the same time it is also understandeable that even though people might be tired of Mario and Zelda, they at the same time could be craving the return of other older IP's that are generally ignored (again: Metroid or F-Zero, but also Kid Icarus and Star Fox).
Ideally, Nintendo would fill its releases equally with new games in mainstay series, frequent new IP's AND frequent returns / reboots of older IP's that fans care about. It is that third category that older Nintendo fans in particular care about the most and which is generally ignored by Nintendo the most (hence the build up of hope and hype each time and then disappointment if an announcement again turns out to be a new mainstay IP or completely new IP that will take time to grow on people).
This E3, Nintendo is (imo) showing that they do understand their fanbase, more so than the last few years at least. Fingers crossed then that they will find ways to cater to all of their fans in the future by mixing up their releases and frequently returning to IP's that go back to their roots as game makers.

No. See the other threads about the game.

Looks like Kirby to me.
Huh, the team reminds me a bit of the Forever People
It REALLY looks like forever people!
I remember having to look for things about them when I was workung on DC Scribblenauts, so we could draw them.
Yep, the jack kirby incluence is strong.
The opnly thing I dont really like right now are the weapons.

If i looked at that boxart without the knowledge that it is a Nintendo game made by IS, I would have completely ignored it as a shitty generic 3rd party game.

That's exactly the problem. :/
Why does it have to look so bad ? I mean it's an IS game so I want to play it, but how can we end up with such a generic shovelware design ?

Not really feeling this, but then I've never sat easy with strategy role players not called Final Fantasy Tactics. Give a new action game IP, then great, but I'd take something more traditional over this.
I wouldn't be surprised if Aonuma is borrowing Grezzo and possibly Monolith stragglers again for Zelda U at this point. Zelda U already looks like it could be the biggest production in Nintendo history.

On the cover art I'm partly in the "Okay. I'll buy it on eShop" *runs away crying* camp.
I kind of get it is going for comic book bit of pop-art look but it just seems oversaturated and an eyesore as a result.

+ Intelligent Systems
+ SRPG that draws inspiration from Valkyria Chronicles, but will be more of a "shooter" (hrm).
+ The art style reminds me of Freedom Force. HELL YES.
I'm goddamn in. Can't wait to see the polish / changes over the next year + of development.

Echoing the general sentiment, it looks like hot butt. Developer has me on board but I don't know if I want to look at a game that looks like this for more than 5 minutes

I played every Fire Emblem and Advanced Wars game, I LOVE IS.
But the artstyle in the Box AND in game is eye straining.

Looks great to me. I'm digging the art style. Has a Genndy Tartakovsky vibe for me.

I'm sure the gameplay will be fantastic, but yeah the look is pretty bad. Honestly, the lack of technical power of the 3DS is really starting to catch up to the system.

Doesn't look very good, but a strategy game by Intelligent Systems will undoubtedly be great.

I'm not a fan of the art style, it sounds better on paper than it looks, but the game itself sounds intriguing.

Yeah, its really sad how a few still screenshots managed to completely destroy the wave of hype people were having last night. Hopefully the gameplay that's coming later today will change a lot of minds.
I personally don't get why people think it looks like shit, I think its cool that a Japanese developer can produce a western pulp comic artstyle so well. Not everything has to look like Fire Emblem, people.
definitely looks EBA-ish. i like it.
Ok this art style is starting to make sense, though it still hasn't quite clicked for me yet.

Nintendo fans: "We want a new IP"
*Code Name gets announced*
Nintendo fans: "It looks ugly! WHERE WAS MAJORA'S MASK HD?
*Game gets announced in January*
Nintendo fans: "Another remake? Nintendo needs new games"
... It is like an endless cycle!

It's annoying as hell... As a nintendo fan, I am glad to see Nintendo working on new hardcore game ideas and IPs. People need to wait for the treehouse today and see this game in motion. It will probably look fine..

Game instantly wins due to resemblance to Freedom Force.
I'm glad it's a new IP too. I hope this somehow becomes a huge hit and then gets a call-up to the Wii U in a future installment.
...I still hope we get Metroid/Majora's Mask/etc on 3DS soon, though.

That is the official name? That's weird. Also I like the idea, but the screenshots just don't look all that to me, looks kinda like an iOS/Facebook game. I'll still watch the demo today though before making final judgement.

To be fair, the art style is pretty garish.
Still, I'd rather have this than another Zelda remake.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'm still baffled at the lack of trailer.

That's part it as I was hoping for a new Metroid.
But I also hate SRPGs, even lite ones like Advance Wars. So this continues the trend of new Nintendo developed or funded IPs being things like this or W101 etc. that are genres/styles of games that I just don't like.
I grew up on Nintendo, but given that trend, that I'm super burnt out in Mario and Zelda, and that they ignore IP like Metroid that I still enjoy I just need to finally accept that Nintendo just isn't for me anymore and let go of the nostalgia I guess.

They are going in depth with it today at the treehouse, so stay tuned.

And Star Fox is coming next year. I definitely agree with you about Metroid and F Zero though, the Wii U is crying out for those right now.
This for me too.

Yeah...I feel like people heard the words HP Lovecraft and steampunk and strategy shooter and then imagined something gritty and dark, and then completely ignored the parts where they said it was based on Jack Kirby and Mike Mignola.
Splatoon looks awesome and is a new IP. This just doesn't look appealing to me regardless.
