"Nintendo will once again be a no show at E3, well in person that is"

E3 ≠ Press Conference

Ummm E3 is an expo - Nintendo will have a strong presence at the Expo, like every other year. Spreading misinformation makes you look bad.

Please be more informed! Thanks

There a no show in terms of being on stage in person like MS and Sony. Tune in to the show

bobacdigital3644d ago

I like how every site is pumping headlines by saying no show. When in reality Reggie and Iwata and the crew will by at e3 like they were last year. The Nintendo booth last year was huge LOL.

DaGamingKing3643d ago

Yes they'll be there this year too. But for what? To talk to people on the show floor or to say come and have a quick go at this game? The press conferences are the biggest part of e3 where everything is unveiled. Sure Nintendo will be there, but being on stage, presenting, annoucing and having the world tune in to your conference IMO is far more appealing that what Nintendo did last year and this year. By the same token then, MS and Sony should just hold live streams as well? I sincerely hope not.

Doing it live is tough, compared to pre-recording a message.

bobacdigital3643d ago

MSFT didnt do themselves any favors with their press conference live lol .. Were you there ? Did you see how bad it was? Do you see how robotic every single presenter is?

You realize Nintendo has closed door meetings / Conferences with press and developers while they are at e3 right? Last year they held a private conference with gaming press to let them play and review the games first hand before it hit the show floor.. Also they had developer directs with all the devs from the games at e3...

The stage show is not that big a deal anymore ... For people who dont go to the event it is no different than actually being there .. You are going to see them do a presentation and show off new stuff... For people there they can still view the event at Nokia theater (Which Nintendo rented out the entire event) or at the Nintendo booth in person .. Yes you wont hear fanboys yelling and screaming .. But for the people who dont go to E3 this changes NOTHING.. You are going to see the digital event linked everywhere and n4g is going to link from multiple sites what was said in the direct. Face the facts .. The world isnt the e3 show floor which is mostly comprised of gaming press .. It is the ONLINE audience which is what Nintendo is focusing on. If Nintendos Digital Direct has some heavy hitters and really good announcements you dont think the gaming press will go gangbusters?

Out of the 5 things they listed on their Agenda 4 of them are going to be on the show floor in person... The rest will be coverage running the entire event at e3. How is that

New Smash Brothers Tourney @ Nokia Theater - E3
New Smash Brothers @ Best Buy - Local
Nintendo Digital Event - Online / E3
Nintendo Tree House Events - Online / E3
Nintendo Booth - E3

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.

Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.

Rebel_Scum101d ago

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga101d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro100d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos101d ago

You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.

ZeekQuattro100d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.

Rebel_Scum100d ago

Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.

Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.

LucasRuinedChildhood101d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds100d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name100d ago

Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.

Phoenix76101d ago

Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.

goldwyncq101d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing1101d ago

Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.

Batman: Arkham Origins - Open World Busy Work that Doesn't Hold Up 10 Years Later

Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.

Petebloodyonion181d ago

I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).
