Nintendo in 2012: Is There Anything to Look Forward To?

GamerFitNation writes: "2012 is finally upon us and with a new year that means new games, peripherals, devices, gadgets, and hardware, etc… Now Sony and Microsoft have a pretty decent amount of releases for this year with Sony Launching a new handheld next month and Microsoft always looking to improve upon Xbox Live and its Kinect hardware. What does this mean for Nintendo? It seems like Nintendo has the least amount of steam going into the New Year, or do they?"

Nintendo seems to have a pretty solid lineup for the 3DS, I'm really interested to see if Nintendo pulls things together for the Wii U at this years E3.

I'm very interested to see what Nintendo has to show, more interested in a price point. If they can show me a new console with HD Zelda, Mario, Metroid ect... and price it $350 or lower, I think they will do well.

It looks like you will be using a tablet to look through to view your big screen hdtv.... Umm, okay... I think that only might be interesting and useful if they release a game like "where's Waldo??" and judging from its game lineup, I don't think next gen will be here till Sony and Microsoft release their new consoles.

MidnytRain4480d ago

Lmao, "Untitled"? Where did you copy and paste this from?

He says as much in his post.

Can't wait to see more on Wii U. Really, little is known about it... I want to see software, prices, specs, apps.

theeg4480d ago

i think the wii u is going to be really cool and will be succesful, whether or not it will be a purchase right away for me remains to be seen and hinges largely upon whether or not there are some awesome, core ip's

metroid, zelda, resident evil, baten kaitos(i wish),castlevania

get a few of those in 1080p at 60 frames per second and you got my money nintendo!

ronin4life4480d ago

I thought they had the most steam going into this year, seeing as how they have the most games and an entire console with it's own as of yet unannounced games.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 23h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger881d 22h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies1d 12h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
