Nintendo Direct disappoints

AttackOfTheFanboy: Today’s Nintendo Direct video conference was a bit of a let down for those that were expecting big news out of the company following the release of the Wii U. Nintendo spoke mostly about known games, little about the future of the new console, and introduced apps for the device that have very little to do with video games.

Nintendo direct is for the fans of Nintendo but disappointing for everyone else who aren't dedicated fans. I would think they'd talk about big titles coming out in the future or near future but they didn't. To each his own

ronin4life4156d ago

Well, they did say it was going to cover already announced games in more detail. New games or games coming later should never have been anticipated.

Though, it was still less than satisfactory there as well...-,-;

herbs4156d ago

I'm pretty sure this is disappointing for almost everyone except maybe you. You live off negative Nintendo news like some kind of bottom feeding urchin.

metroidfusion24156d ago

Ha ha lol why are people assuming things just wait and since wii fit u was on the runored game list and it is coming out that is a possibility that all the rest of the games are coming too and of course a lot more

I don't understand why they make these shows where they tell us stuff we already know about. I can see how it is informative to non-gamers but what non-gamer would go online and say "hey i want to watch nintendo's Nintendo Direct so i can find out what i can get for my console" No. Those people wouldn't care enough to know this show was online.
I think the only ones interested in watching a Nintendo Direct are people like me, a gamer, with my Nintendo 3DS or Wii(U) in my household, because i'm excited to see new games or hardware being revealed!

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga1d 23h ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas1d 21h ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj1d 21h ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger1d 16h ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS4d ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz4d ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins4d ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
