BNR: E3 may only last three days, but a lot of news and previews come out of those few days. So many new games are revealed that it can be quite the overload for gamers. And with the introduction of two new gaming consoles hitting the market this fall, there was a lot to be excited for.
Every year the Big 3 (Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo) have high priced, over the top conferences to present their new software and plans for the coming year. This year was the same with the exception of Nintendo. Rather than spend a large amount of money for a two hour conference on stage, the company decided to stream their conference online in the same way they have been doing the Nintendo Direct videos. This was a smart move on their part, since both Microsoft and Sony would be showcasing the many games that would be coming to their next gen consoles. And since Nintendo had already released the Wii U, this allowed them to show us great software in development for the system that would tap into the functionality of the system’s gamepad. This was Nintendo’s moment to go big and wow us with games that would look great, play well, and pull in more sales for the console.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Nintendo failed because all they showed at this years E3 was a bunch of trailers with not much gameplay of their games
. also Nintendo failed E3 2013 because most of the things they showcased were typical 1st person shooters and a bunch of War Games, you know the stuff big boys are into, not one UNIQUE game at nintendos booth like sony or microsoft brought (: . .
ha haa Nintendo showed nothing but trailers, kiddy game trailers that cater 0nly to families . not like sony or microsoft where they showcased truly Adult rated and gory content with crazy < gamePlay like bayonetta 2 at sony and microsofts booth hua haaa
freaking nintendo, is time to grow up!!
They are too traditional, thats why. They are stuck in their ways and seem torn over going back to where they were and wanting to recapture the success of the Wii.
Iwata needs to go though, it's time to change things up
Monolith Soft's 'X' tells me they didn't fail. I want that game and I will get a Wii U for it.
The only thing that fails is the site that put out this "opinion piece" (of course that's a given with the name of the site).
I don't know what this guy expected. Did he NOT want a new mario game? Would he rather they DIDN'T show smash bros.? Why is it that Nintendo loses points for things they didn't show like "Earthbound" and "Chrono Trigger" (wtf), yet they gain no points for what they DID show?
He doesn't mention how cool the X trailer was. He doesn't mention how EVERY trailer had gameplay in it. He doesn't seem to care at all that these games ARE what Wii U needs and he acts like they should've shown something different?
Honestly this is more of a criticism of the Wii U rather than a criticism of Nintendo's E3...
