Microsoft may have had the good looking games, Sony may have brought out some cracking trailers, but it was Nintendo that won this year’s E3 conference.
They had a great sense of humour, the games announced looked amazing (if a little samey – isn’t that the Nintendo way?) and there were some decent surprises to show that the Wii U is not as dead as we thought.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
Game Rant Writes "Mar10 Day is a fun yearly celebration of the Super Mario series, and Splatoon may warrant a fan-designated day of celebration in its own right."
How, exactly, did Splatoon reach heights rivalled only by Pokémon in Japan? New IPs from the House of Mario appear as often as shiny Pocket Monsters, yet typically move comparatively mediocre numbers or fall into relative obscurity behind the premium marques of Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, and Pokémon. Take Pikmin and ARMS, for example, which we adore but struggle to compete with the tentpole franchises when it comes to sales numbers or mainstream mindshare.
So, again, how has Splatoon risen to become one of Nintendo's most important series in Japan?
Nice article!! I enjoyed very much Nintendo's digital event and the treehouse later. She won E3 without press conference, thats not easy!!
About time Ninty! The Wii Uturn to the top begins!
Nintendo Treehouse was the best thing to happen in E3 in years- Nintendo really rocked!
