Nintendo's Been Killing It This E3 Conference

From being open with third party developers, to showing up at Ubisoft's E3 conference - Nintendo has been killing it during this years convention.

Nintendo win this time !

[ScreenCritics]

Certainly they've made the most of the conference. Showing up at Ubisoft, showing up Sony when it comes to cross-play.

Good times for Nintendo.

How so? It's been typical Nintendo cutesy mascot stuff. Mario Odyssey looks pretty good, Colorful Kirby side scrolling, A black screen that said Metroid Prime 4, and Little Big Planet knockoff Yoshi game, Oh and Mario meets Rabids, cause Rabids is one of the most popular games ever. I'm not saying it's bad but to say they smoked everyone else at E3?? I see nothing really different from Nintendo other than their usual colorful first party stuff. Is this going to win over core gamers from XBOX One and PS4?

[bouzebbal]

nintendo being themselves, nothing more nothing less.
im getting tired of the same franchises.. i really wonder how they can stay motivated to work with the same characters for decades..

Odyssey looked really shit to me..

[About30Ninjas]

@Lightning Mr Bubbles how is Yoshi a lil big planet knockoff when Yoshi came out first

[septemberindecember]

@bouzebbal

Well you'll be happy to know that Xenoblade 2, Arms, and Splatoon 2 do not contain characters that have been around for decades.

i disagree. here's why. nintendo was by far the wrose. sony was criticized for being 1hr, while nintendo clocked in at 25 mins. sony was criticized for having what amounted to a string of trailers, well nintendo didn't even have that! they just said they are working on a pokemon game, no trailer no tittle nothing. and they didn't give much more with metroid prime 4. at least you got a tittle that time. presentation wise microsoft bested them both with 40+ games, over 90 mins and broken up with announcements of new hardware, release date, price and features. Seriously you have to be extremely biased to not give MS the credit here. any one of the other platform holders show new hardware would of been an instant win. we're talking the most powerful console clear graphical boost over the nearest competition. games showed looked next gen, like metro exodus and anthem. thats not even to take away from sony because those games are coming to sony as well, but won't look and play as well as they do on one x.

another area microsoft bested them was being the only platform holder to announce new features, OG xbox compatibility. plus large sweeping updates to existing games. There are already more games confirmed getting 4k support and updates within hours of the conference than there is for ps4 pro in all the months since it's release. seriously the witcher 3, RE7, DOOM and many more.

back to nintendo, they trot out a new kirby. well god damn, how is this diff than so many of the previous kirby games? it does nothing new for a kirby game. then after yoshi island game on 3ds and yoshi wholly world we get another yoshi game. seriously who was clamoring for that or excited about new yoshi? and then the fact that DLC is making nintendo's e3 presentation isn't good. nintendo charging money for dlc that includes new difficulty level mean while microsoft dropped one of the biggest updates to gear 4, many new maps and modes all for free! on top of the previous free content since launch, and ms didn't even mention it at e3 they got it out of the way before e3.

You speak a lot of truth but ninty fans dont want to hear that. Mario and xbcx2 were the only nice looking games... Kirby, rabbids, yoshi all were a yawn fest no matter what fanboys say. How nintendo fans love everything nintendo does i kind of wonder like did we just watch the same thing? Im going to find a nintendo hater and make them play the 3ds to see if it has brain washing abilities 😂

[Bronxs15]

games for switch look like up res ps2 graphics. character model lack so much detail. it's like ps2 when characters had blocky hands and fingers no details like fingers nails for example. mean while microsoft is dropping the most detailed graphics ever seen on a console in true 4k. unacceptable from nintendo since they want to market the switch as a home console, the even reiterated that in their presentation. they should call it a portable and be done with it. mario oddesey gets tepid reaction like what the hell are they doing with mario? not the instant omg this is amazying reaction we got with mario 64, galaxy, or mario 3d world.

lastly, it's annoying how nintendo is. the switch marks the first time a company has released a new console generation (from wii u to switch) where the previous console (wii u) could absoloutly play all the games being shown off for the new system (switch)

There's no reason nintendo shouldn't be release the new pokemon game, all those japanese games, the new kirby, mario, yoshi games on wii u as well. wii u runs zelda breath of wild just fine. and any of those other games can be run on the wii u. nintendo is shafting their customers hard. people shouldn't have to pony up money for a switch when they have a device that can play it at home. nintendo are not as good as microsoft in this respect. a company like microsoft could of handled it more competently. imagine having two systems like the one s and one x but the "wii u" and "wii up) (portable) games could be on both, the wii up or switch could offer enhanced versions much like one x does and portability. and nintendo would have a larger user base witch to sell games too.

and by the way, there is even precedence for this by third party's games like shadow of mordor came out on ps4/xbox one and ps3/360. last of us on ps3/ps4. microsoft offering backward compatibility. why are there not wii u / switch version of games? or why doesn't the switch offer some kind of wii u back compat? nintendo dropped the ball hard and should be called out for all the short comings, not praised. at this rate it's no wonder their fans and shareholders alike want them to release games on iphone and go third party.

When u realize Switch is a 6.2 inch tablet not a home console. The games look incredible when u consider theyre portable.

[Rebel_Scum]

Cos every game needs to look realistic ay. Gimme a break.

[PigPen]

It's time to party!

I knew Nintendo can do it.

[EddieNX]

Metroid Prime 4 is what Nintendo fans needed to hear. Nintendo means business with Switch ! And The Pokemon announcement confirms Switch is their 1 platform. Both make me very excited to own a Switch, theres TONS of games coming out also.

[CocoaBrother]

I feel they announced Pokémon because people were upset last week with the Pokken announcement but there was never a doubt a mainline Pokémon game was coming.

Metroid Prime 4 was announced too to show fans that it's coming but I'm really hoping some footage will be shown during the Treehouse event.

All in all, it was a good 25 minute presentation

[The 10th Rider]

I think, at best, they'll show some behind doors footage of Metroid like they did when they first announced a Star Fox was coming to Wii U.

[darthv72]

Metroid prime 4 was my personal fav even though it was just a title reveal. it gives me hope and something to look forward to when getting a switch. Only thing to make it better would be a new FZero but FRL is making up for that drought.

Paper Yoshi (cardboard) is just too damn cute and who doesnt like being mario in a T-REX?

[The 10th Rider]

Nintendo approached Criterion about making F-Zero a few years back (Criterion declined because they were too busy at the time), so clearly Nintendo's aware of the interest and they're actively looking to make another. I think we will see a new F-Zero game before the end of the Switch's life.

[WPX]

That Yoshi game was looking really slick. And I didn't know it was made with the Unreal Engine 4.
Pretty neat!

[gangsta_red]

That Metroid for 3DS will have me dusting off my device very soon.

[Elda]

Personally what I saw at Nintendo is what I've always been seeing & that's their typical first party stuff that we've been seeing these past generations which is not a bad thing at all..that's just Nintendo.I didn't see anything mind blowing at all but it's fine that Nintendo is still putting out stuff that their known for which makes their fanbase happy which keeps Nintendo going.

[sk8ofmnd]

Xenoblade chronicles x 2 and mario odyysey were impressive... Everything else was filler. Dont care for yoshi, kirby, or rabbids...

[Gh05t]

Since getting your hands on a Switch is still a nightmare I cant say that its a great show, They should have announced how they are trying to meet demand. The only thing worse than not having games to play on a console is not having the console to play the games.

[MagicBeanz]

Killing it must mean something different now cause I haven't seen much of anything from them.

[About30Ninjas]

Nintendo is killing it so many great games coming this year and beyond the Switch could be Nintendo best console ever

[Auron]

Why no animal crossing for the switch Nintendo?

[SR388]

Ninty kicked the shit out of Sony and Microsoft... Two Metroid games nuff sed
