The View From The Street On The Day Before E3

The pre-E3 walk of the LA Convention Center and its surrounding area is a tradition here at Kotaku. Take a look at the stuff our folks on the ground will be tired of looking at by the time the show ends. Except Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé. Who could ever tire of that cheerful mug?

Nintendo should fire the clown in the picture.

Lonnie183028d ago

I agree, this guy is worst than a fanboy always talking about innovation but bringing the same o Mario and Zelda crap!

SquidBuck3028d ago (Edited 3028d ago )

Anyone else think Nintendo should go 3rd party for consoles? They'd probably make more money that way.

ONESHOTV23028d ago (Edited 3028d ago )

what smart a-- comment you have here why dont your favorite company go third party they would make a lot of money as well. ND has been around longer than sony and MS if they get out of the console business then you are the one losing because your favorite company is going to robb every penny out of you. what do you think happens when one company has monopoly over everything do you think they will listen to you? no they will not they will just say since we have 100% shares who will challenge whatever we want to do.

PizzaSteve3028d ago

If NX fails they will. I have a feeling that if it happens Nintendo may just sell their rights to Apple or Disney because their pride won't let them put their most beloved franchises on a Sony or MS console. The industry is moving too fast for Nintendo to keep up and eventually they will end up like Sega.

ONESHOTV23028d ago

oh let me look for my glasses i don't wear i think i will have to mail it to you since you need it more than me. the difference between ND and the rest is that they have investments in other areas like the handheld section where as sony tried and failed their consumers (myself included) MS has no interest in it because they have other things to keep them afloat. another thing the last time i checked the 3ds is out selling sony and MS so what's that talk about ND falling out wouldn't you say sony is the one in hot water.

“There is a lot of talk about A.I., for example. When that happens, everyone starts to go in the same direction, but that is where Nintendo would rather go in a different direction."

Good on Nintendo for not chasing the next big thing.

Aussiesummer18h ago

Well nintendo has always been about innovation so I'm not surprised.

KyRo16h ago

Always? I feel the last time off the top of my head that they were innovative was the 3DS/Wii era. They are very successful at what they do but I wouldn't say they are as innovative as they used to be.

Venoxn4g16h ago

Well, in my opinion they have popularised hybrid console which is the Switch

KyRo15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Your opinion is correct. There's no denying Nintendo's influence on the handheld market that's paved the way for the ROG, Steam Deck, MSI Claw etc but apart from the dock to get a small jump in power, it wasn't really revolutionary, even back when it launched. It was a more refined concept of the Wii U which again wasn't new or groundbreaking back then either.

Aussiesummer7h ago

What the switch wasn't innovative? Cmon.

SeTTriP3h ago

He was saying that's what they strive for and that is a fact.do they always hit the mark?. no but it's in they're design philosophy all the same.

badz14918h ago

LOL simply because they don't want to invest in it and stick to their outdated approach. See the next pokemon game on Switch 2 will look like something that should come out during the PS3 gen

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

So a custom art style vs GTA trilogy style mistakes through their games

I'll take the art style thanks

WolfSeed18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Translation: We'll wait until it's cheaper.

" very high quality "
That's only true for one of the two though, and we all know which one that'll be.

DarXyde21h ago

I promise, only one of them will.

And it's the one that is the better franchise and respects the historical context of the region.

Hotpot21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

Dude’s getting the sweat because star wars outlaws underperformed, and that’s with far smaller controversy compared to AC shadows.

Extermin8or3_18h ago

The AC shadows controversy is fucking ridiculous though.

Abnor_Mal21h ago

Well of course, but AC: Shadows will be on more platforms so I would expect it to sell more than Ghost.

raWfodog20h ago

I won’t be buying either until 2026 though lol

Can't wait to hear how the corporate bootlickers defend this.

seanpitt235d ago

This is the world we live in and people seem to think it's acceptable

Cacabunga5d ago

550 probably consultants.
GTA6 is in tweak phase, no need for massive number of people for that.

PRIMORDUS5d ago

Best way to get rid of people like this is to make them disappear, permanently.

purple1014d ago

Bury them deep, plant an endangered species of tree ontop- body can never be recovered 🧐

Don’t ask how I know this 😂

JackBNimble4d ago

So don't support take 2 by buying games... pretty easy to vote with your wallet.

Profchaos5d ago

They also just held a leadership vote I don't think there was any changes

Software_Lover5d ago

I really don't even think CEO's should get bonuses. If I were a CEO and I made millions, I would like to think I wouldn't. Or if I had to legally, I would maybe find a way to disperse among the lower tier employees. Take my bonus and turn it into stocks to disperse out to those employees evenly.

DarXyde4d ago

That would be the way to do it. Imagine thinking a CEOs "leadership" is worth that much money while the talent makes the product.

Insanity.

FinalFantasyFanatic4d ago

I remember when I started working, my department manager used to gift us stuff each year, one year I got a bottle of Scotch, another it was a small basket of treats... But that was also a lot less money than what we're talking about here.

It would be ideal if the CEO could gift a bonus to everyone under them.

thorstein4d ago

Monetary company bonuses (often referred to as Christmas bonuses) were astoundingly common.

The entire premise of Christmas Vacation was set around Clark's bonus.

MrDead5d ago

CEO's work for shareholders and are shareholders they also rely on share price to receive their multimillion dollar paydays and they will happily fire thousands to protect shares. CEO's are there to extract the most value out of a company and give it to the wealthy few.

redknight805d ago

That is so god damn fucked up!! Unfortunately...I know damn well I will be still buying their games but shit like this should seriously have some sort of repercussion of some sort. 550 people get their lives totally up-ended and the leadership get a bonus on top of an already high salary. 25M could set those 550 people up with an annual salary each of $45,000. Depending on where you live, that is a very livable salary even...
