I actually played this Zelda game today. It was actually really cool. I motion sickness because I haven't been feeling good recently, but it was really cool!

As the title says, I have work all day those three days and I really want to be able to go back and watch all of the livestream content at a later date. Is there a way to watch all 3 days of livestreaming after the streams are over? any help you guys could give tracking down a source to watch it from would be great!

Youtube

have they actually said they will be posting all the footage from the livestream on youtube? I thought that was just the Digital Event.

Neat! there has been a lot of interesting Kickstarters popping up recently.

Oh wow. An anti Nintendo article from the gamimg media site funded by microsoft. Shocking.

Heaven forbid one of those come out on the day Nintendo actually announces a cool new way to experience their E3 content.

the giants like EA and Activision i know will be around, i just feel personally that they dont dish out enough AAA games aside from their bread and butter, being the giants that they are. Ubisoft has stepped up above and beyond to me, I'm just concerned for this next Gen. 

I agree that Ubisoft seems to be the only AAA publisher that seems to know what it means to go next gen. Activision and EA are both pretty much crap. EA has a few interesting things with Plants vs. Zombies garden warfare, Titanfall, and Battlefront but that's about it from them.

 

Nintendo really does need to court the indie devs and the more independent studios like the people working on No Man's Sky and some of the neat projects showing up on Kickstarter. I would really like to see continued support from Ubisoft after watch dogs with the Crew and possibly even the division. I doubt it will happen, but that would be all the big third party support you would need along with the indie and kickstarter stuff to really have a powerful library!!

 

The only other games the Wii U really needs from third party would be Batman, Battlefront, and possibly an exclulsive FPS? Idk, but they really do need minimal third party support for a lot of the big blockbuster Microtransaction games. They do need the publicity for what it is they are doing though. The AAA scene is slowly fizzling out and I think Nintendo could play their cards right to get a lot of sales and great games during the second half of the life cycle if indies keep supporting it.

 

Kickstarter and Indies are becoming more ambitious as the competition between them is heating up. The Mighty No. 9, Space Pioneer, No Man's Sky, Armillo and many others are starting to look really good. I'd really like Unsung Story to come to Wii U also (Kickstarter). There are tons of fresh innovative ideas out there that will drive the innovation forward. If most of them can make their way on to the Wii U and they can be marketed correctly, then Wii U could become really competitive. especially if they added a few more features like voice chat to make the multiplayer experience more usable for co-op and competitive games.

 

It would be awesome if Nintendo found some way to get a multiplayer fps like Titanfall that they could get exclusively from a third party developer though. It's the one exclusive they don't really have. I'd be ok with a spin off Metroid series. Like Mario and Mariokart, have the first person adventure game Metroids and a competitive multiplayer Metroid game.

 

There's just so mmany good games coming to Wii U and it's a shame that many people won't ever know because they aren't being marketed correctly, though on that note I did see a Bravely Default commercial during the later hours Adult Swim on was it Cartoon Network? It was a cable channel in passing...

Not really a miiverse thing, but a party chat with the friends list would be great. I want to be able to talk to my brother through my console if we get online and play Mariokart or Smash together or even are just playing Pikmin or something separately.

Well he seems more game centric than the last moron so it should only be a good thing.

Wonder if he was in charge in the first place the console would have better specs, make stupid Kinect optional and focus on games from the start.

I agree with everything you said, except making Kinect optional. I've seen one in action, I've even watched it sign me in at my friend's house the second I walk into the room based on it's picture of me it has for recognition. I've watched and even just talked to the TV and seen it do exactly what I want it to. Kinect is WORTH the extra $100 and being slightly weaker. It's not being used in the same way the one on 360 was. It's there to supplement, not be the controller. 

 

Honestly, I hope Spencer can get Microsoft's internal game studios up to Nintendo and Sony standards as far as exclusives and IPs that give the console an identity of it's own. Only internal studios at Microsoft will be able to use the Kinect effectively as an enhancement of a game in a way that feels natural. As someone who has seen it in action, I'm a huge proponent of Kinect, though I would like a little more assurance from Microsoft that I'm not being spied on.

P.? Maybe I'm to old to understand these abbreviations....

I think he meant pretty good.

 

Anyway, I want to see a new Crystal Chronicles made for the Wii U similar in gameplay to the gamecube with online co op. I'd also love to see a full 3D Fire Emblem game. I'm also getting prety curious in SMT X FE. I've never played Advance Wars or Batallion Wars, but I'd love to give one a try on 3DS or Wii U.

has anyone noticed Captain Falcon hasn't been announced yet?

Yeah....I kinda hope they ease off the tons and tons of teeny tiny quests in exchange for less yet more involved side quests. 

I agree. I want to see more side quests more involved with the fleshing out the story and deeper characters developed in the side quests. The world is massive though.

I'll be curious to see how they use next gen power for things like that other than graphics!! Though those are looking like they are shaping up to be fantastic as well.

Well, thats what happens when you have stupid people targeting Nintendo for frivolous lawsuits like 'My child was attacked by an online predator via pictochat on ds!!!!!'* BECAUSE of that family image, and places like fox and abc news running with it full speed with not a single attempt at fact checking.

* (Pictochat DS was non online capable.)

This is a reaction to things people have done.

All Nintendo has to do is have people sign an agreement before they start using it saying that Nintendo is not liable for inappropriate conduct but they are actively trying to stop it blah blah blah and people have to agree with it before using the service. How do Sony and Microsoft handle it?

That being said, it doesn't instill confidence for a stage conference at E3 this year..

Sony never does learn do they.
They had one for PS2. No one seems to even remember it existed. They announced one a few years ago. Everyone has forgotten it. They they had another one I think and again no one remembers. People get excited each time Sony announces these things and every time they are forgotten 5 min later.

Look at all these things! Sony this is why you are losing so much money and having to shut down divisions is dumb carp like this.





Each one of those is from a different time. Different products same goal and they always fail. Sony is insane.

Nintendo has been pushing for a second screen in the livin room for ages going back farther even than the gameboy/cube. Maybe this gen will finally be the gen where each company's ideal gaming peripherals get jammed down our throats so we can all move on?

me personally thats why I dont care that it is not coming to Wii U. i will get the blackgate up port though

Um.. rocksteady is the developer who doesn't want to milk the franchise, but make a quality statement for gaming. I'm about 80% sure the only way Warner Bros was ok with Rocksteady making Arkham Knight was because Origins gave them money to profit on while they waited. Since this was the only way they could make their game, they had to agree to Warner Bros. terms. Rocksteady is one of the few truly innovative studios who has a track record as flawless as Retro Studios (well, since Asylum at least) and I will be buying a next gen console to support what will be the first true statement of next gen gaming.

I assumed 3 years was a normal development cycle. Origins didn't need to exist. It could have been treated like a Super Luigi U kind of deal. I have a feeling that the real reason Origins existed was because Warner Bros knew that with the kind of development time Rocksteady was requiring they would barely break even.

 

Essentially, Warner Bros basically demanded another game be made so they could keep profiting off the franchise while Rocksteady worked. Origins disgusts me, yet I still want to get it. Guess I'm a Batman fanboy.

Sounds like a perfect match.  I also played a couple of Harry Potter games on the original Xbox (made by EA possibly?) that were pretty darn good.

yeah, The first couple Harry Potter games for Sorcerer's stone and chamber of secrets are pretty good. And so was Quidditch World Cup if I remember correctly.  Side note- I always wondered why EA Sports didn't take Quidditch World Cup and turn it into a yearly sporting franchise for Harry Potter fans like they do with Madden and FIFA? they'd have every fan of the series in their pockets.

 

But yeah, the early Harry Potter games were actually really good, and the handheld ones made for some great turn based RPG gaming. I'd love to be able to do grind a party of my favorite wizards or just go on solo missions with Harry. (If you did a game where you played through an 85 hour long JRPG length format, you could open the game up from freely exploring Hogwarts onto other areas of the Wizarding world as Harry gets in to later years at Hogwarts etc.)

Seriously guys, What do you think? Harry Potter 1-3 got turn based RPGs on the gameboy color/advance and I honestly thought they were the best Harry Potter games I've ever played. The gameplay was probably the most solid I've seen in a licensed game like that ever. A game that actually got the budget and talent behind it could be an awesome way to experience Harry Potter's world.

 

Let me know what you think! Especially if you have played any of the games wishing you could have a good Harry Potter game!

This better be Rocksteady, and it better be an innovative groundbreaking experience like City was. Origins screamed cash-in from when it was announced, and Warner Bros has made it onvious since then.

Durrrrrr Nintendoh iz copyinng off of Titannfalll cuz Titannfalll haz mechs.  Respawn shud suuuuuuue Nintendohhhh!

Can't tell if trolling or just uninformed...

these updates need to actually have new features for the OS patched in, What the heck is Nintendo using their resources on if not this?  I swear Iwata is so hung up on the fitness and Wii sports/fit/etc franchises that all he can see are those and his new QOL personal project. I want to at least know WHY we aren't getting new features on the system and where that time is actually going.

Just making the whole menu system quicker. It's rather sluggish. Cross game chat obviously. Friends list and Miiverse being intertwined rather then having to go between the two apps would make it feels way more connected.

yeah, that's got to be their next step for the gamer. Giving them cross game chat. it's 2014 already. I don't care if it comes in more parental controls than you could possibly imagine as long as it has the functionality to chat with your friends and friends of your friends cross game.

The title says it. We've not heard a word about any possible new features that could be announced at E3 (the focus has rightly been on the potential games announced). I've got tons of things I'd like to see, thought I doubt most of them will actually happen.

 

1) Cross Game chat.

 

I know this isn't really Nintendo's thing, but a cross game chat system where you could even have video if it's 4 people or less and all of you are friends would be awesome. There are tons of ways to implement this in a kid friendly manner. Also, make this feature a part of the friends list app thing. It's the most logical place to put it and put the messaging system there too! This needs to happen because there are just so many moments in Nintendo gaming I want to share with my friends. My friends and I could all be talking to each other while taking our first steps into the new Zelda game and ooh-ing and ah-ing together, or talking smack on Smash Bros and Mariokart, or hopefully co-oping in X together. etc etc.

 

2) Updated Miiverse (potentially likely)

 

Miiverse has always seemed clunky to me. Basically a UI update making it more like a traditional forum/facebook would be really neat to see. I think an update of some kind is actually pretty likely as it's been the same since basically launch.

 

3) Greater awareness of online happenings.

 

I want a system of easily knowing what friends of mine are online and what they are up to and be able to join their games when possible (think the join game feature for 3DS). They have an excellent online community with Miiverse and I want to be able to track my friends in this community etc. This DOES NOT mean I want it to turn into and Xbox as far feature heavy, but I would like to see a few subtle changes to make seeing friends coming online etc more accessible and not tucked away in a menue. More or less an improvement of features already in place than adding all sorts of crazy stuff.

 

4) (a demonstration of improvement of the platform  in some form)

 

This one is basically a blanket statement that gives them the benefit of the doubt for something new or a feature I didn't know I want or am forgetting off the top of my head.

 

 

Let me know what you guys would like to see! I'm mostly about the games with Nintendo, but I would ilke to see the console get a little more diverse with the features. E3 is usually when a few new features get announced if they are big enough news.

 

*disclaimer* Not sure if this should be in the E3 section or not, but I figured this was probably the better place for it as it wasn't anything related to confirmed E3 news.

 

 

Yeah, that and probably work to reduce people hacking Wii U/3ds. I'm not expecting anything major in this update but was meaning their attitude to online in general has been above expectations.

 

They're getting there. I'm not cutting them slack yet, but I will acknowledge they are slowly improving. This generation is the generation of catch up for Nintendo. I'll be curious to see where they end this generation and start the next.

Guys! Donkey Kong TF is out. You know what that means? Mariokart 8 is the next big game we can expect to hear into about!!!!!
