Of course we will have a Zelda on Wii U. The promise of the great first party games is why I'll be getting a Wii U.

The real question is will we get a megaton announcement of a 3DS Zelda tonight! Nintendo has said they want to sell more 3DS's in NA and Europe and releasing a Zelda on 3DS (along with localizing more of the games in Japan) would be a very good start. Especially considering the other games that are coming (Luigi's Mansion/Paper Mario/etc.....). Personally, I don't think we'll see a 3DS Zelda now, but I can still hope!

So, I have been reading around and I think most people were not really happy with the turnout at E3. I am not a Nintendo guy. I have a 360. I am the type of person who likes shooters and sports games and power but, I was very excited about the WII U for the past year. I love the concept and who does not like a new system!? I have had a wii before simply to play Mario and some donkey Kong but that’s about it. I used to love the N64 and SNES so; I have had my share of fun with Nintendo in the past. Coming from someone who is not a diehard Nintendo guy, this is a bad start for them. Half of the 3rd party games look like they are either ment for kids or just some half ass game thrown together to use the new controller. Nintendo needed more time at E3. And what in god’s name was Nintendo land!? Really? Did they really need to spend a ton of time talking up a game that looks like its ment for a 12 year old? How do you end E3 on that? Where are all the big 3rd party franchises? Games like far cry? Or I don’t know... ANY EA sports games? How can you not talk about NHL or Madden or Fifa. Tons of people say these games are coming out for wii u but it’s not on that site with the list of launch titles. These games will all be released from august to October on 360 and ps3 so if Nintendo is planning on having these games on their system, how can you not mention it or have it released by xmas>? This system was supposed to appeal to casual gamers. What I saw today were games ment for kids or games that I could play on my 360 with the same graphics. And where is call of duty? I don’t care if you hate this game...How can you not release that game on this system? This just shows that Nintendo is not getting the picture. It’s not on that list of launch titles and again, if they plan on releasing it down the road why would I ever buy it on wii u when I can have the same game on my 360? To me, Nintendo is really not doing a great job. A year from now ps4 and 720 will be coming out and they will be steps ahead of Nintendo again. Nintendo should be getting MOST if not all games that are coming out for ps3 and 360 and having them released on the WII U. Some might say it’s unrealistic but in reality, it shouldn’t be. I am not saying it needs 75 games at launch but, this is not an impressive start


And I understand there are people on here who will strictly buy this because they love Nintendo and their 1st party titles and that’s awesome. I get that. But speaking from another audience of gamers........today was NOT the right step.

I have to agree. I own multiple Platforms every generation and I'm not a "fanboy" for any company, but I was excited for a new system. I knew it would be weaker than PS4 and Nextbox, but the reason I buy multiple Platforms every generation is because of the great first party Nintendo games and their innovation. So far, I'm not seeing that Nintendo magic right now. They truly BOMBED their press conference, for the 'Core' gamers, IMO.

It may go on to sale a ton of systems, but I'm very disappointed in Nintendo and this leaves me questioning the overall direction of the company. The company needs a breath of fresh air in upper Management, IMO. I love how Nintendo "does it their own way", but it seems "their own way" no longer interests me as much as it once did. Is it me, or is it them???????/

I have a feeling we will have more game announcements in the next 2-3 months. They may not make the launch window, but maybe there plan is that the Nintendo "fanboys" will buy the system day 1 regardless. About the time they start losing momentum they can launch some of the games that we are all looking forward too (Monolith's, Retro's, 3D Mario, possibly a key 3rd party exclusive, etc....). Then about the time that Next Xbox and PS4 are launched we will see anohter round of games such as Zelda.

I'll still be getting a Wii U on launch day, but only cause I have the money and I plan on getting multiple platforms next gen. If I was only planning on buying one Console next gen I would be waiting

New game unveil on Spike. PLEASE BE RETRO's title!

I'll still be getting Wii U at launch, but not near as hyped as I was previously. Yes, Arkham CIty, AC3, Darksiders II, Mass Effect 3, are all nice games but I can have them on my Xbox.

ZombiU looks promising and so does Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3 but I would like one more Core title ATLEAST.

Oh and where is Zelda 3ds?

nah its a good technique. they're doing it to attract people who are only interested in multiplats so they need to show it at the beginning otherwise those people wont watch the whole conference for it. when i tried watching the microsoft conference last year i got bored and couldnt finish it, that's why they will show it at the beginning

Agree. Attract as many 'Core' gamers (since that's the majority of who watches E3) as possible from the very beginning that way they are watching when they drop the other news. The Graphics, while they should be good, are far from what will define the Wii U and Ninty will have plenty of other huge announcements!
