E3: Nintendo Conference

Nintendo was tied in second place for me with Ubisoft this year, main reason Nintendo did take first place was the fact it seemed ... well last minute. Like they was not sure what to talk about, the whole conference they kept saying there was too much to talk about in the short time they got. Well stop saying that and use those minutes for more trailers! plus the 3DS was put into another conference the next day which was then missing most of the big games (Animal Crossing and Professor Layton to name a few).

Personally I was surprised they did not just turn the Wii U on, there was some great games shown but it would had been so much better if they picked up the game pad and shown us what happens when we switch it on then played those games.

As I mentioned just a minute ago there was some good games shown, Pikmin 3 looked amazing and in full HD as well. The water looked amazing which makes me chuckle since that line is always used to describe the HD in games. Anyway I was big fan of the first one but did not get much time in the second one, really looking forward to giving it a try and the pad features sound good. Was also surprised how awesome Super Mario Bro's U looks, not exactly a Marion fan myself but I might pick this one up. Love the features where you can get tips from other players appearing on the menu, reminds me sort of Demons Souls with the messages left on the floor.

I could not stop grinning also when they put up the details for Batman Arkham City Armoured edition, using the pad for detective mode!! omg! also they did everything I wanted with the fact all the menu, gadgets etc are on the pad and the TV being pure visual.


So overall they did good but it could had a been a lot better, right now I think I will be getting a Wii U but I really really want to see more footage. Show the menu off, put a game in, show us a fully working one instead of having it sit on a table. Need to see a lot more games too, they have a good start (Mass Effect 3!!) but I want to see the full line up for launch and the months after. Also 3DS!! don't forget this console again, where are the games!


That's it for me with this post and I don't forget to comment with what you though of this conference, good or bad I'm all ears!
