    Default Nintendo's E3 2012 Official Thread

    Nintendo has already done their pre E3 announcement video, but they still have their keynote on Tuesday. Please keep the Nintendo E3 conversations here!
    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    I hope they can save E3 because so far it's a giant flop of failure



    Life!? ... What console is that on?

    Well, its the final year of the generation. It's not surprising that there isn't much but sequels and rehashes on offer.

    I also wonder what value E3 has other than selling to retail buyers, which is, hey! what E3 is actually for. Publishers and developers can reach the gaming audience any time they want now: Twitter, YouTube videos, blogs, ARGs, podcasts... there are much more efficient ways for marketers to display their goods.

    Maybe next year we'll see the new boxes from Microsoft and Sony, and some games that take advantage of the new hardware, but I think we're just as likely to see the reveals on G4 or MTV.

    I most wanna see if the 3DS XL rumors turn out to be true.

    I really like the 3DS but the more I use it the less comfortable it is. I think a lot of the problems I have with they system could be remedied by simply making a bigger model. That and having a larger 3D screen "could" mean that the 3D effect has a larger viewing angle which would be great since a lot of the games gyro-styled targeting kills the 3D effect for me.

    Outside of that generally more info about the WiiU would be great, it seems that Nintendo is really reaching out to third parties this time around and I'ed like to see what they reveal this time.

    Super Mario U announced, that's all I need to know.

    I never cared for the graphical style they used in New Super Mario Brothers (Or the background music for that matter). Much more like the way this Wii U release appears in these shots with all the details. Doesn't look like a cheap budget release anymore and looks much more in line with how I pictured how a modern sidescrolling Mario title in the style of things like SMB3/SMW should look on modern hardware.





    Hope they give the audio a makeover while they're at it. Not a single memorable song in either NSMB.

    And NSMB2 on the 3DS looks set to maintain the styling they've set on the previous two games.

    It was already confirmed.

    I've gotta say that Nintendo did a good job of selling me on the WiiU. I'm actually excited to use the controller and it seems like a very natural extension of the Wii brand.

    I was hoping for this too! Too bad the rumors were false. Maybe next year!

    Thats too bad. I feel like I need to pick up another DS lite to enjoy my DS games since the d-pad is in such an awkward position on the 3DS. Indeed maybe next year.
