Nintendo E3 2014 Conference - Now Finished

[Foxi4]

will the Mii Fighters take up 3 character slots or just 1??

Judging by what they've said, you can make your own Mii fighters with unique movesets, their categories are for the most part irrelevant... so they'll probaby be in a different menu altogether - I guess we'll see.

And i'm sure Nintendo laugh at those people in their boardrooms.

Judging by how badly the Wii U is tanking (with the occasional increase in sales when a good game comes out every blue moon) I'm sure their accountants don't.

How about no, Nintendo games for all peoples.

If people can beg Nintendo games on other consoles, people have the same right to beg Sony/MS games on Nintendo consoles. The one-sided port-begging is bullshit. People can beg Nintendo games to be on other consoles, but not the opposite, see, that's one-sided. Nintendo doesn't belong on other consoles, and it never will. Tough luck, buddy.

Too bad, so sad. Don't like it, get a Nintendo console.

I was pretty disappointed by the cel-shading technique that they are using for Zelda. Normally I don't care about graphics much, but I really think it matters when it comes to style. The more realistic style that they used for OoT/MM/TP helped you immerse yourself in the game. When it's cartoony, I just can't get into it.

But yeah, just ignore Guild McCommunist. He loves trolling, then pulls a "I don't want to be taken seriously" attitude when everyone gets sick of him.

Well, the game itself I'm sure will be just fine, it's like a mix between cel shading but then it's not, a mix of two styles it seems. And I hope we hear the rest of Super Smash Bros. roster, there are a few characters I hope make it in. And yes, I went ahead and already did what you suggested in the latter part

Yeah, I could be entirely wrong. However, Twilight Princess was the last 3D Zelda game that I loved though, and a good part of that was the style. I don't think action games should be cheery.

My gawd gimme those gaems already Nintendo!! xD

 

[LightyKD]

Not everyone plays games the same way Ouya owners do. Meaning they actually play games while Ouya owners can't.

Moving on! The only thing I could have wished for was an update on new console features. Nintendo TVii could use a face lift. It's useful but slow and feeling a bit dated.

Ninty won the E3 for me
Xenoblade Chronicles X looks just soo... Argh! my pants!

Voice of reason. Thank you.

Mind you, TP was perhaps a bit too gloomy for its own good, it almost felt like Shadow of the Colossus at times and could've used more colour... Not this much though.

The world itself looked great in my opinion (maybe need to tone the colours down a tiny bit though), but Link & Baddie looked horrendous in this viewing. Honestly if they used the Kingdoms of Amalur or Fable character style that would've been better!

Agreed. TP was too gloomy... the early Zelda U mockup vid showed a very Ocarina/MM Link - this would've been perfect, and would probably still have fit with the scenery we've just seen (minus a bit of colour like I said earlier!)

Early days though! Perhaps character models aren't up to scratch yet?

 

[JoostinOnline]

I liked the gloom of Twilight Princess, but only because it matched so well with the story. During cheerier times, the colors came out too. Here's a great example:

The world (and I don't just mean the Twilight Realm) changes, along with the music, to match the scenario.

I can't see it doing well in other games, but the tech demo (from 2011?) they had was a great balance of colors IMO.

The Zelda tech demo looked gorgeous, if that was the game's final look then it'd be a mighty-fine game. I'm sure the game will go through some further tweaking, but I don't think they'll change art direction now - this seems to be in-tune with their latest Zelda releases.

Yeah, the colours do come out, but they're somewhat ruined by this overwhelming bloom effect that makes them look washed out rather than vibrant. I see your point though and I agree that the Zelda tech demo looked fantastic.

I'm equally UN-excited about Bayonetta 2, and also was not impressed when I watched my friend play part 1. I was more entertained in the 80's watching Don Bluth's Dragon's Lair in action.

Come on mon it made for a change: Nintendo expects the big gamers (for which e3 is really for), have already sat through 2, possibly all 4, me-too presentations - that's 3-7 hours of some dev waffling on about their game, rinse & repeat. It's not gonna go down as something I'll never forget , but it made a nice change!
And I'm not that sure about the family only audience with Bayonetta 2 anyway, the first one was never a game I'd fire up in front of me bible bashing mother that's for sure, and this looks no different.....

.....Agreed with Yoshi though! STILL love Kirby's Epic Yarn, if they reproduce some of the ideas that had and mix it in with a platformer to rival the first Yoshi's Island we could be in for something really special. Want a bit more of a challenge this time though - Epic Yarn was all about your score, keep that to that game please lads

 

[LightyKD]

Can't wait to get my hands on both Bayonetta games. Sucks that I have to get a retail copy to own the two. There is a eShop confirmation for the first game and the second one comes solo on eShop. I really hope piracy kicks in soon.

Uhhh maybe they ran out of fight words like how pokemon ran out of colours.

Super Smash Bros. Rumble
Super Smash Bros. Blitz
Super Smash Bros. Deathmatch
Super Smash Bros. Fisticuffs
Super Smash Bros. Kerfuffle
Super Smash Bros. Backstreet Boogie

I've got you covered for, like, six generations, Nintendo. You're welcome.

Disliking the Ouya is trolling now? Ruh roh...

I noticed that in a lot of Wii and GC games. I think it was an attempt to hide the jaggies.

Now that sound familiar.
