Ubisoft may very well be the best presentation of this year, I wasn't expecting that much from them but they did amazing after that snafu with Flo Rida.
I mean Far Cry 3, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Assassin's Creed III, WATCH DOGS, holy shit.
Just you watch as investors bail out of EA and put stock into Ubisoft instead, Gametrailers/Spike TV have been recording live feedback for the conferences and EA absolutely bombed, although not as much as Microsoft.
Ubisoft was overwhelmingly positive and anticipated.

Rayman Legends demo was pretty crap honestly. It just showed off a Wii U feature which seemed like the worst way to play. I didn't think Origins had good co-op at all and I don't expect to be playing it in Legends. Like it seems incredibly boring to be playing as Murphy and watching everyone platform while you just make sure they get a higher score at the end.
Plus they started using some 3D graphics which really defeats the point of this new Origins series. It was all about the revival of 2D graphics. I don't want anything 3D in there.
Asscreed was cool looking as always. Definitely gonna get that.
Watch Dogs was a surprise. Looked really interesting but I want more info. Seemed kinda confusing but the general ideas of using the tech around you to create distractions and find people was really cool. Plus the world looked GTA-style open.

A really good game for me though, sold very well and was rated well with the critics. Also gamers seemed to have liked it. I paid zero attention to the trailers and just watched the gameplay vids and that game turned out to be a good surprise to me. This is the PC version though, currently 80% on metacritic.
It seems to be having all the multiplayer ideas from when it was Killer Freaks From Outerspace according to the press release:
LOS ANGELES — June 4, 2012 — Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft challenged gamers to find out how long they can survive in the dilapidated, infected world of ZombiU – a new survival-horror shooter that will be released exclusively for Nintendo’s Wii UTM. ZombiU headlines a group of eight titles from Ubisoft that will be available for the Nintendo Wii UTM.
Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, the studio behind critically acclaimed titles like From DustTM, Beyond Good & Evil® and Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter®, ZombiU puts players in the middle of London circa 2012, where an outbreak has infected the population, destroying their humanity and turning them into mindless monsters preying on the flesh of the few remaining survivors. This fear-fueled first-person shooter takes all the terror, chaos and tension found in the best of the horror genre and adds original interactive elements, including a unique death mechanic that puts players in the body of a different survivor each time they die, allowing them to track and take down their old, infected characters, recover their equipment and see if they can stay alive just a little bit longer this time.
ZombiU showcases the innovative features of the Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad and creates new game experiences not possible on other consoles. The Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad serves as the player’s ultimate survival kit, called the “Bug Out Bag.” The Bug Out Bag is a backpack containing all the maps, tools, weapons and supplies that players can scavenge from the limited resources available in the devastated cityscape. ZombiU also uses the Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad’s touch screen, gyroscope and camera to create a tactile connection between gamers and the in-game world. Finally, ZombiU features a distinctive multiplayer adversarial mode that allows one player to take on the role of “Zombie Master,” spawning and controlling enemies from a top-down view on the Nintendo Wii UTM GamePad while the second player fights for survival on the big screen in first-person shooter view with the Nintendo Wii UTM Pro controller.
“ZombiU is a dark and daunting game that gamers will love to play again and again,” said Guillaume Brunier, producer at Ubisoft. “ZombiU takes advantage of the Nintendo Wii U’s one-of-a-kind capabilities and will be a launch title that every gamer will want to sink their teeth into.”

The Wii U, however, has a much larger emphasis on core audiences than the Wii did. I doubt it'll suffer the same fate unless it's genuinely bad.
No it won't, it has a much much better developer behind it rather than some small time dev who at best made mediocre titles and at worst some of the most disgraceful games ever made. Ubisoft are far better at marketing than Sega too and have a fantastic relationship with Nintendo. Also the Wii U so far hasn't been marketed by Nintendo as a "casual" console.
All Nintendo fans said the same thing when madworld, conduit, red steel, etc... was released.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Outside the Nintendo circle (non-fanboys) everyone still consider Nintendo a casual brand, and the Wii U is no exception, especially with the 3DS library (with the exception of resident evil) of casual/kiddie games continuing the trend.
Well here are two non-fanboys predicting otherwise, even if we're just a small piece of the pie. Plus, I wouldn't say the 3DS' library is casual or kiddie: Devil Survivor Overclocked, Kid Icarus Uprising, Samurai Warriors, Senran Kagura, Resident Evil Revelations (and Mercs), those are just some of the bigger titles
Sony All-Star is clearly SSB, alright, watching the video it's clear where they got their inspiration from.
Also Beyond looks interesting.
Also Beyond looks interesting.
