Nintendo E3 Direct Summary

[Pedeadstrian]

I am the only one that thinks that the 3DS version of SSB looks better than the Wii U version?

Looks like it.

Still doesn't make me want to go out a get wii u just to play a jrpg and a few nintendo exclusives
3ds is coming along nicely though

It was a good Nintendo direct, but not the "whoooa"-show they needed to stand a little bit of a chance this christmas season against Sony and Microsoft. The average consumer who buys only one console will most likely buy a PS4 or a xboxone (or even a cheap ps3 or xbox360).
They won't sell the Wii u enought to get good 3rd party support ever.
On the other other hand they presented many great games so that at the end of 2014 a real gamer has to have a Wii U as a secound console besides xboxone or PS4.

X...... X ...........X........ I want to play that game X , 2014 is so far away

Smash was already a WiiU sale for me, but then they said Watch Dogs...and...

 

[weavile001]

I guess I'll be picking both, but the 3DS version first, maybe it will have DS/3DS only franchises' characters like golden sun or fossil fighter.

It's okay third parties, you don't need the Wii U.

Am I the only one who doesn't think that DKC is Retro's secret project? I feel it more likely that they're either working on that in conjunction with another IP, or maybe another studio is working on DKC now that Retro's set the precedence for how a modern DKC plays.

maybe it's just wishful thinking

You prefer the cel/comic shading? ..........Okay.

Nah, they just need better games worth porting.

I like the contrasting styles between the versions. Gives you something a little different on each platform.

X looks amazing. Pumped for Donkey Kong. Although, if I had known that Retro had a choice between Metroid and DK I would have been more excited for another Metroid entry.

 

[jonthedit]

Smash bros looks the same. (I'd rather stick to SSBB with BrawlVault mods, those guys can make some pretty balanced new characters!)
Mario Kart 8 copied Crash Nitro Kart 2...
Meh, not too bad. This seems like a better turn for Nintendo. They beat Microsoft IMO.

 

[ov3rkill]

Hahaha. Super Smash Bros for 3DS looks like SFIV's graphics which is pretty interesting. hehehe.
Looking forward to this game and the full rooster. I hope they have character revelations every month or week.

The new Mario Kart looks fun. Who cares if the concept of driving upside down was copied?

 

[medoli900]

I loved all the E3 direct,except the wii fit/party part.Now i really want a WiiU,but then that would mean that i can't get all the game i want for the 3DS...
I'm hyper-hyped for SSB 3DS/WiiU,i hope that 6th gen pokemon and/or Leonard (Art Academy) will be featured as character

 

[Gahars]

But at least Mario Kart is fun. Crash Nitro Kart was meh. Who cares if they copy it?

I can't speak for the claim one way or the other, but wow. That is some awful, awful logic on display.

It's the internet, logic is nonexistent, didn't places like Facebook or YouTube teach you that?

And don't worry, I reworded my last post to be less douchey.

Oh god, really watching that Smash Bros. trailer, the 3DS version still clearly has a depressingly long way to go. It's bad enough that they had to opt for more cartoony characters with hard black outlines on the 3DS (damn it, Nintendo, you know the 3DS can do more than that), but those frame rates were all fairly choppy until the transition to the Wii U version. If they don't take the time to polish the 3DS version of the game, well, I can easily say that right now, that is far from a day one purchase for me. If Smash Bros 3DS just ends up being crippled Smash Bros U, well, there went my sale.

seriously? the game's obviously not yet finished, and the black outlines aren't becasue the 3Ds is 'too weak'.

With how smoothly the Wii U version was functioning for demonstrations, there is no excuse for the lack of attempts at polishing the 3DS version enough to show off. As well, if you had any ability to read, you would find somebody kindly answered my complaints earlier in the thread rather than being a jackass about it.

Someone was too lazy to realized the outlines were to make the characters easier to see, but why bother convincing a hater?
