But haven't they all been like that? I mean Nintendo is expected to have some of these games they showcase brought over here, how are they going to do one just on only JPN games if there aren't any?

Do what Sony did and have that version of Nintendo Direct and show 3rd party games only since 1st party couldn't be used as they would be localized.

The thing is A LOT of Nintendrones were saying "Wait til E3, Wait til E3, Wait til E3". Is Nintendo running away?

I really really thought they had something up their sleeve for the WiiU and could surprise Us at E3. Looks like the Wii U is in more trouble than we really think.

Are we supposed to take your post seriously.

No, be honest, are we?

Wait.. we are?

Well alright. The reason people were saying "wait until E3" were for the titles that we already know about, the new Smash Bros, new Mario 3D and Mario Kart, and perhaps Zelda. That's just the confirmed stuff. Obviously there will be more. Don't be closed minded -__-

Whoa, whoa cool off the cynicism boy-yo. I think he means with Nintendo not doing big shows at E3 its not going to mean as much as Nintendo fans say it does anymore. Not that there wont be any reveals or announcements on those games, just that there wont be a long speech by reggie just to announce Wii Music U.

How they wanna sell their Wii U if they don't advertise it? The PS4/Xbox Infinity will get all the press attention this year no doubt. We already knew those games were coming we needed some big news and surprises for the WiiU. They will only have 2 closed event so where will they show those games to the public other than their followers?

It was mainly more of his "WiiU must be in more trouble than I thought" comment. It's like he completely forgot Nintendo has the 3DS as well..

Nintendo is doing smaller conferences? Good, E3 has become such a joke it's not even funny. I've been saying for a while that Nintendo should just do directs. There's no time constraint, it costs a lot less, and they deliver their news straight to the fans. They don't talk about sales, or projections or any of that crap.

I agree and think along the same lines, especially with the way the wii u is atm. They are trying to avoid as much embarrassment as possible.

Only the investors meeting is closed. The other is just a smaller presentation.

You don't need e3. There will be a Nintendo Direct for fans for Wii U games and 3DS.

There is still conference a for the press to try out the new games, not for the public streaming online. Presses will report back with hand on experience with newer games and fans will find out newer info via ND.

Nothing is lost, but you get treated to more ND and get pure gaming info.

ShadowSoldier I know they have a 3DS on market which is why I just bought one like a Week ago because of the last 2 Nintendo Direct and the upcoming games. The 3DS this year is on fire. But what about the Wii U? There's nothing for it. Only a delay for Pikmin 3. If those games you mentioned are the only hope for the Wii U it means it doesnt have any Third Party support at least for now. Thats why I was looking to see their E3 Conference hoping to see some Third Party support for the Wii U.

I bought a Wii U on launch date and sold it like a month ago and got a 3DS XL.

Again, you're making it sound as if Nintendo won't be at E3. That's not true.

They'll be on the showfloor showing all of their new stuff. They're gonna be there. They just don't give a shit about the big presentations, which is good. I don't understand where you're coming from saying the WiiU is in trouble when new stuff will be shown at E3...

GG Nintendo is doomed.
first virtual boy, then DS pirated games and now this.
RIP Nintendo 1567-2012


I really hope they come up witha Smash Bros trailer.

And the idea of them doing streams for announcements does sounds logical for the times we're living, I mean, one single and big conference is way too 2005.

New? What is the NEW things the Wii U is getting?

The only good thing I know is coming is the Sequel of Xenoblade

That's your opinion that that's the only good thing. If you're gonna talk like that, then that's the equivalent of me saying,

pft, whats Sony gonna have that's new? The only good thing I know is coming is Knack.

If E3 is really losing it's relevancy, then I suspect the only Wii U games being unveiled this year are Mario Kart, Super Mario 3D and Smash Bros., and no 3DS games at all.

Not that I won't get those games, but the Wii U really needs more love than just 3 games that we already knew were coming.

I hope Nintendo will start properly catering to the Wii U in future Nintendo Directs. Too much focus on the 3DS so far.
