People act like because Nintendo didn't give them everything they wanted, they fucked them over so badly.
Anything I wanted. They didn't give ANYTHING I wanted.
Super Mario Bros 5000. NSMB Wii I completed in like 4 hours because you can warp from zone 1 to like 6 and then to 8 without even trying. And as well, by focusing on multiplayer they make it a really terrible single player experience.
Last year's E3 made the Wii U look EPIC. I was so psyched. Now what we see:
Last year's stuff again. Trying to hype Arkham City and ME3 like they've not already been out for ages.
The Miiverse looks really stupid. Like.. they're using it for advertisement. "Not only games you have but games that are trending". I want to see the game that I have in the DISC TRAY.
If they have an achievement system or anything, instead of going "this is the controller" again they should've said "We have an achievement system based on points". If they don't have one then what the hell are they doing? What an epic failure.
They show HD Zelda footage last year, so for a year I think Wii U is going to launch with Zelda (And I know, Skyward Sword was just out, but Nintendo is a big company and SS had a different style and feel from TP. I thought they'd put a team together to make sure that their NEW CONSOLE has some good first party games).
Stuff that Ubisoft already showed the other day. Rayman looks gash, it's just like "Oh yeah so you just hold right while the person with the wii u controller hits the orbs to make you fly and kills all the onscreen enemies for you". Zombi U looks good, but zombies are just such a generic category of game. At least they shook up the genre a little.
Lego City - So cash. It looks beautiful. But it's third party! Why was a third party the best thing at Nintendo's show?
Scribblenauts Universe - I was hyping Scribblenauts so much when it came out and then there was NO GAMEPLAY. It has a great idea but it's so badly made. You should have missions in dungeons and you use your words to get through. Instead it's like "clean up the park" and you just write "nuke". Such a disappointing game.
Tank Tank Tank - Like.. what is this? Come on. You're showing this on the main stage? You really have no other games?
SiNG and Wii Fit Plus - COME ON.
Pikmin 3 - The original Pikmin was so frustrating. You play the whole game and then day 30 "OH LOL YOU LOSE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T COLLECT EVERYTHING. TRY AGAIN FROM THE START". And the franchise looks like it's barely changed in 10 years. New control scheme, a few new Pikmin, a new camera angle otherwise it's pretty much identical to the Gamecube version, and it's not original anymore, which was the only appeal to Pikmin. It's not a great game.
On the 3DS front - I was so excited about Paper Mario. HOW COULD THEY GET IT SO WRONG? Oh, I enter a battle. I want to attack. PITY I DIDN'T PEEL STICKERS OFF OF THE FLOOR BECAUSE NOW I CAN'T ATTACK. That's such a crap idea for an RPG! How could they ruin such a good series in one fell swoop?
Luigi's Mansion - Looks awesome, no complaints. But this was already announced last year.
The theme park thing - Just a bunch of gimmicks. That Luigi's mansion bit of it looked like a minigame from Mario Party. A minigame amongst hundreds of minigames. Not 15.
Why didn't they announce P-100 on stage?
Announced specs like "HD ATI graphics" - Holy shit, really? No shit. "Multi core processor". That could mean TWO. You've essentially told us that your console still uses a CPU and GPU, just like every console does.
The controller looks fantastic but why was it shown so BADLY? This launch could've been great. Where was Metroid or Star Fox or even like.. Animal Crossing? At 3DS's E3 last year they showed us games that still aren't even out. Why not show us the future of Wii U? Smash Bros? And on the 3DS front, where was Layton vs Ace Attorney? This whole thing was just such a failure. I was so hyped for the whole thing and it's just crashed down. Really poor effort.
Oh and Reggie was just cringe today. That girl from Arkham City or whatever speaks to him and him and the Warner Bros guy have the most awkward exchange in the world.
This conference plain sucked on all fronts, they didn't release any new information that was exciting that we haven't known since Iwata's little thing the other day on the site, or last year's E3. Why did they even do that conference thing if they already showed everything in it on the main stage? If they'd shown the video stuff from that on the main stage that would've been interesting. Noone wants to see your fitness and singing and dancing games. When the only new good announcement in the whole thing is a third party Lego game, you've failed.
