Not really true, there have been plenty of third party games, it's just that no one who already owned a Xbox 360 or a PS3 would ever buy one (though I've read Rayman Legends on Wii U was the best version), or care to know they exist. It seems like there's less third party now, but so what? The 3DS is all first party, and very popular (unlike the Vita). It seems like a lot of games are coming out for the Wii U now. For people who like these games, why wouldn't it be a favorite press conference?


:lol:
Sorry I don't get my rocks off whenever 1080p/60fps gets mentioned.

The best version of Need For Speed Most Wanted was on the Wii U.

The best version of Need For Speed Most Wanted was whatever version most of your online Friends also had.

That looks fucking fantastic! I played Monster Hunter 3 Wii U and it was way too complicated and clunky. This looks similar but easy to get into :)

Well, good point. I just meant from a technical standpoint.

*sigh* I wish that game had had more legs.

No, but you seem to get a little bit upset.

Anyway, you brought it up. As far as I can tell, nobody else did. Must have been on your mind or something.

I know what you meant. What I had meant is that without really knowing the differences with the WiiU version, I'd have to think purchasing that game at system launch might have been a worse choice than getting it on the 360 with a big Friends list.
Was there anything that the WiiU version could do that you couldn't do on the PS3/360 with the iPad app?


*sigh* I wish that game had had more legs.
Me too. I really liked it.

Upset? Wow you read into things way too much. Just pointing out a possible reason, and also a fact. You're the one making foolish statements like how anyone would think Nintendo had the best show. :shrug:

I can see why someone would love Nintendo's presentation; just a tease of Zelda would be enough for a lot of Zelda fans, but things like Mario Party, more Smash Bros information, cute stuff like Yarn Yoshi and Captain Toad, and some misc things like Bayonetta, Mario Maker, or Splatoon. Personally, a lot of it comes off as predictable Nintendo fare though that i'm losing interest in; I feel like I can get my fix of Nintendo properties on the 3DS now that I have one.

Personally I'd still put it behind Sony and Microsoft, but they had some good things to show.

Well put stan. That's kind of how I feel. It looks nice, but it's really mostly more of the same stuff. I do enjoy the Zelda games, for for the most part if I want to play a Nintendo game, my Wii ones or my 3DS will suffice. I'm still not sold on a WiiU, especially at the current price.

Nothing inflammatory here.

That's all I meant. Zelda looked stunning, and Mario Maker looked cool, but otherwise there wasn't much.

And when you consider that none of the multiplats at any other show will be on the system...I just don't know.

I'd put Ubisoft ahead of them too with Division, AC, Far Cry, Valiant Hearts and Rainbow Six.

I think it depends on what your expectations for Nintendo are now that we know they're going to be last in this generation with little 3rd party support; if you view the presentation simply as wanting new Nintendo properties, it's a win and they delivered the familiar Nintendo stuff. If you're still thinking of it as a primary console instead of option 2 or option 3 for your gaming (or as I mentioned before, you just like Nintendo games), the presentation probably made people happy.

Good point. I haven't had a Nintendo console as a primary console since the Super NES (GCN probably tied with PS2), so I definitely look at them as secondary consoles.

And Zelda was probably the biggest "megaton" of all the conferences.

My bias toward WiiU is basically that the only thing they could announce that would make me happy is a tablet-free version of the hardware. But I absolutely know I'll buy one eventually regardless.

How is Zelda a 'megaton' though? It's a Nintendo console. It will have a Zelda at some point in its lifecycle. Like stan said, pretty much standard Nintendo fare.

You merely answering statements with what and :lol: is just asinine. Read what I wrote, or knock it off. Quit pretending to be coy. If he meant me, then he obviously wasn't paying attention to your crap.

Re: The Official 2014 Electronic Entertainment Expo Thread
 
Anyway, back to actual discussion, all the newer systems are coming out with a lot of sequels and/or reboots. That's what people want. Not a whole lot of new IP at this point from Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo.

I think it's a pretty big deal, and it looked especially impressive.

It helped that there weren't really any other megatons. The only surprises I can even think of were Rainbow Six the Suda 51 game and a few indies.

LBP 3 coming out this year for PS4 was a huge surprise for me.
