E3 2012

DOA5

The P-100 GT video has a funny glitch halfway through the interview. Although it might be annoying to everyone else.

Watch Dogs was running on a high end PC. I thought so, the edges looked to clean for 360/PS3 (Unless Naughty Dog!). No news on a Wii U version yet though :/

Well it just truely sucked...the whole event. I am quite psyched for Resi 6, but i was already hyped for that before the conference.

The new South Park game could be good as well.

There was no meat, for the first time in a long time i have not been excited for a new platform. At least when the 3DS and the Vita were announced i thought that they would be good products (although i have no intention to still buy either) , the Wii U absolutely does what the Wii does.

Trying to bring the "hardcore" gamer back with all this MiiVerse, Nintendo Land, Wii Fit U and Just Dance 4....is atrocious. Batman is essentially just a tacky port of a game we would have already owned for over a year on other consoles. Granted Pikmin and Rayman look alright but Nintendo really missed the boat and could have just teased Nintendo fans to let them know that Starfox, Metroid, Fzero etc are in development.

Sure they probably are, but would have been good to see something.

Mario is being milked like a bitch recently, i'm 'Marioed' out...Mario Tennis, Super Mario Land 3DS, Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros , Mario Bros Wii U, Paper Mario, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games 2012, and how many more would have been released in a 12-15 month window?

Something tells me that Shigsy is trying to cash in on the royalties as much as possible!

Tokyo Jungle coming to Europe.

Does anyone know what time the Nintendo round table is happening? I'm really hoping there will be some more game reveals.

That lasts forever! Looks like somebody will be in trouble.

That was way too rhythmic to have been an accident.

"In an interview with ABC News, Scott Moffitt, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Nintendo, said that in addition to Wii discs being backwards-compatible on the new Wii U, digital game collections purchased over the Wii Virtual Console will also be transferable over to the Wii U, likely remaining at standard definition."

Nintendo plans to release a wide range of games, from kid titles like "Pikmin 3"

I'm guessing nothing happened at roundtable..?
Geez people you'd better show games at TGS lksdfja;
Do companies like Square and Capcom even have anything new to show this year? I was really looking forward to some kind of FF game on 3DS

It kinds seems like this E3 in general has been..
"games we showed last year or recently: the show"

except Pikmin and of course Beyond that was neat.

Whatever Retro studios is working on, it will not be shown anytime soon, says Fils-Aime in a recent interview at E3.

"IGN: Switching gears, because I'm getting bombarded on Twitter to ask this... Everyone wants to know what Retro is up to. It's been a couple of years since we really heard from them. When will we hear from them?

Fils-Aime: Rich, if I disclosed what Retro is doing, I would have the president of Retro literally calling me right now saying, "Reggie, what are you doing?" We love that people are interested. We love surprising people. I remember getting the questions before we announced Donkey Kong Country Returns. And I loved unveiling that. So... Rest assured, the team is hard at work. But I'm not gonna tell you what they're working on.

IGN: Probably not something we'll hear about any time soon? Or...

Fils-Aime: Um... Likely not."

So is anyone gunna be watching the 3ds show case, cause that's in like 30 minutes?

Yeah, I'll be watching. I'm honestly quite hopeful for this one. The 3DS has slowly been pulling itself together nicely. Ready to see some more good games on the way.

Lol well the 3ds showcase was pretty shit.

That was really shit uh.

I don't have any excuses guys sry as great as the new 3DS games look there wasn't a single new thing not even Animal Crossing.
They'd better reveal new games in the coming months I swEAR TO GOD.

EDIT: Apparently Reggie confirmed a Fire Emblem localisation right after the showing? According to IGN's Twitter.. https://twitter.com/RichIGN/status/210553654393044992

I actually wasn't too disappointed by that mini-show. I kinda figured if they had anything actually big to show, they would have found a way to fit it into the main event.

Luigi still looks good, Mario looks good (despite the fact they're really starting to milk the 2D franchise), and Paper Mario looks good too. Castlevania too looks quality -- Konami has a history of delivering excellent portable titles in the series. Would have really liked to see something about Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem, though.

Psst Jacob check my edit

I'm upset about the lack of AC too but
Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion look really brilliant aa..

The absence of Animal Crossing is very surprising. Hopefully that will mean that it's been moved to 2013 and further worked on. Other than that, I think the line-up for this year is more than good enough. New games for 2013 will most likely be revealed in future Nintendo Directs and/or at TGS, so I'm not worried about that. I hope we'll get at least a teaser for the new 3DS Zelda this year though.

Oh yes, and where the hell was Capcom on Wii U and 3DS? They've usually been big supporters of Nintendo systems, what happened?

Okay, so what was the point of this 3DS-centric conference if they didn't announce a game that would have pleased a lot of fans right there, but instead decided to do it right after?

I just wanted to hear something about Monster Hunter Tri G being localized in US and EU. I guess I'll have to wait for TGS for some MH info.

I'm starting to get reaaaally fed up of Mario though.
(as in Mario Bros)

It's the year of the marios

Psst Jacob check my edit

No ones asking Reggie if his body is ready for Monster Hunter
