Nintendo was weak this year. They didn't want to show anything that won't be available in their "launch window" apparently. That said there is some great 3rd party stuff, most we've known about. Arkham City still looks good, Assassin's Creed 3 is interesting, Lego City looks like it could be a lot of fun. They didn't try to wow anybody this year though, no real new first party IP's. I wanted to find out what Retro is working on. Wii U is still interesting to me, and has a ton of potential, but I don't think they won anybody over that wasn't already interested in it or those who are on the fence. Looking forward to what they show for 3DS this week also.

I dont get how Arkhan City looked good. It looked exactly the same. On a console thats supposed to be next gen. Stupid second screen gimmicks don't make a year old game worth new money.

Wii U looks so bad. Nintendo has put themselves in an awful position with that POS. F*cking 10 year old hardware and another gimmick. Great. They better hope all the fools who fell for the Wii fall equally as hard for the Wii U or this is Gamecube all over again.

They can't really be THIS stupid, can they? You expect people to give a sh*t when your "next-gen" console comes out and everything on it looks like games we've been playing for 6+ years? What happens when the new Xbox and Playstation come out, Nintendo? Shovelware and ports out the f*cking ass. They've got a year from the moment this thing launches before it's completely and utterly out of date by a DECADE. A DECADE NINTENDO! 10 F*CKING YEARS!

Edit: Best part of E3.

I've said a thousand times that I don't care about the hardware at all. It's 1080p. Whoopie. That's all I need. The hardware looks nice in my opinion. I LOVE the controller, but I want freaking GAMES, and they didn't show me ****. Consider me pissed as hell. The conference sucked balls. New SMB 2 & U both use the same goddamn graphics engine they've been using since 2005 on the DS (love the squirrel suit though). Oh well. I'll play them both and love them both.

Nintendo conference sucked. Microsoft conference sucked. Sony was alright, but strung out. Ubisoft was awesome. F*ck Usher, and f*ck Flo Rida.

Assassins Creed 3 looks spectacular, but Watch Dogs stuck a grenade right up Rockstar's ass. AMAZING ****.

Star Wars 1313 is game of show. Period. Dear Jesus that looked amazing.

The only thing I liked was Pikmin 3, and that should have been a Wii game.

I really don't understand why Nintendo is constantly rehashing the "New" Super Mario bros. series now. The DS one was a big deal because it was the first 2D Mario in like 15 years. The Wii one had 4 player co-op and the return of the Koopalings.

But now we're getting a NSMB2 on 3DS, AND NSMB on the Wii-U? What the hell is the difference between both games?


I kinda hope the Wii-U is Nintendo's last home console. People won't be fooled again and its time they just focus on games.

Or put out a system that isn't obsolete upon release? That might help.

It looks like typical handheld schlock? The kind of thing the PSP was rife with and no better for it.

I remember half of the PSP games I played being Japanese imports, and even those weren't very good. The game I played the most on PSP was a goddamn Mahjong game.

I'm actually really glad I never bought a Vita or a 3DS. The handheld market is simply awful. Once I can download games for free on them, I'll pick them up...maybe.

Most of the gaming industry is in a slump creatively. Every new game they've shown I feel like I've played before. The Japanese gaming industry is all but dead at this point.

The Last of Us does seem way too close to Uncharted gameplay wise. God of War looks the same as the last 5 games, (its the 6th in the series if you count the PSP ones).

Assassin's Creed III will likely be good, but its the 5th in the series. RE6 I'll buy simply for being a hardcore RE fan for 15 years, although I know others will hate it.

Dead Space 3 at least looks awesome, it was my favorite new franchise of the generation. The Tomb Raider reboot surprisingly looks good.

Dead Space 3 looks terrible. It's yet another "take this awesome atmospheric, slow-paced game and TURN DA ACTION UP TO 11! RAAAWR!" You have cover-based SHOOTOUTS with HUMAN BEINGS. F*ck. That.

And again this is the end of the longest console cycle in history. Do people really expect to see new IP and mind-blowing sh*t for the current generation of consoles? These last two years have been nothing but a stop gap while things gear up for the next generation.

I don't get why people keep bashing the Wii U's hardware when we don't even know the specs. I'm not really defending. I just want info. Somebody show me the specs, and if they suck I'll bash right along.

I'm just bashing it because what I saw of it looked like same old sh*t we've been seeing for the past 6 years.

Not even good sh*t either. Low end Wii sh*t. Scribblenauts looking no better than a 2 dollar iPhone game? Come on son.

Word on da street is that it's on par with the 360/PS3, better and worse in some areas. That doesn't instill confidence.

Also, soooo much sh*t about how mainstream press doesn't know the Wii U is an actual console and not just an add-on. Nintendo should have learned their lesson with the sh*tty 3DS name.
