nintendo's goin in dry

In the interest of discussion, here's a list of games confirmed or rumored to be at E3.

[Phantomboy]

Gosh, I am absolutely abysmal at recognising games by purely their titles alone.

Anyways, I as a person-guy who doesn't really have any of the latest consoles - I suppose I am mostly interested in finding games amongst all of these that might clear up what I might purchase down the line.

It is become increasingly harder to tell if a trailer is pre-rendered or is actually from the game itself, as the fidelity of each are approaching near matches to one another. Although, that depends heavily on the system, game aesthetic and what is shown, I suppose.

[ElectroYoshi]

It just has fake written all over it. I can't imagine that they would name the next Zelda something as stupid as "Unbound King". And I'm pretty sure they've already released or are about to release Pushmo World. I don't see why they would show that.

With that said this one of the more convincing "leaks".

Yeah. Like I said, I think it can be safely assumed that it's totally fake. The only reason I didn't totally discount the possibility of it being real is because Yarn Yoshi is listed on there, and it was ALMOST shown at E3 last year before Nintendo decided it wasn't ready to be shown off just yet.

Prediction (Nah): PS Wii One Gets announced, able to play games from all three major consoles, with full motion control capability, touch screen pads, and plenty more of Kinect!

[ElectroYoshi]

Anyone else feel like a lot of stuff is being revealed that should've been saved for E3? The GameCube adapter for the Wii U, Halo 5, etc., feel like they should've been saved, and the amount of leaks and pre-reveals have reached ridiculous levels.

[TheLastLink]

E3 has happened. Games were announced.

My highlights this year came from Sony and Nintendo:

Sony:

• The Order: 1886 looks interesting
• Entwined sounds really addicting
• Counterspy and Helldivers look pretty good
• Far Cry 4 seems like its shaping up nicely
• No Man's Sky looks pretty

Nintendo:

• Yoshi's Woolly World looks charming and fun to play
• Splatoon sounds interesting
• Devil's Third sounds cool
• Kirby and the Rainbow Curse sounds like fun
• To my surprise, as I was kind of hoping Nintendo would cut back on Mario this year, Mario Maker and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker look REALLY neat

But this announcement in particular got me REALLY excited:

New Zelda looks great. The push towards non-linearity with A Link Between Worlds is a welcome change from Twilight Princess and Skyward Thrust.

Graphics tis nice also.

EDIT: Also, the guy in the gameplay trailer (probably the main character) might not be Link. OMGSCANDEL

[ThatOneFox]

Imo MS have saved themselves in this e3 conference. Not once did they call the Xbox ONE a water cooler, so that must be a step in the right direction.

[Phantomboy]

I was unaware that was ever something the had called the One Uh, as a person who still hasn't picked up a single one of the new consoles, I think my coins are on the Wii U but I am going to wait for the first price drop, possibly next year or the following

it was very clearly link wtf is everyone talking about



i though everyone who actually liked legend of zelda (and hasn't yet grown up (sorry tll)) stroked themselves to sleep over the thought of another rehash of ocarina of time

how much of a rehash would it be if it didn't feature the same character it always has?
imagine if they did that with mario - make a new game but have it feature not-mario? It'd be shit!
oh wait


luigi wasn't screaming cause of the ghosts, he was screaming cause he knew how much his game sucked arse

[media=youtube]mM9MGY2OL8o[/media]

didnt watch sony's e3 so i wont comment on that
but
yoshi's woolly world looked like it would play as any other yoshis island except now he's made of wool (didn't kirby already do that)
splatoon best game of e3 splatoon-squid-girl is my new waifu (if you call it just 'squid girl' i will punch you in the face)
who cares about devil's third
wasn't kirby and the rainbow curse a game we already love (kirby) but with a funky new artstyle (what the fuck nintendo you can't do that twice in one e3)
captain toad was the worst part of mario 3d land literally dull as fuck
mario maker second best game of e3 if it's not crap

as i've said many times before LoZ is a franchise that people should really let nintendo bury because it's so shit

[Phantomboy]

I was honestly impressed with the trailer of Legend of Zelda, of course I have looked at absolutely no gameplay footage - so grain of salt and all that.

As for Kirby, I don't know, I think it is kind of neat to see some games taking advantage of the stylus and touch screen on the Wii U. The art style is really cute, so it wins a sticker in my book.

I think Mario Maker is kind of a hard game for them to 'show off' as it is really more of a tedious tinker toy than a breath taking visual experience, so I look forward to see what people come up with..

[Miniike]

Nintendo hinted it might not be Link. Or maybe they just don't care.

People on Facebook have been theorizing over this a lot. A lot of them think this points to either a) fully customizable characters, or b) a new protagonist entirely. Personally, my money's on A, because I feel like Nintendo would've done more to set this guy apart from Link if he wasn't.

Believe it or not, the Zelda trailer was actual gameplay. I think the cameras were positioned differently then they were in-game, a la Mario Kart, but all if that stuff is possible in-game.

With respect to MM, I was kind of the same way. I'm HOPING it's released as an eShop app instead of a full-fledged retail title, because it's a game that relies on UGC, and I don't think those are worth $60.
