That was fun, I'd have liked to have seen more information on Zelda and Pokemon though. We didn't really need ten minute segments on Splatoon and the Yoshi game.

[Scarlett.]

God, they went on about Splatoon waaaay too long, lol, Zelda looks very nice though.

[Scarlett.]

Just heard, apparently Starfox is being announced later!

[BBfanUSA]

yeah, Starfox was leaked earlier. Miyamoto was playing it at the end of the digital event.
It's obvs a prototype

But after Nintendo's Press Conference, I REALLLY Need a Wii U

Also Mario Party 10 has finally been confirmed. That really needs online multiplayer.

A lot of things caught my eye on that Nintendo direct but the one that had me most excited funnily enough was that amiibo. Just watched a seperate video on nintendo youtube channel that tells you more about it and by using them in smash bros you can enhance their stats and everything. The link figure especially looks amazing.

Never fancied skylanders or that other one but this nintendo Amiibo looks the real deal for me. Would love to know what it has to do with Mario kart 8 though.

Really enjoyed that presentation.

I was just thinking about Type 0 the other day, wondering why it never got released in the west.

I think they thought there wouldn't be any demand for it they were very wrong

[Black Dagger]

Urgh people are so annoying with this whole 'RIP XBOX/NINTENDO/SONY'

Fanboys everywhere, I think all 3 showed signs of great potential for this gen, all 3 have got games that I want to buy and play, it's just deciding what my first console will be (when I get a job ofc) but I think PS4 is for me rn.

[Tom4784]

I didn't think anyone's conferences this year were that great.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah they weren't spectacular, but they all at least showed something that I was interested in!

[Tregard]

Nintendo's conference was by far the most interesting of the three, all had a few things of interest but neither Sony or Microsoft showed enough for me to buy a console.

My favourite new IP of the bunch was Splatoon, but it didn't have a lot of competition tbh. The conferences were very fast paced, but strangely didn't seem to be showing much. All sort of proof-of-concept, teaser trailer stuff. Also a LOT more remakes than I'd have liked (I find it funny that Sony's big PS4 titles this year are Last of Us and GTAV, last year's big PS3 titles).

Hoping we hear some more interesting stuff over the next few days, and maybe Gamescom will have some better titles to show off.

[Scarlett.]

I liked the announcements of Uncharted 4, Ratchet & Clank reboot, Final Fantasy Type-0 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I wanted to see big showings of Mass Effect 4 and Final Fantasy XV though, lol.

To be honest, exclusives are a dying breed, which isnt a bad thing at all.

True, but I certainly prefer exclusives to "Console Exclusive"/"Exclusive content"/"Exclusive first" BS.

[Scarlett.]

Yeah, that sort of stuff needs to die out, lol.

1. Nintendo
2. Microsoft
3. Sony

Rofl at Sony's conference. Mainly talking crap that nobody cares for, audio glitches and Adam Boyes beyond cheesy.

No surprise to see the gaming press praising Sony's conference. Could probably prevent s h i t on a stick and they'd wax lyrical over it.

[Kyle]

Can't wait to make a giant penis level on Mario maker.

[Black Dagger]

So what is occurring today and tomorrow now? Are we going to see what Quantic are up to

It's mainly going to be people looking at games on the showfloor, no more big reveals (except for Nintendo revealing a 3DS game later)

Also Pacman is in Smash!

[Iceman]

Looking forward to Abe

Its been too long

Uncharted 4, Ratchet & Clank (reboot), Bloodborne and No Man's Sky? Not to mention Last of Us Remastered. Also note, 90% of PS4 games shown are coming in 2014/2015, and aren't just concepts of what might come out in 2016/17.

Also, I care for stuff like Youtube and Playstation Go, even Playstation TV, stuff like that is mentioned for people who have the console.

I don't even get why Nintendo earn so much praise, when they're just showing more 2D platformers and Mario games. Zelda looked good though.

[Scarlett.]

Remember this?

Nintendo showed a hell of a lot more than than, even if you exclude the 2D platformers (Yoshi's Wooly World, Mario Maker), they showed:

-Devil's Third
-Bayonetta 2 (w. Bayonetta 1)
-Hyrule Warriors
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
-Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
-Splatoon
-Mario Party 10
-Xenoblade Chronicles X

Plus updates on Smash Brothers and Miyamoto's new projects.

Frankly it was a little embarassing how much new stuff Nintendo had to show off with actual gameplay in comparison to Sony and Microsoft's Teaserthons.

I am looking forward to Grim Fandango though.

Nintendo are a year ahead, I guess, anywho, my aim wasn't to attack Nintendo, I was just pointing out that Nintendo always seems to get a free pass, they can release similar Pokemon games every year and people just eat it up, CoD dares do the same and gets nothing but **** for it. I do say all this as an actual owner of the Wii U, remember. Microsoft and Sony have all the multiplatform games too, which are some of the ones I am most looking forward to (Tomb Raider! Final Fantasy Type-0!)

At the end of the day though, Nintendo fans love that stuff, just like Microsoft and Sony fans like their stuff. Pretty much all the conferences were equal IMO.
