The E3 2012 Info and Discussion Thread

[Kayo]

Well, the conference sucked and no one has the right to complain about the Wii U because SHUT UP IT'S TOO EARLY TO TELL.

This is what I've been trying to tell them ;_;

[Nayrman]

Attractions that appear to be in Nintendo Land, based on the logos on NoA's official Twitter:
Zelda
Pikmin
Metroid
Mario
Luigi's Mansion
Animal Crossing
Something Deku related (?)
Donkey Kong
Murasame
F-Zero
Balloon Fight(?)

I wonder if this will be a pack-in.

Well, I suspect so. They said people needed to play Wii Sports to get the Wii, and this is similar, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was put in.

Oh, and nice of you to put one single level of F-Zero in the game. Can I have a full game of it now please? <_<

[X-3]

"Will Nintendoland be a pack in?"
"dunno"
"How do you guys come up with so many ideas for Mario?"
"dartbo-I mean multiple teams. Well that's it!"

Insightful.

This is what I've been trying to tell them ;_;

But a lack of games people want is a reason to complain imo.

Nintendo basically confirmed that it's not more powerful than 360.

I can't wait to see how hard this thing bombs. Nintendo is a dying company.

holy intercourse  this is amazing

Nintendo basically confirmed that it's not more powerful than 360.

I'm not sure if this is exactly true. While the Verge did say that, some posts I've read have said that it's just bad paraphrasing.

[The Riddler]

Also I actually assumed the Balloon was Mario Party for some reason. I feel like they'll dedicate an attraction to that.

[Tupin]

They actually said something along the lines of there obviously being reduces performance when using three screens. They said that developers should balance what they need to do technologically with what they want to do, not every game needs to have three screens.

I have a feeling Nintendo planned for there to be only one GamePad at a time for most of development and added the ability for a second one due to demand.

[zephilicious]

yeah i called all that months ago this was obvious

Not really since it's ALWAYS THE CASE. Not like this is any different.

[Nayrman]

Not really since it's ALWAYS THE CASE. Not like this is any different.

So just because we're USED to bad treatment means we should just be happy with what little scraps we get? Good thing this is the case or I'd have a reason to be upset with the government all the time!

Turns out Wii U is actually WEAKER than current-gen. The multiplat games on the show floor look and perform worse than the other versions.

Amazing, Nintendo. Just amazing. I can't wait to see this company go under.

They're doing this on purpose, I swear. It's sabotage.
