Who is upset about Nintendo's "Spin-off" year at E3?

[BellGreen]

The event made me think better about Happy Home Designers; I'll most likely be buying that game (and the bundle if Nintendo is smart), and amiibo Festival looks OK. I need to get my hands on the amiibo fast before they sell out though lol.

Paper Jam looks to be more of a Mario & Luigi game with Paper Mario being a coat of paint ? la crossover courses in Mario Kart 8.

Although from the looks of it I'm excited because it seems Bowser will either be an ally or be more of like he was in TTYD seeing as how he's surprised to see a different version of himself, unless the whole crossover was caused by Bowser accidentally, but it's might be a new villain, which after Sticker Star and Dream team would be refreshing.


Actually, it looks like it's canon that the Paper Mario world is just a story, and that Luigi accidentally knocked over the book which released them into the actual M&L world. Still, since the Bowser's don't get along it may be keeping back to his goofy personality.

Blah forget that the website page says you're fighting Bowser but still TWO BOWSERS!

Honestly, it was pretty obvious they wouldnt announce a main series pokemon or animal crossing game.
Kinda your own fault if you got your hopes up or were mislead by the amiibo. Sounds kinda harsh but it's true.
No need for people to throw shade at Nintendo just because they didn't get what they wanted.

Although I'm not upset at fan reactions at all, I am more upset about how people are trashing Nintendo for not coming up with an official fifth game of AC than I am hearing about the spin-off instead of an actual game. People may have their own opinions, but it's a good to not judge a game by its cover as it's unwise to hate one thing because they didn't get to see something else.

I actually didn't give a **** about HHD before. Now I've seen a bit more of it and it looks to have a bit more to it than I thought, I'm actually kinda intrigued. If anything, today's presentation has done that.

Then there's Festival...Which I'm almost definitely going to buy. I've wanted a Mario Party type game that wasn't Mario for quite a while because I'm kind of sick of Mario (seriously, about half my games are 'Mario' and I don't even really like him outside the platformers). So if anything, I now have a new drinking game to play with friends (assuming they'll play it with me ;-

Even 'Metroid: Superstar Soccer Adventure' I'll probably like. Am I disappointed? Yes, very, but it's a multiplayer Metroid game and me and my buddy will get loads of enjoyment out of that. The only mistake they made was announcing it as THE Metroid game rather than a Metroid game being released alongside a proper game.
Same goes with Trifoce Heroes. Multplayer Zelda. *whoop!*



Two things to keep in mind:
1) The AC team were working on Splatoon...I think it was a bit of a given that there wasn't going to be a proper AC:U since that team has other commitments as well (yano, like family). You were asking to have your expectations shattered to be honest.
2) Other developers are competing with each other. Nintendo are mostly competing with Nintendo. They can't announce all their big games all at once, otherwise they're just going to split sales on their own games.





C'mon, be fair. I don't even really like Starfox and I think it looked okay.

And I've been ripping on that Metroid game since the announcement but the stupid soccer thing is seriously just a small part of what is otherwise entirely a co-op shooter. It's hardly a sports themed Metroid...Though I will continue to focus on the football part as though it is the only aspect.

On 1, Jake clearly said to me in another thread that very, very FEW people from the Animal Crossing team were working on Splatoon, he said like 10 out of 100 in a ratio. So that doesn't really factor in if they could have at least announced it or not.

On 2, what do you mean Sony and Microsoft are competing with each other while Nintendo is competing with its self? This doesn't make any sense to me? Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony are all competing with each other and have been for years.

When do you guys think the NX will release?

 

[Midoriya]

When do you guys think the NX will release?

My guess is a couple years from now.

 

[ibelleS]

I'm kind of neutral

The only thing I've been hoping for from Nintendo is Style Savvy 3 but it's not really big enough to need an E3 announcement so I'm ok with being let down (mostly by myself for expecting it)
As long as we get a release date sooner or later

 

[JCnator]

May I remind you what is a truly awful E3 presentation that you probably never heard of? Yep, it's nothing more than E3 2008, where Nintendo lacked anything interesting to announce and is largely considered to be the worst. Sure, Animal Crossing: City Folk was announced at that time, but there is nothing else interesting to see, even for the most hardcore Nintendo fans.

While E3 2015 Digital Event may be disappointing due of the lack of noteworthy surprises ? la Splatoon, it's definitely nowhere near to be one of the worsts by comparison. We do get games we wanted (sort of) and oddities here and there, which is already better than the excruciatingly few Nintendo games from E3 '08, but none of them are easily grasping my interest other than Star Fox Zero, Super Mario Maker and perhaps Xenoblade Chronicles X. Part of me is telling that some spin-off titles are actually worth playing, such as The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Hero. The presentation itself didn't disappointed me, as I got some chuckle down the road, particularly with the puppets with the style that reminded of the Muppets.

I can say that I definitely enjoyed the whole presentation, although I felt something is missing here, therefore acting like "meh" during the entire time. I wouldn't shoot at the messengers since the games shown in this presentation are to blame.

 

[Locket]

I said happy. Because I don't like Pokemon. I think it's the worst game i've ever tried. I don't really care for the Animal Crossing, so...

 

[inkling]

people poop on nintendo every-single-e3. I am not surprised by a ton of negativity, just surprised to find it on tbt (I have only been on here since feb). Especially since this is the site all hyped up about the squid game, and honestly I thought it looked a bit cheap, but creative. I never had any interest in playing it, but I am a bit older which could influence my tastes for that type of thing.


But ya, people need to calm down. Its never been like this for nintendo. They really care about their kid-friendly market. They release very few games that are super awesome, and people dont realize how awesome they are until years later. People have been pooping on nintendo since the n64. And even today you can see how tiny the n64 library is. And with the gamebcube!? Even worse. Super Mario Sunshine was considered trash.

You just need to realize theyre a teeny tiny company compared to their competitors. All they make are video games. They're not sony or microsoft. Theyve never really been able to wow their so-called "fans" the way the other companies do year after year. They just don't have the funds. The end. I feel lucky that they still make things with all the crap they have to take. Criticize all you want, but they are the one company that could use some real support instead of all this negativity and whining.

With the leak of the toys I got too excited and was disappointed today. The HHD game I'll buy but wouldn't get involved with two many cards. Just called today and they want $45 in Canada for the game. Passing on the board game. The younger kids are going to love it.

I love Skylanders but stopped after the 3rd game. There are too many Toys in my house now. I might buy the next one for Donkey Kong. One of my favorites.
The good news I got was a release date for Yoshi's Woolly World. The release date was February so I was very disappointed.

 

[Francorkun]

very disapointing e3 the wiiu born dead

 

[Idfldnsndt]

Who's. Who is. Not whose.

And idc they can make whatever they want, your complaining is hardly gonna stop them. If u dont like the games then dont look at them or whatever

Basically this.

With Happy Home Designer, it's kinda obvious they wouldn't announce a big game for Animal Crossing. I was even surprised at Amiibo Party being announced. No need to stomp your foot like children over not getting an Animal Crossing Wii U game. Grow up a little.

 

[Beardo]

I can imagine that these games, especially good ones, take a long time to make, so a little something to hold us over is nice. It'll come eventually (it kinda has to)

 

[Astro Cake]

I don't particularly care.

 

[Tao]

So apparently there's still something left to announce for Nintendo.

Hopefully it's F-Zero Golf *crosses fingers*

FALCONNNN...... FORE!

 

[spCrossing]

A N64-graphics Star Fox

Really?

I thought the game looked pretty good for a Wii U game, not to mention its still in development and graphics aren't the case unless the gameplay is fun.

And from the looks of it, it looks like another Star Fox 64. Which I can get down with.

I hope it will be Zelda Puzzle League.

 

[Zulehan]

Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival (Wii U) seems like Fortune Street (Wii) with AC characters.
