Why did people hate this Year's Digital Event?

[ApolloJusticeAC]

Just why....? We got some new games coming are way like: Star Fox Zero, Super Mario Maker, Metroid Prime (forgot name lol) and lots more. Sure we have a lot. I MEAN A LOT of spinoffs but come on guys this is what Nintendo does. Also i hate hate threads. Why do you make them? When we can dislike them by ourself? There annoying and rude. We should be happy for a new AC Game. The first AC spinoffs. Sure we wanted a new AC game on the Wii U but can't we just wait...? I mean come on guys The Bell Tree Fourms is our name of this Community. A ANIMAL CROSSING FOURM FOR GOD'S SAKE. Okay now I'm getting of topic. Anyways what did you like about this Digital Event. I thought the opening was funny. It was Miyamoto's dream to make puppets.

Because we didn't get our way, and it's hard enough being a Nintendo fan-boy sometimes.

Do we need to? No. Nintendo can do what they want.

I won't go as far to say I hated it...I'm more disappointed than anything.

The presentation of the presentation was good. I liked the puppets, it was silly an unique. I like it when I hear the little stories about games and their development, it's nice. The way they used Mario Maker to show Mario change into the next character they're talking about in between reveals, that was neat. The actual presentation of it all was great! But I didn't come here for that, I came for games.



They just didn't really show anything that made me go "wow! I'm so glad I own a Wii U/3DS right now!". It was more of a "okay, that looks kinda neat...Show me the next thing please".

Starfox, Xenoblade, Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World were pretty much 'the big games' and they all have something in common...We already knew they exist. They didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know. There wasn't the "OMG STARFOX ZERO!" because we had that moment about 6 months ago already.
Hell, one of those games (Yoshi) comes out here in 2 weeks. Did they really need to waste time at E3 on that? There's more than enough information about it floating already.

'Metroid: Superstar Soccer Adventure' doesn't really look that bad in fairness (and the 'soccer' thing seems to be just a mini game if anything), but it's not really what Metroid fans were expecting, like, at all. We were expecting Metroid, not...This...

Zelda:Triforce Heroes or Happy Home Designer? They look fine but again, not what anybody was really hoping for. Mario Tennis? Yea, sure...I guess...


Compare it with Sony or Microsoft's events and...Well, they friggin' nailed it. Even Microsoft impressed me and I'm really not a fan of the Xbone at all.



They'll probably have something great at their next Nintendo Direct once they've gotten a few of these games out on the shelves and out of the way, but you know who watches Nintendo Direct? Nintendo fans and...That's about it. They should have brought their A game to E3 to win over new fans and they really didn't. What they showed at E3 is what I expect from a direct.

Do we need to? No. Nintendo can do what they want.

Sure they can! But if Sony and Microsoft are doing what the customer wants, where is the customer likely to end up going?

Well, for me at least, most of the games felt like consolation prizes. It feels like they are biding their time until they release the NX and its new game library.

-No new big games
-New games were spinoffs
-No updates on already big games
The only big games were Starfox (which we knew about), Fire Emblem (which we knew about), Mario Maker (which we knew about), and Yoshi's Wooly World (which we knew about). Then spinoffs announced everywhere. Attack of the spinoffs. What they could've left us with was new DLC or updates for Smash, Mariokart, or Splatoon, but nope. (I mean the DLC is already DONE for Splatoon, they could've let us know when more stuff was going to come, but nope.) And pretty much everything they did announce was coming in 2016 and gave barely any info on, so there's not much to even be excited about anyways.

- - - Post Merge - - -

I guess Xenoblade X is also a big game (guess what, we already knew about it)

Which is probably still 12 months away at the very least given they only going to announce what actually is in 2016, which will likely be at least a month or two into 2016...More likely 6 months-ish in as not to p*ss off any parents who bought one for a Christmas gift. It will probably be 18 months till release so it's done for a 2016 Christmas release, possibly even try for a 2017 Spring release.



I mean, seriously, we know the Wii U will be lucky to even dream of the possibility of another 2 years, this was almost a fact even before E3, but people are talking as though Nintendo has now officially stopped all development for Wii U entirely and that the NX is going to be released next Tuesday.

 

[Cress]

Also Tao, Wooly World comes out in OCTOBER for the US, and this is an event in the US, so it is an upcoming game.

 

[Rasha]

pretty much what Tao and PuffleKirby21 said/written

Tis why I said it's coming out here since I wasn't sure about worldwide release datess, though I should have been a bit more specific. I'm forever getting worldwide released wrong with Nintendo ;-;

I forget that E3 is also actually a US focused event too since Nintendo is pretty much the only dev that really even applies to thanks to region locking and massively different worldwide release dates -.-



At the NX reveal, they could literally say "it's not region locked" and have that be the entire reveal, not even show the NX. I would still be hyped as **** that they've abandoned that relic of a tradition.

Let's see... I love the puppets... I love the digital even thing in general bc we get to hear lil side stories and in depth thoughs about the game. Like they showed original designs from old mario games. Honestly I don't understand why there's no hype for super mario maker. Sure, its not new, bc whatever there were programs and hacks have been a thing...BUT COME ON. Nintendo is actually making it, with awesome new features. And we can legit play online random people's courses etc.

Oh, god I love the muppets...um I mean puppets. Bc honestly I've seen Reggies face way too much as I am sure all of us have.

Also I'm excited to get Hyrule Warriors on my 3ds bc I never got wii u version and dont want it.


And that co-op metroid game? Awesome and exciting. God I love my 3ds xl and why wouldnt I want that. But its stuff like this sometimes makes me think nintendo listens to the fans but theyre always a few years late lol. Like nobody is ever gonna be happy. Theyre poor parents and cant provide their children with all they want. But I swear I rmemeber when everyone was complaing about lack of online co-op stuff and this year they deliver that on so many levels.

but wah no new ac.

(Jebus I dont think I wanna play ac for the next 5 years now after hearing all this complaining. Not only that, I dont wan to play ac foreverz. I like playing different stuff. Also, sometimes I'll read a book, lol.)

Thankfully, part of the region kerfuffles are going to be considerably diminished as long as developers begin using IARC, which makes getting the game classified per region much faster than before.


For me, this E3 2015 Digital Presentation was definitely less than exciting, but nowhere near as bad as some would like to believe. I mean, all of the games we wanted and knew are there, but the newly revealed games aren't that much interesting to the masses. If the transformation theme has anything to do with the actual presentation, it seems to be implying that Nintendo is currently undergoing changing. Maybe it's because they were preparing for the NX in advance, perhaps it has to do with Nintendo restructuring internally in order to better operate in the future. It's hard to deliver megatons of hype while Nintendo is transforming, which can eat a lot of time than many peoples seem to realize. Playing safe might be the most logical thing for them to do.

 

[Ramza]

Because they keep make SMT x FE look worse and worse with each new video.

 

[MotaroRIP]

Do we need to? No. Nintendo can do what they want.

Well of course they can, but that doesn't mean that's a wise business move. In fact, I think Nintendo was throwing in the towel this E3 and didn't even half-way try.

It's depressing to me as a Nintendo fan, and a Wii U and 3DS lover. I'm very upset with them. I'm rooting for Nintendo and I want them to be around forever, so of course I'm not happy when they're not living up to their potential.

I agree. Just because a company can do what they want, doesn't mean they should. They should be more in tune with their fans.

That Xenoblade trailer looked freaking amazing! I also really like the Fire Emblem crossover game, although it showed little of the actual combat.

Overall I`m still a bit dissapointed, I expected like a big surprise, but I haven`t seen it. The lineup for the 3ds looks good, but the Wii U line up still looks a bit stale. Then again, Xenoblade and the Fire Emblem game will be big, long games with a lot of replay value, so maybe its not that important. I still haven`t started some other games even....

Oh and Mario Maker is going to be awesome. Endlessly playable and new levels downloadable online from other players. Its looks really detailed. I hate the stupid Amiibo gimmicks though. Just to gimmicky for me. Stick to actual playability Nintendo, thats where you shine.

 

[Lancelot]

That metroid game isnt even a proper metroid game, it's a random robots game which nintendo slapped the metroid brand on to for more sales.

Metroid- terrible "spinoff"
Animal Crossing- HHD is looking good but that board game is garbage. They couldve just added it as dlc for mario party 10.
Star Fox- I dont really care...
Mario Maker- Meh
Yoshis Wooly World- Excitement

Seeing as the only thing I'm excited for is Yoshi's Wooly World which we have known about for a long while, I am dissapointed to say the least.

 

[Shimmer]

They all had too high of expectations and freak out when they didn't get their way. Basically nails it.

 

[Idfldnsndt]

The digital event video was funny

Exactly this, although Animal Crossing amiibo clearly mislead a LOT of people especially with there already being amiibo cards for the series. The beginning was pretty funny though lol.
