E3 2012: Gentlemen start your hype engines

[RoXer]

Halo 4 - Fake
Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Fake
Tomb Raider - Fake
Resident Evil 6 - I think fake
Raketeer or whatever - I think real
Usher - Looks fake
Blops 2 - Fake
Dead Space 3 - Missed most of it but probably fake

[Kalyx triaD]

People really applauding the literal shift in genres for Dead Space? Do people even care what it was created as or they just like the title? It's just this shooter now. I was never terribly impressed with Dead Space but eh.

[RoXer]

ANOTHER physics rehaul in madden

this time it's different

[#BROKEN Hasney]

WOAH MADDEN?! DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

[RoXer]

"No two plays will ever look the same"

ahahaha ok

[Kalyx triaD]

Here comes the buzz words...

'Infinity Engine' for Madden's 20th physics whatever. They have literally been saying the same shit for 10 years now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Doesn't EA always say the same thing about Madden every year with all these promises.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

People really applauding the literal shift in genres for Dead Space? Do people even care what it was created as or they just like the title? It's just this shooter now. I was never terribly impressed with Dead Space but eh.

Plants. One guy was booing which was awesome.

But yeah, horrible show-off.

[RoXer]

Joe Montana, Michael Irvin

I guess they're putting in classic teams this year

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Thank you baby

[RoXer]

Michael Irvin has no idea what this guy's saying

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This is almost Madden RPG. Should be good in a few games.

[Kalyx triaD]

"I got enough trouble with News at 11."

lol

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Virtual Twitter?

They managed to make Twitter even more pointless?

[RoXer]

Michael Irvin referencing his cocaine charges. Classy

[RoXer]

Michael Irvin referencing his cocaine charges. Classy

That's not fair for me to say. It could have been anything.

[Kalyx triaD]

When was the last time Sim City was presented at E3? Wow.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Sim City Social. Hoping it has a virtual Twitter for it's residents.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They have got a real Sim City game coming at least. Surely most show that.

[Kalyx triaD]

"Glassbox Simulation Engine"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Multiplayer might be cool. not been in since 2000.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Peter Moore was promoted from sports?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

BF3: PREMIUM

NO THANK YOU

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuckity fuck I have to get Battlefield Premium essentially as a season pass for those future maps.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Old Republic.

HEY GUYS WE NOW HAVE MORE SERVERS THAN PLAYERS.

[Emperor Smeat]

Fuckity fuck I have to get Battlefield Premium essentially as a season pass for those future maps.

You'd also need it now since EA now will be separating players during waiting lines for server matches with Premium users getting to jump ahead of non-Premium users anytime they want to play a match.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Medal of Honor now.

WE GET IT. YOU CAN SHOOT PEOPLE.

[Kalyx triaD]

MOH is a completely unnecessary series.

[RoXer]

Halo 4 - Fake
Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Fake
Tomb Raider - Fake
Resident Evil 6 - I think fake
Raketeer or whatever - I think real
Usher - Looks fake
Blops 2 - Fake
Dead Space 3 - Missed most of it but probably fake
Medal of Honor: Warfighter - Fake

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Damn, this is just a copy and paste of Modern Warfare.

[RoXer]

wait i dunno, maybe

he hit crouch and he un crouched so it could be real

[Kalyx triaD]

Absolutely nothing in that MOH demo seemed special.

[Kalyx triaD]

New LP was my fave part of the trailer.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

BACK TO SPORTS.

He sounds almost English. Must be FIFA in a second.

[Kalyx triaD]

Why did they separate this sports news from the Madden section?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

AGUEERRRROOOOOOOOO

Sup CSL?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Why did they separate this sports news from the Madden section?

Irvine's dealer was showing up around this time.

[Ermaximus]

Free Baird goggles for your XBL Avatar by sharing the teaser trailer on your fb.

https://www.facebook.com/gearsofwar/app_313854865355714

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Sure, FIFA 13 looks good in trailer form, hopefully it stays like this though

[#BROKEN Hasney]

EA have got UFC...

[RoXer]

hey now

[Kalyx triaD]

EA + UFC

oooooohhhhhhhhhhhh

shit

[Emperor Smeat]

Did THQ's license with UFC end recently?

[Kalyx triaD]

Wait, didn't EA snuff a UFC deal because they didn't consider it a real sport? Dana got over that, I guess. I remember him pretty riffed about it for a long time.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wait, didn't EA snuff a UFC deal because they didn't consider it a real sport? Dana got over that, I guess. I remember him pretty riffed about it for a long time.

They were bitching about each other when EA came out with their MMA game, all I remember.

[Kalyx triaD]

Making a spin on the subtitle, Most Wanted. Cute.

Anyway, Criterion is legit so at least they got that behind them.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wish they'd just make another Burnout game. Or even bring the massive crashes into NFS.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

AND AS I TYPED IT A CAR FLIPPED. FUCK YEAH.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also love how Criterion uses any opportunity to essentially release Burnout pseudo sequels.

[Fignuts]

Dana has stated numerous times that X fighter will never fight in the UFC again. And then X fighter fights in the UFC again.

Hope EA keeps Pride in. Doesn't UFC own Strikeforce now? Would be cool if they added that, along with female fighters.

[Drakul]

Wish I could play the new Simcity. Even if I upgraded my PC, DRM (especially Securom) really puts me off PC games.

[ClockShot]

I know NFS: Most Wanted was one of the last good games of the series. Dunno why Burnout wants to try their hand at it.

[RoXer]

Halo 4 - Fake
Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Fake
Tomb Raider - Fake
Resident Evil 6 - I think fake
Raketeer or whatever - I think real
Usher - Looks fake
Blops 2 - Fake
Dead Space 3 - Missed most of it but probably fake
Medal of Honor: Warfighter - Fake
Need For Speed - Fake. Dude was steering the wrong way even

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I know NFS: Most Wanted was one of the last good games of the series. Dunno why Burnout wants to try their hand at it.

Because it already looks better.

[Kalyx triaD]

Random thought:

So it's sacrilege to, say, play as a terrorist shooting American soldiers...

But there's something celebrated about playing as criminals in hundreds of games and shooting not even crooked cops at will.

Hmm...

[Fignuts]

Need for Speed looks like Burnout with police chases. In other words awesome.

[RoXer]

"Hi everyone. At Crytek we have one goal. To azsdkuhfejrhbfqwkjygvf;uibq3,mhbfgyey."

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Random thought:

So it's sacrilege to, say, play as a terrorist shooting American soldiers...

But there's something celebrated about playing as criminals in hundreds of games and shooting not even crooked cops at will.

Hmm...

They're chasing me because I pirated the game. It's a just cause.

[Kalyx triaD]

The guy love taps this generator thing and completely brings it the fuck down.

[ClockShot]

This would probably look better if comcast gave me the Spike HD channel.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Speaking of, JUST CAUSE 3 SHOULD BE PLAYABLE ON THE FLOOR GUYS.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

This would probably look better if comcast gave me the Spike HD channel.

No, it wouldn't.

REALISTIC BREASTROKE. DAY ONE.

[Kalyx triaD]

Game is very pretty, I'll give it that.

[RoXer]

Halo 4 - Fake
Splinter Cell: Blacklist - Fake
Tomb Raider - Fake
Resident Evil 6 - I think fake
Raketeer or whatever - I think real
Usher - Looks fake
Blops 2 - Fake
Dead Space 3 - Missed most of it but probably fake
Medal of Honor: Warfighter - Fake
Need For Speed - Fake. Dude was steering the wrong way even
Crysis 3 - Think it was real

[Kalyx triaD]

EA Sports/UFC was the megaton, eh?

[ClockShot]

Wow, Sessler is over on Spike.

Guess it didn't take long for him to find work.

[Emperor Smeat]

I think he got hired like a couple of days after getting fired. He was on GiantBomb's podcast a few days after getting fired mentioning he already had a new job set and wouldn't need long to be officially hired.

Ubisoft's conference should be interesting since they have a bunch of Wii U games set to be shown but could probably hold them all off for tomorrow as part of the mega conference people are expecting Nintendo to have for games.

Epic Mickey 2 is getting a special presentation right now on Gametrailers. Looks pretty good.

[Kalyx triaD]

On the EA/UFC thing... (http://kotaku.com/5505558/ufc-chief-backs-off-threat-to-ban-fighters-still-loathes-ea)

[LoDownM]

Was already excited for Crysis 3 and Sim City tho, so even more now. Need For Speed Burnout Most Wanted. WANT. Loved playing Burnout 2 online and just playing for takedowns, hopefully this is just as fun.

Edit: Oh and of course, excited for my yearly NHL fix from EA.

[Emperor Smeat]

Nintendo hosting a 3rd E3 press conference for just the 3DS since they want tomorrow to be just about the Wii U.

Wednesday 6pm to 7pm PST with a lot of 3DS news and games promised.

http://kotaku.com/5915648/nintendo-has-so-much-stuff-to-show-it-needs-three-conferences

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Revengance being played on GT:TV right now.

Holy shit.

[Kalyx triaD]

lol

[#BROKEN Hasney]

OH GOD IT'S WRESTLEMANIA ALL OVER AGAIN

[Kalyx triaD]

Do they even know game journalists are in the audience?

[Emperor Smeat]

so is this when The Rock comes out for his match? :shifty:

[Kalyx triaD]

This woman is back. The new Carrie.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Who in the fuck

[Emperor Smeat]

Is that the same person who voices Lana from the Archer animated show?

Just checked from someone who's covering a live blog of this and Yeup she is.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh good lord, another FPS.

[Kalyx triaD]

WHOA

[#BROKEN Hasney]

With tits.

[Kalyx triaD]

What?

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't know what was going on here.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That was actually interesting enough to hold my attention despite being yet another FPS.

[Kalyx triaD]

Avengers game trailer begins with characters that can be in the movie series.

[Kalyx triaD]

New Stark armor from the 616, guess it's based on comics rather than the movie. Despite the movie title logo.

[Kalyx triaD]

Despite the comeback last year, kinda still can't believe I'm looking a Rayman game in 2012.

[Emperor Smeat]

Rayman Legends looks great.

So far that game and Splinter Cell are what I like the most from Ubisoft right now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ubi is bringing the heat, got the dancing out the way first.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I know, LOL MORE ZOMBIES, but this looks fucking awesome.

ZOMBIU

[#BROKEN Hasney]

M rated Wii U exclusive.

[OssMan]

What are you awtching

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ubisoft conference.

http://e3.gamespot.com/press-conference/ubisoft-e3/?tag=Topslot;UbisoftPressConferenceLive;UbisoftPressConference;WatchTheLiveStream

[Kalyx triaD]

Alright Ubisoft is kinda sorta kicking ass right now.

[Kalyx triaD]

PETA's not gonna like this.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah. Really hope they can drop the always-on DRM for AC3, it's looking hot. That Wii U lineup looked pretty damn good and FarCry 3 looked.... Interesting.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

PETA's not gonna like this.

They showed more footage of Tomb Raider on GTTV. Killed a deer. Well thought it was killed until you walked up to it and it was still moving, was kinda hard to watch.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Pretty sure these Frenchies hate us Brits. First the London zombie outbreak and now this needless Brit slaughter.

Why's it bad to be a terrorist, but not this? :shifty:

[Emperor Smeat]

LOL " more than 17 people" goof up when talking about how many people watch esports.

This guy announcer sucks badly.

[Kalyx triaD]

Actually kind of enjoying his nervous gaffs.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

PRO GAMERS

BROS V HOTTIES

Well I hate this Shootmania now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fuck e-Sports.

[Kalyx triaD]

This game looks like shit.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They keep talking about Counter Strike.

The 12 year old CS:Source looks better than this.

[RoXer]

This isn't bad for an f2p game.

...what?

what's that?

It's not?

Oh.

[Kalyx triaD]

eSports I don't mind, only when they try to preach it equel or superior than sport-sports. Seems reaching and they should just take it as is.

Those gals would have won if they made the guys sandwiches.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Tribes: Ascend and Blacklight destroy that Shootmania crap.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

NEW IP

[#BROKEN Hasney]

If this is a shooter I will slam my mouse.

NO, NOT MY PORN

[Kalyx triaD]

Hot damn this is real time.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

CtOS is Sandbox looking.

OK, I am pumped

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Uses a device to disrupt communications

[Kalyx triaD]

In a stunning kind of irony, it seems you play as an internet troll.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

If done right, the gadgets you have on you could really open up some interesting puzzles and objectives.

AND HOOKERS

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Some dude was HIV Positive.

I am really really looking forward to this.

[Kalyx triaD]

Looks like a less violent, more techy Assassins Creed.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Causes a pile-up then slow-mo gun.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Looks like a less violent, more techy Assassins Creed.

The violence part didn't hold once a dude's head got shot off.

Might be a PC version, but looks too good for 360/PS3, yet not good enough for next gen.

[RoXer]

I am so in

[#BROKEN Hasney]

WATCH_DOGS is the real name. Man, UbiSoft frigging nailed it this year.

[Emperor Smeat]

Watch_Dogs sounds amazing from what was shown off.

[Kalyx triaD]

Shit certainly hit the fan, but it seemed more reserved to me. Gun fights are meh these days. Even the execution was off-screen.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

"Do that shit"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yu Suzuki is going to show up at Sony's conference.

I'll believe that one when I see it.

[VSG]

Fuck missed Ubisoft.

[OssMan]

Anyone who uses acronyms without first explaining what they are gets banned

[LoDownM]

Liked Watch_dogs. AC3 and that were both equally awesome.

[Mercenary]

Watch Dogs made me hard. I must have it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Sony's up.

[Kalyx triaD]

Ellen Page stars in Quantum Theory's new game "Beyond".

[Kalyx triaD]

All-Stars Battle Royale now.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Beyond looks interesting. I just hope it's more involved than Heavy Rain.

All Stars can be played cross platform with the PS3 and PS Vita

Pretty bad ass.

[Kalyx triaD]

Smash Bros HD, but not so much a bad thing.

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems like way too much jumping going on during the Battle Royale demo fight. The announcer guy in the game sort of sounds similar to the one from Brawl.

The cross play is a nice feature.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Nathan Drake and Big Daddy announced for the game. Which means they'e definitely bringing in characters from 3rd party games.

[RoXer]

Hey waitasecond, THAT'S A GIRL!!!

[RoXer]

Were sea battles really this dramatic?

And what part of America is this?

[Kalyx triaD]

Sorry, after the whole secret assassin's guild thing they feared it would be too realistic. So they took liberties.

[OssMan]

wtf this four player shooting game started out of nowhere

[RoXer]

Do dudes still respawn at an annoying rate like in FarCry 2?

[Kalyx triaD]

This is exactly how people playing together talk, eh?

[OssMan]

aren't these the people who designed the game

shouldn't they know what all the enemies are going to do

[RoXer]

"Welcome to the world of FarCry"

That's great but do bad guys still respawn after I kill them and leave for like 1/4 mile and then come back and they're right there as if nothing ever happened

[RoXer]

This is exactly how people playing together talk, eh?

aren't these the people who designed the game

shouldn't they know what all the enemies are going to do

Yeah this one was definitely fake, pretty obvious

[Kalyx triaD]

TELLING US THAT EFFECTS WILL BE ON YOUR TV

[Kalyx triaD]

WHO DO THEY THINK WATCHES E3

[Kalyx triaD]

Peep tags.

[RoXer]

[Emperor Smeat]

Crowd starting to hesitate with the cheering. Seems like they don't really like certain stuff shown but don't want to be like last year with the booing when AT&T was announced as a provider for the Vita.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm sure they'd boo if they wanted to.

[Emperor Smeat]

THQ doesn't have anything for E3 but they did have an announcement today.

THQ San Diego studio shuts down with all its employees fired. That studio was responsible for the development of WWE All-Stars and before today what was supposed to have been the next UFC game before EA took the license.

http://kotaku.com/5915701/thq-chooses-today-of-all-days-to-fire-employees-close-studio

[LoDownM]

Assassin's Creed 3 wins E3 for me. Saw a few games I want to play, but AC3 is at the top of the list.

[Fignuts]

Ubisoft continues to be my fav developer this generation.

Assassins Creed 3 looks great, but Splinter Cell knocked it out of the park for me.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Looks like it was a good idea to go to sleep for Sony, nothing really of note. Last of Us looks great but we knew about that.

SAVE_US.NINTENDO... At least where the console makers are concerned, UbiSoft nailed it.

[Fignuts]

Prolly gonna buy Rayman Origins this week now.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I wanted but, but going to hold off until the summer Steam sale and see if it shows up on that.

[Splaya]

Did Square Enix release anything or are they later on in the days ahead?

[Kalyx triaD]

Later maybe.

[Blitz]

Watch Dogs and AC3 look awesome. Everything else bores the fuck out of me.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Really hoping Reggie and Iwata come out to the Run DMC of the DX theme giving crotch chops.

KINGS OF ROCK WHAT?

[Extreme Angle]

Toboscus > Aisha

[Dukelorange]

Aisha Tyler is hot... point blank...

[Extreme Angle]

She's annoying as fuck...

[VSG]

Any place to catch recaps?

[OssMan]

Feel like Nintendo is gonna be kinda boring, only gonna talk about Wii U

[Ermaximus]

Wii U and MiiVerse. Other than that, Nintendo won't talk about shit.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, 3DS is tomorrow. An hour on Wii U.

Kind of hoping it's mostly games since they already did the console features yesterday.

[Drakul]

Pretty sure they did say they would talk about games the entire time.

[Drakul]

Official site for Nintendo's E3 show (http://e3.nintendo.com/).

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Had an image of Reggie coming out drunk, dropping his pants and shitting on the Wii U tablet, throwing the shit onto the projector and yelling "IT WORKS LIKE THAT, BITCHES" then falling off the stage.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

PIKMIN YOU FUCKS

[#BROKEN Hasney]

PIKMIN

[#BROKEN Hasney]

HAROOOOOOOOO

[#BROKEN Hasney]

IT'S SO PRETTY

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wait, controls look pretty horrible. Why am I using motion plus and the tablet?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Reggie bringing the beef.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

No poof points, 23 games. Bring it.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

"No poof points". Talks social.

Dead to me Reggie.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Batman: Arkham City.

Sure, I finished it a year ago. Please go on.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Scribblenauts Unlimited.

God I love these games.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Can actually build things and multiplayer too. Pumped for that.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Wii Fit

Moving on

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Sing

Moving on.

[Ermaximus]

Scribblenauts Unlimited.

God I love these games.

Love this series! :y:

[Emperor Smeat]

Mario is all about the gold now?

Wouldn't that make him Wario instead.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Mario is all about the gold now?

Wouldn't that make him Wario instead.

I just said that in DToid chat!.

Paper Mario though. Yay.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Lego City.

COME THE FUCK ON.

it looks alright but... Come on.

[Emperor Smeat]

So this is what Grand Theft Auto would look like but with Legos and without the hookers.

[Drakul]

Show me Smash Bros, dammit!

[Drakul]

Am I the only one getting a few glitches in the stream?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Just Dance.

We're almost done as well.

Pistol is in my mouth guys.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

ZombiU4Dead looks coolish, but another FPS withs ome gimmicks.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nintendo Land.

Some sort of box in I think.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Yeah, mini-game collection to show off the console.

They better not be charging for this anyway.

[Ermaximus]

Could come with the system like Wii Sports did?

[Emperor Smeat]

Probably will considering how popular Wii Sports became and it would make it 3 systems in a row to come with some sort of software included (Wii, 3DS).

[Drakul]

No Smash Bros :(.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Ending on that.

Wow.

Pikmin and Scribblenauts? Oh hells yes. But I can't buy a console based on that. Maybe Tank Tank Tank? :shifty:

Like someone gave them an ally-oop with the awfulness of Sony and MS and they hit the rim.

[OssMan]

Ubisoft is seriously the worst company, everything of theirs is exactly the same

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nintendo Land =

http://i.imgur.com/ZDhj3.jpg

[Emperor Smeat]

Seems like there should have been a lot more big games shown off, I wonder if Nintendo is going to have another quick post-press conference announcement for other games considering that's how Pikmin 3 was first teased at and I think Luigi's Mansion for the 3DS.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Platinum are showing off some weird RPG for Wii U on GTTV. Looks interesting, like a mix of Pikmin, Katamari and Crystal Chronicles.

[LuigiD]

Feel like the console conferences kinda sucked this year. A few games were showcased that were awesome...but there was no "HOLY SHIT" moments. bah. :-\

[LoDownM]

Sounds like I didn't miss much from Nintendo.

[Ermaximus]

Sounds like I didn't miss much from Nintendo.

The whole conference this year seemed a bit lacking I'd say. Glad I ended up passing on it this year.

[LoDownM]

Ubisoft's and Sony's weren't bad. Microsoft's was beyond boring except for Tomb Raider and Black Ops 2. EA's was meh till Most Wanted/Crysis 3.

[Emperor Smeat]

A superhero Pikmin-like game was revealed for the Wii U after Nintendo's press conference.

http://www.screwattack.com/trailers/freakin-super-hero-pikmin

Ubisoft's and Sony's weren't bad. Microsoft's was beyond boring except for Tomb Raider and Black Ops 2. EA's was meh till Most Wanted/Crysis 3.
Felt that Ubisoft had the best one this year and overall had the best showing considering how they showed up in all of the Big 3's conferences with a chunk of time in each. Actually expected Sony to show off more of their version of Smash Bros but they barely did anything besides a match and some small talking.

EA's felt a bit redundant with all the shooters like how the new Medal of Honor game seems to be just like Battlefield although the previous MoH game did reboot more into the Battlefield type style.

[LoDownM]

Forgot, Sim City was a high point of EA's as well.

[Drakul]

When is Nintendos Roundtable? They usually announce more stuff there.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

They didn't say any times or anything, just "tonight".

[ClockShot]

In catch up mode right now and watched Microsoft's presser. Skipped through the crap I didn't care about, like the Usher mini concert. I wasn't impressed. Splinter Cell looked awesome and that was about it.

I kinda wanna throw out my xbox because the damn thing is becoming more of an entertainment hub instead of just a gaming console.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

And replace it with what exactly? That's the problem.

Splinter Cell, Halo 4, Gears 4 and Forza on 360.

Last Of Us, David Cage's interactive movie, Sony Smash Bros and God of War 4 on PS3.

Games you've already played on Wii U, along with Mario, Pikmin, Minigames and Scribblenauts on Wii U. (and something called TANK TANK TANK).

Either I'm jaded as fuck or they all waddled under the low bar I have them.

Mass Effect 3 for the Wii U. You know, for the select few people who haven't played it yet.

[LoDownM]

A Nintendo console, with a potential weak launch line up? Surely you jest.

[Ermaximus]

What is their launch line-up anyways LoDownM?

I only heard about Mass Effect 3.

[LoDownM]

I have no idea, but going by what Hasney listed, not anything amazing. Thats why I said "potential."

Lucky bastards. They might get to see a potentially good ending first time!

Surprised with some of these that they don't do a pack though. Like a Batman double pack or Mass Effect trilogy.

[Ermaximus]

Well, if they did that then surely they'd have to re-release Mass Effect for the PS3, wouldn't they?

The only thing they said was "Launch Window" was Pikmin and that was after the conference.

Honestly though, the last console I remember that had more than one game I wanted at launch was the Dreamcast. Launch line-ups generally suck but the games they show off for the future when they announce them are usually great, like the 3DS.

This had neither.

Forgot about the MS deal for 1.

Maybe just 2 and 3 with that comic book thingy.

I didn't watch Nintendo's conference btw, I was just assuming things. I didn't wake up until after it started and honestly haven't had much interest in Nintendo since Gamecube.

And Hasney, I think you have become too jaded. Maybe stay away from Destructoid/Jim Sterling stuff for awhile.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

UbiSoft did nail it though. I'm still in shock after their last 2 years.

Just shows what one good surprise can do backed up by some solid looking already known games.

It seems common that Nintendo's latest console gains momentum in the second year.

[Drakul]

Really think the 3DS Mario game with the whole gold coin thing could probably have been done as a Wario game. Or, with a few tweaks, could have been Wario Bros.

Maybe make the game about collecting a set number of coins in each level. Have enemies that steal coins from you in various ways. Pick Pockets that bump into you, guys with fishing hooks or vacuum cleaners to take cash from you at a distance. Parody Sonic and have a bunch of coins fly out of you when you hit spikes etc.
Throw Wario & Waluigi into the main character roles and you're done.

Watched Konami's presser.

I'm sold on Lords of Shadow 2. Give me that goodness ASAP. I am kinda curious on what's going on for the secret castlevania 3DS game that's in development.

Jury's out on revengence.

[Kalyx triaD]

Revengence looks fucking awesome.

[Emperor Smeat]

Depends when the Wii U is released but Assassin's Creed 3 would be a launch game and most of the ports can be safely assume to be a launch game.

Only game from Nintendo I noticed that has a launch date is Nintendo Land unless I missed the date for Pikmin 3 and any surprise announcements. Nintendo does have the habit of randomly announcing stuff out of nowhere during E3 which makes people question why they didn't bother to include it in the actual conference.

[Drakul]

Warioware is coming to the Wii U.

I'd have prefered an actual Wario game. Biker Wario was cool at first but I'd rather have Greedy Plumber Wario.

I'm with you there. Wario hasn't had a proper game since, what? Wario Land? Even then, that game wasn't as good as it could have been.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I'd love a proper Wario game, but I cannot speak ill of Warioware at all.

Seem to hate all mini-game collections bar that one and possibly Mario Party when they're on form.

[Ermaximus]

You know what game they should remake? That bug swatting game from Mario Paint.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wasn't Wario Shake It for the Wii or something similar in name a traditional Wario type game?

Has Nintendo said anything about the Kirby 20th Anniversary set that is supposed to come out later this year? Stopped watching E3 after the Nintendo conference and don't think its been mentioned so far from the websites I usually go to for gaming news and stuff.

Same for the rumored talk about Metroid having its own anniversary set since its the 25th anniversary of the series in the US and they teased last year of doing one for it.

[Kalyx triaD]

How about fucking Mario Paint itself. Blows my mind that it didn't come to Wii, and there seems to be no plans for a WiiU version, which makes even more sense.

[Drakul]

Wario Shake it was an actual Wario game and it was excellent. All the more reason to release more of them and ditch the Warioware series for at least a while.

[Emperor Smeat]

Even though Nintendo didn't say anything about prices for the Wii U, a few places in Japan are rumoring around a $385 price there (roughly 3,000 yen range) which means it will be lower in North America since Nintendo usually prices hardware in the US around $25-$50 less than in Japan.

No clue what they do for Europe or their history with European prices.

It also appears Spike Tv had an exclusive deal with Nintendo to show off certain games which is why Project-P from Platinum Games didn't show up in their press conference nor some other games like the Zelda and Donkey Kong levels in Nintendo Land which is supposedly the best parts of the game.
