Oh, I don't know. We got Other M not so long ago. Alas, it didn't really get it right so I suspect they're letting Samus lie low for a bit. Wouldn't be surprised if we got a 3DS title at some point, though. -
Hopefully that's only on the pad, and a result of the wireless bandwith to the controllers from the system. Not too bad I think.Originally posted by Shozuki View PostComment

Other M wasn't bad but I don't really class that as a real Metroid game, personally.Originally posted by Wil View Post
That's all I want. A 2D 3DS game...even if it has to be in 3D, a proper 2D Metroid, with full controls. No first person rockets etc. Keep everything flowing, no stop and pop. It isn't Gears of War!Comment

But they designed the damn thing they should know how to make it not happenOriginally posted by Alex WS View PostComment

Seeing as not even Intel has cracked the wireless video code with their WIDI tech, that Nintendo lets the controller both send and receive all that data (including the camera stream) in 60fps is pretty unprecedented. They could build in two transceivers in the console, and double the allocated processing power for the controller stream, but I can't imagine that being feasible at the price point they are targeting - or we are willing to pay. I mean we're already crying about it potentially costing more than 200 pounds. We want it all, don't we?Originally posted by evilthecatuk View PostComment

^^ ah I'm not really super in to that sort of tech didn't quite realise its that complex thought they were just being cheapasses as per usual, fair enough if they can't do it for the $
Would it work with a wire? Like USB or something could be a small request if it made it smooth(ie 60fps)Comment

As this was shown in the pre conference show, some of you may of missed this.
Best FPS pad ever?Comment

Well i have had a break from E3 and i have had time to put thins a bit into perspective. I like just about everyone else on here could just not believe how bad that was from Nintendo. Some of you have said that Nintendo cant please people sometimes, they either cant have enough 3rd party support i.e Batman and Mass Effect 3 or they want first party games at launch. But i think we have seen from the real overkill of the Mario games that if they did this with Zelda, Metroid etc then we would eventually have the same problems with the current Mario games, that in my opinion any announcemt of a new Mario game now is rather cold when a few years ago i would have been jumping with excitement, if Nintendo are not carefull this will become there Call Of Duty.
Now this leads me onto my biggest complaint. When they showed the 3DS for the first at time at E3 they showed a huge amount of game footage of games in production, from memory they have done this with Gamecube and the N64 before that, i just can not fathom why they chose not to do this for Wii U. That little teaser for me has always been my incentive to really want a Nintendo console on day 1. With Wiii U i have absolutly no idea what they have in production and for me there is just no incentive to go and purchase on launch day.
Im sorry Batman Arkham City is a year old game that can be brought for ?10 or so for Xbox/PS3 and i dont know who Reggie is kidding if he says its not the same game, it is just with some touchscreen stuff, wow. Again same thing for Mass Effect 3, already been there and done that, just like most people, AC3? No thanks i can just buy the same game on Xbox/PS3 im sure most people will have one of, im not going to spend ?250+ on new hardware just for the luxuary of fancy, tagged on touch screen stuff, which will more than likely just be some inventory thing.
Now i know its early days and all these problems could very well sorted by launch, more games could well be shown but if the 3DS launch is anything to go by i wont hold my breath. Maybe they have much more to reveal as the weeks and months go by but from first impressions of a new generation of Nintendo hardware its not a good one, the fact they did not even mention the actuall console was very strange as surely its equally as important as the controller. Im a Nintendo fan, have been since the NES days and i love there games, i really really hope they can pull this off as my worry is if this fails then we may in the furture see a very different Nintendo, i dont care how much Yen they have in the bank to keep them going for decades no company is unsinkable, just ask Sega and Atari.Comment

Incredibly underwhelming show from Nintendo. Nothing from Retro Studios? Doesn't look like I will be buying the Wii-U at launch now so I suppose at least I will save a bit of money as a consequence.Comment

Just watched the conference, it was disappointing to say the least. P-100 looks great and pulls a few genres together in a fun way.
However, Batman and Mass Effect 3? what fool decided to show that at E3? surely that's something you sly out on a rainy Wednesday not a global Video game show.
If these are the launch games then no purchase at launch for me. what a crap E3 from the big 3.
Always Tokyo Game show I guess........Comment

P-100 looks amazing, wonder why they didn't show it. Like Sony and MS, they spent way too much time on showing stuff that won't appeal to anyone on this forum. Excited for tomorrow's 3DS preser. Need that Fire Emblem 3DS announcement for North America as neither of my two 3DS's are PAL.Comment

The thing is people keep saying maybe they are holding back for Tokyo but im pretty sure Nintendo all but bypass it every year, unless they are intending on bringing back Spaceworld i would not hold my breath for Tokyo.Comment

Maybe they rushed to the pumps to clear up the 3ds games shortage last year and now the powder is a little dry? How many internal dev teams do Nintendo have?Comment

Can't understand why people are moaning about launch ports being shown. They're hyping a console launch and it's not like the games are a bunch of stinkers. There are plenty of people yet to play them.
No amazing surprises I guess, and I would have liked a bigger deal made of Pikmin 3. P-100 looks wonderful, Zombi U shows promise and is looking like it could be proper survival horror.
I think Nintendo's approach is really reassuring - Even Nintendo Land looked like a much better way of presenting a minigame bundle. The New Mario Bros game looked lovely with its further embellished art-style, and on the 3DS side I thought Paper Mario looked awesome.
I dunno, maybe I just got tired of all the depressing headshots and first-person grinding in the other conferences, but I think Nintendo did a good job.Last edited by crocky-chocky; 05-06-2012, 20:44.Comment

I think they have enough internal dev teams themselves, the concern for me is it seems to be that the cupboard is more than just a little bit bare in terms of third paty support for Wii U, at least for the moment. The fact nothing from EA, Activision, Capcom etc was even mentioned being in development, not even on a slide like when the 3DS was announced properly 2 years ago was shown. It cant be down to time contraints to what they can show during the course of the hour or so they had, why spend 10mins on Nintendo Land or whatever they are calling it. I would suggest that means they are all sitting on the fence before ploughing serious money into Wii U.Comment
