NX will be both, an iOS-like ecosystem with home and handheld devices. Nintendo clearly don't have the resources or third party support to maintain two platforms. If they learn one lesson from this painful exercise it needs to be that.

Another nugget from GAF. Apparently Platinum are also trying to help Miyamoto make something out of last years E3 demo Project Guard. Miyamoto has apparently also confirmed that the Project Giant Robot demo/title has been placed on holdComment

Also, Nintendo are lining up a whole lot more outsourced spin-offsComment

Nintendo are finished. They have done what Sega did. Destroyed confidence in their hardware. Wii U sales are poor and support dire.
They must go third party. No longer a player outside of mobile gaming.Comment

Maybe NX is an app that makes PS4/XB1/PCs a Nintendo console. They do keep calling it a platform, never a console.
Anyway... talking to IGN Miyamoto said this: "We're here to talk about Star Fox but Zelda is still coming to Wii U, so don't worry about that.My thing with E3 is that we always focus on what's coming out in the immediate future. We have some really great Zelda footage and, at some point we will be showing that off, but not today."
If ever there was a day that footage needed to make an appearance surely it is today. I get the immediate future thing but this is the third E3 we've seen Yoshi and Xenoblade so WTF does it matter if Zelda comes out after the next E3, just some sight of progress would be nice.
Hastily put together Nintendo Direct with Zelda footage and loads of Splatoon/Smash Bros. update info coming with the next 4-6 weeks I bet.Last edited by Pikate; 16-06-2015, 23:32.Comment

Nintendo keep on giving today. Star Fox Zero is not expected to have any kind of online multiplayer. FFS, i appreciate they are focusing on the single player aspect but Jesus Nintendo, online dogfighting could have been really quite fun in multiplayer.Comment

Bet Iwata has fun at next weeks investors meetingComment

He's basically issued an apology for the E3 Direct on Twitter.Originally posted by Superman Falls View Post

I really hate to have to agree with this. It's all I've been telling people all morning.Originally posted by nakamura View Post
Like Pikate, and what I've said many times before, there's no way I can justify a new hardware purchase next year. Even if it launches with Metroid/F-Zero. The treatment of their existing home console user-base is absolutely disgusting, especially after having things like MK8, Smash, Splatoon... You kind of hope that trend would continue instead of this is MegaCD/32X style send off.
Is this kind of business practice a Japanese thing, or what? Just drop s**t and try and repair it with a complete replacement? That doesn't work in video games, as Sega had once tragically proven.
Not even Guts can defend this.Comment

How did a e3 show like that even get approved in the first place, any half wit could of looked at the show notes and immediately dismissed it as garbage.
It's not like this was a last min show no one knew about.Comment

The sense really feels like like they've learnt nothing from the WiiU launch and are epically out of touch with the market. You get occasional flashes of their game design quality with one or two titles but even their biggest move (amiibo) was lifted from someone else. Not an issue if you're reading the market to follow trends but if you are, why stop at one idea? Especially when you're tanking.Comment

No point in them going 3rd party even. It's not just the WiiU hardware that's a problem now, they've largely run out of ideas. Feels a bit bad saying that after Splatoon I must admit though but that's such a rarity. Nintendo are actually dead to me at this point.
My WiiU is blinking a blue light at me. Like it's got something interesting and fun to tell me but I know that when I pick the controller up it'll be announcing a poxy amigo or something equally ****e.
EDIT: It was inviting me to try NINDIE games for free.Last edited by Brad; 17-06-2015, 07:19.Comment

Also Metroid Prime Trilogy is on sale. Might get it. Those were good days.
Still, even with the godawful show I'm not yet regretting my WiiU purchase. ZombiU is great and I still have a whole bunch to get and play.Comment

If Nintendo went software-only, would that be a problem? I love Nintendo games but I don't really feel like they need their own hardware to shine, especially when that hardware is a sticking point.Comment

Their good games are so few and far between that having to buy their hardware to play them seems stupid at this point, particularly when the competition's hardware is always a generation ahead meaning you don't get any decent 3rd party support.
@dogg good choice on Prime Trilogy. I *think* I got it when it was about 8 quid or something ridiculous.Comment
