Topic: E3 2012 |OT| Wii U scores, Kinect snores, and lol move

But they say it will only have a 1mb hard drive

I'm inclined to agree but a few of the non gaming stuff excited me.

Wonder which will do better Wii fit U or Nike + Fitness.

All I know is im expecting sony to get crushed in sales this holiday season.

Also why was the vita thrown under the bus.

sony didn't have any news on the Vita?

Nope. It's sad, too. Only TGS can save it now.

This time you beat me to posting an internet thing (referring to Non-Specific Action Figure from a few days ago).

Anyway, Runner2 Wii U isn't enough to win me over when I can just get it on PS3.

Sonic won E3

It'll certainly be convenient, should I want to move everything over and only break out my Wii for GameCube games, as odd as that sounds.

Mostly, though, restore points might determine whether I decide to move more than a couple of things over. They're the only way I'm beating ActRaiser.

The severe lack of Vita news was depressing. That was the only reason why I watched the Sony conference. They had plenty of time to could've used to talk about it, but instead what we got was 15 or 20 minutes of that Wonderbook s**t.

So I just follow the Nintendo reporting mostly, whats the general concensus on which of the 3 had the better presentation? Was there a clear winner or were they all great, just ok or bad? Don't want a flame war, just wondering.

They were pretty much all terrible. MS mainly focused on Kinect, a halfhearted Wii U copy by using your smartphone or tablet with your 360 as "SmartGlass", and non-gaming apps, again. Sony pretended Vita doesn't exist, except for use as a PS3 controller, and highlighted a Harry Potter "storybook" PS move thing for 20 mins. Nintendo only announced what we knew was coming (Pikmin 3 & New Super Mario Bros), everything else was PS360 ports, only 10 mins of 3DS coverage (to be fair, 3DS is getting it's own mini conference tomorrow), and there was not the slightest hint of Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, or Smash! Instead their big reveal was Nintendo Land (essentially the Wii Sports for Wii U, except it isn't packed with the system).

The general consensus seems to be that all of the three had rather mediocre performances, and that Ubisoft outshone everybody.

Why do people ignkore that I have posted proof that smart glass had been worked on before the wii u rveal.

I mean by that logic isn't wii u just an ipad airplay rip off?
Anywho

@Sony_70: I actually came out of that segment relieved.

I was genuinely concerned for a minute that they were going to force Reggie to dance.

@RevolverLink: I honestly hoped that he would just for the gifs.

Yeah thats the impression that I got, I'm still excited for the Wii U, will probably wait a year or so after release since I've never been a first adopter. Both New Super Mario Bros. look awesome along with Rayman, Skylanders 2, Scriblenauts and possibly Lego Cities and Batman AA. Also the Tridium 2 Wii U download.

I really hope that with the Wii U we finally get downloads like X-Men Arcade, Simpsons, TMNT 1 & 2 and other arcade titles.

@Sony_70
Before the WiiU reveal in 2011- sure. But work on WiiU started in 2008. You can say the idea stemmed from 2000 when they were preparing to link Gamecube to GBA (and I know GCN and GBA came out in 2001).

What's your point? Everything in the world can be considered a rip-off. It's nothing new

Hey guys that 3DS is such a Virtual Boy ripoff. Those jerks at Nintendo!

(spoiler: those exact words were probably said somewhere on the internet at one point unironically)

Yep everyone steals.

We better get a pacman verus remake.

pretty much how I imagined E3 was gonna be. Already knew alot of WiiU stuff from net rumours and leaks from the past 6 months and that Nintendo will now get a million 3rd/FPS.
Microsoft is still trying to make their XBOX more like a computer than a gaming console and still trying hard to make the kinect seem appealing (I don't know anyone that uses it TBH)
Sony is trying to hide the move and hope nobody ever remembers it.
All 3 companies will now get an onslaught of the same 3rd party games.
