By the way, I am loving the gifs. The Seven gif and the Satoru Iwata/Iron Man ones are hilarious.

People were on the fence with the Wii U because they wanted to see what was coming from Sony and Microsoft. Sony did a good show but it was just more of the same since the days of the first Playstation and Microsoft totally bombed. People have now realised that "Next Gen" wasn't what they thought it would be and there was no real need to wait to get a next gen machine. Microsoft have basically given Nintendo 8 months to sell consoles so by the time the holiday season comes round the choice is buying games at £40 or buying a brand new machine that will set them back £300+ (estimated). A lot of the games coming out on PS4 and Xbox One are also coming out on PS3 and Xbox 360. They are going to put themselves in a tough position very soon. These days buying a new console is a huge investment.

After E3, Nintendo will be in an incredible position because it will be showcasing huge system sellers with many out this year. Provided they can get the software out, this will see them sail comfortably through the holiday season.

When I watched the Xbox presentation I typed a message "Shigeru Miyamoto, Regi Fils Aime and Satoru Iwata will be clinking champagne glasses" and it looks like they will be.

@edhe No, John Ritter was enjoyable to watch.

It is a fact, that without being backward compatible, the PS2 would have had a terrible start. I know so many people who bought the PS2 at launch just because it could play original Playstation games.

Why does this site keep bringing up Rare like they are significant anymore? They will be bringing their classic to Xbox One but the people who made the original game great won't be working on it. Rare, who cares.

Before you call me a fanboy, Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero are part of my game collection, unfortunately.

SEGA!!!! RELEASE THESE CLASSICS OUTSIDE OF JAPAN!!!! I mean, seriously, are they worried that 3D classics won't sell? I have all of the Nintendo ones, except the stupid fighting one. I may get that if it is free, maybe. 3D Sonic, Altered Beast, Space Harrier. They are all guaranteed sellers.

Maybe they realised that Xbox One looks like crap and people who want to play games are yet to be convinced by the machine. It is more likely that Disney wants games on the Wii U though.

@nik1470 Excuse me, the C64 made up my childhood until I won my SNES in 1993. There were some fantastic games on it too. Codemasters cartoon adventures such as Dizzy ruled the roost and you were able to get full games for £5 or less. I still have my large collection of tapes. Sure, the games took about 3 minutes to load up but once they did, fun was had. The best game for loading was Ghostbusters. While the game loaded you could play space invaders while you waited. I have lots of fond memories of that old machine.

If you listen closely, you can hear Shigeru Miyamoto, Reggie Fils Aime and Satoru Iwata clinking champagne glasses.

@Mqblank Agreed, Nintendo has the console already on the market and has system selling software ready to be shown at E3. I'm not counting Sony or Microsoft out yet but there is a lot of ground to cover by both companies. Nintendo is in a strong position this year.

@SkywardLink98 Xbox One buyers will be hardcore gamers, where was the hook for them in that turd of a presentation? The machine is a PC, plain and simple. Hardcore gamers who want all the features the Xbox One has to offer will most likely already own a gaming PC. I know I do.

I'm perfectly happy with my Wii U and PS3. I don't need these "Next Gen" piles of crap. To the people saying "wait for E3", you are right, games will probably be shown then. However, why produce this reveal, which is designed to generate hype if you are going to talk about everything other than games when it is a games console?

@Caryslan Umm, the PS4 show was about 85% games. The only hardware they showed was the controller. You don't go to promote a games console without showing any games. There was nothing in that presentation that got me even remotely interested in Xbox One.

@CanisWolfred Please name the exclusives. I have forgotten already.

This video pretty much sums up this presentation

No Xbox One for me. My PC can do most of what Xbox One can do.

Why are people applauding this crap? It is a games console and they haven't shown any games. They have spent an hour talking about how it changes TV.

Oh, oh, oh, yet another Call of Duty game (yawn)

Halo gets announced, but it isn't a game, it's a TV show. WHERE ARE THE GAMES!?!?!?!

@CHECKit095 Minority Report gesture controls with a PC = Xbox One.

Quantum Break just looked like a "blockbuster" end of the world movie trailer ala 2012. That wasn't a game trailer.

@Midnight3DS That's the quote of the day right there.

Forza is on, but it is only FMV. No in game footage.

37 minutes and the only game footage is FMV.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! How can football get any less physical? It is a physical sport. I love when sports personalities with low IQ's try to make a speech.

Fifa, Madden, UFC, NBA from EA. Wow, that was a surprise, not.

It's been 27 minutes, they keep mentioning games but we haven't seen any games.

@Daggo Hahaha, yup, that's the big question. So far they have described a PC, not a games console.

It has Blu Ray? How did they make that deal with Sony?

They haven't mentioned a range for the motion capture I noticed. I don't want to sit in front of my family and keep shouting X Box to change stuff when I can push a button to do it.

I like the interface, they are showing some good stuff. No games yet though.

The video crashed on ign, sounds like Microsoft.

Just want to say, major props to Nintendo Life for having this article up. The PS4 sister site, push square, has nothing.

@HawkeyeWii half an hour I believe.

I'm staying up late to watch it. I did the same for Sony. I have no immediate plans to buy a new console but it might be worth it. PS4 didn't interest me, Microsoft might have something.

Nintendo Kart (Super Racing Bros etc) has to happen. They are stringing the bottom of the barrel for new characters in the new games. Wiggler and Honey Queen were selectable characters in Mario Kart 7. Just put Link, Samus, Yoshi, Sonic and the gang in one big race off game.

Also, this game has tutorials if you look hard enough. Three little monsters show you how to wall jump and a bird shows you how to space jump. It just doesn't have a big flashing "Tutorial" banner when they are on the screen.

Finding help to discover the secret weapon functions such as the charge beam/morph ball bomb drop, that is something people can share and is easy to miss. Figuring out that pushing B makes Samus run or pushing select to change to missiles shouldn't need a Miiverse post.

@Tsukun There is a big difference between stuck and stupid. Someone asking me to guide them to the morph ball is just stupid. If you can't find that, you have no chance with this game. So many people are stuck at the part where the ground falls away when you step on it and don't know that you can hold down the B button to run. Instead of trying to figure that out they turn to Miiverse and cry. I had someone asking me what to do at the first red door. They had the five missiles but instead of experimenting, turned to Miiverse.

Metroid is a game series that can only be completed through exploration. Asking for help every two seconds is not how to play the game.

Oh, one more thing, the number of people calling Samus "Metroid" pissed me off so much I made this: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/990/samusz.png

I also pointed out that Samus being a woman is not a spoiler. You see her when she dies and we have known Samus is a woman from the very first game.

@TreesenHauser Hahaha, I can't wait to see Miiverse with all the crying and help seeking.

I had someone saying they couldn't find the Morph Ball. I told them you can find it within 5 minutes. He posted back wanting directions. I told him to quit the game. If he can't find the Morph Ball, the game would be too hard.

There is a big difference when it comes to inde developers and a company like Nintendo. For example, I only found out about Thomas Was Alone thanks to it going up on Playstation Plus. I had no idea the game existed before that. A Let's Play for that kind of game would be helpful. On the other hand, a popular Let's Play is Pokemon. Hands up who has heard of Pokemon? Pretty much everyone. We all know that a new Pokemon game is getting released in October too. Nintendo will advertise the game through ads on TV and in magazines and other things.

@DeviousSnorlax Your welcome, glad I could help. I like your let's plays.

Aww, I was hoping for game demo's to be available on eShop for the E3 week. Nothing was said on the European show so we get nothing.

Umm, that was short. Like the sound of an exclusive Sonic game.

Stopping downloads, and settling in for a good show. I doubt we will see anything new but release dates for Wonderful 101, Wind Waker and (fingers crossed) Bayonetta 2 would be great.

@PatcherStation I quite liked the N64 boxes . Does anyone remember the huge box Super Metroid came in? I think it had a strategy guide bundled with it or something.

@chiptoon Yes, they are big. However, they are the bottom of the screen and not obscuring the English text in any way. In game, only English is displayed when you get an item or text is on the screen. I don't get the big deal.

It's 30p, the game runs perfectly fine and the sound is spot on. Having to put up with German or French subtitles is bearable. The English is in there too. I do hope Nintendo update it in the future but for 30p you can't go wrong with this amazing game.

If I want to play EA games I can just use my PS3, however, I don't want to play EA games. Most of them are just the previous game with extra bits. I don't have ANY EA games at all and I don't plan on adding any in the future. No EA on Wii U, I say thanks for not clogging up the release list.
