Isn't Kenji Inafune working on Recore also? Makes you think that Mighty No 9 was not his top priority. I would be upset if I backed this kickstarter.

Just a play on words/marketing talk. The game does look good though imo.

It might as well just be a Zelda U reveal as far as I am concerned. I couldn't care less about the other games that are mentioned.

I am happy for those who have additional games to look forward to and that Nintendo is catering to a bit of a broader audience, but for me personally there is zero hype (even Zelda) regarding this year's E3.

Yeah sure, I'll watch it. At the moment I'm more excited to see what Sony & Microsoft has to offer and I don't even own one of their consoles yet. Will probably pick up a PS4 in the near future.

Personally, I have been disappointed by Nintendo too many times and for too long. I really hope that changes in the near future.

I will keep an eye on this blockbuster.......

Nice little trip down memory lane.

Especially enjoyed the wannabe A-Team van in the parking lot at the beginning (around 00:35).

Been meaning to pick this up for a while.

Did someone say stability?...........

Disappointed, but not surprised.

@crimsontadpoles Am I imagining things?....didn't Reggie say last year that Nintendo's E3 focus is always ONLY on games releasing within the same year. I guess they forgot when it came to Zelda. There are other examples (Mario Maker, Wooly World?) but I can't be bothered to look it up.

I know it's Nintendo Japan calling the shots, but still. Feels a bit like they're treating us like idiots.

After last year's terrible E3 I was convinced it couldn't get any worse.....Not so sure anymore. Still feeling the sting of last year's e3.

Hopefully there will be plenty of upcoming games announced.

Define "strong" titles.

If Zelda U will be available on both the WiiU and NX, I can easily believe that the home console will only launch in 2017 in order to shift as many copies of the game on the WiiU as possible.

With the NX home console launching in 2017, it will also give the illusion that the WiiU has been out for 5 years and WiiU owners are less likely to feel burned.

Anyways, It will be interesting to see what the Big N is up to.

I would like to see:

Shovel Knight
KK Slider (or Tom Nook)
Splatoon Inklings

Is there a release date for the Wii U yet? Will be picking this up.

I'll give this a try when released. Not overly excited, but not totally underwhelmed either.

Will pick this up. Enjoyed Dig quite a bit. Replaying it the moment.

I understand that this is only a filler game for this Christmas season but definitely not worth the full retail price. I don't think we'll see future dlc since Nintendo knows that people have complained about the lack of content and haven't announced anything yet. Will be sticking to the N64 version of Mario Tennis I think. Wouldn't mind a new Mario Golf game though.

I was hoping that this game would be good and I don't have to play it so see that it's only a shameless cash grab, sorely lacking in features.
Would've gladly taken a remake of say Super Mario 64, for example, over something like this.
Not too much to ask since Zelda is on its 4th remake already in less than 5 years.

Haha, thanks for the laugh guys. The sad part is that I relate to most things in that video.
I'm happy for those who are getting what they want though.

Whatever. Rather get the overdue Mighty No.9 released before corncerning yourself with future amiibo compatibility. Just saying....

If Nintendo announces anything during this Direct that's worthwhile, then I'll get excited. Still feeling the sting from E3's cringe worthy display.

I am rather curious about the announcement but it's broadcasting at 3am where I live. Not that curious though. Will catch it later.

This can only end well.........

Game should compensate all those inconvenienced by this. End of story. Any decent company will do this. Giving a decent discount is the least they can do.

@Raien yip, my thoughts exactly

Enjoyed this article but oh spring mushroom, how I loath thee.

@SquirrelNuts Disagreement does not equal hate. I love my family. Do I always agree with them? No, but I surely don't hate them or any other person for that matter. The freedom to state your opinion goes both ways. Just saying

Go Dad!

What a sad day My prayers go out for all his family and friends. May they be comforted in this time of loss. 55 is very young.
It's just a reminder once again how short this life can be. None of us know the hour...

@Aromaiden In my opinion it's because Nintendo is releasing spin-off titles when the fans were expecting full AAA versions of these games without announcing that the AAA versions are on the way.

As someone already mentioned here, make the main games first before flooding us with spin-offs. That's why e3 blew up in their face. Free download or not.

Also, as a Nintendo fan I think they have completely lost touch with what the fans want. Especially in the western world. I'm not very happy to be a Wii U owner right now. I really hope they don't call the NX the "NEW Wii U. I'm saying this jokingly, but I will seriously not put it past them.

All I have to say is this: "bock,bock,bock,,begowwwwk!"

@Godlygamer HAHA

Am I tempted by this Amiibo range? Without a proper Animal Crossing game, NO!

@JesWood13 - As long as we keep buying, they'll keep selling.

I'm yet to give OOT a go. Was a playstation 1 gamer during the N64 era so I never played it back in the day. Busy finishing off Wind Waker HD atm and then I'll be all over OOT.

All Nintendo had to do was announce that a new full Metroid game is coming before announcing Metroid FF and all this negativity could have been avoided. Especially since it's been 5 years since Metroid Other M. The same can be said for the Animal Crossing Festival game.

The only game on this list which interests me is Star Fox Zero and that's a maybe at best.

I'm still enjoying MK8 and Splatoon at the moment and I am finishing off Zelda Wind Waker HD, but after that I'm in trouble. Picking up a PS4 to fill the gap because I see a lean 12 to 18 months ahead for the Wii U.

So people thought that Iwata apologized. Why not leave the people to think that. It can only help as far as Nintendo's reputation is concerned. Sometimes people need to know when to stop talking. This is one of those times.

Reading Reggie's response to the first question where he says, "the way we view E3...." and talking about not showing games long before release, etc makes me angry. What they don't realise, is that the way the customer views it and perceives it, is what is important.
I will have no problem with the spin-off Metroid and Animal Crossing games if I knew that AAA versions of those games were on the way. And there is the problem, Nintendo keeping quiet. They should have at the very least announced a Metroid and Animal Crossing Game, regardless of when it's coming out.
As much as I like NIntendo, they seem to be very detached from what their customers want.

Their approach to E3 actually doesn't make sense to me. The entire gaming world is focussed on E3 and that's the time to win new customers for your brand. The Directs, though great, is mainly for current Nintendo gamers and unless you follow Nintendo, you will not be aware of the Direct shows. So, E3 is the place to wow the world with all your great games. This E3 was a marketing fail for Nintendo.

With all their years in the games industry, they really could have ( and should have) done better. They know people want Metroid, they know people want Animal Crossing and yet they give us half baked versions of those games and expect consumers to be happy with that? At least one BIG surprise would've been nice. E3 is not over yet, but I'm not holding my breath for any surprises.

@rjejr those n64 graphics can be very distracting lol

That's ok. Just add it to the long list of disappointments.

@Dpullam Have you bought the game yet? How fast is your internet? My reason for asking is that I've been enjoying Splatoon online and that's on a 1mb line over wifi. I've had less than a handful of disconections since launch day. Far less issues than what I saw other forum members report.

Surely we should be able to use the wiimote+nunchuck in conjunction with the gamepad. Then use the gamepad for superjumps only during battles.
I'm fine with the gamepad for myself, but I don't see a problem for those who want other options.

This game is looking good. Love the old school feel.

@andyjlatham - during gameplay, there is a position indicator in the top right corner, so there will be multiple cars.

Up until now: Mario Kart 8. Looking forward to E3 to see if there are any new potential contenders for the top spot.

Animal Crossing Wii U. Will be VERY surprised if this doesn't get some attention at E3. As a grown man in his late 30's, should I be this exicited for a video game? Haha. Star Fox is the only other game I'm really looking forward to right now. Couldn't care less about another Mario game. The 3DS definitely needs some love also. Looking forward to a nice surprise or 2 at E3.

People seem generally pleased with the Direct which is a good thing. Personally, Mario Kart 8 announcement at the end saved it for me. Nothing else really grabbed me. Nice to see N64 games finally arriving.

I wonder if we will see Animal Crossing on the Wii U?

Not very happy about this at all. Oh well, should probably try and finish Windwaker HD while I wait. And of course there's MK8 to keep me busy. But that doesn't give you an excuse Nintendo to take your sweet time with this.

Updating now. Smash next please.
