Re: Reaction: Nintendo Shakes Up E3 With No NX and a Focus on Legend of Zelda

Kris_Gunn

The fact that so many people are so upset about the NX not coming out when they thought it was going to is just plain dumb. Like I'm sorry, I know a lot of the people are extremely negative and pessimistic, but come on. It's coming out a few months later then you thought and now you're saying this is going to be the worst year for Nintendo? Announcing the NX at E3 would kill the system. PSVR is going to be what the press focuses on at this year's E3. If the NX was announced, it would get pushed to the side and ignored by the press. That would kill the system before it even started for the mainstream gaming market. It's actually an incredibly sound tactic to wait. And Zelda U being the ONLY playable demo sounds fishy, like I'm sorry. It's either:

1.) That it is the only playable game and Nintendo has THAT much faith in it (which wouldn't be too surprising with how succesful Zelda games are)

OR

2.) Nintendo's lying. They're saying that so when there are several surprise games playable on the E3 show floor, the press and fans will go crazy for it all.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Excite A Mainstream Audience in 2016

@smashbrolink You're 100% right. With all 3 of those things Nintendo could take the gaming market by storm once again. Especially if they market it right and have all of that 3rd part exclusivity. I think something that would really bring the people in would be that since Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming to both PS4 and XBone, that maybe the NX could get an exclusive "Final Mix" edition of the game. For those who don't know, the final mix versions of Kongdom Hearts games have updated graphics and have added bosses, bits of story, and new enemies and cutscenes. That would really bring in TONS of people to the NX. Especially since Kingdom Hearts has appeared on Nintendo consoles before so it's fan base would be more comfortable getting a Nintendo console I'd think.

I think if the mainstream audience just stopped being so thick headed about games having to be "dark" and "gritty" and gave Nintendo games a chance, they'd see what they're missing. Nintendo games are (in my opinion) the greatest games out there. I know if there's some kind of way for Nintendo to break through that barrier, they will Nintendo's never let me down, I know they won't now.

Re: 10 Years On, Hideki Kamiya Still Doesn't Think He Could Better Okami

Kris_Gunn

Okami is quite the amazing game. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was playing it for the first time, or even the multiple other times I've played it. As much as I'd love another game in the series, I can see where the developer is coming from. Some masterpieces should be left be, as to not soil the original. Even with how much I'd go crazy for another game in the series lol

Re: Poll: NX and Mobile Make This a Defining Year for Nintendo - Are You Optimistic?

Kris_Gunn

I'm quite optimistic for Nintendo's future and for E3. I mean maybe that's just me being optimistic as usual but I'm very excited. Nintendo has never let me down in all my years of gaming. Whether they announce NX or not, I think they have quite a lot of games under their belt to announce. I don't even personally think E3 2015 was bad for Nintendo. I think their only mistake was that they dropped their two big bombshell announcements right before their E3 presentation. (Roy+Ryu in Sm4sh, and Earthbound Beginnings). So this lead people to think that the E3 presentation was a bit bare. At least that's what I think. Whatever the NX is and whatever comes in the next month or so, I know for a fact, it won't disappoint.
