Re: First Impressions: Celebrating a Gaming Icon With Super Mario Maker

@shigulicious
I was wondering the same thing.
"Super Mario Maker" always looked like a US$39.99 game, like "Toad Treasure Tracker", but the way Nintendo has been promoting the game (taking up a big chunk of the E3 Digital Event) it seems they are pushing it as a must have triple AAA title (which it is not).
Like you said, its basically an app. A well polished app, but an app nonetheless...

I hate how Reggie and the Nintendo PR people are trying to treat us like children and insinuate that our expectations were too high and that everything is ok.
I am a PAYING customer in a FREE MARKET SOCIETY and if Nintendo expects me to continue handing them my money, they better deliver the goods!

I am still disappointed and that will not change for sometime.

  • No new AAA titles (StarFox looks meh)
  • No new VC titles (no new N64/GC/Wii games)
  • No Mario Kart DLC (where is the battle arena update???)
  • Waaaaaaaay too much focus on amiibo
    Not only that, but this PR blitz the suits at Nintendo are going through to make it seem like everything is ok is just not cool...not cool at all...
    I still love Nintendo, but I feel cheated.

Re: First Impressions: Our Maiden Flight In Star Fox Zero Prompts Mixed Emotions

Thank you for the honest first-impression review!
I am a huge StarFox fan from the N64 days and I have to say I am very disappointed from what I saw yesterday. With the release date so close, I was expecting this game to look exceptional at this point.
Also With Miyamoto-san involved (sort of his pet project in a way), I had very high expectations for the game. Maybe not a complete revolution in the StarFox formula, but definitely something worthwhile. Unfortunately that is not what I'm seeing so far...
I would rather they delay the game another six months (June 2016) and deliver something promising than to deliver a half-baked eshop type title.
The StarFox series deserves better!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event?

MikeW

Very disappointed.

  • Star Fox looked meh
  • Way too much focus on amiibo.... Nintendo has become a toy company!!!
  • Basically the Wii U will be dead after 2015
  • Lame "Metroid" and "Animal Crossing" games
    No "New" games
  • Waaaaay too much attention given to Mario Maker...

Awful presentation in every way.
