No NX at E3 is probably the worst decision Nintendo has made since settling on naming a console Wii U. I have no idea how they plan to generate buzz or hype for NX like this. They need a new marketing department, preferably not a bunch of yes man, people willing to stand up and say "that is a dumb idea."
If NX is not backwards combative with Wii U discs then I'm fine with this. I just hope they price this right, we all know Nintendo doesn't like to lose money on hardware.
I could care less that Nintendo isn't putting these games on the OG 3DS, I just can't believe that they expect everyone to just buy all these games all over again. How difficult can it be to marry your purchases to your Nintendo Account or Nintendo Network ID? I refuse to pay for another game I've bought multiple times over until Nintendo can get this right. It's 2016 and Sony and Microsoft have been doing this since 2005/6. I love Nintendo but their absolute refusal to get the head out of the sand on this is infuriating and many fans have expressed the same opinion.
While I don't generally like EA, what they are asking just seems like good advice to me. Advertise fairly aggressively and Nintendo do should do well period.
New 3DS has 2 major problems; Firstly there are almost no exclusive, 2 games is just sad. Secondly the name is confusing, at least dsi was understandable but new 3DS is a terrible name. It's Wii U all over again.
@odin6786 mayflash is great, I have the Wii U to pc/ps3 adapter. The buttons were al scam led when I first bought it, but they fixed it with a patch last year.
I'm certain that NX will not release in 2016 but, I understand why everyone and their mothers are saying it will. Looks like a good year for 3DS but wii u, not sure as Nintendo is too quiet.
@CatMarioTime Nintendo fans are starved for games, releasing 3 VC games every week doesn't really seem like much to ask, especially when they are available in other territories.
Top remake/remaster wishlist
F-ZERO AX/GX
Star Wars Rogue Squadron
Super Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1 and 2
Viewtiful Joe
Earthbound
1080 Avalanche
Wave Race Blue Storm
Metroid 2, Super Metroid and
Metroid Fusion
Xenoblade HD
Luigi's Mansion
Phantasy Star Online
And my #1 request Armada for Dreamcast
I got Black 3 for ps3, don't make the same mistake. Who keeps proping this games sales up, consumers need to give Activision the same respect they give us consumers. (A great big middle finger)
I'm not surprised by low sales, as good as this game was/is, it really could have used dual analog. I hope they don't give up on the 3DS as they are quite talented
I'm at 41 hours and the only issues I've noticed are the aforementioned font size, the lack of audio balance options and the glaring one for me, the inability to fast travel without the use of the gamepad. My game pad is damaged and I only see half of the screen. I would like to get it repaired but that would make traveling completely impossible for me, at least until I got the gamepad returned to me.
I went to buy XcX from best buy the day after launch, they only had 9 copies shipped none of which they could find. I ended up buying it on eshop and waiting the 3 hours for it to download lol. I wonder if the lack of physical copies shipped has anything to do with it?

Dino Crisis 2 was so good I want it to be like that again. Oh and bring back the blue bomber, Megaman.
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Reiterates That Nintendo NX Is A New Way Of Playing Games
At this point they need to completely stop talking about it and focus on Wii U (unlikely) or just tell what the heck it is already.

Re: Video: Fans Mod Goku Into Super Smash Bros. For Wii U

Re: Editorial: From Metroid: Other M to Star Fox Zero, the Awkward Experimentation With Beloved Franchises
If Federation Force was in development for Wii U as a hardcover realistic space shooter (Halo-esque even )then everyone would love it.

Re: Mario Kart TV Website Confirmed for Closure on 5th April
Not surprised, bought it at launch and I've never even used this feature. That and more evidence that they are wining down Wii U for NX.

The number one thing Nintendo needs is to truly appeal to all types of gamers, especially hard core players who may have moved on.
Re: Jools Watsham Wants to Know if You Want a Dementium III
If Dementia 3 was dual analog controls I bet it would sell better. Maybe a new 3ds exclusive or a Wii u title...

Xenoblade for GOTY and best technology. That fact that they got this game to run as well as it does on Wii U is a marvel.
