"In terms of Nintendo not debuting NX at a highly-visible event as E3, it's worth noting Nintendo has been cultivating its own means of connecting with fans. So it has scope for communicating the NX in the lead-up to launch, outside of major traditional industry showings."
Is he talking about Directs? Yes, they connect with Nintendo fans, but they don't connect with mainstream gamers which is what E3 could've helped with.
@NintyFan E3 are the best times I've had on Nintendo Life hands down. If Zelda is really all they're showing, as good as it looks, that really sucks! I was looking forward to Nintendo's E3 all year
First it was 2015, then 2016 and NOW 2017! The way they've handled the release of the game has been all kinds of crappy. The hype is gone. I'm not gonna say I bought a Wii U for the game, but it was one of the MAIN reasons! So consider me mad and disappointed!
Will the NX version be superior beyond a technical level? Or is it just a simple port? Why should I buy a lesser version if there's a better one out there? It's not an exclusive anymore...
And now the Wii U doesn't have any holiday games at all! For shame Nintendo.
I don't understand why they're creating an emulator for a console you can still buy in stores. This will just create even LESS demand for Wii U. NES? Sure, you're not gonna find that new, but Wii U? facepalm
@MarinoKadame They really should consider pulling the normal 3DS release. Most people are going to get it on there, and that probably won't go over well.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Its E3 Plans for The Legend of Zelda
@TheY Colour Splash? I don't remember this game... Did you mean Sticker Star 2?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Its E3 Plans for The Legend of Zelda
@djtwenty9 I doubt it would get many people to buy Wii U's since it's also coming to NX.
Re: European Pricing For Fire Emblem Fates DLC Is Revealed
They should include this for free as an apology for the delay!

Re: Nintendo Confirms Its E3 Plans for The Legend of Zelda
If they don't even have a E3 Digital Event this year, that will be a huge bummer. But it wouldn't surprise me...
How early do they usually announce the Digital Events?

Re: Launching NX Next Year Is The "Proper" Thing To Do, Says Nintendo Boss Tatsumi Kimishima
So the whole thing about "not abandoning the Wii U" was just a lie. Yeah, nice way to start your leadership, Kimishima!
Re: Nintendo 3DS Games Sure Look Pretty In High Definition
Oh neat! I hope Nintendo doesn't take this down.
Re: Unannounced First And Third-Party 3DS Games In Development, States Nintendo
But not Wii U then? Okay, that's what I thought.

@Steel76 Well for the holidays they have Sticker Star 2, and uhh... Yeah
Re: Nintendo NX Will Be Launched Globally in March 2017
A new console generation isn't gonna fix what's inherently wrong with Nintendo.

@FragRed We just say "Nintendoomed", it's cleaner.

Re: Nintendo NX Will Be Launched Globally in March 2017
Not getting another Nintendo console at launch, not after the way the Wii U went down.
Re: Western Localisation Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Features Costume And Age Changes
A new console generation isn't gonna fix Nintendo's nanny state attitude.
Re: Western Localisation Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Features Costume And Age Changes
You are really starting to tick me off Nintendo! ENOUGH WITH THE GODDAMN CENSORSHIP!
Re: Video: Watch Star Fox Zero's Secret Vehicle in Action
Umm, cool I guess. I think unlocking Wolf's vehicle would be way more awesome!

Re: Nintendo Announces 'Fortissimo' Special Edition of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
The EU box art kinda sucks in comparison. The US is so colorful, while the EU is way too black!
Still getting it though.

Oh hell yeah, Mario Party 2!!! Finally something for me this week!!!
Re: Rumour: The Pokémon Company Plans to Make a Big-Budget Live-Action Pokémon Movie
When I was an 8 year old kid in 2000 i would've loved this! But now? I'm not so sure.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2016 - Spring Edition
Another drought for Wii U. There's Star Fox and... That's about it for the ENTIRETY of Spring.
What I look forward to the most is Zelda of course, and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE! But that's not for another couple months.
Re: Splatoon's New Update Just Went Live
@Vegaphil And a better split screen mode.

Re: Rumour: Voice Acting Audition Hints At Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Sequel
I hope the DLC will come to the west! (If it's fan service DLC it probably won't)
Re: Video: Catch Up With the Hyrule Warriors Legends Developer Panel from Wondercon
@Zach777 Did anyone ask about bringing it to Wii U in the panel? I don't wanna watch the whole thing
Re: Mighty No. 9's Release Date Remains A Mighty Mystery

Re: Nintendo Download: 7th April (Europe)
I'd get Wario Land if it was on sale.
Re: Hardware Review: Hyperkin ProCube Controller for Wii U
@Ryu_Niiyama Yeah it would be good idea to try it out first
Re: Hardware Review: Hyperkin ProCube Controller for Wii U
@JaxonH Well that blows.
Re: Hardware Review: Hyperkin ProCube Controller for Wii U
@Ryu_Niiyama Basically it's a decent substitute for the Gamecube controller, but it's not as well made as the original. I'm probably getting one!
Re: Pokémon Snap Comes Into Focus for Wii U Virtual Console Release in Japan
Please NOE, I need this!

You can get it new for like a 3 quid on disc!
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
Cool it with the rumours guys, at least until you get CREDIBLE sources.
Re: Version 1.4.0 of Wii U Emulator, Cemu, Shows More Rapid Progress

Re: Nintendo Download: 24th March (Europe)
I had no idea until now that Star Fox 64 was called Lylat Wars in Europe.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th March (Europe)
Nothing for me this week.
Re: Nintendo Announces Separate Hyrule Warriors Season Passes for Wii U and 3DS
@MarinoKadame They really should consider pulling the normal 3DS release. Most people are going to get it on there, and that probably won't go over well.
