Description

“At E3 this year, we are not planning to launch new hardware, and our main activity at E3 will be to announce and have people experience our software. Many people are certainly very interested in learning more about the Wii U titles that we are going to announce.* We will use E3 as an ideal opportunity to talk in detail mainly about the Wii U titles that we are going to launch this year*, and we also plan to make it possible for visitors to try the games immediately. As a brand new challenge, we are working to establish a new presentation style for E3.
 
First, we decided not to host a large-scale presentation targeted at everyone in the international audience where we announce new information as we did in the past.  
Instead, at the E3 show this year, we are planning to host a few smaller events that are specifically focused on our software lineup for the U.S. market. There will be one closed event for American distributors, and we will hold another closed hands-on experience event, for mainly the Western gaming media. Also, I did not speak at last years presentation, and I am not planning to speak at these events at the E3 show this year either. Apart from these exclusive events for visitors, we are continuing to investigate ways to deliver information about our games directly to our home audience around the time of E3. We will share more information about them once they have officially been decided.”

The 3DS and WiiU were like, just released 1/2 years ago (also wow I feel old now). Expecting them to announce new hardware IMMEDIATELY is kinda foolish. It’ll come when it comes.
 
I’m just glad we’re getting Smash 4 news then, honestly!

Yawn…
 
Is there anything in the pipeline for the Wii U that looks interesting/intriguing…that isn’t the usual Nintendo rigmarole first-party stuff?

so far all the nintendo directs (the 3ds ones at least) have been “GAMES! MORE GAMES!”.

Well, no press conference with trailers we have seen before and a no pre-fabricated statements and speeches and instead the announcement of new games that you can actually play? And all this at a games convention?
 
Somehow, I’m okay with this…

They’re being smart. They realize that there’s a pattern with their E3 appearences. They often get a good appearence and then a bad appearence the next year.
 
Or, better yet, they realize E3 is now a shitty video game conference and are moving to a much better one.

I am saddened only because Nintendo always had the most amusing major presentations. Both Sony and MS liked sticking to numbers or hyping the next Halo/BF game - Nintendo meanwhile gave us weird shit like… Reggie the zombie, Miyamoto playing tennis against random audience members, or Iwata staring at bananas.
 
And they have some of this ‘gaming’ stuff in there too I suppose.

Indeed, and that arrogant “deal with it” response was a crappy way for them to respond to the whole deal. If that does end up being the case then my original plan of sticking with PC and Wii U this generation will continue. The PS4 doesn’t have any exclusives that interest me yet and my PC is more powerful (more RAM and a better graphics card and processor), while the Wii U will soon have plenty of exclusives for me to get my hands on.

Shush, I already admitted I was wrong. I double-checked my sources and realized that as a result of sleep-deprivation I misread everything and looked like an idiot. Typical Trixie, always looking like a putz.

What are you talking about? The Wii alone sold 99.84 million consoles worldwide, much more then the PS3, or X-Box 360 did actually.
 
Also, I don’t get why you’re complaining the Wii, 3DS, and WiiU have alot of non-gaming functions to, you don’t seem to realize. (Hell you can even get Netflix, or Hulu on all of ’em, just like the other consoles.) So your point about “Nintendo only makes games, and nothing else” is a moot point when they make stuff like “Wii Fitness” games.

You’re right, you’re right, I fudged my numbers and realized it too late, and as a result most of what I just typed is bullshit. I’ll go sit in the dummy corner now.
 
…It really would help if Nintendo opened its mind a little more, though.

and show me where they planned to make double the 3ds sales they have now, if you meant the early sales, those days are long gone, it’s selling very well and will continue to sell better
