[url=#user_comment_347284]@Serathis[/url] Exclusivity is a given with first parties, why would you feed other consoles. Moreover, while it's true that artificial exclusivity is lame, first party WiiU game often make strong use of the WiiU's unique control scheme, which means they wouldn't be portable anyways. Same as the DS.

Can you really win E3 without actually having a conference? It's like winning the superbowl from the stands.

@Same Measa: Yeah! I mean, the WiiU is obviously inferior to the Xbone, which can get 1080p and 60fps, right?

...Right?

@Sam Measa: or they could just make fun games.

TF2 doesn't need a graphical update, does it?

But I'm just sitting here, watched the Zelda trailer again and I don't see how it could look better on a more powerful machine.

Nintendo announced a new bunch of games for the SNES?!?!?!
Face it the Wii U is still old hardware when you put it next to a PC, PS4 or Xbox. They need to look at drastically updating their hardware rather then innovating a new controller with each new console.

[url=#user_comment_347266]@cattz[/url], i recommend you to read this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles and you will see that Wii U already beat it x-box one in total sales, and its close by from playstation 4, so no, its not 5% of the other consoles

So you're basically saying "Nintendo announced a lot of great stuff but their system is struggling so I won't buy it." IT'S STRUGGLING BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE DON'T BOTHER TO SUPPORT THEM, AND YOU'RE NOT SUPPORTING THEM BECAUSE IT'S STRUGGLING. DO YOU NOT SEE THE PROBLEM HERE???
over 10 years ago
I probably shouldn't join this flamewar fray, but there is some terribly mistaken information in the comments. As far as global console sales go, Wii is second only to PS4. It's struggling compared to Nintendo's estimates of where it would've gone - but it is by no means actually struggling.

Sony earned really big points with Bloodborne (previously known as Beast Souls). Nintendo's gotta work hard to trump that announcement.

[url=#user_comment_347263]@Steelteeth13[/url] 600% of 5% of the other consoles sales isn't worth mentioning, and should make you realize just how god damn bad the Wii-u was..

"struggling"? Really you do know Wii U sales have increased by 600%. Which is a massive spike. To say are struggling is rather idiotic if you ask me. With the increase of sales people are more likely to buy the games that are coming out and play on the platform.
over 10 years ago
Eh the Wii U's sales seem too be going up since Mario kart 8 came out so imagine when these other games will come out also you didn't mention the new starfox for Wii U

@Nerf NOW!!: Yeah, quite tempted by the WiiU+mariocart bundle,myself.
But then I remember that the Steam-Summer-Sale shouldn't be more then 2 month away where I can get ~20 games for that amount of money.

Um. Jane in cement shoes was funny, but the iron maiden just makes me shudder and feel uncomfortable. [url=#user_comment_347212][url=#user_comment_347212] @Mushroom[/url][/url]: I don't remember that part. I remember the description of Roland Weary's knife with the "blood gutter", but no mention of iron maidens.

[url=#user_comment_347239]@Serathis[/url] Platform exclusivity is not inherently bad, to think that is ridiculous. Exclusives are important when it comes to the sales of the console.
over 10 years ago
That's the whole point though. You have no game you want to play on Xbox or PS4. They can't give you a reason to go out and buy one of their consoles. Hey Nintendo what game can I play ONLY on your products? *Nintendo E3 gameplay and announcements* Now Im at the Store buying a Wii U.
over 10 years ago
...so? Do it. Go buy one.

This E3 is enough to make me get a 3DS or Wii.
I dont have consoles for PS or XBox either, and none of their games interest me enough to get one, so Nintendo is winning me.

"Is your hype train powered by bullshit?" I'm so using that, and that is why Jane's my fave, even though she constantly gets tortured by Jo, lol. Hey, you should totally do a Captain Flynt and Claptrap joke about this.

So far there's only two thing on Wii U for me, Sonic Boom and Star Fox.

... to let them know what are they missing out on.
over 10 years ago
@Nerf NOW!!: That is too. Too many games, but most of the E3 stuff have been for consoles. Platform exclusivity is inherently bad. I would love to have some handheld or console games on PC. I would love to have some PC only stuff (Cry of Fear, Underhell, etc) given to the peasants, if only...

Right now Sony is Apollo Creed from Rocky 2. "I'm the champ! I'm the best! Why is everyone talking about Nintendo?"

Splatoon was the biggest surprise for me. Squid paintball (aka Reverse Mario Sunshine aka De Blob Deathmatch Arena) looks like a lot of fun.

I doubt I'll get a Wii U anytime soon, but I sure do love my 3DS! Pokemon X, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. It's enough to get my Nintendo needs fulfilled and more... Though Brawl is rather tempting.

Well, if you wanted one you still have time to save up for a Wii U - none of these titles are coming out any time soon.

I do wonder how Nintendo's titles compare to stuff like Battlefield on the Japanese domestic market. It's been a while since I spoke to my video game playing friends there, but usually they're several years behind on the non-domestic stuff.

As a PC gaming supremacist, this does not help my burning hatred towards consoles. E3 2014: everything is 2015. And on consoles. And CGI trailers. Just give me the Duke Nukem 3D remake already.
