There is nothing like two of the main heads going into an all out battle to demonstrate the new features of the upcoming Smash Bros title, but I am going to far ahead of myself right now, so please enjoy this shared thoughts on the Nintendo E3 Digital Show. Keep in mind I want to point out those games that really caught eye, but more will be talked about in tomorrows Video Cast.
The Verge Writes: "Nintendo is giving its OLED Switch a Smash Bros.-themed paint job. The latest version of the console comes as part of a new bundle with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and includes gray Joy-Cons that feature the game’s logo."
Yeah, I like the black and gray best. I just don't care for most of the colored ones. They're a bit too flashy for me. Some of the themed ones are pretty cool though.
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
With Chronicles finished, it's time to return to the mechs and mysteries of Mira
I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.
It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .
Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.
I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.
I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.
Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.
In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.
Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.
I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing
"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"
I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.
No body else does it like Nintendo. They are truly the Nintendo Entertainment Company and make an Entertainment System. But at the end of the day they entertained everyone better than anyone else at E3 this year.
Nintendo won E3 for sure this year!!
I think Nintendo really made the right choice by doing a tournament and those The Treehouse developer interviews.
The Treehouse alone allows Nintendo fans to enjoy E3 for all 3 days with new stuff, instead of just one piddly little press conference.
Also, DID YOU SEE THE REACTIONS AT THE TOURNAMENT?!

THAT IS WHAT E3 USED TO BE LIKE!
And now that the Press Conferences are only press, tournaments like this become all the more important for bringing the crowd reactions that the people want!
Nintendo made the right move this E3.
Last year, they didn't do the "no conference" thing right, but this year?
THEY NOT ONLY MADE UP FOR IT, THEY >NAILED IT!<
Nintendo showed those other boys how it's done.
You show games that can only be played on your system and your system alone.
You announce games, then you back it up by actually showing GAME PLAY! Not trailers, not CG scenes, actual gameplay.
You keep it moving, you don't bring out exec, after exec after exec with the same corny dialog and scripted multiplayer game play.
You show titles that put the fun back in video games without the first question being asked or given is if the game is in 1080p or 60 fps. Doesn't matter when each game shown looks ridiculously fun.
Nintendo proved that the underdog does win.
I think all doom and gloom will start to go away as mainstream media and consumers are being blown away by punches Nintendo did and gave a royal smackdown to consumers and will continue as they release more and more information about games and other stuff. There is a solid lineup by end of this year plus it seems Nintendo secured first half of 2015 easily with a lot of titles... Guess what, no drought and all exclusives that will sell consoles one way or another.
