Nintendo's Press Conference in a Nutshell: What you Missed

GPT: "Unlike the Microsoft and Sony conferences held yesterday, Nintendo began their demonstration in a rather awkward way. After an unnecessary prerecorded introduction an orchestra performed a beautiful musical montage from The Legend of Zelda. This was partnered with a snippet of gameplay being shown on the jumbo-tron. After a few minutes of this Miyamoto walks on stage talks about Zelda, for at least fifteen more minutes."

So..blown away.
At how mediocre that all was.

jphelps804714d ago

I agree. I think MS won E3 for the first time ever from a business standpoint. MS proved they're going after casual and hardcore. Sony showed off games like Captain America and Green Lantern, LOL.

Nintendo positioned themselves with a way to get hurt if MS and Sony announce new consoles next E3.

fatstarr4714d ago

or to counter they positioned themselves to sell millions of consoles 2012 q4 because as of yet microsoft and sony dont have a public release of their next gen systems.

and i dont ever remember any company announcing a main console system at e3 and releasing it the same year.

@ jphelps
They also showed off Dust, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, and a bunch of new PSV stuff. I thought Sony had a good E3. Unlike Microsoft, that kept showing casual games for Kinect.

I hope you are rating from worst to best.

NewMonday4714d ago

this must be the order of the worst presentations :p

50Terabytespersec4714d ago

Lame once again no game of the year or any awards related to modern gaming and advancements for Nintendo in the future!!! you think with all the money they made they would Build a console with RAID SSD and All Flash Memory and 20+ cores and such 4 GB of ram and just lay it all out there and bring us back to days of Super NES or N64!!! Superior CGI Tech!!
The gold ol days CGI workstation Tech and stuff damn , now they are just a bunch of soccer mom children toy panderers..

AWBrawler4714d ago

wait soccer moms like Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, BattleFront 3, and Darksiders?

hmmmmmm??? Did we see the same system?

What I saw was a lot more balance from Nintendo

50Terabytespersec4713d ago

Get real,the PSVita is more of a Console then this crap Nintendo has been spewing out lateley.

vgchica4714d ago

Very excited about Mario Kart in 3D. Luigi's mansion? Not so much.

VG_Releaser4714d ago

Why all the hate on Luigi? I bet it's a good game.

kennykramer4714d ago

Because Luigi is not Mario and Nintendogs love their Mario.

dgonza404714d ago

any of you guys play luigi's mansion?
it was cool, i was a kid when i played it so it helped me transition into horror games lol
luigi's mansion was creepy at times..

BattersUp4714d ago

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

LG_Fox_Brazil133d ago

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64132d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga132d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic131d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits132d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake132d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex132d ago (Edited 132d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

babadivad131d ago (Edited 131d ago )

It isn't...
