Nintendo Digital Event (and E3 2014)

Those two posts form a real wall of text, Mas.  MS are winning it for me, but both they and Sony looked good.

I was going to add the Capcom news into my first posts or one of the eShop threads but wasn't 100% on it. Sorry it's a wall of text but that's my views on E3.

I think you would prefer some of the Sony things balla that was shown especially No Mans Sky

Also I thought Let it Die from SUDA 51 was a VITA game, sure that was said but all news sites are saying it's a PS4 tilte

NMS looks beautiful, but I'm deeply sceptical about procedurally generated worlds.  The planet they showed off may look lovely, but it's nothing compared to what a proper games designer could have made, I'm pretty sure.  I'd still buy it if I had the console, though.

And I'd have thought that your two massive lists (especially the "what I thought would be announced" one) could have gone in spoilers, just to stop the post from being utterly overwhelming.

Things that have stood out for me so far that I feel I'd enjoy:
NMS
That Ghibli-like platformer on One
Valiant Hearts
Maybe Scalebound - I'd need to see more of that
And probably some indies here and there.

Done thought you liked Lists.

Some good shouts Balla, one of the reasons I want to lean more to Sony is because of the indies but the ones MS shown did look good.

I wouldn't be put off of Far Cry based on the first 2, the second one is so bad at times it's very hard to like. AI that can suddenly snipe you from miles away with AKs are not part of a good game. 3 would be a fairer comparison and even this looks much improved.

Yeah in my Versus type thing I went for FC4 over AC:U as it does look like I would have more fun with FC4 plus with the online share thing I can at least try FC4 before buying it.

Just had a look at Abzû, which looked really interesting from a stylistic perspective but didn't seem to have much "game" per se. Reminds me of Endless Ocean in that.

And also, it was designed by the bods behind Journey. One for you, Andynam?  

What could possibly better than a Journey style endless ocean... I'm sure everywhere will give it 11/10

I'm sure Drunka will.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it.

Here's a link to CVG which has so far all 142 videos from E3.

In terms of conference, there's no doubt that Microsoft absolutely spanked Sony. In terms of games it is a lot closer but I'm leaning towards Microsoft. Sunset and Scale looked like pure fun, whereas you couldn't see a lot from the blood trailer. The only other games that interested me in the Sony one are also coming to Xbox.

Plus, I genuinely like the idea of playing through that halo collection.

Lot's spoilers on the net, I've not seen but in the Skype chat and most have seen them.

Also I just posted in the Xbox One & PS4 threads a updated list of exclusive games for them which might help you decide on which system to get.

I've just seen on twitter that there are leaks but not what they are yet, so no Internet now until post conference. Are people chatting spoilers in the Skype?

They not said what they are apart from cool etc, Nintendo Life has all the leaks

I don't want leaks I don't want leaks I don't want leaks AAAAAAAAAA

Is it safe to go onto Skype?  I'm nervous... 

Oh well, on there now anyway.

Yes it's fine also IGN will have a Wii U exclusive post show.

Well, I wasn't planning on it but I've got a computer on hand and some time to kill, where can I watch this nintendo presentation?

Lot's of places like CVG, IGN, Twitch, Nintendo's site etc

Nintendo starts with a cool comedy bit,

SMASH Mii's with three styles brawler, swordsman or gunners.

SMASH 3DS Version, October is when it's coming

Ammibo for the Toys also works with Disney & Skylanders. MK8 will use them along as SMASH. Still don't know what they really do.

Yoshi's Woolly World, takes up about two life times

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Holiday 2014

Zelda, Open World Looks Amazing

Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire

Bayonetta 2, with free Bayonetta one with Nintendo stuff. Thinking it's coming October

Hyrule Warriors, play as Zelda and Midna also more maybe out Sep 26

Kirby 2015

X Called Xenoblade Chronicles X it seems

Mario Maker

Splatoon, A Shooter

Palutena in SMASH, Dark Pit in the anime video for this

Miyamoto with a tease at the end.

I think we're all agreed that it was too short and a shoddy way to do the presentation - but the games that they showed off looked great. So, classic Nintendo.

That was arse. Wii U needs an injection of new games yesterday. It's as if time has stood still. Even if the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles X and Yoshi's Wooly World came out on January 1st, 2015 might be too late for most folk to give a toss.

Another victory for Nintendo at e3! Take that sony and microsoft and your lame first party offerings, you will never touch the meisters that are nintendo!

*Ahem*

What I meant to say after changing my pants from that xenoblade sequel trailer was that I was moderately impressed with the presentation and it showed some good promise. A little too much time spent talking at times, but it had a few nice gems such as Palutena and mii fighter and xenoblade X. Splatoon and bayonetta looked reasonably nice as well, bundling the first game with bayonetta 2 is a good move as well. Zelda looked fun, giant lasers of death are always a sign of good things to come.

Overall a mildly impressive showing, with nintendo showing that as per usual they are the ones bringing the good to e3.

Some more stuff coming out as well now like devil's third, mario party 10, fantasy life.

Nintendo won E3 easily.

I think there were too many games we had seen before. Zelda was my highlight, but no idea when we'll be seeing that. A good showing, but way too short from Ninty.

I don't get so short good do as long as they want.
