Nintendo admits to using footage from other consoles for their conference, like how Brady noticed earlier.

Wow this forum is just full of Negative Nancys.

EDIT: I mean I don't want to seem like an ignorant fanboy or anything, but I just think you guys are being overly pessimistic.

Say that to Nintendo's shareholders.

I think that Nintendo's E3 presentation was pretty close to a disaster.

Then the Wii U.  Why did we need the "Wii" attached?  It makes the name awkward to say.  It doesn't flow right, they probably should've just called it the "U".  Second, using footage from other consoles... They shouldn't have revealed it this early.  They should've saved it for a later conference, when they had some actual software that weren't tech demos.

When I read that the next controller would be an iPad-like device, I was in disbelief.  I was hoping that they wouldn't go through with it.  But no, they did!  They tacked on a touch screen to what is a modern and rather common layout.  The good thing about the DS was that the touch screen was not as big as your hand, and could be navigated with ease without putting too much strain on your hand.

Rather than give us an example of how this layout as a whole would work in a game, they instead just gave us this TV\Controller interactive demos that literally paint the entire thing as being nothing more than a console version of the DS.

They also left us with a gigantic gap as far as the console itself and the games library are.  The GameCube was ignored because the games library dried up near the end thanks to Nintendo just shoving out everybody else who tried to compete.  The Wii is mocked because it's games library consists of 9\10ths downgraded ports with tacked on controls and party games.

Nintendo, I am not impressed.  Much like those shareholders.  I wouldn't dare play Smash Bros with this kind of controller.

I know Neon and others will probably "Why u so mad, bro?"  So I'll just say it:  I'm mad because this is a company that has never failed at creating a quality product.  What we've seen at E3 2011, from Nintendo was far from the quality that we expected.  Not only did they defy our desires as gamers, they thought we were stupid at that.  They even brought a terribly basic example of their system to us, and then glossed over, if not ignored the features we were waiting to hear about!

This isn't how you attract EITHER audience.

Okay, never failed at creating a quality product excluding the Virtual Boy.

No really they don't seem too happy about it.

[Jesuszilla]

I think I won't buy it just to prove a point.

Plus my roommate will probably buy one anyway.


This is hilarious.

EDIT: LOL THE WII U CONTROLLER IS HUGE


EDIT2: THANK FUCKING GOD

[Tyrannosaurus Reich]

if i was calling the shots, i'd rename the wiiu to this

[UHMEEEEBA]

Iwata now admits the Wii U announcement was handled very poorly.

[Fusion]

At least in hindsight he has the decency to admit the conference wasn't that great.

Hopefully this means later talk about it will be a lot more focused.
