What an utter joke. They called a mini-conference for some "Big news!". Made people wait 45 minutes, with many people (including the editor of ONM and the presenters of GT) think they were about to announce a new game. They announced Wii Fit female trainer as a SSB character.
It annoyed pretty much everyone, especially the presenters of GT who said that Nintendo were "the little leagues" playing against "the professionals" (Microsoft/Sony). I just don't understand Nintendo... I really don't :-S
The games announced were a positive step but nothing really screamed out to me apart from Mario Kart.
There seems to be no buzz of excitement in the product (in my opinion) even from Nintendo - very safe games showcased and Nintendos failure to in understanding what their loyal fans want ie:
- A new proper 3D Mario adventure
- A new Metroid game
- Some kind of F Zero announced
- a new IP - something new, anything.
- Starfox
These games need to be in development and released asap if the WiiU even hopes to live beyond it's third birthday.
The situation is critical - and I think Nintendo will be left all alone as third party titles will eventually dry up.
I'm glad they didn't announce it to be honest. I'd rather that they don't rush it, and push it back, then them release a below par game. I have faith in Eiji Aonuma.
I think we'll get a trailer for it at next years E3 and a release at the end of 2015.
