Topic: E3 2014 Megathread.

[Mirby]

I'd love to know whatever the hell 'Nintendo U' is then.

And Wii U HD games? Sunshine I could see since they'd need to change the controls for it to work anyway seeing as it used the analog triggers on the Gamecube. But Wave Race not so much.

Nintendo U is the apparent codename for Nintendolanders Infinity, AKA the game that will largely utilize the NFC figurines Nintendo announced in a similar vein to Skylanders and Disney Infinity.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I guess if you can't sell units, sell Action Figures to those who already have it.

What I'd be interested in knowing is how the demographic is split for the WiiU user base. Particularly how much of the user base is actually the established older Nintendo fans.

Too bad Nintendo doesn't show up in person at E3 anymore, otherwise they would do that for half an hour so you can get your data.

[OBJECTION MAN]

They still do it for private meetings with publishers. They go pretty far out with it, renting a hall and everything. It's like a mini-e3 press conference. I'm just not with a publisher now, so I can't attend them anymore. Oh well.

Well that sucks, got any other publisher friends who would be at that meeting?

[OBJECTION MAN]

They all got taken out by the great Guitar Hero layoff. Other than the fact that I wouldn't be able to say anything even if I went to one, or heard about what went on there.

[Protoman Blues]

So, when the hell are the conferences tonight?

[Phi]

I think the Microsoft conference started recently. I'm not home right now, so I can't really check.

[Protoman Blues]

Ah yes. It is. And it's on TV too!

[Phi]

Okay, I'm home now.

[Phi]

PLATINUM GAMES
It's called Scalebound, Xbone exclusive

- Crackdown CGI trailer

[Phi]

(Oh, I guess they showed Call of Duty Advanced Warfare gameplay before, but who gives a [tornado fang])

Well, that's it for the Microsoft Conference.

It wasn't that bad of a conference, honestly, but it should've shown more gameplay and less CGI trailers.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Not once did they utter the word "Kinect" that I noticed. Count me kinda surprised.

[Phi]

For me, this was the winner of the Conference. The gameplay and parkour mechanics look fun as hell and I love the colorful visuals.

Sunset Overdrive Gameplay Demo - E3 2014

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, having actual, you know, COLOR in the game was a big plus for me as well. Must say, Halo 2 multiplayer screens brought back some fun memories for me. Not enough to make me want an XBOne over a PS4, but still pretty nice.

Nice to see Mighty No. 9 during the indie games montage. WE DID IT! 

[Police Girl]

(Oh, I guess they showed Call of Duty Advanced Warfare gameplay before, but who gives a [tornado fang])

I think that somebody should really tell Microsoft that Call of Duty comes out on other consoles as well and they don't need to waste E3 time on it even if Activision's giving them money for it because it'll sell even if its called "Call of Duty: Screaming Baby."

[OBJECTION MAN]

And nothing of value from EA. They spit on the grave of Bruce Lee and made the worst video games has to offer in Hardline.

[Phi]

If anyone is interested, the Ubisoft live stream will start in about an hour here.
