So anyone following the next 12 months of video games?
Nintendo had their conference earlier today and it was woeful
http://e3.nintendo.com/presentation/#/e3-presentation
Video looks way too long for me to watch before my exam but I'll have a look this evening. I thought the Wii U sounded alright though... Any quick summary you gathered?
the conference was 90 minutes in total
there are only ports that have been released for it so far....
the only 2 games i'm interested in, are Lego City and another game that Nintendo did not talk about but released a trailer for after their presentation called Project P, and unless they come out on launch im not buying a Wii U day 1
Zombie U is meh, and i spent the entire 90 minutes raging about how poor the launch lineup was..... now the 3DS didn't suffer overall (highest selling console ever for first 12 months) but still low on 3rd party support and next to no 3rd party support so far for the Wii U

Why would they need 3rd party support when their games are better than anybody else's anyway?
I wish I could go to E3. :(

lol are you serious???? 90% of the games that were on the Wii not made by 3rd party support were terrible......
The Nintendo 64 was a success because of Rare's support as a 3rd party (it was one of the biggest developers in the world at the time)
Gamecube failed because of lack of 3rd party support
The Wii succeeded due to the casual crowd buying Nintendo's new revolution controls and gameplay

Because the Zelda games have never been successful and great games, and I'm sure Mario has always sucked. ::)
Yes N64 benefited from 3rd party support, in no way did it rely on it however, considering it's 3 most iconic games, Zelda OoT, Super Mario and Mario Kart were all Nintendo developed, I think it would have done pretty well without the 3rd party support.
Gamecube was underrated as a system, there were a lot of great games for it, Zelda (again), Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, SSBM and Metriod prime just to name a few. I would choose a Gamecube over PS2 or 3, and over Xbox or 360.
but at least there were games for it outside of Nintendo's development
from what i've seen so far i would only buy one game not made by Nintendo for the Wii U and when 3rd party development is scarce at E3 (considering rumours that its going to be out in 3 months) im not holding my breath for a good launch base.......
the 3DS suffered the same problem
why do you have to have games that are made by 3rd party?
Really interested in that new game 'Watchdog'? i think its called
Kinda like GTA but you are a hacker who can control things like traffic lights etc.. Looks like an interesting concept

we need to know they exist
The new Pikmin looks pretty good, integrating the new controls with the Wii U well. Thoughts?
Watched the Microsoft Press Conference on youtube before I read this article - at the time it had like double the dislikes than likes :P
I like the look of Black Ops 2 Zombies :o

I jizzed in my pants when I saw it
Pyro + Pikmin = <3
cicj you make no sense, my point was, that if there are great games released made by nintendo, then surely you wouldn't need to have 3rd party games specifically, and if such circumstance occurs (nintendo being nintendo it may as well be a given) then that becomes unecessary
The Nintendo games rarely drop in price unlike the 3rd party games. They make lots of cash and are the most profitable company. They are the only one of the big 3 who make profit from console sales where the others rely on the 3rd party deals to make their revenue. Even the GameCube which was not successful in terms of sales, they made a profit with every console they sold. This has never been the case with Sony and Microsoft who need these 3rd party deals since they record large losses with console sales and rely heavily on software sales for their profits.
I just want to see the flowering zombies storyline progress a bit more :D just don't change the formula and keep good maps.

YES!
Like if you don't look for the storyline it's very easy to miss it. Zombies has a lot of easter eggs and mythos about it.

That vid has a lot of creepy stuff in kino. Hopefully they keep that stuff up.

That's some weird stuff in the 4 WaW maps (I have them on ps3).
