Nintendo at E3 2016

Gunmonkey

Also they are going to show gameplay of the new Paper Mario, and it got an October release date.

Read on IGN they are showing a "Nintendo Game Demo" at 8pm GMT, could be the mystery RPG.

Well, people have been moaning for years that Legend of Zelda hasn't innovated enough over it's lifetime, satisfied with rehashing and remastering existing mechanics and dungeons for each new iteration, becoming more jaded with each new release.
They certainly can't say that this time.
This appears to be the biggest shift in LoZ gameplay since Windwaker, perhaps since Ocarina of Time, and may well shake up the top ten lists for decades to come, as Ocarina of Time has done previously.
Skyrim, Witcher, these have defined the free roaming, action orientated RPG as a gritty, sometimes formulaic and stereotyped cynical world.
Breath of the Wild could well take that template and set it to one side, just as Splatoon has done in the face of the accepted norm in online shooters.
And, with the NX version yet to be seen, even the likes of a remastered Skyrim on PS4/XB1 will find it difficult to compete.

All any system really needs is a really, really good game and the right marketing to push it and the need to own it, into peoples minds.
This Treehouse at E3 may have been the first effective attempt to make Nintendo relevant again, relevant to non-Nintendo fans.

Was reading on mynintendonews that gamespot had 2 New Nintendo games scheduled for yesterday and today. Yesterday's slot was Zelda. Think today's is on at 6pm our time. Just checked and still saying "New Nintendo game!" (exclamation mark is theirs)

And jus remembering as well that Wonderful 101 was first shown on ign or some site. As was Devil's Third

Ace Attorney

Hoping the new IP is for the wii u, wanna see tokyo mirage sessions today too.

/Edit: Looks like some Pokemon AR game for your mobile phone.

No, it's Pokemon, so I switched it off right away.

It's mad, I'd say most people there don't know who he is or would recognise him.

Me either. Had to Google him.

So, next up is the new IP on 3DS, RPG of some sort.

Star Lord

New RPG game now, by Grezzo (the studio that handled the Zelda 3D remakes) on 3DS
Called Ever Oasis

sligeach

Ever Oasis. Off goes the video again. I'll check back in half an hour. It would be helpful if there was a clearly defined schedule.

Andrew76

Dear god the sound is terrible. Turn off your mics folks.

Ace Attorney

its a bit like final fantasy explorers.

sligeach

Box Box Boy. Sigh! Off goes the video AGAIN.

Looks ok. Think Mr. E said the first one was pretty good. Seen enough of it though now and those two folks top right are awful annoying. :pac:

Oh no, it's not the quality that's the problem. The first game was very good. It's that the show has been on for 2 hours and not a single mention of Wii U. And now they've just started the new Mario Party for 3DS. Off!

Mario Party Star Rush on the 3DS.

Ace Attorney

No mention of online multiplayer

Yokai Watch 2 now. What about Wii U?

MilesMorales1

Ooh, maybe they'll have a demo available after the showing?

Playing as a feylene - you don't run out of stamina and don't need hot or cold drinks when going into the opposite environments? Nice.

Star Lord

June 30th the demo will be available!

2 codes for early access going out to some 3DS users! Fingers crossed!

Part of the E3 humble bundle too he said?

Happy days, downloading it now.

Breath of the Wild is so open that you can head straight to the final boss at the start should you wish. Obviously the entire story of the game, which is being kept well under wraps, would be missed out on then.

Edit: I saw Mr.E already mentioned that in the other thread, carry on nothing to see here :pac:

Ace Attorney

Tokyo mirage sessions next wooo!

Ace Attorney

Did anyone else think that it was called tokyo mirage sessions hashtag Fe

looks pretty cool and seems it will take a long time to finish it, i hope i dont choose to not pick a move and then need it later on.

sligeach

Paper Mario: Colour Splash is up next.

A long time ago.

The game is kind of cringey in parts. They rushed through everything so it wasn't a very detailed look at things.

Corholio

The meteorite landing on Hyrule part was interesting, hints at possible space involvement.

seems a very japanese anime type of a game, but i dont mind, i watch anime, looking forward to getting stuck in. hopefully have it finished by the time zelda BOTW is out :pac:

Ace Attorney

paper mario looks great visually but im not sure im diggin the whole card mechanic.

sligeach

They said "that's the end of that segment so please stay tuned" but didn't say what's coming next like they did at the end of the other presentations. A surprise coming maybe? Or more Zelda: BOTW?

sligeach

More Zelda: BOTW.

sligeach

Rhythm Heaven Megamix up next. It's the last segment. It's late, I'm going to bed. If there's a surprise announcement at the end I'll see it in the morning or whenever.

Andrew76

Played a little bit of MHX last night, looks and runs great. Demo is pretty short but enough to know I'll get it when it comes out. After watching the fantastic intro video it had me wishing they'd release a version that looks that good on NX (was disappointed they never released a version for Wii-U). Zelda, MH and an F-Zero or Metroid Prime would have me snapping up the new machine in no time.

Box Boy is half price on the e-shop, under €3, so picked that up too.

Will go have a look at the Paper Mario video in a bit, only saw the first minute but it looked gorgeous. Hopefully it plays something like Thousand Year Door and I'd be tempted to get it.

Mr E

Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It was released in the States yesterday.
Can't find it in the shop here though (I think it will be Rhythm Paradise Megamix here).

Banjo

so... how *do* you pronounce "Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE" if it's not the way you say it's not?

Star Lord

As it's music based, the # could be sharp rather than hash or hashtag...

Mr E

Yep. It's Sharp FE.

It's pronounced Tokyo Mirage Sessions Sharp FE (as opposed to hashtag, which most people pronounce # as nowadays). Rather appropriate, considering in-universe Idol singers make up a couple of the main characters (as # is pronounced as sharp when referring to the musical notation variation).
Strictly speaking, it should be written as ♯FE, not #FE, with ♯ being the sharp notation.

Banjo

soooo...... not "Mash" then....

I don't know why I thought "mash". I don't call the # "mash" normally. Maybe I just wanted some mash? Honestly, I prefer waffles. And it looks more like a waffle too. And given the crossover nature of the game, I'm going to assume the characters making that crossover have to be flexible, even "waffley versatile".

It'll be out in October and is getting a boxed release on the same day as eshop release.

So have they mentioned Federation Force?
