Was E3 weak for Nintendo?

[Flip]

This article seems to think so in the lack of information, but how will it translate..

E3 was weak period lol.

Nintendo's 4 press conferences did suck though more then the rest though imo. =/

Considering they have a new system coming out you'd think there would be more information on the pricing or release date.

This is easily the worst E3 I can remember. Right off the bat it was Nintendo's to lose. Sony and Microshaft had nothing and everyone knew it (we knew about everything relevant beforehand). Nintendo had a new system and the stage all to themselves. What do they do? Come out and tell everyone "Um, yeah, here's some news, but we're not gonna reveal all the news you really want until later". As of right now, here is the info we DON'T know:

- launch price of the system
- launch date of the system
- games coming out at launch
- accessories coming out at launch
- a lot of the games currently in development that will come out before March 2013 (you honestly think Madden and NHL ain't coming out at launch? And Treyarch has released every single one of their CoDs on launch day on the Wii)

How fucking retarded is that? I cannot stress enough how stupid they were this year. For a company who usually has an excellent showing at E3 and is often the best at the show (not the conferences), it was pathetic. As usual, Nintendo completely blew it when it comes to PR. It's even worse this year because the door was so wide open for them and they were too chicken-shit to even approach the doorway.

Disappointing from what I saw of it. But I missed all of the conferences and just read some articles.

I didn't see any 3DS news, nothing Wii related.

Just Dance 4, Wii Fit U, New Super Mario Bros U, and Nintendo Land looked like interesting games - but I didn't see any kind of RPG stuff, and that is what I am most interested in.

All first-party I see.

Just Dance is owned by Ubisoft, who has what, 5 games comin' out before the end of the year?

[Eric]

Ubisoft had the most support for the Wii U.

[Julius Seeker]

Add Assassin's Creed 3 to the list. Potentially Mass Effect 3 depending on what they do with the Wii U version of it. I already have the PS3 version and I just haven't got around to playing it yet.

I'm pissed we didn't see Animal Crossing 3DS.

[Julius Seeker]

Yeah, the under-emphasis on 3DS news sucked. Animal Crossing 3DS is the one I am looking forward to the most, or Monster Hunter 4 due to the local multiplayer.

Their Wii U focus essentially just covered some of the titles coming in the holiday season, but many details were absent such as Wii U pricepoint, what's coming from Nintendo after launch week, etc... Mario Galaxy 3?
