For the first time in PAX East history, Nintendo won't attend

Nintendo won't be at E3 this year either. You heard it here first.

You would think with sales doing so poorly they would try to show up to get people excited about the Wii U

I agree with some of the comments on here, Gamespot has singled out Nintendo once again because it's easy troll bait, it's a typical Eddie Makuch article very misleading (leaving out Sony) and intended to anger the fanbots, I suppose this is probably the article that's going to be used in this weeks last ever Feedbackula.

I thought it was pretty cool how Nintendo was brought their new/unreleased games to places like Best Buy so that lots of people could try them, people that normally would never get a chance at trade shows or conventions. I live in a small city that would normally get overlooked for this kinda stuff, so I was surprised when Nintendo brought that stuff to the local Best Buy. Also it's the only chance for people like me to get their hands on a foam Luigi hat :).

Probably too busy working on a new console.

THE END IS NEAR ...RUN MARIO RUN!

*Insert Retarded Eddie's writing* "Ummm Ummm guys lets attack nintendo for a incredibly small convention, come on guys lets hate for no apparent reason (lol they dont know that a shitload more of companies are not going but this guys will get stirred up and take shots at nintendo for whatever reason and click on my retarded articles)"

Btw here is the list of companies not going to Pax East:

Nintendo
Sony
EA Games
Capcom
Sega
Deep Silver
Popcap
Mad Catz
Frima Studios
Twisted Pixel
Perfect World
CCP Games
Creative Labs
Asus
Moga

[Trailervoice]In a world where nobody has heard of pax east...[/Trailervoice]

'big three'? I think Nintendo, despite their largeness, is slipping on their front.

Why in the title Nintendo is the only on mentioned and not sony? and also only with a nintendo image? Can someone please tell me how a "writer" like eddie makes above minimum wage?

Maybe they might not shock us in awe now at an announcement for a Mario game? Who'd see that coming?

No Capcom either? Would have thought they would have Street Fighter with them

what is pax east?

"Mario maker skipping this year's show, but the company says it will offer a "variety" of opportunities for fans to try Nintendo games in 2014."

It's called the Wii U, now please go and buy it so we can attend in 2015!

"Oh and sony isn't appearing"

I'm sorry but that is bias GS.

Probably from the dickwolves controversy last year

Apple stopped doing conferences like this years ago. No reason for them once you are a big company. Great for the small devs but a waste for nintendo, sony, ms

Sorry Nintendo... but watching Nintendo direct is an horrible experience that makes me want to commit

is this an indication that they will be quiet at e3 this year as well? they do have smash and kart to promote, so it would make sense to go... i guess?

Nintendo I've heard of but what the hell is pax east?

This article is the epitome of Eddie journalism.

"Not coming to Wii U" is missing here

I know GS isn't the place to find prime journalism... but wtf. Don't you guys have any kind of pride on your own profession? Why not put in the title that both Sony and Nintendo will be missing PAX East?

Anyway...

For first time in PAX East's brief five-year history, Nintendo (founded in 1889 and making video games as early as 1975) won't attend

Fixed.
