E3 2021 | Nintendo

@fedor: Ah, that’s right. I forgot about that. Makes sense that they’d be very busy then.

2D Metroid and Advance Wars, it hardly could be better for me.

@hardwenzen: Award for being present at E3 🏅

:P

Don't know anything about that. I always do my due diligence on these things to make sure these shows at least have something worth looking at.

So when an article came up saying that Take-Two would literally NOT be revealing any games at all at their keynote, I skipped it and moved on.

Actually, i just fund a highpoint! Giancarlo Esposito. That is all. All 3 points goes to him, even tho, from what we've seen in all cutscenes of him, nothing half decently interesting was shown. Vaas was light years better.

I wish I would have saw that link before watching it. Stopped after 10-15 min in complete disbelief.

It looks good to me. (gameplay not cinematics).

Yeah, I was tempted to do a PSA thread on it, but then I thought it wasn't something worth a whole thread on that would probably just get sidetracked into random off-topic stuff, so I made do with a quick post in my Warner Bros + PC Gaming Show + UploadVR thread instead.

Sorry you didn't see that one. Maybe I should have done that PSA thread after all.

So first party for the rest of the year for Nintendo looks like this:
Mario Golf- June 25
Skyward Sword- July 16
WarioWare- September 10
Metroid Dread- October 8
Mario Party- October 29
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl- November 19
Advance Wars- December 3

Meh??? I'll be getting atleast 3 of those but I'm not amazed.

I am getting 1. 😂

@drummerdave9099: that is a pretty shit list of games.

Mercury Steam on Metroid. 😐

Hoping for the best, but probably be mid.

Just hope Sakamoto and other Ninty peeps are leading the design.

@drummerdave9099: I’d like to get:

- Mario Golf Super Rush

- Skyward Sword HD Remake

- Metroid Dread

- Advance Wars 1 + 2

It was a good direct. Wasn't expecting Metroid Dread. Ever since it's tease from Prime 3, every Metroid fan was hoping it will be officially announce and today was the day. Bringing back Advance Wars was also a shocker. BOTW2 looking amazing.

@ConanTheStoner: MercurySteam did fine on Metroid (Samus Returns, remaking the horrifically aged Metroid II).

Oh! I just looked at their portfolio. Looks like they mainly do ports but who knows. Maybe they will deliver.

Metroid Dread, AW 1 & 2 remakes, SMutha effin'T V and BotW2 footage! Home Run!

lmao that's why the gameplay feels this bland. This dev has no idea what a proper metroid is supposed to be.

@Pedro: They made two God of War games called "Castlevania" as well.

I am amazed people are hyping WarioWare. 😐 It must be a nostalgia thing. Same with Advance Wars.

Nintendo won again.

Wii DA BEST, BRRRUUUUUH

LISTEN!

I noticed they never show 'Link' from the front. Inb4 Zelda is the main character of BOTW2 and gamers throw a tantrum, I'm calling it now.

Anyway lame presentation. SMT5 and maybe Warioware are nice to see but otherwise pretty meh. Something felt kind of off about Dread, I'm not feeling it. Also I'm about to call MP4 and Bayonetta 3 vaporware for missing yet another show.

Are the Metroid Dread developers the same ones who did the Strider remake game? I really enjoyed that one.

The one that did Strider was bought by Amazon, I think.🤔

You gotta hype something out of nothing if you're one that praises the show. That's what most sheep are doing.

I'm actually thinking you'll play both of them at different points.

@Pedro: Huge Advance War fan. And I should be jumping for joy with this double remake. But the art style looks disgusting in this.

@Archangel3371: No, it's the ones who made the 3DS Metroid 2 remake.

Oh, also wanna laugh at those who said BotW2 won't have any visual upgrades, even though those same people will deny it replying to this.

I am worried about Pokemon Legends though. No new footage is a bad sign. Really hope they delay it to November.

@Pedro: Ah, that’s right.

@techhog89: Oh, ok. Thanks.

Yeah dont care for WarioWare. But Tactical battles play well on Switch and Advance Wars was great on GBA. With no new Fire Emblem and M+R off till 2022... Advance Wars will be the go to tactical rpg on the system this year.

Was really hoping for a FE Collection.

For me, my picks for this year are:

• Mario Golf
• WarioWare
• Metroid Dread (Super hype for that Nintendo exclusive alone)
• Mario Party Superstars
• Advance Wars
• Danganronpa

Pretty solid Direct. I'd give an 8/10. Slightly lackluster for E3, but still great. A lot of stuff that I will be buying and not sure about Super Monkey Ball, I'll wait for reviews on that. However, there lies one of the issues of this Direct. A lot of those games listed are collections. I already own a big chunk of those games, but getting them on Switch is a plus for the likes of me, and on top of that, we didn't see too much of BOTW2 and there wasn't really a massive killer announcements to say the least, but that's fine. It was a great Direct and I can't wait to sink my teeth into some of these games I'm buying day one!!!

Still really hoping Capcom announces a Battle Network Collection and/or a new game in the series at some point in the near future.

I wouldn't be, as I said before usually the details are reserved for a Pokemon-centric Direct.

Mario Golf and the new Metroid seem interesting. Assuming it's a new Mario Golf and not a port of the same one they keep porting.

@techhog89: I don't want to be mean. Trust me, i know you were sweating for this Direct since yesterday. Reality is, visually speaking, this is what i would've expected on a Gamecube/WiiU. Its over decade old visuals in 20-30fps. If i were to add botw1 pics, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference, so lets just forget about graphics, shall we? Its a portable system. Visuals and frames are not important. What's important is being able to play video games on a bus.

Now that advance wars 1&2 remasters are coming out can we just rename e3 the nintendo show who knows wth they are doing with games.

@hardwenzen: Still looks pretty good to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You're into AssCreed. Its normal that this looks good to you🙃

And you're an ubibitch, it's normal you bitch about all that stuff. 😄

lol

Different strokes for different folks.

@hardwenzen: GameCube and Wii U have the same graphics? :o

I don't think he plays video games at all. Me, I play games that I think looks fun.

So, gotta say, was not expecting Kazuya in Smash. I would've thought someone more wacky from Tekken or SoulCalibur would have made it. Like Yoshimitsu or Lei Wulong. Then again, he, Jin, and Heihachi are mascots for Tekken.

Welcome addition though.

Both are outdated. When i look at the better looking GC games, compare them to WiiU titles, which i then compared to botw1 and 2, its just a bunch of muddy textured titles with incredibly outdated lighting, piss poor draw distance, etc.
