Check sensor bar settings.

E3 trailer had me excited for the first time, E3 demos made me care significantly less again. Obviously going to buy it, since it is Zelda and the last home console release was 5 years ago, but that's it.

The controls simply look annoying. I'm a defender of motion controls in more complex game, if done well like in No More Heroes, Silent Hill, Red Steel 2, etc., but this seems to distend it way too much. Sure, we all wanted proper motion controlled combat since the Wii was announced, but I certainly don't need waggle for climbing, swinging on lianas, escalating on the bird, etc. etc.

Already almost killed DK Country Returns for me. Waggling for rolling and blowing. It doesn't mimic anything the character does in game, doesn't improve the gameplay and is simply unnecessary.

People declare Nintendo being doomed and losing its way since Sega has entered the console business back in the day, haha. Either MS or Sony will eventually fall out of the console race, but Nintendo still has a good amount of time left in there, as long as the whole staff isn't replaced from one day to the next.

I also can't believe we're back on 2006 standard with ,,Nintendo only cares about soccermoms, wah wah'' nonsense. Despite aiming towards a new group of mainstream gamers especially in advertisments and such, they still made a ridiculously high amount of high quality software aimed at more experienced players, with several of the best games in this gen among them. No idea how it is supposed to be a fact that the competetive companies are in any way superior. In fact, as I can not stand FPS and W-RPG games, the exclusive Xbox360 retail library has to be one of the worst I've encountered in all the years I've been playing video games. Genres like platformers would be pretty much dead outside of download services, if it wouldn't be for Nintendo and as a European I am now enjoying one of the best (if not THE best) console JRPG in this gen, which is also made by Nintendos 1st party.

You might want to blame 3rd parties for their poor support (even though I personally take creative niche games over high budget space marine games any day), but accusing Nintendo themselves for abandoning their core audience? lol, ridiculous. The amount of their classic, ,,hardcore'' franchises on Wii easily surpasses N64 for example (even without F-Zero...) and most of them are of high quality. And if a game like DKC Returns, which obviously has a difficulty aimed at hobby gamers, can be such a big success, what was the point again? It might not have Wii Fit numbers, but it was still really big. (Most successful western-developed game in Japan since PS1 days...)

Not to mention that Sony also owes ,casual gamers' a lot, since the PS2 wouldn't have been the same success without Singstar, Eyetoy and so on (which truly turned out to be a fad, unlike the Wii, which sold incredibly well over several years) and Microsoft is doing the same with Kinect now. I guess they lost their way too?

That was funny, but innacurate :P

Last Story is 2012 in Europe.

Gonna get Xenoblade next week, Skyward Sword whenever it comes and perhaps Rayman Origins.

[QUOTE="TheLordMagnus"]It only took 20 years, but Nintendo finally broke the basic story pattern for Zelda games. Its about time.Bobbles

Nor Majoras Mask. Or Minish Cap and any other HH Zelda.

No, but I certainly want 3D platformers in the same vein back. I need something like Banjo back, or at least bring Rayman 4 :( They should keep doing their own thing with Mario meanwhile.

"since he has a major thing for Zelda." creepy stalker boss confirmed? :lol: so they never even thought there was a world under the clouds? nobody ever fell down? nobody ever decided to check out with their birds? BE MORE CURIOUS, SKYLOFTIANS.BrunoBRS

Only Links bird can fly beneath the clouds.

First gen which makes me happy to be a NoE consumer. Iwata rocks.

Not too hard to find, really: http://e3.nintendo.com/games/detail/#/wii/kirby

Good.

Their shows with new hardware were never disappointing. Even if the price or other details about Cafe are going to be horrible, we certainly won't see that on the conference.
