E3 2015 Hopes and Speculation

Oh look more Zelda.

*yawn*
 
I guess I'm glad I skipped through this one, lol. My only expectations were a new Mario sports game, and I guess I got what I wanted. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam looks pretty neat so far, but Dream Team sort of bored me, and it uses Dream Team assets, but I'll wait and see how that goes. I guess perhaps they're placeholder.

animal crossing

answer: make a *bleep*ty board game out of it
I think Animal Crossing works much better on handheld, so I wouldn't be excited for Animal Crossing Wii U, but man, to quote Luigi, "Aw, what happened?"

But dayum, now they're whoring the money the amiibos can make, lol.
 
God, looking back at the Sunday megaton of the Smash trailer + NWC + Mother 1 VC bomb, I was expecting them to pull out all the stops.

At least the Treehouse seems to be exuding their positive energy into me.

hopefully they actually produce more amiibos to sell then

I mean this direct was focused on new titles that will release in 2015-early 2016 so the absence of anything substantial (bar StarFox) for the Wii U is clear indication that Nintendo is 'transforming' in the sense that they're completely ditching the Wii U (or letting it slowly die, rather) in favour of their next console to be announced at E3 2016. I wouldn't be surprised if they're already preparing major titles for launch, such as Zelda Wii U lol

Coming off the cuffs of their last E3 presentation and Sony's presentation this year, I think a lot of people's expectations were much higher than usual for Nintendo, and so any disappointments seemed much worse than what they really were. In all honesty, the only real disappointment for me was Animal Crossing wii u, everything else was just boring as hell.

At this point, I'm only looking forward to Smash DLC and Mario Maker for Wii U, and that makes me kinda upset. I hope there's some additional announcements through Treehouse over the next few days, but at this point it's looking pretty bleak.

those puppets will haunt my sleep-deprived dreams
 
Well, we still have great games coming out. YWW, Super Mario Maker, Fire Emblem Fates, Star Fox Zero, Zelda U, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and new additions to that list with M&L: Paper Jam, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, the new Zelda 3DS game...

As I said before, the problem with the presentation was the fact that they kind of hyped everything up with the weekend, but they really didn't have anything new to present. And the stuff that they did talk about was basically the aftermath of these past 2 years focusing all their efforts on making big games for the Wii U like Super Mario 3D World, Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, and Sm4sh. The 3DS was rather neglected this past year, with like OR/AS and MM3D being two big games that came out for it. It kind of was fated to be a rather dissappointing presentation, since most of the stuff shown was stuff we already knew about, and the people making those big games these past few years need development time making more big games again, which is why there weren't so many good-looking new games.

I do wish that we didn't have to deal with that talk about Skylanders and Amiibo. Like it's as though they just wanted us to have nightmares.
 
Mario Tennis U and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam both look pretty good too. I'm glad people like Star Fox: Zero so far.

What if they delayed Link Wii U to the next generation? I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

My expectations weren't TOO big since I play only Mario and Smash. I was never super hyped for Smash 4-related anything, especially with those leaked files on Ryu and Roy, so the surprise is spoiled for me.

They've already destroyed a lot of people's dreams.
