I'm with Skyblade. Looking forward to Nintendo's showing the most right now. Really hopeful that Pikmin 4 and the next Smash Bros. are closer to release than I expect them to be.

Nintendo is a strange one for me. I mean over the years I've had a Gameboy Colour, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii and a Wii U but I've only ever had like, one game on each platform:
- Pokémon Blue and Yellow on Gameboy Colour
- Pokémon Stadium on N64
- Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles on Gamecube
- Zelda Twilight Princess on Wii
- Mario Kart 8 on Wii U.
I feel like if I get a Switch then it'll end up being history repeating itself. The New Nintendo 2DS is honestly more appealing to me, but I doubt I'll end up getting one.
This is why I'm waiting for a price drop on a used WiiU so I won't break the bank on games I'm curious about and will probably never really play. Nintendo piques my interest sometimes, and I dabble from time to time, I'm usually disappointedOriginally Posted by pudgy bird
Seriously? You missed out on some great games, my dude.
Wii alone had Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii, etc.
Then the Wii U had TP and WW HD, Super Mario 3D World, Smash 4, Pikmin 3, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, and Bayonetta 2.
The Switch is already off to a great start with BotW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, with Splatoon 2 and Super Mario Odyssey due out later this year.
Nintendo is probably the best first party developer in the entire industry right now.

Ah ha, you finally reached that stage of your life. Just wait until it happens to you every year now!
Adding on to that list: LEGO City Undercover, Captain Toad, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors (although admittedly the 3DS got a better version), and Mario Kart 8 until the Switch port.
There are also a handful of game I still want to get before the system is retired. The Wii U has been really fun for me and it was sad seeing it underappreciated.
Although Star Fox Zero was a slap in the face.
I'm just here for the FF7 remake, and I have a very strong feeling I'm setting myself up for disappointment.
This EA Play conference has been an absolute cringe-fest even by E3 standards.
I'm too busy playing vidya to watch announcements about vidya but I'm excited to check out the news once it's all out!
New Star Wars looks good, but otherwise a weak conference like usual from EA. Wish we could've gotten another NBA Jam or SSX Tricky 2.
I was hoping to see some NHL 18.
Star Wars Battlefront II looks great though. I'm considering picking it up.

I think I'm already bummed about the conference. The one thing I wanted was a main Pokemon game for the Switch and that went out the window with this week's direct.
Perhaps Last of Us 2, but that's about it.
I think people really have the wrong expectations for this event.
For Sony's conference, there's no way The Last of Us Part II comes out this year. It's a 2018 title. There's also no way that FF7R is at this event, and if it is, there wouldn't be anything substantial shown because the game is literally still hiring staff for full development. The most we might get is a Kingdom Hearts III release date in 2018, and that's me being optimistic. Most likely they will be showing God of War with a Holiday 2017 release date, a few new IPs, and some other surprise titles. Sony's 2017 was mostly frontloaded this year with Horizon and Persona 5.
For Nintendo's conference...Pokemon Sun and Moon were literally released last year, there is no way that they would have new titles ready for the Switch this year. They have to build new games from the ground up, for a brand new console, in HD, which would be a series first. Give them time. Nintendo is going to be showing Odyssey, Splatoon 2, FE Warriors, and maybe a surprise or two like Smash Switch. You're not going to get a lot of titles because they need to have games ready for 2018 to avoid another drought.
This year has already been great for gaming. I'm just looking forward to seeing more about games I'm interested in, and would be happily surprised by anything new.

Fire Emblem Warriors makes more sense than Hyrule Warriors, if I'm honest. Sounds good too!
This is definitely more of a low-key E3 for me. All the games I was eager for are either out or aren't featured strongly in this E3, or are out in like, a month's time.
Having said that though, I don't think this E3 will be bad, I mean we can't have "the best E3 ever" every year, can we? This E3 will be more low-key than last year's, but I have hopes for next year's E3 personally.
On further thought on what to look forward to. I am curious about Atlus' new Fantasy RPG, especially after how rocking Persona 5 was. I am also hoping to hear some info from Mistwalker's side of things, I know they have a new IP in the works as well as the console version of Terra Battle in development, so it would be kind of cool to hear from them.
Dissidia Arcade coming to PS4 was about the only thing in the background at Squenix I cared to learn about. I don't really care about KHIII or FFVIIR and I'm sure SE still has a few years left of milking DLC for FFXV to finally make it into a complete game that any chance of a FFXVI announcement is not going to happen, especially with KHIII and VIIR still needing to be released. So I'm not expecting anythign interesting from SE, but they also have a bigger chance to surprise me. Sadly, Konami and Capcom are both non-entity's for me, but I am curious to hear what From Software is working on now that they've ended the Dark Souls franchise.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
