Nintendo E3 2014 - "Press Conference" - Post Show Discussion - #E32014

[Dat Matt]

Edit: @Bolivar: Yeah, it was mostly first party, but the Eshop at the very least is seeing a wealth of content this year, that entire list was what is to expect on that front for just 2014, and then there are DW guys brought in to work on Hyrule Warriors, giving us something completely different then what we expect from Zelda, while still incorporating Zelda Aspects into the DW mix.

I really don't see how you saw a bad conference here, it pretty much gave the WiiU everything it needed to this E3.

Bolivar thinks the 3DS lineup indicates stagnant game design. He's clearly off his rocker, as I can list dozens of true innovations among each of the top games (no offense meant, buddy ).

I get the feeling that Bolivar now only cares about indie support, and doesn't value primary developer contributions at all.

Not that there's anything wrong with that perspective, but it doesn't match my view. Or, apparently, that of most gamers/customers.

There is a discussion going on at #EoFF around the new games. There has been some resistance to the Nintendo's lineup as they are only putting out sequels. While I see what they are meaning, I disagree. Most of the games in this lineup are either new approaches to old games (Yarn Yoshi, Hyrule Warriors etc) or are new titles/sequels to new franchises (Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, Xenobalde etc).

It's better than for example Microsoft that unveiled thinks like Halo HD, Gears 4, Forza 2. I know there was more things on the Microsoft panel, but these were not exclusive titles (Assassins creed, Battlefield, COD etc)

Nintendo may have a bad record of sticking to their franchises, but this time round they are evolving their franchises. A link between worlds is a great example of how a series evolves for new systems.
