Not as psyched as I was going in, but there's still plenty more from Nintendo and what they did showcase outclassed Microsoft and Sony. I say two wins in two straight years for the Big N. Wow, really? I thought it was without a doubt the most boring out of all three. That was pretty awful. To convince people that already own PS3s and 360s they needed to show that their console offers something new and different. They didn't. They showed games that they essentially already released on Wii or games that were already out on other consoles. It's not as if they're dead in the water but they'll need to work hard to get me to buy a Wii U. Also, this. |

The Wii U stuff looked good generally, but outside of KH3D and that Epic Mickey game, the 3DS stuff was just kinda there.

BTW, the presentation isn't over. Iwata is showcasing new games on their various streams. Not as psyched as I was going in, but there's still plenty more from Nintendo and what they did showcase outclassed Microsoft and Sony. I say two wins in two straight years for the Big N. Wow, really? I thought it was without a doubt the most boring out of all three. Yes, really. Microsoft was dumb and Sony had a nice close, but I was bored to death for most of it. |

Well that squashed pretty much any intrest i had in Wii U at launch only game that i maybe would get on release is ZombiU and even then i haven't seen gameplay.
I came into this week with an open mind i wanted Sony to sell me on PS Vita and Nintendo to sell me on Wii U but they both failed.
I guess i'll await a price drop on PS Vita.

trying to say Batman not the same game Seems like Reggie was getting annoyed that they kept saying that it looked (and probably is) the same game. |

Microsoft was dumb and Sony had a nice close, but I was bored to death for most of it. Pretty much this. A lot of Sony's big offerings didn't really interest me, the Wonderbook presentation was in the middle of the show and was atrociously boring. The Last Of Us at the end was damn amazing and salvaged a lot of the show, and AC Liberation makes me want a Vita hard, but I can't say I really care about Beyond, Sony Smash Bros., or the new God of War. MS' presentation had a good beginning and end and I'm looking forward to Halo 4, but all the stuff in the middle was very forgettable. SmartGlass could be cool, I guess, but I'm skeptical. Otherwise the presentation was just there. Nintendo's presentation was great until Nintendoland, but that was at the very end. And as they say, location, location, location. It didn't kill any momentum. The Wii U's applications to gaming really pique my interest and I hope developers embrace it instead of half-assing it like with the Wii. Of course that will likely be the case, but this demonstrated the potential of the Wii U's screen and I was damned impressed. |

Geoff was like "we have a demo of an unannounced Wii U game" You could see SESS have a muted nuclear reaction where he had to hold himself back from say "where was that during the conference?!"

I don't know what conference you all were expecting, but short of some of the casual elements, I think it was a fine conference.

So, if anybody's watching the extended Nintendo conference, the Wii U mini-screen is just being used to pick your items for Arkham City? Very Convenient, but still not that amazed.

Also, bitches be complainin' about a new SSB for Wii U. I agree with this complaining. |

AC: Armored Edition seems to have new gameplay mechanics, a new mode and new armor. Oh, and Harley's Revenge DLC.
Now whether that is enough to warrant another buy for those who have played it comes down to who you ask.
I never finished it on 360, so I could see myself giving it a buy. Probably won't though.
