Thank god, I'm happy you posted this. Someone told me E3 was today and I couldn't believe it. I literally looked up E3 last night and ignored that it was today.
Anyhow, I still can't get over what Sony did to Microsoft but let's hope Sony/Square Enix introduces more information about FFXV, I could really deal with that right now.

If Sony pulls another Sony, I will make my way to Game Stop and just buy a PS4 with money out of pocket. Bet.
For recap purposes...

@Hika: This was one of the news articles I found three days ago:

No Final Fantasy XV Or Kingdom Hearts III Info At E3 Says Square Enix

Famitsu.com posted a short interview with Square Enix’s Final Fantasy brand director Shinji Hashimoto earlier today, and SQEX.info were quick to translate it. In the interview, Hashimoto says that Final Fantasy XV will not be present at E3 this year.

When asked by Famitsu if information on Final Fantasy XV will be presented at E3, Hashimoto replied:

Well, first I’d like to say that development for FFXV is going well. Internally, we try to ascertain the best timing for revealing new information about FFXV to the fans. So when we were going over our promotion plans, we judged that this year’s E3 would not be the best time to exhibit information about FFXV.

Instead we are currently planning to exhibit new information at events after E3 2014. I am extremely grateful to all the fans who excitedly anticipate FFXV, and I’m looking forward to share new information when the timing is right. I would appreciate if fans hold out until then.

Hashimoto also confirmed that information on Kingdom Hearts III will not be at E3 either. He told Famitsu: “We are are working diligently on KH3, but I think releasing new information will still take some time. We included a small part regarding the story of KH3 In the new trailer [for] KH 2.5 prepared for E3 2014, so please check that out.”

Guess Battlefield: Hardline marks the end of the classic series (or was that Battlefield 4?)
GTA + Cops & Robbers w/ a bit of Payday? Fun, but not exactly Battlefield esque...

Also COD: AW has a mission in South Korea. Sweet.

My PS4 is gonna be happy to play these soon...

And my wallet is gonna be empty.

Pretty sure the main Nintendo site will post them all later (yay RSS feed).

I'm so looking forward to Nintendos E3 announcements, i'm shivering with hype what they'll reveal there.
La Volpe
Lets hope for new infos about the new Smash Bros and the Hoenn remakes. :)
NotEvenDoomMusic
Holy shit, i'm so hard.

Actual OR/AS trailers that looks visually similar to X/Y but with it's own twist.
Your own Mii in SM4SH with 3 different fighting Styles and costumizable movesets - oh and Palutena confirmed as an addition into the SM4SH roster.

Oh Oh and the games shown there are so tasty aswell.
That Wii U TLoZ looks visually stunning, hope it wasn't all CG and close to the actual game graphics.

Looking forward to the Smash Invitational

It's a thing of perspective.
IMO i thought that Nintendo had one of the more inovative games, i mean everything shown from Sony and Microsoft were okay but didn't appealed to me, especially all of those games weren't trully "exclusives" and if, they aren't worth getting a console for, which is compelling me to get it on PC eitherways if i had a powerful machine and if that particular game would be released for PC (which it does in most cases).
Oh yeah and the 100 filters in those FPS games became a standard that i really don't wanna put myself up with so i actually stick with the simplicity that Nintendo is bringing me onto the table.
I don't really need a heap amount of AA in my games so yesh.
Fun over Experience i suppose on most parts.

While some games weren't really hypeworthy on Nintendo's lineup for some people, i actually was personally happy they're still trying their best to make up with the marketing failures of the Wii U in the past year(s) and basically giving people more reasons to support their console.
Maybe i have my nostalgia glasses on, but Nintendo did their advertising right by giving me games that could be fun multiplayer and doesn't require much complexion to satisfy the entertainment role on what games are supposed to be.

Yea , maybe. But i don't like Nintendo so much because they force you to buy a Wii U , for some awesome games. Just release Zelda , Mario Kart and Bros on PC money will rain for Nintendo.

I didn't expect Captain Toad at all. I wonder how it will turn out.

While I am not sure who won E3, I'd say that EA was the worst one.

I've watched throught Nintendo's E3 with a friend who is 100% against console gaming and said that Nintendo made the right choice making their game as beautiful as the hardware could limit them to do so.
We've watched the entire thing together and dayum, we were hyped until the end.

I'm a little sceptical when it comes to that "Splatoon" game as the gameplay looks very solid but i wouldn't pay the full price for it as the game is multiplayer heavy with not so much coverage in singleplayer.

"Mario Maker" also had filled me with scepticism at first but vanished as they revealed that you could switch from the old 8-Bit SMB to the most graphical updated NSMBU and i can assume the possibility to share creations amongst the people on the internet. Again, it's a fun little tool but i don't feel like paying as much as a full fledged game.

and overall i think the reveals are surprisingly big especially very surprising for me with "Kirby and the Rainbow Course" and "Yoshi's Woolly World".
Both good games on it's own and i recognize both franchises as something i would forever support.
"Xenoblade Chronicles X" was a little out of place and i'm not accostumed with the whole Xeno universe, but i know it's another JRPG so i'm secretly really looking forward to that.


Oh yeah, did i already said that i'm soooo going to buy the shit out of the Wii U?

kirukashi wrote:

If you have spare money and a lot of time in your hands (dunno if you have like, summer break or something if you're going to school) getting a Wii U now is the best time to hop onto.
Since MK8 comes with another free game (MK8 itself is an incredible game by itself) of a pre-selected lineup until 31th of July.
Lineup includes:
Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros U, Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014, Wii U Party, The Wonderful 101 and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

I would personally recommend anything that you could have fun with for a long while in singleplayer... and according to the internets, TLoZ:WWHD was chosen the most, but i could be wrong since the lineup is quite solid and some might choose other games instead.

Basically this, and i have a WiiU but i dont understand how it will be multiplayer if you only have one WiiU or something

Does it connect from around the world or something? i just hope they figure it out sooner or later

A good final fantasy should fill my Square Enix gap
NotEvenDoomMusic
Well it's harsh to say but Square Enix just can't produce good games anymore that aren't remakes or visual updates.
The music's always been awesome thanks to Nobuo Uematsu and character designs are sometimes charming, but that's virtually all they have left to spare.
Their prime was when they were still Squaresoft, but the longer they were holding up with the name Square Enix- the gradually worse the quality became to a point where we've even faced the pure essence of greed as a FF IOS game that was "Final Fantasy All the Bravest".
At least in my opinion.

Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is the only thing that's probably be going for Square Enix when it comes to releases, even though it's just an visual upgrade from the PSP release.
It's been awaited for years and years since when it first came out so i think for people who are looking forward to that, i suppose, is something nice.

If i want to ever have a good and original JRPG again, i would probably go and seek it at Level-5's library.
Not even including just Ni No Kuni that achieved a surprisingly high rating, but how the company in general reminds me a bit of the former Square as they're experimenting with the genre a lot.

Same here basically, the lineup is especially big for the people who have a PS4/XBONE. I haven't tuned into any other stream than Nintendo's (since i didn't wanted to miss out on any SM4SH footage) so i can't tell how all the games showcased in the competition went.

Not going to fuel this thread more with "specific company affection" or anything, but from what i can tell throughout watching Nintendo's Treehouse since day 2 through day 3 is that the games they're planing on releasing are quite nice.

To update my post here since i saw a fair amount of gameplay on the Nintendo Treehouse stream over the course of 2 days from various games, i'll have a short overview to what i would keep an eye out personally.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse looks amazing, so does Yoshi's Woolly World and Captain Toad.
Amazing in a cute sense, Kirby looks extremely squishable and the style (clay) they went for Kirby is a little bit weird but i love it- also being a fan of Kirby Canvas Curse this game looks fantastic. As for Yoshi's Woolly World; I love how fluffy and soft everything looks, it's very soothing to watch and is charming in its gameplay, though they re-used the design concept they did with Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Captain Toad, already having had an appearance in SM3DW finally got a game on his own and it also looks very cute!
Gameplay of Captain Toad is simple, it's a pure collectathon so there's nothing much one can say since combat is almost non-existent. (except for some strategical/puzzle ones)

Bayonetta 2 really caught me by a surprise that if you purchase Bayonetta 2, you get the first Bayonetta with the retail copy additionally and ontop of that you'll get Nintendo-exclusive costumes that has ingame actions/purposes for the first Bayonetta for free.

Mario Maker and Splatoon still remain the same in my opinion, even after being able to watch gameplay footage.
It's not that they lack content; it's that because of how "not limited" you are.
Of course you can sink into making levels in Mario Maker for a fair amount of time and play hours and hours of multiplayer in Splatoon- but to me, they're more like laidback and open ended games when you're coming back home from work to either create a level or two, or have one or two matches.
I definitely acknowledge them as something "fresh" but nothing more than E-Shop games that i would pay 20-30 bucks for.

Mario Party 10 is a game i >would< consider taking into my list but i'll have to think about it after more gameplay trailers are released.

Last but not least is Xenoblade Chronicles X that i couldn't speak much about in my last post.
It looks sharp and the gameplay is solid, even though throughout the demo there was a lack of translation (since the game still was 95% in japanese, except of moments like the art tree and character costumization menu) the game got me into wanting more.
Really a title i am digging after it finally gets a western release since i love me some real time RPGs.

Oh yeah there also was a game that had been shown at day 3 on the Treehouse which is called Devils Third.
I couldn't bother with it much since it's an 3rd Person Shooter with heavy melee combat.

Star Fox Wii U also been announced so i'm looking forward if they stay to the roots of Star Fox 64 in terms of how the gameplay will resemble as it hands down, was what defined Star Fox in the first place amongst the original SNES version.

There are also some surprising games for the 3DS that i would keep an eye out that is Fantasy Life, Code Name S.T.E.A.M and of course Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
Fantasy Life for being a "without boundaries" RPG - oddly similar to something like Animal Crossing but with a combat and job mechanic, Code Name STEAM for being a turnbased strategy game wich reminds me of Advance Wars and Fire Emblem and MH4U because it's Monster Hunter.


I should probably lay down with writing so much everytime...

I thought I just read a description of Mabinogi for a second lol

I didn't follow E3, so I really appreciate your post. Thanks.


I didn't play the first Xenoblade at all despite owning a Wii. I generally don't enjoy JRPGs, but all these positive feedbacks I read are persuading me.
NaomiMinette
Adding on to Xenoblade Chronicles X: it's apparently not a true sequel, just a spiritual sequel. Either way, I'm probably gonna be getting it since I like the idea of having real-time battles with online multiplayer (at least, I think there will be). I'm definitely getting Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Super Smash Bros. (probably both systems along with an amiibo). Also, I'm probably getting Yoshi's Wooly World and Toad's Treasure Tracker(?), but that depends on what they plan on adding/showing us later. Finally, seeing as Star Fox for Wii U will probably be a very long way off I can't really get hyped over it quite yet, but I AM looking forward to a trailer/gameplay footage.

P.S. Despite Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire not showing up during the Treehouse livestreams, there ARE more videos and screenshots for the games, but I still don't know if I'll get either one.

I mean shit, they can't produce good games anymore, and that's coming from a long-term fan. I've played every Final Fantasy starting from III and lately it's just not working for me. I hated to admit this after watching Square Enix this year but it's true. They're literally keeping me away from my love (FFXV) and it might just be because I'm hurt by the fact that it's not out yet/more information hasn't been released about it just yet.

I mean think about it, did they really need to remake X/X-2? I saw no purpose in that, just looked like desperation to me.

P.S. - For contribution, the only games I'm looking at right now would be Destiny, Halo 5 + the Master Chief Edition, CoD:AW (somewhat I suppose), and maybe Lego Batman, just for the purpose of playing it around my nephew.
