GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kosheh]

Normally Nintendo has one of the best E3s, normally being my favourite every year (except the year Rayman Origins was first revealed, and the Wii Music one [did that even come out in the end?]) this year, just a whole lot of meh (and Platinum making Star Fox).

A good conference is one that shows the company knows what their market wants, to the point of making something so awesome people didn't even know they wanted it yet (aka Yarn games, Mario in space, hunting robot dinosaurs etc).

But that's the thing: there were a lot of new titles announced and some real out-of-left-field things (amiibo Skylanders? Co-op Zelda)

Nintendo had a petition set up to cancel a game. I can't think of any E3 where this has happened.

It's probably because social media hadn't reached that level of stupidity yet. You can't cancel a game that's basically done. That's the most ass-backwards logic ever, and it's hard to believe people would actually call for its cancellation. (I don't really get the reason for its cancellation; is it because it's a multiplayer co-op Metroid that people don't like the idea? Do they not have friends to play with?

I wonder where the petitions were to cancel Wii Music?

(also, yes, Wii Music came out. As would be said in the UK, its gameplay was complete bollocks. It was Rockband for rhythm-challenged White People)
