E3 2012: Nintendo

Yes folks, it's that time of year again. Every year, I watch Nintendo publicly embarrass themselves, and this year, things got very interesting.

Now, will I commentate on Sony and Microsoft's performances, no, because this a blog dedicated nonetheless to Nintendo. However, I will tell you that Xbox Smartglass will most likely trump the Wii U. And speaking of Wii U, here are some interesting things I got from Nintendo's fag show.

1. New first party titles. I have never, ever been a fan of Nintendo's original games, and games like 'Pikmin 3' did not change my mind at all.

What you just saw, or hopefully saw, was a horrific new Mario game. If you didn't watch the video, let me tell you whats new-NOTHING. Sure, new levels and bosses, but hello, that's every single Mario game.

Oh, and that 'glorious looking' Legend of Zelda demo we saw last year? Zelda made a no show this year, but hey, at least you get the way less attractive Pikmin 3!

2. Wii U Controllers. When I see the 6 inch monstrosity that is the Wii U controller, I can't help gagging. I mean, seriously, look at how big this thing is!








 My Lord. That controller will be heavily criticized, it's very obvious. But hey, if you don't want to use it, you can at least use the new Wii U Pro Controller!

Wait a moment...

 

 

 

 Yes, yes, that is a real controller, and is also a real rip-off. As far as I'm concerned, there are no excuses to that Class 9 Copy-Catting.

You know you agree with me.
