Underwhelming is truly the best word for that presentation. I'm super excited about a lot of the stuff that was in that presentation, but I was super excited for all that stuff months ago. Everything new that we saw can best be described as "neat." That's not the reaction you should be gunning for at E3.

The footage looked pretty good to me, but I'm not a big Star Fox fan so what am I missing? I didn't think the graphics were anything to write home about which is weird considering how good Bayonetta 2 looked.

The Star Fox footage did not look good. It felt very rough.

That's because the footage is from an incomplete version from a few months ago when they created the demo.  We go over this every E3, unlike the rest of the industry that likes to trick gamers with blantant bullshit demo's running on PC's so the demo's look better then the final version, Nintendo actually has no problem showing what the games look like in their actual unfinished state. 

The final version of Star Fox is going to look much better then what is being shown here like every other Nintendo game ever shown looks much better then their original E3 unveiling.

You know, as much as I'd like to believe you, I really, really, really doubt that.

Most people are overreacting and are way too paranoid of the NX. Nintendo showed some great stuff recently but just not at E3. Instead they focused on minor stuff, that in previous years they would put on their press site without mention, to increase the hype on them because the bigger games can hype themselves in directs.

Yes this game is going to be the first game in Nintendo's entire history they don't bother to upgrade graphically after it's first reveal.  Hell, they aren't even going to bothering finishing the game.  The final version is just going to be the exact demo from E3 charged at full price because reasons.

Yep, that's exactly what's going to happen. ::)

They seem to have at least nailed down a (quite sterile) art style. While graphics might get some polish, they're not going to significantly change.

Can you please offer me some examples of games that have improved graphically? I can only think of examples with minor improvements.

I don't know if it was "Hype fatigue" from Sony's gigaton announcements And the fact that Shenmue 3 is a real thing but the Digital Event was blah at best for me. Maybe, just maybe there is something else but man...this was most harsh.

Project guard? As in, the game where you look at surveillance cameras?

Sounds right up their alley.

It seems like Platinum is just being used as an outsourced art/programming slaveworkforce while actual design is still done by EAD.

That's disappointing. Similarly how Monolithsoft is used as codemonkeys all over in recent Nintendo projects.

And Star Fox Zero is Nintendo's big holiday 2015 title. At least it's going all out...

From a gameplay perspective it looked exactly like a Star Fox game should, so I'm excited.

So a less interesting version of Sin and Punishment with space animals?

Just finished watching the Direct and...meh? Mario Maker showed strong, Star Fox appeals to my Robotech-based love of transformable fighter craft, Yoshi's Woolly World still looks amazing, and the Fire Emblem games continue to look really promising. Unfortunately, that's about 10 minutes of a 40+ minute Direct, and the rest was a total snore if not outright betrayal (Metroid Prime Federation Force).

I've seen worse Nintendo conferences, but there was just very little in this Direct to excite me. I'm not going to hate on it like a lot of people have, but at the same time Sony & Microsoft set the bar SO HIGH yesterday that it was disappointing to see Nintendo not really show up.
There was a Signature here. It's gone now.

You know at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark when they open the ark and at first there is nothing in it and everyone is in shock?  Toht starts laughing even though his mission has obviously failed.  That's me with Nintendo.  The diehard Nintendo fan is Belloq looking utterly crushed and I'm the jaded fan in the background laughing hysterically.  I don't know why.  I remember feeling very isolated during the Wii years where I thought everything was the shits and yet everyone else acted like everything was awesome.  So maybe I feel some comfort when Nintendo's boobery upsets everyone else.  I'm strangely delighted in their asshatery because at least I can connect with the rest of the fanbase again.

The year isn't hopeless (I does have Xenoblade) but the best stuff was already revealed.  The new stuff comes across mostly as quirky and I'm very sick of Nintendo making quirky stuff.  I want epic and ambitious, not quirky.  I think the Wii U is very obviously being phased out and Nintendo is trying in vain to make us not notice.  The new Wii U stuff is less ambitious on purpose because there is no point right now in dedicating a big multi-year project for that console.  Something smaller like Star Fox and Mario Tennis can be done in a shorter timeframe (ie: before the NX launch).

Platinum put other developers to shame with the amount of projects they are working on at once. So if they are making project guard what happened to project giant robot? Isn't it supposed to be out Q2 this year?
