Nintendo stock has dropped in Japan due to bad reactions from E3.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/30645
Nintendo's stock has fallen by 2.68 percent on the Japanese stock exchange, seemingly because of the bad reaction to Nintendo's E3 presentation.
Nintendo has been criticised over the past couple of days by various press outlets, due to the fact that many felt they did not reveal many new titles and headline-worthy game announcements. The bad press has apparently affected stock holder faith in the company's upcoming products.
Seriously. Nintendo has got to get out of this rut of only announcing games that are 6 to 8 months from release. What happened to the old days of getting your fans hyped by announcing a new game that was a year to two years away? What happened to showing footage of a game like Ocarina of Time three years before it's eventual release?! I miss those days of Nintendo. Truly was an exciting time to be a fan of this company.I don't really like that at all. Unless they're ready to release something within at most a year (even that might be too long since **** could hit the fan with that much development time left), I'd rather they just keep working on it and delay in secret if they have to. I don't want to know they they planned poorly or that they decided what they spent months working on had to be thrown out. I don't want to wait 3 years after being told I only had to wait 1. What you show me 3 years ago could be a completely different game come launch. Show me the game I'm going to get and get soon.
Stocks rise and fall all the time. If someone starts just a rumor that Nintendo is buying, say, Capcom, stocks of both companies would rise dramatically. Just on a rumor, not a real announcement.So I herd Nintendo is buying Capcom...
stockholders are usually informed of announcements before they occur.No, it doesn't work like that. Insider trading and all that.
I don't think most investors watch the E3 conference. They watch reactions.After the conference, analysts swarm the place to gauge reactions and there's an analyst conference the next day. That's the more traditional method of investors getting info.
Dark Siders 2, AC3, Aliens, Trine, Rayman, Mass Effect 3, ZombiU, Batman, Tekken Tag and that P-100 game! How is all that not exciting?
so far we know the best versions of AC3, Aliens, and Ninja Gaiden will be on Wii U.
...Some of you have no brains what so ever, just ignorant mutha fletchers who have gotten what they want but it's never enough.
We know new IP's are being made...

They're not exciting because they're known quantities, and Nintendo has never really established a reason why I'd want to play them on Wii U. 10 million people (myself included) already bought Batman last year; Mass Effect 3 will mean even less than it already does on Wii U without the previous games in the series (there is seriously no reason for anyone to buy that version of the game); and I already played Trine 2 to death last year as well. If they're new to you, great. But if you cared about those games, it's extremely likely that you already bought and invested an unhealthy amount of time into them.
As for the others, it's a a mixture of "I don't care about that genre" and "why would I want to play these on Wii U when I can already play them on platforms I already own?"
Nintendo's big failure this E3 is that they never made their case for the Wii U as the definitive gaming experience for anything multi-platform. I've been waiting for Nintendo to truly prove the GamePad as a must-have, experience-redefining device since they announced the Wii U. Instead, they've shown exactly what I thought it'd be: the same gimmicky, unnecessary map/status screens that were common on the DS and 3DS. And until they show how the Wii U versions are truly "definitive", its' hard to get excited over ports.Quoteso far we know the best versions of AC3, Aliens, and Ninja Gaiden will be on Wii U.
...Some of you have no brains what so ever, just ignorant mutha fletchers who have gotten what they want but it's never enough.
Naturally, you've played all the various versions of these games, including the Wii U version, so you could have an informed opinion. Otherwise, that would make you quite the "ignorant mutha fletcher".QuoteWe know new IP's are being made and we know Nintendo's core franchises are in the works.
And "we know" this because...Science? Magic? A predestination paradox? Seriously, how do you know that "new IPs" are being made?
I'm actually quite interested in Rayman Legends, but I thought that was a multiplatform release? If it isn't, Ubisoft is throwing away quite a bit of money considering they ported Rayman Origins to just about everything.
