Odd that they keep calling it Cafe.
That proves it's
old info from last year.
I was highly disappointed with Nintendo's E3 conference. They didn't talk about any of the online features except for Miiverse. Miiverse seems very interesting and a big step forward from their past efforts, but it's just a social networking feature (like Twitter or Facebook). Where was the info on Nintendo Network, Achievements, eShop / Virtual Console games, system-wide voice chat?
Most of the games were casual titles. Didn't Iwata say that they were making the Wii U for more "core" gamers? Games like
Nintendo Land won't win over many people from the Xbox / PlayStation side.
Games like Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition, and Zombi U seem very innovative and ambitious, more so than Nintendo's own games. I guess Nintendo wasn't really prepared to show their own titles. Pikmin 3 looks like a GameCube game with higher resolution, it doesn't seem to be really taking advantage of the Wii U's extra power.
I'm surprised that 3rd-party publishers like Ubisoft and WB Games are bringing more "core" games to the Wii U, because the rest of what Nintendo showed makes it look like the original Wii all over again. Casual games, family stuff, no big online features.
