For Nintendo I am pretty excited for SMTxFire Emblem, Fire Emblem Fates, Yoshi Wooly World, and the Mario Party-esque Animal Crossing game. As well as the new Mario Tennis game since I've always loved those games as a child. The Fire Emblem stuff was nice. I think I'll get Skylanders in a year when the next one comes out and the old ones are going for like 80% off so I can have Bowser in a platformer. Glorious.

I wouldnt say a middle finger to F-Zero. That series just straight up wasn't profitable, and Nintendo isn't taunting them with... Federation Farce. Yeah, but too bad some can't get that threw their heads when their favorite franchises can't get enough money and expect them to make a new game of that said franchise. *cough**cough*Darkstalker fanfucks*cough**cough*

To be fair, I think a lot of that has to do with exposure. Nintendo can't just not release games for a series or not release many, then say the IP as a whole isn't successful.
Like they said flat out Star Fox Wii U is only happening because of the motion control gimmick in the event. That's so damn depressing. You can bet they'd still make Mario and Zelda games without gimmicks.

Liked the stuff Sony showed, but Nintendo just left a really bad taste. Metroid is my favorite franchise, but they just seem content to continue taking dumps on it's fans.
If they wanted to make a game like that fine whatever, but don't call it a Metroid when it clearly is not one.

The game is a huge disappointment and hopefully Nintendo learns that their stupid creative pride shouldn't always be their main concern. If the fans want a new Metroid, give them it but work around it, exercise your creative pride while delivering. Hell, I would've been hype over something silly like Paper Metroid.

Man, a material-based Metroid would actually be... pretty freaking cool considering it's not as bright and cheerful as Yoshi and Kirby are. Why aren't you working at Nintendo, Poog?!

Well, when I graduate my goal is to work for Retro, so... give it a couple years.

So Starfox Zero has co-op story! And potentially versus too! But since Japan, their home turf, still largely does couch gaming (unlike most other locations in the world), they've decided not to include any form of online at all.
Can't wait to buy the game used so I don't give them my money.

Welp... that was lame... But at least wasn't EA or Ubisoft.

That's for the disappointed people of this topic. :v
We should never believe the hype. :v

Despite how underwhelming the Nintendo direct was, I still think that Nintendo was able to rival Sony this year due to the presentation and the diversity of games, even though half of what they showed were release dates for games we already know.

I disagree Leon. Nintendo only announced ONE new game that wasn't met with disappointment from the fans. Also. www.change.org/p/nintendo-petition-for-cancelation-of-metroid-prime-federation-forcePetition to have Federation Force cancelled. I signed. Yeah, some of you might see this as going too far, but y'know what? Maybe things of this nature will get it through to Nintendo that they should make games that people actually want, instead of clinging to their stubborn creative pride. I understand wanting to keep your creative pride, but there comes a time where you have to compromise; blending your creativity with what the people actually want. Welcome to business, Nintendo.

Just hope that the Metroid fanbase doesn't go full on cannibal because of this.
