I will LOL if Sony drops the ball too and Ninty winds up back on top through the sheer stupidity of its competitiors… you can’t write shit this ironic.
Nintendo has a really good chance at dropping bombs this year but again I say they’ve been known to drop the ball even when it’s been softly handed to them. It won’t take much at all for me to be happy with them this year though. Show me Bayo 2, W101, something on Smash, and make Sonic Lost World look good. My last wish has the the highest chance of letting me down. Anything else they show whether already announced (Monolith Soft’s X) or not (Retro’s Starfox?) is just going to be icing.
Nintendo just needs it’s big hitters with a new gloss and smart moves with it’s systems they win. Yet MS and Sony do have new systems to show with games so maybe it will just be a slight 3 way botch fest.
The only way Sony will fuck up is if they actually go through with having the same PR nightmare that MS is going through currently. Sony isn’t starting out in the hole going into E3 but they can easily get put there…It’s so easy Sony…JUST DON’T DO IT! MS is so deep in the hole right now that we can’t see them.
AmirOx made a thread on Gaf that kind of chronicles some of the events leading up the Xbone reveal and the aftermath with quotes from the sources and what not.
It most certainly has rage. There’s no doubt about it but it does a good job of letting you pull back and see how bad of a PR mess up this is.
Nintendo in Japan announced a Direct strictly for Monster Hunter 4 and Ace Attorney 5 on May 31st 7am EST for those interested
Rayman Legends confirmed for Vita
It will get a bit of exclusive content along with the ability to use Murphy.
1st console is a debut (NES, SEGA Master System, PS1, Xbox)
2nd is where they show off how amazing they are and as such explode in polarity (SNES, Genesis, X360, PS2)
3rd is where they get too full of themselves, think they can do no wrong then fuck it up (N64, Saturn, PS3, so far maybe XOne)
4th is the rebuilding year where they slowly can turn things around or die (GCN, PS4, Dreamcast)
