Nintendo bringing E3 to the people at Best Buy

Nintendo-Satoru-Iwata
In what could be the biggest shake up in terms of E3 history, Nintendo announced that they have teamed up with Best Buy to bring select E3 demos to Best Buy stores in North America and Canada this June.

The stores will feature demos of both Wii U and 3DS games. Nintendo did something like this for the Wii U in December of last year and I was able to try the system then which influenced me to buy a basic system and a copy of Zombi U. This year Nintendo has forgone E3 and is instead bringing everything to the public with Nintendo Direct and now this. Nintendo seems more interested in listening to the response of the people than trying to make money and although they lost money this year it seems like the old days of the gamer comes first might be coming back.

E3 will be June 11-13. Xbox will have it’s conference on June 10th along with Sony. Nintendo stated they will have a Nintendo Direct around this time.

Today, Nintendo announced on Nintendo Direct that the latest Sonic game Sonic: Lost World will be exclusive to Nintendo Consoles.

this is good news to people like me since if you ever played a Sonic game in the last 10 years the trend seems to be the best games are on Nintendo Consoles. Sonic Advance, Sonic: Dark BrotherHood, Sonic Colors, Sonic Generations 3DS version, Sonic Rush. Anything cross platform: Sonic Unleashed, Sonic 2006, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Generations seems to be way below quality. Let’s hope this keeps the trend of great Sonic games on Nintendo when the game is released.

Yeah… The news day is very, very slow.

In Japan the band Dragon Ash will be working with Capcom to make a music video for the song ‘Trigger’ using scenes from the game Resident Evil: Revelations meaning Capcom has decided to skip a step and just make their own AMV’s with the game. The trailer will debut in mid May but a preview has been posted below.

Nintendo has decided to skip having a E3 presentation this year since they seem to be having huge success with Nintendo Direct and will host smaller events at E3 this year and I think that is a good idea. Let’s think about all the games announced this year via Nintendo Direct.

New 3DS Zelda game
a new project from Monolith Soft
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Virtual Console deals
Mario news
Console updates

This strategy seems to be working and I hope it gets better in the future.
