E3 2012 Report Card: Score Card of the Giants

June 9, 2012

Gameranx has put together report cards of each of the publisher press conferences at E3. Read on to find out how each company performed at the event.

Nintendo

Nintendo's press conference started well but then continued towards a downhill spiral. Many expected the company to base their E3 presser on the Wii U and they did; just not in the way many expected.

Pros:

  • Pikmin 3 – A pleasant start to the press conference.
  • New Super Mario Bros U – Any Super Mario game is always a positive.
  • LEGO City: Undercover – GTA-styled Lego game? Sign me up.
  • ZombiU – I have to admit Nintendo/Ubisoft might have an interesting new IP on their hands.

Cons:

  • Why not reveal the price? After their E3 presser, Nintendo America president Reggie revealed that the launch price of the Wii U will "pleasantly surprise" consumers. So why didn't they reveal it during the press conference, while the world was watching?
  • Complain that there's not enough time and then waste most of the time showing gimmicks.
  • Lack of release date – We know there's a holiday release scheduled but a release date announcement for the Wii U was heavily expected.
