FFG Reacts - Nintendo E3 2016 Press Conference
Cordova, TN; June 14, in the year of our Lord 2016--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is providing our reactions to the Nintendo
E3 2016 Press Conference. Reggie Fils-Aime comes out to welcome
everyone. He starts talking about The Legend of Zelda. He claims
everyone at E3 is there to see that game. We get a trailer for
The Legend of Zelda video game. It looks beautiful. Animals,
buildings and more are shown. The grass looks really good in
this game too. It looks very open world. Horse riding, tree
climbing, rock climbing, building climbing, and more is shown.
Zelda is getting some Minecraft concepts added to it. Plenty of
diverse landscapes can be found in The Legend of Zelda Breath of
the Wild.
Reggie Fils-Aime comes back out to claim the new The Legend of
Zelda will be seamless. We can go from one area to another area
without any loading screens. The area in the game is going to be
huge – according to him. He claims boundaries of previous Zelda
games are being broken. Hype? Propaganda? It will appear on
Nintendo NX, and Wii U. An exact release date is not given. Will
the violence, cooking, and more keep this game at the thirteen
and older ESRB rating?
November 18, 2016 is when Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will be
released. The three new starter Pokemon monsters are shown. We
also see the new Alola region (a copy of Hawaii). The first new
live game play demonstration of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon is
shown. Sam and Terry from Nintendo introduce Gamefreak
employees. They have a translator to help with communication.
This is the twentieth anniversary of Pokemon. They changed roles
a bit. We get a video of the new Pokemon games. Looks like
recent Pokemon games. I wonder if any of the controversial and
divisive content has been removed. Some of these monsters look
demonic. Character customization has been returned. They talk
about the game some more. They reveal they included their
spiritual religious beliefs in this game (Eastern religious
themes). Formes of the Pokemon will change throughout the game.
The bottom screen on the Nintendo 3DS XL is not shown. We see
the bottom screen during the Pokemon battle.
The slow pace and fanboyism of the Nintendo employees is
horrible. Typical Nintendo – they want you to focus on whatever
they think is important like bracelets. This feels way too
staged and scripted. The religious belief of evolution is also
referenced. Is Nintendo attacking Biblical marriage with Pokemon
Sun and Pokemon Moon? Twitch commenter’s seems to think so. This
game play is turning into one major long advertisement. Nintendo
is also attacking Christians with the mention of false Pokemon
deities. The size differential of the Pokemon is finally fixed.
Only took twenty years. We won’t need to actually purchase and
play these games. Nintendo is showing us enough to do a review
off of. Even Pokemon is getting worldlier. The video game
industry is getting worse. A new Battle Royale mode is being
added. Four players bring three Pokemon and battle. When the
first player loses all Pokemon, the match is over with. The
winner is the player with the most kills plus how many Pokemon
they have left. Is this online only? Finally we are done with
this annoying infomercial.
That was pathetic Nintendo. Two games are all you show? They are
generally family friendly. Sure both of those games have issues.
I know the industry is in decline but that was minimal to the
extreme. I am glad I decided to stay in Memphis to cover E3 this
year. The whole translator thing for scripted questions was too
long, too boring, and too horrible. Nintendo threw away an
opportunity.
Nintendo Grade: C
