I really love the way how they presented the 3DS line-up at 19:45

[@Molluck1]

It was very unique and well done, nothing has ever been presented in such a good way at E3.

[@MadrigalNeXus]

I remember this E3 so well. Even after 6 years, it is still my favorite E3 yet. and the opening. For me, there's just something so special about this E3 that always makes me want to come back again and again for more

[@JonRobTom]

Watching this again to look back on the Nintendo 3DS. The legendary handheld had a great run. R.I.P. 2011-2020

man i miss satoru... rest in peace :(

[@bareq99]

[@ZenithMedia1]

I love my Wii U, but looking back 10 years later, I now understand it was a hard and confusing system to explain.

[@christansanchez8686]

Is that why it did badly?

[@1996HerreraJohn]

@@triborn217 Yup I remember seeing the trailer on the front page of the KZbin channel on the Wii and me and my friends were watching it & whole time I thought it was just a cool gamepad for the Wii until Zelda was shown & afterwards learned it's a whole new console. The reveal trailer barely even showed the actual console.

[@Brotatochip6507]

They kept calling it the “new controller” instead of the “new system”

[@ganados0]

I remember rival fanboys tearing into that third party Wii U footage stating it was inferior to their precious PS3/360 versions and then Nintendo revealed they used footage from the PS3/360 versions.

[@haruhisuzumiya6650]

Ricky Spanish now they are telling us that we should be get the 3rd party on board.

[@VAST56]

Watching Kid Icarus Uprising always gives me goosebumps! Such an amazing game.

[@ituebr8505]

So true! One of the best games I have ever played!

[@dilloncarey9185]

Goodness, yes! This reminds me so much of my first few years with my beloved 3DS. We just hit it off with each other and couldn't be separated. I charged her, and she entertained me. Sadly, she eventually deteriorated until she was beyond recognition. Long live Nintendo!

[@dhLord64]

One of the best E3's ever. A shame nobody bought the Wii U. I loved it. Moreso than my Switch.

[@its_eli]

A necessary stepping stone to the Switch. Imagine if this "failure" caused Nintendo to give up. Just got my Switch Oled yesterday and it's a thing of beauty... I'm grateful for that Wii U era.

21:09 The best announcment of the conference

[@Baika360]

Seeing this now to analyze for NX theories.

[@dilloncarey9185]

Good idea, but Nintendo itself has stated the Nintendo (NX) Switch will be completely different from the 3DS and Wii U. Moreover, with the trailers recently released, this seems to be true.

[@CaptainX2012]

I like how back at this E3, Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land were the big things, and now we have Super Smash Bros. on 3DS and Wii U. :P

[@joink25]

Looking back on it now, they 100% presented the Wii U as a controller peripheral add-on to the existing Wii system as opposed to a brand new system. This was a case of seriously overthinking it. Thank god Nintendo recovered though.

[@Thepurplepuncher]

Probably my favorite E3!

[@VCubeSolver]

Either this or 2012 is my fav

[@PokettoManStar]

[@yannatoko9898]

Great console in some ways, the Wii U, but Nintendo really should've had the console a little more prominently featured, instead of just going on about the "new controller", making it seem like an accessory. I was never confused about it being a console but watching this by itself, I can see how someone might think that.

[@Urmapleleaf]

Best press conference in the history of video game industry! These were the moments when Nintendo was still shining.

[@TheCycloneHunter]

I'd argue that Sony's conference in 2013 where they announced the Playstation 4 and completely buried Microsoft was the best. With how bad Nintendo explained the Wii U here, I would argue that this was one of their worst conferences

[@MalachCoolGamer2537]

@@TheCycloneHunter no it wasn't the best stop lying because Microsoft's Xbox One Was The Best Console system ever of everything that they do good on it about the console and gameplays and the Xbox One is Alive Working Console

[@coolioam8137]

This wasn’t one of their best at all lol. Also how are they not shining rn?

[@G360LIVE]

Going from memory, I would say that Sony's E3 2016 press conference was the best. However, I'm going to watch every press conference, starting with the 2005 press conferences (when the competition really started to heat up) through Microsoft's final E3 briefing in 2019 and see if I change my mind about that. I remember a great Kevin Butler moment in Sony's E3 2010 conference that could sway my opinion. But we'll see what happens. And yes, I agree that Nintendo would shine even brighter in front of a live audience. It's a real shame they dropped that in favor of the Directs.

Well said.

[@1996HerreraJohn]

Not to mention the trailer didn't do it justice. It wasn't a few days until after the trailer dropped I found out it was a new console. They barely even showed the actual console itself & seeing Zelda on the gamepad threw me off cause I thought accessory? Console? Upgrade to the Wii? Left me more confused than hyped

[@gamer39985]

Thumbs up if you actually watched the whole video

[@javierortiz82]

I remember that this same day, two hours later, Sony was all about pushing their active 3D technology in TVs, asking people to put silly glasses on an off. This is the day 3D TV died, when Nintendo showed that 3D without glasses was possible.

[@trshxgod8040]

They must be saving so much money doing the directs

[@G360LIVE]

They're literally saving millions of dollars, but the Direct videos aren't nearly as fun or lively. There's nothing like having a live audience during the presentations. I would watch every press conference, live, as it happened. With the Directs (or Microsoft or Sony videos), I just look at each of the game trailers as they show up separately in my feed. I don't watch the full videos.

[@KittenoftheBroccoli]

I remember watching this back when it aired and having my tiny 12-year-old mind blown by the WiiU concept trailer. Really unfortunate, being on the other side of that console's life cycle and knowing it was all more or less a flop. Save for Smash Bros, obviously...

[@1996HerreraJohn]

Yup, while I loved my Wii u & did it have a good amount of fun games. Towards the last year I used it back in 2018 before ultimate came out all I was playing on it was smash for Wii u, Mario kart 8, & some Mario party 2 with friends on the virtual console. Still so many good games, 3D world Mario, Splatoon, Nintendo-Land, Pikmin 3, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Maker, Captain Toad, Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8, Twilight Princess HD, Wind Waker HD, DK Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, etc .. there was a few other but those games stood out to me on the console. I wish the gamepad would of had more games like Nintendo Land the replay value for multiplayer was insane & extremely fun. Was great for parties & get togethers with 5 people playing was legit so much madness & fun.

[@kristianhristov3469]

He never mentions new console, but always new controller. Loool

[@PipeRetrogamer]

I also thought it was just a new controller for Wii. Since I don't have a Wii I just passed from it. It's not the console's fault. The marketing for it was just awful.

Dude, I am a core gamer and I want this controller, I mean, imagine running a rts on this, you select your units with the touch pad, and you select where they go, and then touch a button and select units to build by touching icons on the pad while your controlling forces on another part of the map, or an RPG, where you can select abilities, or even have an isometric view of the battlefield on the pad while you have standard view on the screen. No other console could do that.

[@SolidSonicTH]

The Wii U was the last console I felt was announced "properly": announced and revealed the year before its launch, demonstrating its tech and potential and then the following year you focus strictly on the games that will be out at launch, laying out exactly what consumers should expect in the launch window. These days (starting with the PS4 in 2013) the consoles are revealed in the same year that they release, meaning there's no build at all. It's just rushing to the finish line with no time to let people really know what they're buying into. I don't think the Xbox One even got revealed until E3 2013 (at least the PS4 was first revealed in February of that year). Even the Switch only had like, what, five months of build before it dropped in March of 2017?

[@ChronoXAsura]

1. No Xbox 360 game is Native 1080p 2. The Xbox 360/Kinect Bundle is $299 and only has 4GB storage. 3. What is the innovation from the Original Xbox controller to the 360's controller besides making it smaller. and turning the white/black buttons into shoulder bumpers, and adding the Guide button in the center. Any game on 360 could be played on an Xbox, it just wouldn't look as good. 4. Comes with an adapter for Plug N' Play like feature. 5. You already have a 360. Play games on a console.
