1.- Morgan Webb, co-host of gaming show “X-Play” believes that Nintendo will have a difficult job convincing people that the Wii U could be a better gaming experience than the iPad. Webb also went on to criticise the fact that Nintendo has decided to stick with the Wii brand for its next generation console.

Despite Nintendo planning to show of its next generation console, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes that E3 2012 will be one of the more boring E3′s. Speaking to MSNBC Pachter claims that the reason E3 2012 won’t be as gripping as previous years is due to the fact that development studios seem content in throwing out sequel after sequel, rather than producing original games.
Popular online retailer Amazon has listed Ubisoft’s long-delayed Rayman Origins 3D with a November 6th release date. Developer Ubisoft previously said that the game will be available in North America on June 5th, which is the same day as Nintendo’s E3 press conference. Perhaps this has something with the recently released demo, which didn’t sit too well with gamers.
Several editors from G4 gave their thoughts about what they think Nintendo’s E3 presentation will reveal. Although G4’s Morgan Webb believes Nintendo will have a hard time distinguishing the Wii U from Wii to the general public, it looks like a couple editors from the website don’t know the difference between the two consoles – and they are gaming journalists. Below are a few excerpts of what some G4 editors said about Nintendo and their new console – are you ready for their E3 coverage?
“The big Wii U push: price (over $250 is suicide), release date, launch titles, the whole deal.”
-Matt Keil
“The Wii U is Nintendo’s only hope, Obi Wan Kenobi. They will hopefully display some games that mainstream and hardcore gamers alike will enjoy, much to the disdain of their mothers. I really hope this is the year that Nintendo grows up and allows some more mature games into their library.”
-Becky Jutzi
“I want Nintendo to blow me away, but I don’t think they will. I have a bad feeling the Wii U will have nothing to convince me I need to own it as long as I own a Wii.”
-Nikole Zivalich
“I can’t wait for the painfully awkward demo of the new Mario Kartand/or Star Fox game that I’m also guessing will be announced.”
-Jake Gaskill
The majority of the developers stated that they were pleased with the easiness of developing for the unannounced consoles, while “63% of developers said the Wii U would be the most challenging platform to develop for.”
In the past, known developers have stated that the Wii U is very easy to develop for. We don’t know who the developers are and we don’t know exactly how many were approached by IGN, so let’s wait until E3 next week to find out the number of developers that are supporting the Wii U
Nintendo’s shares are currently at their lowest levels since 2003 when the Gamecube was the current Nintendo home console, and investors expect them to drop even lower. Mizuho Securities analyst Takeshi Koyama claims that the market has begun to accept the possibility that “the situation is going to get worse after this year’s E3.”
