Nintendo E3 2016 Stream

[Reindeer]

The stream can be followed on Twitch here and YouTube here.

I can't find an exact length of the livestream. Some sources say 6 hours, others just 1, others the entire day. There will be another stream tomorrow.

First full-length trailer of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:

 

[NerdHouse]

So far they've only shown Zelda and Pokemon, right?

Im positive that's all they'll show for today, tomorrow will be bigger.

 

[Cudon]

Yeah and they prob won't show any more of Pokemon today. They keep coming up with things to show from the new Zelda game and it's honestly getting really boring now. I love seeing footage from the game but they're really not showing anything new right now. They were showing off weapons and just killing mobs for an hour or so and that's cool and all but it's not anything new. Everyone can guess that the axe is slower than the spear after seeing them in the game the first time.

 

[Reindeer]

I'm not blown away by Breath of the Wild. The game looks really pretty and I like that they're expanding on the RPG aspect, but there's nothing that gets me excited. After an information vacuum that lasted 2-3 years, they're just talking about mechanics that aren't new game concepts and walking around in a relatively small area of the entire map. It's honestly quite boring.

BUT REINDEER YOU CAN CHOP TREES AND MAKE THEM INTO BRIDGES. SO NEW AND WASNT TOTALLY MENTIONED DURING THE FIRST 30MIN OF FOOTAGE.

They might not be new for games in general, but they are new for Zelda.

The Runes looks awesome.
Hunting/Gathering/Cooking (and I assume crafting later) are all new.
The different weapons with different stats is new (we saw a Traveler's Bow and another Traveler's Bow with Power+3 on it).

My biggest question is where on the timeline does this game take place?

The stream has shown Chuchus and Koroks so I assume the Windwaker timeline. The game also starts you off at a resurrection area so maybe at a point in time when there was no Link and the world needed one? The world is also rather overgrown and you find a sword in stone that is entirely rusted away with the description saying that great heroes used to wield it. I wouldn't be surprised if the plot was somehow related to timetravel and changing the past too.

And yeah those are all new things for Zelda, but they're also things that you can easily understand from being shown it once, yet the streams take hours to present one or two things. You can understand very easily that there are diff weapons with diff stats from being shown a few different weapons, same with cooking and hunting, yet these streams are basically hammering these points to the point it's really boring.

Second stream can be seen here:

The stream will have information about Pokemon GO, Monster Hunter Generations, Rhythm Heaven Megamix, and a bunch of action/adventure/RPG games.

I think Ever Oasis looks adorable and fun. It is just exciting to have a new IP too. I will definitely be getting it!

 

[oath2order]

Mario Party Star Rush main mode: Everybody is toad.

Everybody.

 

[Cudon]

One of these days there will be a rpg where all the characters are cats. I'm waiting Nintendo.

Kinda disappointed about Ever Oasis, looked boring and bland as hell. The cutesy artstyle and the chibi nonsense made it especially bland, tired of that artstyle. The penguin npcs were cute as hell though.

 

[Reindeer]

The wait is over.
WAHluigi amiibo confirmed.

 

[Marc Franks]

So exciting.

 

[LambdaDelta]

literally the only new thing for today I care about is Rhythm Heaven

and I don't feel like I need to actually see anything for it

 

[ForgottenT]

The Nintendo stream were really underwhelming, Zelda was cool and all, but I don't really see what it's about, and the pokemon part felt like they tried to show as little information as possible over as long a period as possible, wasn't really enjoyable, but the info we got was exciting nonetheless.

I feel like an hour would have been more than enough for the amount of Zelda information they gave yesterday, but instead it was stretched out over 6-7 hours. It got really boring.

This second stream is a lot better. They're still taking it a bit slow but at least there's a new game being shown every half hour to an hour.

Also, Dragon Quest VII is coming up now so I'm hoping we get a release date for it.

 

[Aria Nook Violet]

Wooo! Dragon quest! I love the series! I hope it gets to Europe soon

Nintendo should just stop making home consoles and stick to handheld gaming. They've been nothing but disappointing for the past 5 or so years.
