The Nintendo conference opened with the biggest news — the reveal of Pikmin 3. It looked… a lot like Pikmin, but features — as you’d expect — a whole host of new features built around the new Wii U Gamepad. The biggest surprise for me was the fact that the default controller for the game is the Wii Remote and Nunchuck.
Miyamoto revealed the game onstage, and started by speaking English, and acting all goofy. Oh Shiggy, I wish you were my dad.
There were surprisingly few games revealed during the conference. Very few. But a number of third party games were announced — we were sort of shocked to see that Mass Effect 3 was among them.
And finally, this is what the black Wii U looks like. It looks like a black Wii U. Who knew?
But it wasn’t all about the Wii U last night. We got our first look at Halo 4’s multiplayer, got even more disappointed by Elder Scrolls Online, and got a glimpse of how much Final Fantasy XIV has changed.
Oh, and I almost forgot. No Majora’s Mask HD. That game was a terrible, yet gorgeous lie.
