Bergsala PR manager Patrik Johansson explained why Nintendo will not be making an appearance during this week’s Gamescom in Germany. Johansson says that while Gamescom is a fantastic event, Nintendo is not attending because it’s planning several sampling events in which consumers will be able to participate and play upcoming games.
“Whilst Gamescom is a fantastic show. Nintendo has taken the decision not to attend this year’s event. Instead Nintendo is planning a number of sampling events later this year inline with the European Marketing-, PR- and Event-activities in which Nintendo´s fans will have the opportunity to play upcoming games. Further details will be announced soon.”
They should still go
lol u right but u know nintendo its a secret to everybody
nice one.
duh that’s news
Nintendo is still not ready -.-
Reggie Body wasn’t ready
his body is never ready he be holding out
He’s gathering Body Energy like Goku’s Spirit Bomb
lol^
Nintendo will reveal the secrets of the Wii U on their own terms, when they’re ready. And not a moment sooner. They’re really playing it close to the vest with this one. Leave luck to heaven.
Hardly any secrets to a console 6 years late with graphics hardlt any better than current consoles.
lol ur funny
At it’s MINIMUM performance, who knows what Maximum wii brin”?
Not much better, maximum could barely be a significant difference.
Do you understand the basic principals of math?
He probably hasnt learnt it in school yet.
i don’t even know if he goes to school to begin with.
wiiu minimum graphics= ps3
wiiu maximum graphics=THE END OF THE WORLD
I’ve got two words for ya…
NINTENDO
DIRECT
i been telling people this for weeks.
thru a upcoming event by that they mean nintendo direct lol
so gamers can see how shitty sony really is.
nintendo really needs to join the fun oh wait that event wasn’t even all that sony is a joke
If anything, gamescon should be at nintendo :p
Hope they’re at Eurogamer Expo later.
Sony’s conference would’ve wrecked anything they had to show anyway.
Again.
Wrong way round.
Right way around* and the majority of Gaf agrees.
Unless you want to tell me what Nintendo could have shown that could’ve bested Sony’s performance. Wii Fit U? More Mario? No? Okay.
so what did sony talk bout cross play and playstaion not allstars munbo jumbo
So you confirmed you didn’t watch anything if that’s all you can mention. Thanks.
yeah right u must be one of the ones watin on last guarding and other delayed games they just need a phoenix down that’s it
Try typing that in English.
The majority of GAF are currently too busy pissing themselves laughing at how awful COD Vita looks to care.
I agree, that actually does look shitty. Of all developers they chose Nihilistic? Same awful looking engine and from is seen so far, doesn’t even look like 60 fps. Cancel that disaster, KZM looks far better.
what is seen*
Sir take it easy why fight over old tech, console are for poeple that cant afford anything else like you. Im happy with my Gaming Rig (PC) its all about what you like if you like PS3 thats your problem dont make it everybody elses problem it makes you sound and look stupid. Talk about being a caveman, Where in the Modern age and if you try to fight about how bad PC is then you most be the stupidest person on Earth.
Sony are probably only there to show the PS3 super slim
Except they didn’t show it during their conference. Herpa derp.
Well thats pretty sad. What did they show then?
cross play and playstaion not allstars lol
Gee, Nintendo must be crapping themselves. Seriously, i like Sony, ive owned every home console playstation, but i dont get how theyre gona last. Both Nintendo AND Microsoft skip Gamescon and they dont bother to try anything?
I like how you listen to an obvious Nintentard who didn’t watch anything, I listed most of what was shown below.
don’t listen to whoever that dyke is all in all there was nothing shown to get naked about fuking dyke she’s probably one those nintendo is doom haters fuking dyke
Lol, sit the fuck down you 10 year old pussy.
aeolus what did we talk about -_- stop and go to a playstation site if u hate NINTENDO so much Y THE HELL ARE U HERE U IDIOT THIS PROVES U LIKE NINTENDO BECAUSE U ARE HERE DUMMASS IF U HATE NINTENDO LEAVE
…Did you even try to watch a recap of the conference?
In a nutshell, they detailed the anticipated Vita releases. ACII, CoD: BO, LBP Vita.
Explained “Cross buy” which gets you a free Vita version of select titles compatible with it for PS3, Sly 4, Ratchet and Clank, PASBR.
PS Classics coming August 28th.
Announced Killzone Mercenary for Vita.
Tearaway – a New IP from Media Molecule for the Vita
Cross-controller play.
New IPs for PS3 like Rain, Puppeteer, Until Dawn.
More Wonderbook stuff, but actually some interesting content shown despite being obviously for kids.
God of War Ascension
The Last of Us
Some other things I missed, but you can probably find a recording online.
cross buy sounds great
It is, that’s an amazing bargain. It already happens now with Sound Shapes.
Nintendo should take notes and do that for the upcoming SSB games.
Meh, cross buy just proves how pointless the Vita is. Its supposed to be a unigue system yet it has the same games as the ps3, buy you have to spend another $250. Also, i dont get how Sony is going to afford doing the cross play feature, theyve already lost alot of money, and theyre basically giving out Vita software. Looking forward to a new Ratchet and Clank though, will check out Rain ect.
You’re very, very, delusional if you firmly think that’s the objective with your first sentence. Actually stupid, because I bet you think Wii U is more of a better concept.
And you don’t get how they’ll afford it? Uhm, the copies are obviously digitally focused, which doesn’t cost much of a thing to distribute rather than retail titles.
I guess I shouldn’t have expected any amount of intelligence out of you.
Let me add to this, so is the 3DS a unique system when at around the same time it just had ports or reskins of old titles? In fact the 3DS actually has a hell of a lot more ports than the Vita does, but that’s a different story. Is Nintendo any better with Smash Bros on both Wii U AND 3DS? Along with “multiplatform” Wii and 3DS titles which basically winds up with a watered down version on the latter?
This is why your argument is terrible, and incredibly hypocritical. There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with sharing games across two platforms in the same family. If you guys like Nintendo for doing it, so can Sony do it. The latter of which now seems to be making it cheaper by giving you a free copy with save transferring.
haha you are such a troll! i thought you were fair in hating things but obviously you are just a sony fanboy
They actually showed some pretty decent titles. I didnt watch myself (unfortunately) but there was PS All Stars, Last of US, <3 Killzone Mercenary <3, LBP, AC III liberations and so much more! The only downside was CoD for VITA.
do we really need the same games on ps3 and vita i see what ur trying to do sony but dame oh by the way what are they trying to do wit vita just asking homies
Im happy with nintendo’s switch to nintendo direct as opposed to venues. Direct from nintendo, no confusion, less speculating, and hopefully directly to our gaming consoles. It’ll also make nintendo accountable for those of you with a “glass half empty” perspective.
If I recall correctly, the last Nintendo direct was available for viewing on the Nintendo Channel and the eShop, so they’re already doing a great job communicating news directly to system owners.
I do have to say getting word straight from Nintendo isn’t always clear, as was proven by last year’s E3 conference. Sure we ultimately solved the problem of people thinking it was a controller for Wii, but it was still on them that the confusion was created in the first place.
yeah nintendo direct is awsome make sure u bring your earplugs or ur fucked
Arent WiiU demos still there with people like Ubisoft ect? And lets face it, they’ve probabl got plans for September, during TGS, so they’ll hold out due to NDA
They are, so it will be yet another venue to try the system at. Nintendo’s definitely got something up their sleeve for the first half of September, if not earlier.
nintendo direct?
that’s what i said to just bring your earplugs or ur fucked
This isn’t an article about why Nintendo isn’t going to Gamescom. This is an article about what Nintendo is doing in lieu of going to Gamescom.
me wonder what is the wii u release date?
it’s a secret to everybody
shhhh!!!
LOL
Nintendo’s secrecy is starting to annoy me, even though its a semi-smart business move, I just wish they’d tell us more about wii u already. I’m tired of waiting in between nintendo directs.
but u haft to remember it’s a secret to everybody
because there that awesome they don’t have to tell us anything because there NINTENDO
http://www.facebook.com/BringOracleOfAgesAndSeasonsToTheEshop
i will have to sell many kebabs to afford dah wii u.
u might haft to if u plan on buying more then two gamepads it will be vita the all over again
yes i made the vita error
Why would you buy more than two game pads?
oh that’s right u can’t use two my bad
Sorry, but that’s the most stupid explantation ever. Gamescom is the biggest gaming convention. They have the biggest exhibition area and they break records after records when it comes to the number of visitors. And now they are seriously telling us that Nintendo decided not to attend because they’re planning something else? Sorry, but Gamescom was the very best chance that was offered for Nintendo to bring whole Europe close to the WiiU. This was such a bad decision of Nintendo. But honestly, that’s nothing new lately. Nintendo is doing a lot of disappointing decisions recently. I really hope that they will soon turn back into the company I truly love.
They won’t, not until Iwata is gone. Which doesn’t seem to be anytime soon.
and who cares about europe ps and vita dickheads u funny lads
Nintendo should care, since Europe is the place where the biggest fanbase of Nintendo lives. After Japan, that is.
you also dont know what nintendo has plan.. if anything..
I don’t need to know what they’re planning to be able to tell that the decision not to attend Gamescom was one of the worst decisions they could ever make. Especially when they have a whole new system coming up.
they did that last year as well, they got nintendo direct.
Get your facts right, Nintendo was at Gamescom last year.
And I don’t really see why Nintendo Direct is relevant in any way to this topic. Nintendo Direct is not even slightly as known as Gamescom is here in Europe, therefore it’s not watched as much as the Gamescom is visited, not even a bit. Hundreds of publishers, companies, journalists, video-game based website owners/admins and much more go there and attend all the conferences. I don’t think that it will leave a very nice impression on everyone when Nintendo isn’t even attending the world’s largest gaming convention.
Oh, and please don’t be surprised afterwards when Nintendo doesn’t get as many 3rd party titles as they need, because things like this are exactly the reasons why Nintendo’s systems may not get the 3rd party support they would need.
nintendo is the reason i go to gamescom D: not fair T^T
it’s not fair but u haft to remember it’s a secret to everybody
Bergsala is the company that imports games into Norway, in case anyone was wondering :P
okay lol
oh!
guys NINTENDO is smart we all know that and now everyone just trust NINTENDO because they have never let us down and i don’t think there going to let us down now right
AND DON’T U ********** SAY THEY LET US DOWN WITH THE WII BECAUSE THE WII WAS FUN AND HAD AWESOME GAMEPLAY SO DON’T EVEN TRY THAT *******
i back u up on that it’s a system that i still play even tho it took forever to get the next zelda
