Nintendo Not Having a press Conference at E3!?

Hi everyone, I decided that my first topic I would talk about would be Nintendo's decision to not have a press conference at E3 this year.

The News:

This news came last week when Nintendo came out and stated that they would not have a press conference at E3 and instead have 2 small conferences and showcase there games and content at there Nintendo both there. By the way if you don't know E3 is one of the largest gaming events of the year were major gaming companies come to show what they have planned for the year ahead. Nintendo's conferences would be 1 conference be private and for there investors and the 2nd conference would be open to the press. Nintendo said the reason for them not to have a press conference is because they wanted to focus on letting people try out there games and because they find there Nintendo Directs a more effective way to inform people on there products. For those of you who do not know, Nintendo Directs are small videos that Nintendo puts up showing or explaining new products, new games, or future content that they will have for there products. The videos are usually short not lasting more then 30 minutes and are often shown at random times.

Wii U

                                                        

My Opinion:

When I first heard about this news I was very shocked. At the moment, this choice to not have a press conference seemed like a huge mistake.After about a week of thinking about it, discussing about it with friends and talking to Gamestop employees about it I can come to the conclusion that I still think it is a mistake. I mean E3 is the biggest western gaming event of the year. All the big companies have huge press conferences talking about what they have in store for the year ahead. Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA, and Nintendo normally have big press showing off what they have in store for the next year of gaming. I think Nintendo not having this conference shows the lack of support they have for there own system. Clearly to me this shows that Nintendo just does not have anything to show at E3. It also shows that Nintendo is to scared to show the Wii U next to the new next gen consoles that Sony and Microsoft are bound to showcase at there press conferences. In fact when I asked the Gamestop employee why Nintendo would even think of not having a conference she said that Nintendo simply does not want people to compare the Wii U to the PS4 and Next Xbox. This kind of makes sense because no matter what Nintendo shows about the Wii U, the upcoming consoles will steal the spotlight. I still think Nintendo could have had a press conference,  even knowing they will be most likely overshadowed by the other consoles I think if Nintendo had a game to announce like a new Zelda or New original Mario game would have been very good for them. Heck, even showing the new Super smash bros for the Wii U which they said they would do last year would be big for them ( Last year at E3  Nintendo said that they would show Super Smash Bros at the next years E3 which would be this year). I think either Nintendo has no new games to showcase that are going to be released with in 2013 for the Wii U or they just have to much faith in there Nintendo Direct Videos. The problem I see with there Nintendo Direct videos is that it is only seen by a small amount of people. The only people that really watch Nintendo Directs are people that already have a Wii U, are huge Nintendo fans ( which huge Nintendo fans should have already purchased Wii U's, well because there huge Nintendo fans lol) or they are the press. On the other hand E3 is watched by a lot people not just Nintendo fans but fans of all different types of gaming. I know I for one don't ever watch Nintendo directs but do watch all the E3 press conferences. I just think that there are no negatives to having a press conference unless you have nothing to show and if Nintendo has nothing to show for the Wii U then they have a major problem ( when I mean something to show I mean new games like a new Zelda).

Why Nintendo do you not want to have a press conference?!

                             

Ok I think that's all I have to write. If you feel anything different and think Nintendo is

 smart for not having a press conference feel free to comment i want to here your opinions too!!!!

Hi Everyone, this is my first blog and first post so I though it would be nice to give you a little information about myself and why I actually made this blog.

My name is Tyler Barbour and I am 15 years old as of now. I am a Freshman in Highschool and love life. I have been playing video games all my life, starting at a very young age my parents got me into video games when they first purchased me both the PlayStation 1 and the Nintendo 64. I loved playing them but I didn't get really into games until I played the GameCube. I remember staying up late playing Luigi's Mansion and Super Smash bros Melee with my friends. I remember just finding the games to be so much fun to play. Zelda Wind Waker, Super Smash Bros Melee, Star Fox, Mario Kart Double Dash were some of the few the games I spent a lot of time playing. It was that system were I truly fell in love with playing games. I later moved on to playing the PS2 then to Xbox 360 and PS3 and Wii (Sorry never got to own the original Xbox!!). After spending a lot of time playing all different genres of  games I started to follow gaming news and was very interested in the gaming industry. I started to follow the things going on in the gaming industry on a daily basis like it was the news. I also started to right down my opinions on games and would talk about it with my friends and in class. I then thought why not express my opinion some place were everyone can see it and can discuss about it. I had no idea were I can do such a thing until one day I got a bright new idea, instead of writing my opinion down on paper why not publish them on a blog on the internet! Thus VideoGamesOpinions was born (By the way that is the name of this blog lol).

                                      So much fun for such a small box
This blog will simply be me expressing my opinion on recent gaming events and news. I will talk about all kinds of things like, actual video games, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, EA, Upcoming video games and other gaming related topics. I wont be bias in my topics, I own all current gen consoles and play all of them often. Im not going to be one of those kids saying how much I think the Xbox 360 is better then the PlayStation or saying how much better the PlayStation is to the Xbox. That is not me, and I don't believe hating on one system just because I like the other one is even smart, its just dum. Now I know your probably saying "Wow hes 15 years old and he wants to talk about  the gaming industry, he knows nothing. Why should I listen to him about games?!" I can not stress this enough these are my honest OPINIONS just OPINIONS. I know I am 15 and young and my not have played as much games or had as much experience as some older guys but I still play games a lot, I know a lot about games and im just here expressing my opinion. I hope to write about games and have fun and have discussions. If I wright about a topic and you don't agree please comment on it and express your opinion. I want to hear other peoples  ideas and opinions too. So I can possibly see other sides to the discussion. I hope to have fun writing about games and what is going on in the industry and I hope you can have fun reading my blog!

By the way my post on this blog will often every other day. Unless something big happens I will probably wright about it that day. Ill wright about consoles ( including next gen super excited!!) game news, gaming news  and things like that. Ill also talk about information about events like E3 and up coming games. Ill try my best to not talk about rumors sense there rumors and often not true but I may speculate or express an opinion on a common rumor. I'm also thinking about writing reviews about games sense there really just a players opinion on the game. Ok, lol that is all. I'm looking forward to writing and hope you enjoy and discuss with me!
This is also on my about Me page but i want this to also be my first post lol.
