The End

I like writing but I'd like to practise my skills to the point where they can become valuable, so I'm going to do this privately in my own time. Making daily updates to Irish Nintendo Fan has been a good exercise and it's certainly something I can transfer to a future project.

When I began this blog there was no Nintendo Direct and there was no Miiverse. These two forms of direct communication, as well as the Treehouse features at E3, make me feel that doing something like a blog is obsolete. I think it's time to embrace this.

Thank you for reading!

E3 2014: Watch Dogs

Yawn.

E3 2014: Bayonetta 2

We've been waiting for this one for a while. No one really cares about Bayonetta except for those attracted to her but as someone who's played God Hand, Okami and Wonderful 101 before, I can see gameplay bits in there among the noise that look interesting. Hopefully it's more like God Hand and W101 because Okami was really boring.

Final Fantasy Explorers, a game that wasn't shown at E3 2014

Meanwhile, in Japan, this appered in a games magazine. It might be fun, but there is some stupid looking bloom lighting in the screenshots.

There's also Fantasy Life, which also has multi-player action and was shown during the Treehouse sessions.

E3 2014: Miyamoto's workshop projects

Project Giant Robot and Project Guard are cute tech demos/mini-games but they don't seem particularly interesting.

There's also a new Star Fox game being officially declared as existing. I have no idea who'd be interested in Star Fox though.

E3 2014 — Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

A new IP and it's about strategy and shit. Not really into strategy games so I'm not gonna be able to do this one justice due to lack of interest.

E3 2014: Xenoblade Chronicles X

God what a fucking stupid name. As if the word "Chronicles" wasn't bad enough. Anyway it's a good thing the Treehouse featured some lovely footage of the characters running across massive open plains because the trailer shown during the digital event was really horrible and didn't feature anything like that. Loved the running in the previous game and looking forward to more in this new one and checking out all the vantage points.
