weirder things have happened, sure, but making a remaster of a game from a series where all 6 games have been nintendo-exclusive ps4-only would be PRETTY weird.
Besides, it's one of THE couch co-op multiplayer games of that era. The Nintendo demographic is usually very receptive to those kind of games.
Since they only showed a splash screen then I doubt this holds much weight. Would not be surprised if Nintendo had a trailer for it.
An effload of stuff got shown.
the two don't need to be compared though lol...
No. There was a full trailer shown. The link just doesn't have it here. Anyway Square does what they want. Just like Atlus. Look at Secret of Mana PS4. So you can't be using them to compare things like "It'll come a year later, etc" They favor Sony.
With that said, doesn't look like they really did anything compared to FFX/FFXII/KH1/2. The game still looks like an aged GCN game. And it doesn't have the PlayStation exclusivity attached like those other games so not sure why it wouldn't be on everything under the planet. Including Xbox since it was a Nintendo thing from the beginning.

Crystal Chronicles remaster PS4 exclusive while Final Fantasy 7 remake now Switch exclusive. Its the obvious play here from Square. Totally what I'm expecting
i feel like if it was the game's debut, they would make a bigger deal out of it. the announcement makes it seem like the bigger deal was supposed to be made earlier. guess we'll see in a few days if it was supposed to be in the direct or not.
it's a Gamecube-looking game tho, how big of a deal can you make that out on a stage show
Good job on Nintendo for completely letting the air out and any excitement dissipate from any possible announcements/reveals.
I mean, of course I'm not saying they shouldn't have delayed it for a few days, but clearly nobody at TGS had any qualms about it, and they still haven't even confirmed a new date.

It's not like Sony or MS or Nintendo only reveal exclusive games in their conferences. There have been thousand of times where they just show a game announced in other conference.
They had the reveal today because of what happened, but maybe they didn't have it until the delay.
lol, they're gonna show a smash trailer and the entire internet will only talk about that for a week, they don't need TGS for that
It's much harder to reschedule a show in a physical location that people would have booked travel and things for than an online video.
Making Nintendo out to be the bad guys because you get your videogame announcements later, lol.
Lol what? Everyone is excited about this Direct. Relax and be a little patient.
Then Nintendo show a new Smash character and the Internet will explode... Don't worry too much. We will get to it. Though I agree they need to give us the date as soon as possible, for sanity sake.
What is the problem of announcements being made outside of the Direct?
Do people actually care more about the "hype" than the games? It's confusing, we are still gonna get the same games.

You'll get a skull kid announcement or banana red Kirby or whatever and the internet will explode.

at the end of the day, the delay will be completely inconsequential. it matters for a few days on internet maybe, but the important thing [relating to nintendo and video games, not real life matters] is what games are being made for switch, and their success doesn't hinge on them being announced in a direct, it's on their quality and the marketing they get before release.
I think some genuinely care more about hype than the games themselves.
Of course. E3 2015 is "year of dreams" to many people for this reason. Not to me anyway.
Exactly! It's so strange... that and Direct speculation isn't meant to be some sort of intellectual exercise, it's supposed to be fun. No need to get all pissy about it. Let loose.
We don't even know if these games are in the Direct. If some of these games are in fact part of the Direct they will only represent a small part (3-5 minutes)
I wouldn't say people care more about hype, but at the same time it is fun to anticipate and look forward to live real-time reveals of upcoming games.
It is more fun to find about about a new game by watching a live trailer together with thousands of fans than by just randomly logging on to era and seeing a thread title.
Of course hype matters. That's the entire point of E3 and why most publishers try to cram as many reveals in as possible. The "e3 of dreams" would not have the same effect if those three announcements would've been staggered throughout the year. It's important for building narratives.
Why do you think companies get exclusive stage demos at E3? Because it helps their brand image. I am obviously not talking about how I personally feel about these games.
i'm glad for you, i'll probably pick it up but i'm not familiar with those spin-offs at all
Watch none of these games be mentioned in the direct bar Yoshi and Civ VI while still being 35 min
Well now we're going to have lots of idiots, during the Direct saying
"Why are they still including this? We know it exists. Wasting time that could be aired for actual announcements." etc.
At this point we are just watching the direct to see old trailers from third parties and new updates on already announced first party games
