I think they didn't need to show anything at all... May it was this what they thought too? Let me explain myself: when Nintendo chose to part ways with the technological race and focus on brand new ways to play, everyone was afraid. Now everyone wants to join casual party.

This year, Nintendo's conference was "meh" indeed but they didn't need to amaze us with anything revolutionary anymore... I only hope that Layton games be announced and released later this year.

And Rhythm Heaven goes to America! YAY! The biggest surprise for me at least!

Yeah me too. I was watching their press conference yesterday and I was like "Those are some good games. Too bad I cant buy them because I need to buy Animal Crossing, Icarus, and Punch Out." Yeah well my big noisy console next to my Wii will get a lot of play time in the future.

But those games should be coming out, just only AC this year. Miyamoto keeps hinting "I'm not the producer so I can't tell you" or "Wii Motion+ would be perfect for Punch-out, but I'm not saying we're working on that".

Wii Music is a joke, overall this conference was a disappointment. I'm very excited for AC/WiiSpeak and the Wii Motion+ though, which were the only good things of the conference. And I keep hearing people say the Wii Motion+ is just a quick cash-in. For the people who say that, don't buy it! It's as simple as that. Who cares if some new awesome game in which you need to use it releases? Don't buy it still. It's just some useless peripheral that isn't needed and Nintendo is just selling it because they want more money.

Indeed.. those who also watched MS's conference saw MS spending half of the "show" talking about how the 360 is meant for everyone, and they're trying to make it more social, and for families and yada yada yada.. not to talk about the "avatars" and the new 360 dashboard that has a big influence of the Wii interface..

Nintendo just found a gold mine here taking video games to a broader audience, and both MS and Sony know that they could be the ones there getting that money.. and now they're trying to jump in that boat too.. and yet gamers continue to be naive saying that MS is "defending the hardcore gaming"..

I rather fuck something that is dead.Well something like that.

I was hoping some good shit for the PS3 so I can purchase a nice blu-ray DVD,but it sucked ad MGS4 and Little Big Planet don't cut it for me to buy it.
Also no price cut.I am not pulling my wallet out.

The 360 one was good,but not to exciting.

Nintendo fucked me up.I am glad I bought my Nintendo Wii for the Snes9x emulator,and for pirating N64&WiiWare titles.Also use it for some other emus and Homebrew.
All the good Wii games out their....I already beat.

Meh,I am gonna go play a Snes game on the Wii or something.

Overall it failed to satisfy many people,and it was....fail.

Meh...good thing we have Chrono Trigger DS coming in a while,and a few good DS games.

Even though they didn't introduce anything new for the DS.
DS for the win.

So yeah I am very disappointed at E3 this year.
Especially Nintendo.

Yeah I know but none except AC will come out this year.
 
GTA:CW was the only thing they announced that was even worth watching, and not even a teaser trailer for it either.... meh.

all in all, I would just say this. FAIL!

Animal Crossing is what I was waiting for, but if WiiSpeak doesn't come with the game, I'll be whipping up my own USB microphone, tyvm.

I'm expecting GTA to be another mediocre attempt at porting a game to a portable system, if not a total flop.
 
IGN has posted some hint from Miyamoto concerning Super Mario Galaxy 2, NSMB2 and Pikmin 3. And since I like Animal Crossing and Wii Music I guess I'm satisfied. Although I'd like to see more of "Mad World."

DS also had a great outting.
 
LAMEST CONFERENCE EVAH!

Really, Nintendo didnt even TRY. But we might still get a glipse of a new game. Just like what happened with Super Smash Bros Brawl, they showed it off on another day, and not at the conference..
 
I knew it was going to be shit the moment they opened their briefing with Shaun White Snowboarding... I mean what the fuck?

Animal Crossing? Never liked it, and it looks exactly the same as Cube/DS versions. There aren't even any motion control support! Wii Sports Resort? No just no,.. Frisbee throwing? Get real. And I couldn't care less about Wii Music.

And umm.... Um... Oh wait THAT was it.
 
It was pretty damn lame, although Animal Crossing might have saved it.

Penny Arcade pretty much hit the nail on the head with this one.

If wiispeak uses the wii console numbers, allowing me to talk to people as in skype, I'll be happy... Just as happy if nintendo releases:
-WII or NDS Metroid 2D (Taking the animation concept from the new wario, looks awesome!)
-Punch Out
-Kid Icarus
-F Zero
-Hard Drive
-DVD Movie Channel (I dont know if its possible, I think not)
-Wii Kirby
-MMORPG Pokemon (Me and some friends online against a legendary pokemon? Nice)
-NSMB2
-A public, free (as in beer) SDK (Microsoft has XNA for Xbox 360+Windows)
-More games with Wii-Ds connectivity (Final Fantasy? Zelda 4 swords?)

And lots of other things

it was bad, lets cut to the chase here, that conference was 1 hr, in that time what did they show us? an expanded port of animal crossing with speech, snowboarding *yawn* the new motion control add-on which should have been put in the god damn controller to start with, and some new info on games, i wasted 1 hr of my life waiting for somthing posative to come from it and all i got was a band using the wii remote to play the mario theme tune.....thanks nintendo, next time try a little harder !
