What the hell Nintendo? Sure you need some games to talk about in the Nintendo Wii U games bonus conference 2.0 but this is looking like they could have had one conference where I left wanting more rather than 5 where the end of the second I'm left in despair and apathy.

Even though there was no Retro bomb, and the ending was a bit weak, I'm still impressed. Probably not day 1, though, but I'll get a Wii U
And for everyone that's raging:

As someone who enjoys Wii Sports, Resort, Wii Party, and the Mario Party franchise, while I can't say I'm excited to play NintendoLand, I think the game looks really fun. Wouldn't get me to buy the console, but it seems like it'd be a no-brainer for social gatherings in the same way as the Wii's best multiplayer games.
I do think Nintendo put too much of it into the conference, and I think it's silly to consider it a "big game" (even though the Wii ___ franchise is big for Nintendo), but as a Wii gamer I just saw another fun social experience. No reason to shit on it.

Why were people expecting Zelda? They only just released Skyward Sword 7 months ago, give them a chance.

Microsoft had two hours and one was crap. Nintendo had one hour and two thirds were crap.

Last time they made a new one, we ended up with Steel Diver.
Going by general GAF impressions, it was a spiteful slap in the face to gamers. So maybe it's for the best that they didn't make another new series for the WiiU's launch.

Here is the thing about Nintendo.
Nintendo "Here is the new Luigi's Mansion multiplayer game"
You "Hey, that looks kinda cool, like making Pac Man multiplayer, and it has more tactics than I expected"
Nintendo "THAT WILL BE $50, BITCH"
You "WTF IT LOOKS LIKE A $10 DD GAME"
Nintendo "YOU HAVE TO BUY A WII U FOR THIS SHIT TOO! BUAHAHAHAHA!"
Then you become a PC gamer and live happily ever after.

I'm so sick and tired of year and and year out seeing the hardcore gamer constantly being left behind. Gaming is mainstream, and it seems like the 3 big publishers forgot who brought them to the dance.
Nintendo has been working on the WiiU for a while obviously. There is no reason, whatsoever, as to why there wasn't a slew of games being shown. Which tells me, its the Wii all over again.

It actually looks okay. It's sad that the game is going to be the target of disillusioned Nintendo fans.The new game Nintendo didn't show, Project P-100

Yeah, they learned how to perfect its mediocrity.
And the ironic thing is, the 3DS had a great reveal. Wii U's blown it twice.
What I dont understand is why they dont at least acknowledge the vast expectations they must have known everyone has. They should at least say something like While we know you were hoping to see new Zelda, new Mario Galaxy, new Mario Kart, new Metroid, new Smash Bros, etc., unfortunately we are not ready to show them yet. But they are all in production, and they will all be AWESOME. They should have at least given us 3 second clips in the sizzle reel ffs.
To just ignore the giant pink elephant in the room is a huge blunder on their part. Close with ANOTHER look at Nintendoland, a game they had already talked about earlier? Wtf were they thinking. I had the stream going on in the background at work and I have no clue wtf it is nor do I really have any interest. Looked like obvious toddler/grandma fodder. And toddlers and grandmas dont give a shit about E3.
Even more baffling is that this was after Iwata (I think) recently said something along the lines of we learned from our mistakes by waiting too long to release our blockbuster franchise games on new systems.
Really just shocked at how poorly they handled this. While I loved Pikmin, it is not a system seller. It wasnt for Gamecube and wont be for Wii U.

Outstanding.
The presser succeeded in getting me interested in the 3DS. I found the the titles on 3DS much more exciting than anything on WiiU. Since Sony neglected the Vita, 3DS is now at the top of my handheld list.
Of the WiiU titles shown, I only found the Lego game remotely interesting. I'd rather play a 2d Mario on the 3DS.

And yet no release date or price was announced.
Did they blow it really? If Nintendo Land is their next Wii Sports, I'd say they're laughing all the way to the bank again.

I'm sorry, but for hardcore gamers; this was the worst console reveal of all-time.
I fear for Nintendo on the home console front.

exaggerated backlash here is astounding.
Just astounding.
It was a meh conference. They blew it.
So that means Wii U will never have any games besides Pikmen 3, NSMB U, and Wii Fit U... EVAR.
Pack it up, Nintendo has stopped developing games!
All that really happened here is they chose the wrong things to emphasize in order to win over a hardcore audience that was - judging by these reactions - primed and ready to rip them apart if said audience didn't have pure rainbows injected into their veins.
By the standards of overwrought reactions we are getting, Halo 4 and Xbox 720 are clearly canceled because of how bad the MS press conference was.

Execution of the conf. was the one way I felt they could mess up. Nintendo accomplished that.

Without being the extreme gamer, I say this conference was interesting, but by no means groundbreaking like last year.
Haha, that's great.

in 2014?
This is about what system launch titles will look like. We're not satisfied at all with what we saw today. I didn't see a damn thing that said, "yes, I need to spend $300 + $60 to play this game."
Did you?
That's the problem. By the time those games come out, a price drop will have come.
These types of posts make me wonder if I'm living in another dimension.
I'm not one for gussying up gifs so just imagine Hibbert as Reggie, the frame as a WiiU pad, and mutant Bart as you and I.
This. People buy consoles as long term investments as much as they do for games right now. Nintendo needs to show that they're not going to be Dreamcasted. Before today, I was very confident Nintendo would avoid such a fate. Today, I did not see a single new Activision or EA game releasing for the Wii U.

Here was a conference put on by a Nintendo totally different than of six years ago.
This was a Nintendo that is truly terrified of it's shareholders. And to appease the angry shareholder gods they gave us their safest bets: Wii Fit, Mario, and success-proven third party titles.

Terrible. Nintendo had a golden opportunity to not only blow all of the other conferences out of the water but also a chance to beat their 2006 showing as the best E3 conference of all-time - and they blew it. Unbelievable.
Where's the support from EA..? Activision..? Capcom..? Square Enix..?
Christ on a bike, even the Wii had a more impressive line up and third parties didn't take Wii development seriously for 2 years after launch!!!
Looks like Ubisoft, Sega, Warner Bros. and THQ are the only publishers showing any effort.
No news of the Retro or Monolith Soft projects either. Very disappointed. When will this company ever fucking learn. That was an Epic Fail of the highest order.

I don't buy this. It certainly seems that way based on what they announced, but not by who they invited. Literally tons of enthusiast press in the audience (IE, the guys/gals that wan't TLG, TLU, Zelda, SSB, Halo, etc.). Sony even invited hundreds of fans to the event. Why invite this audience if you honestly aren't trying to appeal to them.
