Pokemon X and Y demo?
Very interesting.
Very interesting.
It's probably got a mid to late 2014 timeframe. So a long ways off yet. Gotta promote the games that are coming out sooner first.

Long ways off and not easy to demo, maybe.
It's not due out this year, and probably not in a state where they want to demo it yet

It's probably at an Alpha state that's not suitable to show for demonstrations.
In that sense, it's not practical to get Monolith Soft to scramble for a demo when Nintendo has Holiday 2013 / Spring 2014 to highlight.

It's definitely not coming out in 2013, so I gather they have not much to show atm.

They really have a killer Lineup for this year, can't wait to check out their booth (which was one of, if not the most comfortable one at Gamescom in the past... let alone it was by far the cleanest.

Wii Karaoke U, Wii Party U....sigh.
Where is Wii Sports 3, Nintendo? The second sequel to the franchise that essentially ressurected your console presence?
Give us a fully fleshed out sports experience, with Mii intergration and leaderboards.

Mario Kart 8 was always playable and it is glorious.

Since it hasn't been announced yet, I reckon they've been having development difficulties getting it to highlight the GamePad.
Not really the kind of stuff appealing for short demos in public games conventions, especially gamescom. Plus it's probably coming out in 2017 or something.
No SSB is a surprise tho.
Wii Party U seems pretty interesting from what they've shown so far.We shouldn't underestimate it.
This. I'm also thinking the same. I'm curious on how they are going to use the gamepad for Wii Sports U(or whatever name it is).
I'm also interested with SMT x FE. Looks like this game will be late 2014 which is good.

Because it is a show for the public. Nintendo is there to promote what the Wii U experience is like if you decided to walk out the site and but one.
All the publishers have kiosks with released games because it serves as a promotional tool.
Standard Nintendo practise to promote games recently released.
Dude this thing doesn't even have a name yet. It's nowhere near release or demo status.
Mario Party U? What? Where?

This new one is a whole different animal...
Because they're not made for that.
From what I've seen of Wii Party and Wii Party U, doesn't really seem built for online in a lot of modes
It's a real heavy local/in the same room type game.
Yeah, but isn't this one different...
Like free to buy, rent time, a ton more songs, built around the Nintendo brand with Miis and stuff

I think we could have announced this lineup a month ago.

I always thought that games such as Mario party and Wii sports can be best enjoyed playing local multiplayer with friends or family just for some lighthearted fun, whereas online multiplayer usually tends to be more competitive - hence Mario kart and Smash bros have online multiplayer.
Frankly I'd rather play Mario party with my 5yo nephew than with strangers online, so I see their reasoning.

Wait does nintendo have a stage conferencee, or is the next time they announce anything the next ND?
I really hope that 3d World stuff is not the E3 demo

Probably the latter. There is no conference afaik

Wii U Karaoke? nice!
I am not sure what the joke is cause Wii party was fun.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
So many surprises. How will I ever keep up?

I reckon they will hold off making new announcements until TGS, they'll most probably throw some ND just before or after then.
I'm sure it was lol
