We already know the 2013 titles, launch window officially goes at least until March. And of course, there will be delays. Just like on 3DS, with Luigis Mansion and Castlevania that were assured to hit this christmas, lol.
All of a sudden, the launch will not look so glorious anymore, while no one knows what's coming beyond with this idiotic strategy, that basically relies on launch buyers who must have enough faith in much later announcements.
Pikmin and Zombie U are cool. I'd normally be able to accept those two and move on, but E3 didn't leave me with much confidence for the console's future.
Not so excited about more Zelda, Smash or 3D Mario. We've seen them a thousand times already and they kick ass. They are just predictable. Also, Brawl was disappointing if you like playing a good fighters(regardless of whether or not it is "traditional").
Do you work for Nintendo? Are you trying to be snarky?
I wouldn't say I'm worried. I'm more bored than worried at this point. I just started PC gaming more now that I have a laptop capable of putting out visuals that rival or surpass current gen stuff and the HD consoles are still putting out great games. My Wii just sits there collecting dust since I rarely have any reason to turn it on due to it's closed online nature. Maybe dedicated game machines are just becoming boring to me...
No disagreements here. It'd only be worth it if their hidden stuff actually interests me. I don't want more Nintendo Land surprises.
The way you phrase this makes it sound like his cynicism is warranted even if it gets on your nerves. Is that the case?

Precisely. And ME3 comes with the DLC, so that will be EA's excuse. And when people are pissed and don't want to spend $60 for year old games, both will decide there is no core audience on the Wii U.
And this time you are getting Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, NSMB U, Warioware, Zombi U, P-100, Rayman Legends, Rabbids Land, Lego City and ports of four of the biggest winter 2012 multi platform games (AC3, BO 2, Fifa 13, Madden 13), along with older HD multi platform games people might have missed or not picked up yet like ME3, Batman AC, Ninja Gaiden 3 and Darksiders 2.
Then there are the casual / shovelware games like Wii Fit U, Just Dance 4, Sing and even more ports of current multi platform games like Sonic Racing 2 ect.
An unreal launch with the most diverse and varied line up of games i have ever seen.
It seems some people will never be happy and are just greedy...
If the console and it's launch games are not interesting to you then guess what ?, don't buy it and wait for games you do find interesting instead of continually bringing the mood down in here with your crying and apparent trolling.
you may need to be told to swing the tennis racket and not worry about the where the player is, or what buttons to push to get the bowling ball to work, but at the end of the day it's very simple conceptually: swing the racket, roll the ball, punch the guy.
the zelda nintendo land for example, it has you aim with the pad by moving it around, and then pull back on the arrow using the left analog stick, and let go to fire. you can tell someone a wii remote is a tennis racket and they'll understand instantly. you tell someone the wii pad is a bow and arrow and they'll give you a look like you're crazy.
RETRO's game and another large first party title will be shown at the September 13th conference, possibly an EAD Mario game in it's early form.
Where are we getting this from now?

I mean, at this point I care less about the games and more about hoping Nintendo blows the roof off the place because Spieler Eins' gimmick has gotten boring.

Whats that leak about a release date from capcom all about ~November 11th?

If true- awesome.
For the record, this was Xbox 360's North American launch lineup for 2005.
Netflix seems possible, HBO Go seems unlikely. Playing old Wii games on the pad also seems a bit far-fetched, given how many of them require the nunchuck controller, not to mention I doubt you'll be able to use the uPad with Wii games in general.

Here is the thing though:
Sony and Microsoft's third party support gets better as a console's life develops due to larger user base. Meanwhile if the past three generations are any indication, Nintendo's third party support gets WORSE as time goes on since devs reallize they can't really make a lot on their system and focus efforts elsewhere. It is very possible that the third party line up at the launch of the Wii U is as good as things will ever be on the third party front, especially when the next consoles are coming in a year or less.
Please don't do it. I'll be good.guys, serious stop it. post your surce or reggie will touch you.

source? or is it wishful thinking? we know it can happen, but without any confirmation its wishful thinking
Do you a have source? Or is this a guesstimate?
Why would you do this to yourself? again?
Haha, just a guess, sorry! Shows how desperate we all are for info when speculation is taken for fact-wait, we've been doing that since WUST1...
I'm thinking the inky way I can finance a Wii U is to trade in my wii and all of its first party gsmes that I kept. But I can't let go of my Metroid prime trilogy or Mario galaxies or Zelda's or DKCR. I could live without Xenoblade, a wii remote, NSMBWii, and maybe brawl. I'm on the fence with Pikmin 1 & 2. Or I could wait like a year and not have to trade in any games. Lol. I wish I wasn't broke.
Also, this conference is going to focus on the launch and launch window for Nintendo and will announce the price and release date with more details on MiiVerse, online, and the remaining NintendoLand mini-games. Nothing new will be shown. Don't get hyped guys.
I despise humanity and look down upon their intelligence on an apocalyptic level, and i still think the average human being will understand a couple button presses.
I can imagine at the end of the conference, Reggie is going "...and now let us show you something..." and then he goes "...just one more tour of Nintendoland!"
The meltdowns would be epic.
I see you're an optimist. ;-)
But yeah, I wouldn't count on being able to use the uPad for Wii games and/or play them on the small screen.

E3 all over again? No thank you. That was a disaster.
Honestly, whoever thought that was the best way to end it should have been fired.

We'll get back to John Dee and run around have to kill Francis Bacon. That would be fun." - Ubisoft's Gabrielle Shrager

Seems pretty cool. I'm just so glad it's set in UK. Will be brilliant. Still don't quite get how open the game is/how you'll progress.
According to Ubisoft, the game is semi-open world. I agree that it is nice for the game to take place somewhere we really don't see much in games these days.
So I canceled my Xbox Live Gold account several months ago because I mainly game on PC nowdays but I miss a few things, namely HBO Go.
I would actually be interested in the Wii U if:
1) It was a decent media server for streaming content like HBO Go and Netflix
2) You can play old Wii games on the pad while other watch TV.
Any news on either of these features?

"We've got one hour to present our stuff, which doesn't give us a lot of time..." -Reggie
*Waste 15-20 mins talking about Nintendo Land*
You'll be able to play Wii games on the pad, it has a sensor bar and they've demoed Wii fit working with it (i don't believe that was a new game)... No reason it can't work.
I hope there's Shaun of the Dead references in spades (well cricket bats)
