You're an idiot.
I didn't see anything there to make me want a WiiU, at least as a gamer that isn't in love with Nintendo franchises. Just more entries in old franchises that do nothing for me.

I don't think that continuing two well-respected series from older consoles of Nintendo yore constitutes "milking" -- at least anymore so than Nintendo has been up to since the N64.
Wow, this was probably the worst of the full Nintendo Directs.
Huge focus on eShops and DLC, port as the big announcement, promised third party support was mostly all ports or already known. Plus more Mario spinoffs. Give it a break... I mean I like them and I'll probably play them, but it's getting excessive. I thought it would be less rampant once the 3DS was established, but no. It's always Mario or a spin off. 3D Land, Paper, Tennis, NSMB2, Luigi's Mansion, now Golf and M&L.
Props to Luigi's Mansion multiplayer, Animal Crossing release date, and the new Mario and Luigi though. Not a great ND for my tastes, but a few things I enjoyed.

Any new color XL for US? And lol at EU having a XL FE bundle, that's amazing ( exactly what I wanted here)
At this point the remaining diehard Nintendo fans left have come to accept a lifetime of endless Mario whoring; Nintendo has no true shame in this regard.
not to defend Nintendo or anything for the embarrassing wasteland of Wii U support, but didn't they just have a Nintendo Direct a few weeks ago wherein they revealed a deluge of Wii U titles coming in the pipeline? (it's just, unfortunately for them, not soon enough; but we all knew that couldn't change in a few weeks, right?)
They've literally covered the entire span of time from now until E3 (two days after Animal Crossing comes out.)
No new colours at all? EU gets black and white and FE special edition (nice)

Another fine Nintendo Direct. Really gave the sense that the 3DS is about to start firing on all cylinders (well, at least in terms of first party support).
Guess I'm buying Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and MH3: U. Nothing new was announced that appeals to me.
But do you know what would be nice? The Animal Crossing 3DS XL to play these games on. I swear I'll be so pissed if NoA doesn't bring it over. NoE even has more bundles and colors for fucks sake.

Yep, wait. This version won't have waggle functions therefore is the best one yet. Oh, you're going to have so much fun.

Mario been getting spinned off forever. Go look at nes sports titles lol
For the people that never play them and only use them to wine about them online, of course they are!
I know man, I was on the edge of my seat half expecting a Majora's Mask 3D announcement.

Didn't watch the conference. Any American 3DS XL deals announced?
Fun Fact: All the Mario games shown were different genres.
No Bravery or DQVII announcement
Supremely disappointed. They're doing so well in the East, how could they not even mention them?
Because Nintendo doesn't own Square Enix ?
People asking for BD and/or DQVII should ask SE, not Nintendo.

But really, if Wii U is anything close to this it would be awesome.

Mario and Luigi is awesome though! Even if I hated core Mario I'd still be hyped for that one.
Mario Golf, eh whatever. The last Tennis game didn't sound too hot so I'm cautious.

Looks like Wii U is at least getting some releases in March, both retail and eShop. Need for Speed, Lego City and Monster Hunter plus Toki Tori? Ow, my wallet.
3DS is hitting heavy too. With all these games plus more reveals at E3, I have to think Nintendoomed is bit overwrought. They should have a solid 2013.

True.
I like Mario Golf and the rpg series a lot but its expected.
Was hoping for more fresh and new content.
Nice to see a bunch of good stuff for the 3DS.
I'm not sure why anyone expected WiiU announcements.
The fact that the European and Japanese Nintendo Direct previews mentioned it was 3DS only should have been a clear sign that the US one would have little of note in that regard.

Nothing unexpected for Wii U. But I mean, what do people expect. I don't think Wii U will get amazing 3rd Party, but my guess is they are waiting for Nintendo to build a healthy userbase. Nothing that has not happened before with a new system. Give it time people!!
Amazing 3DS Direct, I have to steal my 6yold 3DS now.

New games in franchises we enjoy. What terrible news.

I kinda feel bad for people who gave up on handheld gaming and "moved on" to iOS/Android only gaming.
Also It is sad that in the west making games for handhelds is some sort of taboo

I mean I'm excited for Mario & Luigi 3DS too, and some other Mario games here and there. It's just I'm a consumer whore, is all, but I'd anticipate them while at the same time expressing my disdain for their endless lack of creativity and boldness when it comes to creating new IPs and genuine new worlds and characters.

Yes. It only makes sense. Mario Golf is the same as Luigi's Mansion is the same as...
Unless you have a hatred of his face or style, then it shouldn't matter that much. They need games and games like this to sell.
That NSMBU DLC looks great. Will buy. Probably NFS and MH. Nice effort. Good jerb.
But don't they? Dillions and a few other games? Yes they milk their series but are you suggesting the majority of their games should be new IP? 30%? The majority of the industry disagrees.
