No, it isn't.
If all you play on a Nintendo system are Mario games and spin-offs, I feel sorry for you.
I apologize. There were a few new announcements, but are they really that mind blowing?
All which were known to either be in development or obvious. New MandL RPG, while awesome, was obvious. So soon? Maybe not. New Mario Golf, awesome. Loved the Camelot ones. DKR3D? I guess. That's not really exciting to me. Solid, but not exciting.
Is that it? I mean for new announcements. The only surprise was Mario Golf, the good ones, coming back. And that's cool. But people spouting its the best ever? Meh. These are all old franchises with twists or old franchises being revisited. I love, love, love Mario Golf, but that's not enough to get me excited.
If there's anything truly mindblowing that I missed, please correct me. I'm not being an ass, I'm on my phone so I may have missed something huge.

Definitely not mediocre. You work at gamespot or something?
There is an argument for not using a new franchise yet it's hard to have that argument in this climate. Almost every major publisher agrees: use your franchises over and over as people are familiar and will more likely buy. I heard good things about Dillion but I'm not interested enough to focus on it, as it's unknown. I'm just less likely to buy when it doesn't have Mario in it. Great franchises bring you back. Just this week, we saw a game hyped up for awhile that seems like a disaster (aliens). Whereas, people are genuinely upset about Rocksteady not being apart of the new Batman.
I guess the argument against milking is the lack of creativity. Yet, that is rampant in this industry. I'll probably buy Need For Speed because I had a good time the last time I played it (1998). And I may pick up Monster Hunter because it has had good reviews over 3-4 games.

Sorry, but I'm not buying most of these "summer" release dates.
That zombiu bundle for more than $350 made me lol. System not selling? Of course you raise the price!
The cross-compatibility for Monster Hunter is just that people from 3ds and wiiu can play together, NOT that you can take a save from one to the other like vita/ps3 crossplay, right?

Yeah, not necessarily a release date, but SOMETHING. If Nintendo can manage to release Pokemon X and Y worldwide this October, then Square can at least manage to translate ONE of their big RPGs for the 3DS a year after its Japan release. Hell, we're getting 3 Atlus games this year, how can SE not manage this?
Why the hell would you care what games people buy their consoles for?

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
It seems some of you don't remember how bad the first 6 months for the 3DS was when it comes to software. That draught was argurably worse then the current one we are experiencing with WiiU. We are finishing up year two for the 3DS, of course the first party support is going to be booming.
Totally... and shiny, just like the regular 3DS one.

It mentioned that you could move data from the 3DS to the Wii U.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
No thread for Rolling Western? 
Better to have different games from the same franchise than different "franchises" playing the same thing.

indeed, I would have paid tons of money for the Monster Hunter Bundles =/

Wish it wasn't preinstalled. I do not like this new trend at all.

No date but confirmed for Feb, along with Zen Pinball 2. Toki Tori 2 was confirmed for March also.

I don't think it was a response to Sony's event.
Why would you assume that? Nintendo is constantly having Directs all the time.

If you like Mario spinoffs. :/

Actually its the opposite - they never specified if the 3DS and Wii U versions can online play together (I've heard that the 3DS version doesn't have online play but I'm not sure how true that is), but they DID specify that you can copy your save across from your Wii U, carry on playing when you pop out to the shops on your 3DS, then when you get back you can continue on your Wii U at home. Pretty neat.

I'm so happy to have all of these games to look forward to this year. The year of the 3DS gets even better!
not 100% sure but I think they were starfox 3d, mario 3d land, professor layton, style savvy, and art academy.

But they're all the same content. They're all the same game.
Mario Golf! Mario DLC! Mario and Luigi! Mario's brother, Luigi's Mansion 2. Don't you see?

So, question if I were to buy this, how would the transfaring work? I already have an XL but FE one is de facto superior version.

Isn't it weird that a bunch of Mario games are coming out on a Nintendo platform?
I thought it was made to show off 3DS titles.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Savegames can be shared between the two versions

fuck europe man
Though to be fair, it just looks like the same old blue XL with a logo emblazoned on top. The colour of the JP/NA Fire Emblem 3DS was much prettier. So I guess I ain't mad.

'New Super Luigi U' looks fantastic - that's how DLC should be done.

I'm not hating on EU, but that just looks like a normal blue XL with a fire emblem logo slapped on it

Because we have a Nintendo Direct last month (they could have make the ds announcements in that event) and Sony press will be next week.
It's a form of distract the japanese consumers attention from Ps4 i think.
On the EU ND they confirmed both.
