They usually have them up on youtube shortly after it airs. Like within 15min if im not mistaken..
Also, yes, they should be on the eshop the same day it airs.

It won't and you wouldn't.
I'd probably buy a NSMBU2. The game is just that good. Reading the latest Iwata Asks about Super Luigi U doesn't sound like the team would/could be doing another NSMB for any current platforms.

I thought it was very good.
No surprises but high quality titles.
Most of the games shown look like "9" games to me.
Many were expecting info/footage etc. on a new Zelda game, a new Mario game similar to Galaxy of greatness (not that 3DS game look alike ugh..), maybe some other great titles that were not known... But we didn't get any of that.

EAD Tokyo and Retro easily got the most shit for their reveals. Both are two of Nintendo's greatest studios, but 3D World in particular is the one I don't get the backlash on. It's beautiful, it looks fun, and its a legit achievement to make a 2-player 3D platformer... let alone a 4-player one.That would be mine.
But it's only a matter of time before people see the crazier later levels and are glad they are making this game.
Out of all the developers, I think they deserve the benefit of "doubt".
It just always screamed "Big time game coming soon!" Tropical Freeze on the other hand is not as pretty as I'd expect a new DKC to be from them, on such powerful hardware. And it wasn't the tone I expected of the title Retro had been working on for three years. I get the TF backlash. But 3D World looks beautiful, fun, and it's from EAD Tokyo.

You also care about TW101. You better not question it.
I do but I won't be buying a WiiU until next year.
Mario Golf being 2014 bites. Year of luigi, yeah right....
I mean last time I checked, some major sites even made fun of Nintendos super secret that they had at E3...which was the Wii fit girl in smash bros. But when it came to the E3 Direct itself, people were expecting SO much because they didn't have a big conference so the DIrect(s) HAD to be good...which was not.
I play games on Nintendo platforms regularly, but many people I know were disappointed myself included.
People screamed for months they wanted info on 3D Mario, X, MK, Smash, Bayo and shit. They got all that and were still whining because they didn't get a MEGATON ANNOUNCEMENT like platinum buy out or KH3 exclusive or some nonsense.
People here don't care about being shown how games are played or what new gameplay there is, they only want announcements announecements announcements os they can talk about it for days on a message board and get their kick out of it.
It's even the same about every conference ever, even MS or Sony's. As soon as someone talk about something else than a surprise announcement they yell "shut up show us games!" or "ffs where are the announcements!".
I honestly don't understand why people are even watching these things anymore. Just go take a shit and read the announcements afterwards for the same effect.

E3 was a good showing, but if you were expecting games you didn't know about before you saw the Direct; you'd really only get Donkey Kong. Everyone knew about Smash, Mario Kart, and 3D Mario for months because of Iwata himself saying they will be there.

CHOO CHOO all aboard the hype train!

I agree.
So far all 3D Mario were awesome, I wonder how could someone start to freak out, there is simply no reason to, it's EAD Tokyo!
Let's see how is the game before jumping to conclusion.

What's funny is that I suspect the group that didn't want another Galaxy game(can't figure how that series has already run its course) are now saying they wish EAD Tokyo's new game was another Galaxy.
When a developer is THAT good like Retro and especially EAD Tokyo, I roll with whatever they are making next and feel lucky that I'll get to play another title by them.
Disappointment is fine but a lot of it seems disrespectful in tone to some of the best developers on the planet.
I went back and replayed Super Mario 3D Land, a game I really liked but didn't love and the game is once again an impeccably designed game by that group and a better one is not something I could even be disappointed with.
Upon first sight, I have to admit I was surprised that was their game and their only new game but I got over it really fast as it looks top quality.
I'm looking for substance first, flash is a bonus.
New mechanics like the ability to climb(scares me a bit) and the clear tubes makes me really hyped for the game as it looks to me like a better 3D Land.
That might not be good enough for some but it is for me.

Surely Retro hasn't spent three years just on this?
You would have thought that they had something else being planned or being worked on side by side. Nintendo needs a couple of Retro games in three years really; they can't afford Retro taking another three years to bang something else out.
I agree with everything you say by the way.

That's not the case. They are 100% focused on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Other projects in the near past included supervision of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and misc. work on Mario Kart 7.

3d world, with four players, may end up being the most fun people have had from a 3d mario game. Maybe even every mario game.
Im just waiting to see what new creative ideas they have with being able to play with multiple people.
This can be seen as a negative to many, as they might end up playing alone. So itll be interesting to see if they can balance that factor out.

Maybe it's a good thing.
I think a game as quality as that takes longer than we know but if they have extra time and staff, maybe they will once again help on Kart to make sure it makes it out the date they gave.
Of course it'd be better if they had two projects but all signs point to that not being the case unless they are being sneaky.
I will never get the negative reception to 3D World. TF I get. I wanted Retro working on something that put their artistic talents to full use. Instead we got a look at a pretty, but not astounding DKC.
My excitement for 3D World has steadily increased, but I was also initially disappointed. There are certain things I've come to expect from 3D Mario games, and however it turns out, 3D World is undoubtedly a bit of a break from those expectations. The Tropical Freeze complaints fall more or less in the same category: people were hoping for something with a particular combination of ambition, ingenuity, and freshness, and instead were given something that at least felt too safe.
Still, the E3 ND was much better than people give it credit for. Your mileage will vary, though, depending on your receptivity to the actual games announced. 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, and SSB were undoubtedly all big announcements.
I'm really banking on a Wii U price drop and bundle now come to think about it, the next Nintendo Direct would be around this point in October probably and by then it would be sort of already into the Holiday Season (well not that far, but still) to announcement something as large as that and wait until then, a lot of the hype in between gamers would be over the Xbox One and PS4 at that point. I suppose one could make the argument that August is too early to announce a price drop and bundle for the thing, but the heavy hitters are starting to release right now and in the few coming weeks with Pikmin 2 and W101 until well into December with 3D World.
what are the chances of another X trailer?
No Soraya Saga tweets, so dreams crushed.
Organizing my expectations...
Realistic expectations today:
Talking about more 3DS XL colors being available now.
The Wonderful 101
They'll probably bring up Pikmin 3 somehow just to talk about it.
An update on the Wii U summer update and when to expect it (Big maybe)
A trailer for Zelda WindWaker HD
Mario and Luigi Dream Team
Wii Party U
Rayman Legends
Optimistic expectations tonight:
Game localization news
Miiverse for 3DS news
1-2 unexpected game announcements
Price cuts of any kind
UnrealisticHYPE expectations set for tomorrow:
GBA and SNES VC for 3DS
Account system
all new game announcement bonanza
News about SMT x FE, X, or any game for 2014
Bravely Default 2, TWEWY 2 and other games announced for 3DS
Someone showing up and presenting the direct in a Wonderful 101 mask

3D World just needs some new footage. The levels we've seen don't inspire much confidence that it will have anywhere near the creativity of either galaxy, and honestly im worried they are rushing to get this out
The WW bundle will likely show up. Dont get your hopes up for a price drop.

Many people expected something like a new action/adventure game or rpg from retro instead of a 2d platformer. Many people feel mario 3d world does not feel like a legitimate successor to galaxy/sunshine/64. Smash and X very far away. No major surprises.
Everyone who would watch this knows what's coming. You need to build real excitement Nintendo with new, big stuff.Before anyone gets too excited, it does say " We will share new details on previously announced games for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS launching this year!"...
Though I'm hoping for a few surprises.

I mean... who knows if that's all they've been focused on.
Hard enough to get Nintendo to say anything about their own inhouse games let alone those from their overseas developers.

It's not about unrealistic expectations (IMO) but it's just the Directs doesn't have that WOW factor anymore. Nothing is surprising, it's like everything is known before the DIrects. I want to be amazed, I want my jaw to drop, I want to jump of joy...you get the idea.

Drug induced insanity.
Nintendo is a drug. You can't prove any different!
That's not the case. They are 100% focused on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Other projects in the near past included supervision of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and misc. work on Mario Kart 7.
Which is fine by me but don't Nintendo need a steady stream of strong games? Can they afford to let Retro only release two or three games a generation?
I was thinking along the lines of Rare where they could compliment Nintendo's output but would probably need to expand.
Maybe it's a good thing.
I think a game as quality as that takes longer than we know but if they have extra time and staff, maybe they will once again help on Kart to make sure it makes it out the date they gave.
Of course it'd be better if they had two projects but all signs point to that not being the case unless they are being sneaky.
Now if they helped on Mario Kart to try and get it out before Christmas then this would have been a huge boost to the Wii U but again they can only stretch so far with their numbers.
I suppose I would have hoped that Nintendo would have tried to lay the groundwork during the Wii's lull years but HD development seems to have caught them out slightly.

I don't understand the hate for Donkey kong WiiU.
It looks amazing. Will surely outclass NSMBU and the original Donkey Kong Returns.

Yeah... no
Not even close.
2 million is my bet. 3 maybe and that's pushing it.
