I completely agree. Especially on the Metroid front. Way too many expectations, like dark and gritty Metroid Dread and Retro making Prime 4.
Nintendo is setting themselves up so that they don't have to make an emergency direct for the NX shortly after release.

Disappointment. You're watching the gut punch.

It seems Iwata and Nintendo saw the negative reaction to the Digital Event.

After the NWC they shouldn't have spent any time on Mario Maker
Fire Emblem looks like shit.
SMT x FE looks like shit.
Xenoblade seems to be mediocre based on impressions from Japan.
Another insult to Paper Mario
The death of Metroid
The Wii U AC game is a fucking amiibo board game
Zelda, Star Fox, and Yoshi look good.
Well, something needs to change. I just don't think releasing a mid-gen console is the answer. That's more like a dying breath.
Very surprised that none of those 3DS titles were exclusive to the New 3DS, or were they?
It was a very lackluster showing, clearer e3 isn't a focus for Nintendo but that's fine we'll get bigger announcements at other shows.
But some of this was clearly filler, well compared to the approach they take compared to Microsoft and Sony its very Nintendo.
The puppets were the best part of the conference for me, the dancing ones in particular were hilarious.
Somebody get a gif of that Camera man O face!

They've moved their teams to NX. This is clear.
No one bought a Wii U, so why spend more money on it?
Lots of strange and unrealistic expectations today.
Explains why Iwata didn't buy tickets to E3. Knew their showing was underwhelming and didn't want to bother answering awkward questions by the press.
NX and mobile. I kind of agree with you. For example I think that Animal Crossing board game was originally a full-fledged sequel but then Wii U happened. No reason to waste a proper entry in the series on that system.
Ah, forgot about that one. Also, the Super Star Wars & Star Wars Rogue Squadron games too. But my main point still stands (I think): if the 3rd parties offerings were quality releases from Capcom, Konami, and Square Enix, they would sell just fine on Nintendo systems.
Bruh....

That's the reason why they are killing the Wii U right there. Nintendo could've mask this E3 lineup with the same damn games that Sony and Microsoft had just like Sony/Microsoft did the previous 2 years with solid 3rd party support. Then nobody would've blinked an eye to Wii U's last days.

Also, I'll give them last year's Digital Event.
But holy fuck, that idea with the puppets was bad. Basically turned into trolling, once you realized how this was gonna end. :lol Hopefully NX gets a conference, but I think it will. World championship already was much better than the prerec thing today from an entertainment perspective (meaning, excluding the obviously horrid content)

I feel as if Nintendo doesn't care about what gamers want as a whole but what a minor amount of fans care for. I'm hyped for Yoshi and Mario Maker, but that's about it. I understand that this potentially means that devs are moving onto the NX but until they show me the receipts I'm not going to give them the benefit of doubt.
Stop going off into your own little bubble and actually pay attention to what the community as a whole wants.

So much tsun-tsun for Nintendo.
Here is google translate for the lazy:
[ Iwata ] until midnight , thank you for seeing . We take very seriously the various opinions for this year's Digital Event, I would like to continue our efforts to be able to meet future , more and more of our expectations . #Iwatter
Yep. People just don't seem to get that for many, game consoles are a "platform" and most of the games they buy are multiplats. I would argue for a lot of people, the majority of the games they buy in a given year, are multiplat. And the reason Sony is doing so well, is the PS4 is THE best Platform to play most of the AAA budget titles, hell, most of the titles released in the industry in general, in a given year. I mean in terms of performance. And when games cost $60, and when people have HDTV's, they want the best bang for their buck. They want the best version of something they are playing.
So people can say Sony doesn't have games all they want (and that is a problem), but they are also kind of missing the point. A lot of people will have a ton of content to play on their PS4 this holiday (it doesn't need to be exclusive to still not be a massive deal. A lot of people are excited as hell about Arkham Knight for instance. Or Fallout 4). And they showed of a lot OMG games that are 2016 (or at least within a decent reach). When you consider all the stuff they showed that wowed + knowing the fact that, most people will be playing a ton of major games on PS4...
As a Nintendo fan, I get that, not everyone likes AAA multiplat titles from the industry. I am not trying to sell Nintendo fans on these other consoles, or other games. I mean, you could think that most AAA games are shit. I get that. Just speaking in general.
I also don't get why people are also obsessed with an E3 conference only being good, if it has content for THIS year. Most of Nintendo's content is this year, and it was still a flat conference with pacing/structure issues. And a lot of what they showed, not a lot wowed.

Yeah. Nintendo is simply not going to drop 20 million + on a fucking Metroid game on a dying console. That wasn't going to happen. Anyone expecting it has no business sense.
It's just a press conference. The Wii U is still a fantastic console.
I'll continue to be a fan as long as they keep making good games. Shitty press conferences be damned.
No... no it certainly wasn't perfect... far from it

Digital Event was weird for sure, but fuck it, Platinum Star Fox, that's all I really wanted and that's what I got. The rest of 2015 looks really solid from my perspective: Yoshi's Woolly World, Devil's Third, Project Zero, Xenoblade X and Mario Maker will keep me busy way into 2016. I don't expect SF to hit until 2016, it looks really early in development.

This is the conceit of many in this thread.
But I can understand it; they're thinking like fans, not businesspeople.
I have read dozens of GAF posts exactly like that in the last three years.
Ah come on man, that's not fair. I never stopped hating Nintendo.
What an asshole, Iwata is saving this company from going full mobile.

I mean real translation vs shitty Google translate lol
You apparently have a MUCH lower threshold for "amazing" than the rest of us.
Mario Maker looks amazing by any threshold applied to video games. Star Fox... could be good. I'm worried about how often the treehouse guy was ramming straight into obstacles while looking at the gamepad.

Agreed. Sony and MS have had a terrible first party retail lineup thus far, and it doesn't matter because of the robust third party support. Hell, I don't think I own a single first party game from either of them this generation. That said, they will still crush it this Holiday thanks to the depth and variety of third party experiences available on their platforms.
Nintendo looks on pace for what could very well their worst holiday season in a very, very long time.
