You too are so disinterested in the new AC game that you didn't even bother trying to get the title right.
Star Fox and Mario Maker were announced last E3!

That 3DS Metroid game wasn't Retro, was it?
Please, for the love of God say no...
Either that or Wii Music U with Amiibo instruments.
Yeah and those big jumps mean longer development times. Perfectly content if it'll at least be Wii U level.

I don't think so. Super Mario Maker has an incredible potential.
"...and in the way we communicate with consumers to promote and sell our products."
Nintendo needs to fire its marketing team and hire a new one. Confusing names, lame ads, lack of ads, etc are a huge part of their problem. Appealing to a general audience and even kids means being cool. They've got the highly rated games. But they didn't make people want to buy them.
Its not
I don't think they're sufficient for me. But the person stated they wanted WIi U games. Also someone mentioned Yoshi and Fatal Frame.
I'm guessing it's kind of to be expected since Other M sales. Someone mentioned earlier E3 is the time for business and after what happened with Other M, they decided to do spinoffs instead of main games. Looks like a small investment game anyway.

If they didn't have anything, they should have just bowed out of E3, citing how hard at work they are on their future products. There would have been disappointment, but they'd at least have their dignity.
It would have been better to be disappointed by their absence, rather than disappointed by the utter rubbish they presented.

...It's not like this is a videogame forum during the most important moments of the year. Not sure what or where you think a more appropriate reaction would be.
The thing just is that the Wii U is not getting any of the multiplatform titles. Well, Skylanders is still there.
I wasn't much interested in it once I found out it was a party game.
For Star Fox, at least we had gameplay this time.
Mario Maker was beaten to death though. I won't deny that.

Shit the dude makes me feel bad but you couldn't even deliver on a proper Animal Crossing title.
I.E.... you couldn't beat E3 2008.

Star Fox, Yoshi, Mario Maker, Xenoblade and Mario Tennis is a more than OK 2015. Wii had some worse lineups in its latter years.

I loved the muppet thing. Brilliant! Cute! Better than the getting some game rep speaking about how their game is a "revolution" and literal "game changer". This was fun.
Like you said though, the games themselves were... eh.
Next Level I believe.
I have to agree with this. NIntendo would have done better to show nothing than to show what they showed. Then their standing would be neutral. Now its negative.

You'll be happy if they delay flagship games so they launch with the new system even if they're 'WiiU level'? I don't believe you believe that.

You'd sell the system they're actually supporting? You're a wierd Nintendo fan.

I understand if they want to save the big games for the NX, like the next 3D Mario. That doesn't mean they can't have great smaller budget Wii U games like Toad Treasure Tracker. Whereas games like Animal Crossing Mario Party Clone and Mario Tennis seem so uninspired.
Let's just say expectations were not met mostly.
Is this from 2012,13,14 or 15?
They had plenty to show. They just didn't
They could have shown Fast Racing Neo, Devil's Third, Project Treasure, Bravely Default Second, Fatal Frame V, Rodea: The Sky Soldier, Sonic and Mario at the Olympics 2016. Instead they gave people a whole lot of what they did not want.

Sad he has to issue a statement.
NX must come out in 2016, it'll only damage Nintendo if they let the Wii U wither away for any longer than that. Personally I think the earliest that the next systems from Microsoft and Sony would release is 2020. If the NX launches next year it would compete mostly with the PS4 and Xbone, and then Nintendo could release a successor not long after PS5 and Xbox 4, maybe in 2021, giving the NX a 5 year-cycle, at least hypothetically. If the NX will for the most part compete with Xbone and PS4 it could actually be the most powerful console out for a few years at least. They'll still need to convince 3rd parties to work on the platform, and for that they need a large user base, at the very least. But they won't get a significant user base if they don't have the third parties on-board.
Honestly, to compete again Nintendo will need some massive stuff outside of their first-party offerings. Something along the lines of Resident Evil 7 being exclusive to NX. Most likely wont happen but I don't know how else Nintendo could really get back in the game.

Considering that we are now finally getting to the point where most of the big AAA games aren't cross-gen, I am not worried in the least. Nintendo shifting certain games to NX says nothing about the power of the console. Pikmin 3 also started on Wii and was later transitioned to Wii U. Despite Wii U's performance compared to other consoles, it is a huge leap over Wii.
Nintendo: here are some expected or otherwise bland announcements of games you already knew we were working on.
Sony: Here are three of the biggest third party announcements that people have been asking for over a decade
It isn't just that Nintendo's outing was poor, it's that Sony's was so incredibly well received.
Yeah, I don't understand how some people think Nintendo is going to try to be more like Sony and Microsoft. The writing it on the wall with all the statements Iwata and Miyamoto have talked about over the past few years. They don't want to compete directly Sony and Microsoft and their home console is going to reflect this through hardware differentiation with less hardware power and a unique interface and/or hardware features. just as it has since the DS and Wii generation. Wii U's failure this generation is not going to scare Nintendo way to want to revert back to being a direct competitor. Nintendo will very likely continue to alienate major third parties support despite its next-gen unified architectural strategy which really is only going to probably appeal to only a few Japanese third parties and most of all, indies.
This post inspired me to make this gif:
Can someone add in the following?: retro studios logo as clint's head, neogaf logo as ''the ugly's head, and a wiiU as a head on the man rolling in the grave, and maybe a sign instead of the hat, saying RIP wiiu 2012-2015. My editing skills are beyond horrible.

When I think of the dev time put into that Metroid 3DS game... of all of the things they have in their arsenal, they created that. And it looks arguably worse than the original Metroid Prime Hunters!

That's assuming that pissing off the dedicated few who actually still bought the hardware isn't going to bite them in the arse even more.
Either they need to do something wii remote level revolutionary again or they're going to be even more screwed by this.
That much is expected considering there's no way anybody could have presented anything to beat Sony at that point
Wondering how the hell they can make Splatoon, a game where one of its main themes is about being cool and not get this?
This is the best analysis of the situation. Nintendo is going to kill itself if they drop the Wii U for whatever the NX is. They put themselves right back where they are, or possibly in an even worse position.
Here's, and I'm not exaggerating, all the Wii U news you missed during the event:
-Star Fox is now Star Fox Zero, coming 2015 (developed by Platinum, but for god knows what reason, they waited till after the event to mention this)
-Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival Announced
-new Mario Tennis announced
-Bowser and Donkey Kong in Skylanders
-Amiibo support for Mario Maker
-new #FE trailer
-Release dates for announced games
We don't even know this is the last year of Wii U. NX won't even be unveiled until next year apparently, which means it might not be releasing until 2017.
They can't just wrap up the Wii U with what they've already announced and call it a day.
Not at all. That he's aware of the reactions is good thing. It also shows the negative reaction is that wide spread and that loud.
Next Level Games.
