Bless your heart for trying, but no.
Horrible conference and no real reason to buy a Wii U shown outside of Pikmin.
It was what it was.
So they still don't talk about the hardware, they still don't have a release date except holiday season, which may be as late as early January 2013, there is no price, there are no games. They still don't show any interesting ideas for the second screen (what we got were inventories, maps, sonars and rifle scopes, all pointless because they aren't needed). There is still no information on their online strategy (paid, free, digital distribution?, entertainment?). I was thinking about getting a Wii U but now that Halo 4 basically is a new Metroid Prime I don't see why I should. The fact that they don't talk about hardware power is telling. It's weaker than the competition, otherwise they would gloat over it. But hey, at least it has thumbsticks. And you can press them in for additional control.

Disappointing, but still an okay conference. This was their opportunity to really sell people on the Wii U concept, just as they did with the Wii in 2005, and they definitely fell short. There was a lack of surprises, and most of the games mentioned were mentioned at last year's event, though it is nice to finally get some hard info on Pikmin 3, Luigi's Mansion 2, the NSMBs, Paper Mario, and Lego City Stories. As for Nintendo Land, it irked me that they didn't confirm whether it would be a pack-in game; they just said that it would launch at the same time.
Most of all, it's too bad that they didn't do a "one more thing" shocker with Retro, Sakurai, or with the rumored 3DSXL, as that would've ended the conference on a far more positive note.

Even though it dragged like hell, Eguchi seemed like a nice guy to hang out with. His face looked so innocent it made me smile the entire time.
I laughed until I cried.
Yeah I'll pass on that. I feel like the wii u has an even more casual gaming direction that the wii with only late 3rd party ports to fill the rest of the library.
I thought that way after pikman 3 and then figured if they showed Zelda,DK, Metroid or FZero I'd prolly buy one at launch. Now there is no way I'd bother for launch day or even by 2013 and that's if they show more games.

The thing is though he doesn't really do it for anyone else. It's odd. Would love to see everyone come under the heat.

PLATINUM GAMES...is there a stream where you are hearing this news? I think Nintendo is saving the games for when Xbox 720/PS4 arrive.

Nintendo (and to a lesser extent Sony and MS) have figured out how E3 works. For a few years now, the console makers have been using the E3 conferences primarily as a way of reaching people who don't typically pay any attention to gaming news.
It's silly to make a big deal out of Smash Bros at a presentation like this when they could unveil it next week and reach exactly as many of the core crowd. I'm not saying that that's what they'll do, and obviously their business model in general has moved away from that sort of thing, but this is why the conferences are all about Nintendoland and Wonderbook.

Like most of us, I had so much hope for the Wii U. The Wii was necessary for Nintendo to recoup some of their standing and gain mucho money, so they were in prime position to create another golden glory era for the company.
Even though Nintendo franchises are my favorite, and I always fall for the hype train, my play time between 360 and Wii has to be like a 15:1 ratio. My Wii barely gets any play at all, while my 360 is a constant source of entertainment. I go back and replay games like GTAIV and Red Dead Redemption and Halo and all that good stuff. The last game I replayed on the Wii was... Punch-Out!! I think, which I played once for maybe an hour beyond the main play through
I just want to love Nintendo again
That being said, the 3DS is amazing. It's one of my favorite systems ever, and it has so much potential to be Nintendo's best handheld. I can't wait for tomorrows presser on the 3DS, but then again I'm super jaded right now and that guy presenting seems like a robotic lifeless joke
At this point I would be more than content if Nintendo folded in the console race and poured all of their resources into their handheld market which I still love
Really though, I don't think there is any way the 3DS presentation tomorrow won't surpass today's. I already love the system and are excited for upcoming games. But as of now, the Wii U is Dead On Arrival

Um.
Halo 4 alone was better than anything Nintendo produced. Throw in South Park, Tomb Raider, Forza and Gears and it was CONSIDERABLY better.
Face it dude, that was the worst E3 presser ever. Pikmin, year old ports and Nintendoland? Don't make me laugh!
I can't even tell you when it launches or how much it will cost. That's how much it sucked.

You have a new console and deliver a worse show than Sony and Microsoft.
Respect, Nintendo!

Why did Nintendo get Platinum to make a game that looks like something Nintendo itself could make?

That goes without saying, but he didn't say "good games", now did he?
Platinum is getting all the attention you'd expect in this day and age, even if it isn't the amount that it would deserve.

It's from Toonces the Driving Cat, a classic series of Saturday Night Live skits from the 1980s and early 90s.
