I love how they announce these so close to the actual ND. No long waiting times.
Wish they would apply this to their game release schedule

Zelda Wii U? Or at least some footage. Or X information? Only thing I'm really interested in. Come on Nintendo, get me to buy a Wii U.
Shenmue 3 coming to Wii U!It wouldn't be out of the norm for Nintendo to drop some tease, but anybody expecting the focus to be on anything other than the 3DS and Wii U release roster up until the end of September is doomed for disappointment. They're not going to drop "OH BY THE WAY HERE'S POKEMON MMO U, RETRO'S GAME, AND SHENMUE III" in a Direct like this. If you want hype on new shit, wait until E3.
That being said, I really, really need my The Wonderful 101 release date. I'm certain this will deliver a Pikmin 3 PAL date, which is nice. But I really want that TW101.

After both systems have been revealed? Seems like a huge wasted opportunity.
Nintendo is dead...

I guess Iwata will atleast do some vocal tease (sounds more dirty than it was supposed to). He always does this.

Company president Satoru Iwata will communicate 'directly' with fans via the internet, focusing on 1st Party titles planned for release in Summer for Nintendo Wii U.
Developments for Wii U from Autumn of this year will be communicated around the timing of E3 with a Nintendo Direct.

Oh my. This wins.
Oh my. Lol
At this point, it's clear they have no intentions to release anything before the end of June. They think they're relaunching it, I think they're unintentionally aborting it, we'll see who's right.
It's part of why no July game is concerning. You have Wario in June (which isn't going to light the world on fire), Pikmin in August (which will do better than Wario but will be similarly incombustible), and nothing for July. First month of their relaunch and they're already failing to deliver on the game-a-month idea.
Now, optimistically, this means W101 is coming out then. But if it's not, then that means they consider Wario (June 30th) as both the June title and the July title which, really? Really?
Wii U Party is a summer title
Did they really write Please Understand in there.

I think I'd rather have just Wario.
Pretty much what everyone else is saying...nothing new or too surprising regarding major announcements. Chances are we will only see games we have already seen. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some news about more games coming out for the virtual console.

Technically あらかじめご了承ください means 'please take note' but I couldn't resist with it coming at the end of the dot-point.
