More than five, less than ten.
I assume this refers to first party games you know are in development?
More than five, less than ten.
So what is the prevailing theory why Nintendo held back showing their powerhouse titles and the lack of games by third parties being presented?
Dev kits had something extra not expected?
Nintendo doesn't know how to make HD games?
Here is my theory regarding Nintendo: they saw the Sony and MS press conference and didn't feel threatened. There was a chance that either of them would show something regarding their next consoles, but that didnt happen, and a lot of content shown was already known, or sequels to running franchises. So Nintendo showed the bare minimum. And what they did show, even cartoony games like Nintendoland, were titles with deep gameplay. There really wasn't the simple WiiSports title to attract casuals.
Im sure many think they have lost their way, but I think Nintendo is rope-a-doping.
A lot of fans might be pissed off right now, but Nintendo knows fans have short memories, and when they show them the goods, later on this year, they will get them back
.
Well we might when Wii U bombas terribly.Do you think we'll ever have a moment comparable to this?
So they're going to show off more games soon? Wouldn't that be new thread worthy?
The fans just wanted one big hardcore single player online 1080 HD no motion game
Third Parties? Who gives a stuff really on Nintendo consoles
Not even Assassin's 3 has much interest
They said 26 games. They also said 26 games at the conference yesterday. They're showing the same games as yesterday.
Unless you're in Alternate Universe #628. That's a nice place to be.
didn't they say 23 games at the conference? and aren't there 3 games on Nintendo's Wii U Facebook page still unrevealed?
Am I overthinking this?
23 at conference then the Platinum reveal shortly after, leaves two titles.
My moneys on two Wii U games being tacked on to the 3DS show later today.
23 at conference then the Platinum reveal shortly after, leaves two titles.
And Game & Wario and Panorama View. Ta-da. 26.
but there are three secret games on the Wii U facebook page.
besides, if you're counting Platinum's game then there's also the new Wario Ware
And Game & Wario and Panorama View. Ta-da. 26.

secret games on their wii u facebook page? Is that even possible? Wasn't it IGN that had them on their youtube site, but was that really for wii u?but there are three secret games on the Wii U facebook page.

go to the Wii U page on facebook, scroll down to May 30th. Notice the comments continue right until now, and the games are not revealed anywhere on the page since then.
IGN: Switching gears, because I'm getting bombarded on Twitter to ask this... Everyone wants to know what Retro is up to. It's been a couple of years since we really heard from them. When will we hear from them?
Fils-Aime: Rich, if I disclosed what Retro is doing, I would have the president of Retro literally calling me right now saying, "Reggie, what are you doing?" We love that people are interested. We love surprising people. I remember getting the questions before we announced Donkey Kong Country Returns. And I loved unveiling that. So... Rest assured, the team is hard at work. But I'm not gonna tell you what they're working on.
Those were obviously Pikmin 3, Mario U, Nintendo Land.
Reggie said:Rich, if I disclosed what Retro is doing, I would have the president of Retro literally calling me right now saying, Reggie, what are you doing?
then why are the Facebook games still unrevealed?
why do birds suddenly appear
Retro working on video game adaptation of 2001: A Space Odyssey confirmed!!!
Whether they said 23 or 26 games at the conference. Does anyone have a list of 23 or 26 Wii U games?
Because I swear I only saw about 12 Wii U games yesterday.... OK maybe 16 games...
and 8 were from Ubisoft
no reason to be cynical, it's an honest question. Explain to me where I'm wrong and I'll forget about the Facebook thing.

He's not being cynical. He just longs to be close to you.
I'm not trying to build hype for no reason, but I honestly don't understand how you can be certain of this.
Guess what the initial game releases will be for Nintendos new home console, Wii U
The full Wii reveal at E3 2006 was actually fantastic compared to most press conferences and especially the full reveal of the Wii U.
- A highlight reel showing loads of new games
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (how a core game can use the Wii remote and nunchuck)
- First Metroid Prime 3 footage
- First Super Mario Galaxy footage
- On stage Red Steel presentation (ok the game didn't turn out great but at the time it was an exclusive Wii fps using the new control scheme for the first time)
- On stage Wii Sports battle (showed off the controller fantastically well and didn't need a 15 minute long explanation)
This got everyone excited for the console. Compare that with the Wii U.
Nintendo knew games like Metroid Prime 3 and Galaxy wouldn't be ready for launch but they still showed them and in playable form. They built anticipation of what was to come and gave you confidence that if you bought the Wii at launch, the next year would have some great games coming as well.

Guess what the initial game releases will be for Nintendo’s new home console, Wii U? Soon we’ll scratch off to reveal the names!
From Nintendo's Facebook/Twitter:
Does this mean NEW games or just info about the games they've already announced this week?
You mean the post that says:
Why would 'initial' suddenly mean 'last'?
edit GAH late again
Guys were there any comments regarding how the WiiU version of ACIII compares graphically to the other -console- versions? (from devs or journalists)
If I'm not mistaken there's a playble WiiU version running on the show floor, right?.

Edit: I'm talking texture res, AA, etc
I need something to make me interested again... I went to sleep a few hours after the conference, woke up today hoping for something
then I saw the CNN thread
then the thread for people freaking out about friends code
I wish Sony/MS showed next gen this year E3 just felt really dead
I'll be buying the Ubisoft console if they made one
Here's the list of all games known to be coming out for Wii U. I don't know which ones count towards the 26, but there are more than enough of them listed.
Hmm. Did the other versions of NG3 run at 1080p? Because of all the screenshots on Nintendo's press site, it's the only one at that resolution. (also P-100's shots look oddly scaled and NSMBU has AA unless Nintendo decided to only bullshot one game).

Was that at Nintendo's conference? As for "E3 isn't just about the conference", the conference is where the manufacturer shows off what they think is most important, what people will find most interesting. So a bad conference means their best just isn't good enough.I still think they should have done a price+launch+crazy game montage at the end of the conference.
I know fans of all 3 console companies need to calm down and realize that E3 isnt just about the conference, its about the entire week and even a little afterwards...but it still seems like companies have forgotten how to do attention grabbing montages.

Project-P, Mario U, ZombiU (actually looks and sounds like a great game), and Pikmin 3.
Darksiders II and AC III if you feel like waiting/they have unique worthwhile features over the other versions.
