Is it me or are we starting to see the third-party support that Nintendo anticipated would be there six months ago?

There has been a lot announced in a short time frame, before the big announcement summit.

Yep.   Nintendo gave them all a very long window to get some high quality titles in and they missed it; mostly.

Now they may end up competing directly with Nintendo once again.   Hopefully they'll put some actual marketing and retail support into those titles so they won't get marginalized so much.

 

Alot of us said this flood was coming.  I'm just glad to finally see the dam breaking.

Yah Nintendo pretty much tossed in its cap last year. Giving third parties a chance to be unchallenged by Nintendo's first party catalogue. But third parties didn't take advantage of the drought their was barely anything worthwhile coming out all year. Now hopefully Nintendo is back at this years E3. I'm looking forward to seeing some new Nintendo first party content. If Nintendo holds back again to give third parties longer to go unchallenged I'll be sorely dissapointed.

Then again every year Nintendo holds back is another year of development on those core franchises. Eventually Nintendo will have to release all these games they're not announcing. When the flood of Donkey Kong's StarFox's , Zelda's and Mario's come third parties will be destroyed!
