This is Ninetndo's best E3 since 2006. What the hell? 07 and 08 were awful.

I thought Nintendo did amazingly well.

However, they should have at least announced that Pikmin 3 was still in developement at the conference, instead of at the roundtable with Miyamoto.

Is Nintendo going to have an event in October like last year? If so, I would expect Pikmin 3, Mario Party 9 to be unveiled there. Plus more info on other games too. Galaxy 2, NSMB Wii, Pokemon HG & SS etc...

Nintendo has a policy now to not talk much about games until they are close top their release date. The longest span of time we have is typically E3 which shows games a few months in advance. Nintendo is trying to avoid long periods of knowing games to prevent people getting bored and to not confuse consumers as to when the game is coming out (the pipeline of information is closer to launch so when people hear about it, they can go to the store and buy it).

Nintendo will show some games in October, so Pikmin 3 may end up there. Don't expect Zelda until E32010.

All I said was for them to mention it. To announce it. That's all. lol

You kind of wasted your time quoting my post then.

Miyamoto said Zelda Wii will be shown at E3 next year. or did he say "maybe"? I forget. Anyway, I know all of that stuff. But then why did they announce Mario Galaxy 2 way ahead of time?
