Nintendo has so much, why did they show so little?

But your original post highlights what was so good about Nintendo's show-they had amazing products,and we want more. Not just more products, but more about what Nintendo have already unveiled. They've created enormously high levels of anticipation for 3DS and their software, and they did that by giving us information, but without overloading us. In the aftermath of E3, many question marks remain about Nintendo's future products, and anticipation is high. We'll have to wait for answers, and keep track of Nintendo in order to do so.

It's a masterful display by Nintendo, really. They've captured plenty of interest, and they aren't going to let go of that easily.

Well if their goal was to have me begging for more and wondering what else they have held back and not shown at the conference then they did a great job. I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting more and more and more, but I guess if Nintendo were to indulge us with everything right now the hype train would slow to a hault.

I don't agree with Nintendo releasing new info all week long instead of stunning the living crap out of us at their press conference but it does make some sense. I just wish they as one person put it caused us all to have heart attacks by revealing all those screens during their press event. Wouldn't that have been freaking amazing!

Thanks to you two for what you brought to discussion. I mostly agree with Asriel thus I do think it is all part of a strategy. Knowing the right place and the right way to show a particular software makes it a success or the opposite, and Nintendo seems to be thinking quite cleverly every move they made (by the way, I was impressed how unscathed Reggie continued with the presentation after the technical issues with Zelda: he didn't allow us to keep feeling bad about it and made us understand "hey, dumb head, this is serious bussines, we don't get nervous about things like this because we are sure that what we offer is top notch").

Anyway, I cannot be but anxious and sad about Xenoblade and Last Story. I really need them (and hopefuly Tales of Graces too) to be confirmed for their release in the west.
