not good at all... 5/10 IMO
3DS was the only system to get an excellent showing.
Wii was completely ignored during the show; even the games announced for it on Nintendo's site were either games we new about or party games. Zelda looks amazing, but that is no excuse!.
Wii U is a cool concept but was presented quite badly - the 3rd party reel was of games running on ps360, and it turns out some of the games shown aren't even confirmed for release on Wii U such as Aliens...

Basically that means the show was a long commercial for the 3DS. Everybody else who doesn't have one or want one was basically told: "Wii is dead, Wii U is coming but all these games/concepts may not show up on it..."

to me that sounds way too close to: "Buy a 3DS or buy a Playstation cause Nintendo's got nothin' for ya on the home front any time soon..."

yay...

I reckon in 12 months time you will have a very different opinion. I would argue that Nintendo achieved their aims by focusing on the control method and the possibilities it gives. One just has to look at the media in the UK alone - The Sun, the biggest selling newspaper in the country, had a page article about it going a little loopy about how cool it was. Ign is full of praise, particularly on the Nintendo section, of course, but it is fairly impressive nonetheless.

I don't think so... I feel burned as a Wii owner so I am less likely to let myself get hyped for a new console when all I wanted was a few last games for Wii. Xenoblade and Last Story weren't even announced for US release, with Reggie giving a "nothing to announce" bullshit response.

I don't think I'll be getting a WiiU any time near launch, if at all.
