Kind of a strange post here.  Your last paragraph shows that you do know about them doing a 3rd party one later so not sure where the hate is.

You complain about this one which was purely 1st party games catering to nintnedo only fans.  Um, yea it was nintendo ONLY games, so would it not be only pleasing to Nintendo fans?

Be like going to Capcom's booth/presentation at E3 and complaining that they didn't show enough EA gamesor something.  Uh duh, its Capcoms conference, not EA's.  THis was a purely Nintendo conference they had, they said they will do 3rd parties at a later date, which you said you knew about.

Well if you look at the complaints about the Wii U it is mainly coming from non Nintendo gamers. Nintendo should be addressing their concerns first about the lack of 3rd party support so they are confident in buyng the hardware. 

Nintendo 1st party games is something that should be left to E3.

Essentially I am saying they are doing it in the wrong order. If Nintendo can't convince non Nintendo gamers to buy their hardware before nextbox or ps4 launches then they will most likley never capture these core gamers.


I respectfully disagree.  It takes an active interest to even find the damn live stream, and patience beyond haphazard following to sit through those dreadful 15 minutes of Miiverse coverage.  If you are responding to this ND, you are either a Nintendo fan eagerly awaiting good news, or a critic looking for chinks in Nintendo's armor.  E3 is where the press converges.  ND, as its name explicitly states, is a direct massage, point to point communication, to whom?  To people already having an interest.

Your marketing efforts and expense must be channeled towards the intended audience as much as possible.  You never hear Hermes or Bentley radio advertisements, because 99% of the listeners simply cannot afford them or give a damn.  You also don't spend millions for a spot in professional publications to advertise Cheerio.  Not that many people view the Nintendo Directs on Youtube, if you pay attention to Iwata's words, they are framed with Nintendo players in mind.
