Glass half full point of view. If instead you look at what they did present, you'd have a very different opinion.
The highlights for me:
Smash gameplay, with Megaman. Cool as fuck, yes!!
Mario Kart 8 looks awesome. Indeed it does! One of the new things.
SM3DW IS new, it have so many unrecognizable features from the original. Coop, Yoshi as a boat, a cat costume which drastically alters Mario's movement. Man if this is not new... It all depends on what you want. If it's a new IP then sure you didn't get it. If you wanted a whole new world for Mario then sure you didn't get it but you know you will and that's all you need to know. New costumes does not = "new", this is more or less a glorified 3DS port (I'm exaggerating of course). The thing is I DON'T know that I'll get a new world for Mario. This might be THE 3D Mario game this gen... Last gen we got lucky and got 2 Galaxies...
DKCR 2. Since when are sequels not new? What is it you want? DKCR is being ported to 3DS this year, so we didn't need this game. I was hoping Retro would do something else.
X. How is this more new than a sequel to Donkey Kong Country? They are different games in different genres, sequels mean different things in these genres. It's more new because it's not a direct sequel? AND it has new features.
Bayo 2, what's more new about X than this? We haven't seen any game play so far. And we've known about this title for almost 1 year now.
What about the Gamecube for example was so much more new in its second year than for U? Man you've been a Nintendo fan for this long, this is how they roll. I had stopped gaming when the GC came out; did not have anything I wanted back then.

Oh my God, how does the 3DS port of DKCR change anything to the need for a sequel. I'm baffled.
Just a new suit? Man have you even played 3DLand, this completely changes how mario plays. Expect another Mario game but think of this as an interim NSMB on steriods, basically.
So Bayo 2 is an unknown, but it's just obvious that it's a sequel with sequel stuff in it, which was never ever a problem.
If the cube didn't please you, then what Nintendo games do you play? Rare games? Man they are not with the big N anymore, get with it.

I agree that DKCR needs a sequel, but is it what it needs NOW? Is it what Retro NEEDS to work with? I don't think so. But DKCFT is only a sum of all the parts. I'm not singling out that game; I'm talking about ALL the games Nintendo showed today. Very little innovation/new ideas was shown.
I am not saying that 3DLand ISN'T a new idea/take on Mario; on the contrary - I've said in this very thread that it was a new, fresh idea, but it's not what the Wii U needs. It's not the path 3D Mario should take. 3D Mario has NEVER copied another Mario game for it's core mechanics. 3D World looks too much like 3DLAnd. I hope you're right in that this will be a new spin off of Mario and that we'll see a "proper" 3D Mario next year or something like that...
I actually never played many Rare games. What brought me back was the Wii with Zelda TP and Mario Galaxy; the innovation that Nintendo had going the whole last gen.
