Nintendo hardly showed anything new AT ALL; have they run out of ideas? (Rant)

But over the last 2 E3s nintendo bought  Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U, Zombie U, New Super MArio Bros U and Nintendo Land. This is literally a summation of E3 2011+2012 combined. Its really not an achievement to beat that.

the gave us a lot though even though I don't like their decision with mario and retro

I think part of the  fuss is:

1. People expected something big from retro, designed to show of the Wii U. As it stands the new DK would probably be better suited as a 3DS title.
2. Mario, the game that is supposed to hold crown of best game ever rated and compel people to buy the system looks very pedestrian compared to its ambitious predeccessors
3. The fact that this wasn't a live press conference sucked a ton of the energy from it, no fan fare for the mega man announcement etc.

I don't think it was terrible, I just think it was safe and unremakable. For a team with virtually no 3rd party support, its required they work harder to fill that vacancy. On a positive note the glimpses of watch dogs looks brilliant, assuming it was running off Wii U hardware.

It doesn't need to be a 3DS title it just needed to come later, like 2015 later.  We need a definitive Metroid or Star Fox game to really show the console.

I agree, we needed a full fledge Mario game that made us say wow, didnt hapen

I thought it was really good, but not great due to the above points
