Nintendo is a bit on the lacking side true. 3D world was very good, just below mario galaxy, better than mario sunshine. Lego city undercover was great. But indeed Nintendo hasn't show any real reason for the gamepad, apart from letting your kids play on it while you watch tv or use a different console. Mario Kart 8 looks great though. I would have liked some puzzle game like Zack and Wiki making good use of the gamepad.

As generations move on it seems sticking with last gen's 'winner' is the worst strategy. The underdog produces the best games. MS and Sony both qualify for that atm. PS5 might be terrible again if PS4 keeps steam rolling as it currently is. Meanwhile Nintendo has had it's wake up call, this E3 might already be better.

For me, this generation just feels so much more conservative than the last; there's less innovation, less bold new ideas, less risks.
