I think the main problem from this direct is that they focused on games launching before the beginning of 2016. With that choice, we already knew about most of them. The only unexpected one on WiiU is this animal crossing abomination festival... which isn't really exciting. That choice killed the surprise effect. The other companies mostly showed CGI trailers of games without a launch date but they had that "Wow" effect Nintendo lacked.
I was also disappointed by the Digital event (except for the puppets) but then I realized that Yoshi WW, XCX, Super Mario Maker and Star fox are still coming this year. Last fall we had Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta, SSB and Captain Toad. That makes 4 games (5 including Sonic Boom). If we add AC Atrocity Festival and Mario Tennis (people might want to play that I guess), we have more games this year than in the last.
