They didn't focus on core games but they were there. SW:Clone Wars wouldn't be considered casual on any other system. COD5 is obviously not a party game. SW:Snowboarding is multiplat so I guess the 360/PS3 also get shovelware!
Reggie even said the Mario and Zelda teams were hard at work but unlike other companies they didn't want to hype us up for a game releasing in 2010.
Yeah for us the press conference sucked but Nintendo knows we'll be reading mags and IGN and we'll see coverage of core games shown after the conference. This was for the mainstream press who will watch Sony's press conference and fly home. They get to write about Nintendo's success and the next big mainstream hit.
