I'm a little iffy about the lack of Wii games announced, but hopefully they will still come. I'd like to see XB and TLS just as much as anyone, but as much as there is the possibility that they won't be at E3 at all, there's also the possibility that both will be announced when we're least expecting it: remember what happned to Tales of Graces F and Dragon Quest VI? Neither were announced at E3, but we still got confirmation for both eventually. Maybe I'll just go by that thinking.

Hey people, there are trailers for Wii games here,

Kirby Wii
Mario Party 9

and others

Why didn't they show these during the presentation?

You do know New Super Mario Brothers Mii is for Wii, right?

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

What does that have to do with what I said? Where has Nintendo stated that it's for the Wii? So far they've said it's a tech demo for the Wii U. Looking for Nintendo official sites nowhere it is listed for the Wii. And on their E3 Network site it is listed on the Wii U page. Gametrailers made a mistake, or they put it under Wii since, they don't have a Wii U category.

Hey sorry, Gametrailers are stupid. Its actually a demo isn't it?

LOL has anyone seen these two gems of information?
Third parties are already trolling Wii U and it's got at least a year before launch!

Seriously, the SEGA thing especially is just f***in' hilarious!

edit: I'm not trying to diss the system, it may be awesome once it launches... but this reveal is so incompetent it's not even funny! I'm not even sure if this is better than announcing no games whatsoever for the platform, as this just has the potential to lead to disappointment.

Basically what they're saying is that the footage of 3rd party Wii U games was actually footage of games on competing platforms, which may or may not show up on Wii U (but will show up on competing platforms..). Not only does that make Nintendo's presentation lose points, it actually gives points to Sony and MS!!

It's like saying: "Since we haven't started making the new Smash Bros. yet, here are some games you can play on your ps360 while you wait!

Wii U third party sizzle-reel composed of 360, ps3 and PC footage!

When Nintendo showed off a reel of major third-party games currently in development for its newly announced console, the Wii U, the footage wasn't actually playing on Wii U hardware. Nintendo of America prez Reggie Fils-Aime casually admitted as much in a post-presser interview with GameTrailers, excusing it by saying, "We're talking a year away from when the system's gonna launch" -- a hard to argue point, considering developers probably need some time to, ya know, actually make games for it.

We're hoping to see some actual third-party game footage soon, but aren't exactly expecting it in the upcoming weeks. Nintendo's Wii U is expected to launch at some point in 2012, with Nikkei predicting the latter half of the year.

No problem, I get a little tense when I see misinformation. It was stated that all the software for the WiiU shown from Nintendo during the presentation are prototypes.

The funniest part of all that would be when people reacted to that third party showreel by saying the graphics didn't look as good as their PS3/360 equivalents. And then we learn that it was PS3/360 footage, talk about egg on their faces....

I'm no psychologist, but I bet that would provide an interesting case study in how people view things.

So, basically, did Ninty give 3rd parties permission to poop on its cereals? This is...  WEIRD!!!

Just wanted to post a reminder to anyone who doesn't remember what happened last year with the 3DS.
I might do this again closer to the show if it doesn't seem too futile.

REMEMBER PEOPLE - NO ENTHUSIASM!

Less Hype for Cafe = Lower Launch Price


Put it on a sticky note above your monitor if you have to

Trying to stop hype? Might as well try to stop a 300 km/h train from moving over you.

Huh... either I'm Super Man or stopping that train is a lot easier than it looks...
