What happened to The Last Story and Xenoblade?

And DQX, Pikmin 3 and that Japanese ARPG game, forgot the name...

I seriously hope they aren't shafted.

Edit: Pandora's Tower, it's called.

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

What really amazed me is that not only were their no Wii game announcements, but no true Wii U game announcements either! Just what the hell is Nintendo doing with themselves? There were a few vague mentions of third party games which is nice to see, but nothing from Nintendo themselves.

Gamewise, the focus was strictly 3DS, which I'm still not even sure I want.

I have a feeling things aren't going down too well in the Nintendo HQ. They can't be this poorly mismanaged simply on principle.

I think Nintendo realized that if they support the older platforms theirs less incentive to upgrade. If Nintendo keeps dishing out Wii titles then consumers have less reason to upgrade. Also Nintendo has limited dev studios and with WiiU coming next year they have to get software ready. Also with all the 3DS games they need to develop it leaves very little time to tinker on Wii and DS.

In the end I think a large reason 3DS is suffering is because consumers don't see the need to upgrade yet. Example if Nintendo had launched Pokemon Black and White on 3DS rather then DS sales would have been far larger. Had Nintendo ditched DS last year and given 3DS more software at launch then we might have seen a different launch for 3DS.

I'm alittle dissapointed that Pikmin 3 and Vitality Sensor never came into being. Maybe Pikmin3 got ported to 3DS never loose hope. But in all honesty it makes sense for Nintendo to be bailing on Wii and DS. Hopefully consumers will see the need to upgrade, if not Nintendo is screwed!

I don't care if Reggie didn't talk about the new games, I'm just glad I'll be getting Professor Layton and the Last Specter, Super Fossil Fighters , and Kirby Mass Attack!

Not enough?

Are you sure about these?

Yes, and if I'm wrong you can sue me.

You're going to get sued. Khan and I are in the U.S., where those have not been confirmed to be coming over, and which aren't even mentioned on their press kit.

They will announced more game later on in other events.

Wii U was a big news I guess!



Switch!!!

Yup, that conference pretty much confirms that they've abandoned the Wii now. Skyward Sword is its swang song.

Not an amazing lineup by any means, and not as good as last year, but it'll serve.

The weird thihng about Nintendo's conference is that like 60% of the games they have on show weren't in their press conference, just their website.



I don't get it... I just watched a replay of the Nintendo conference on their site. Unless I missed something, Wii wasn't even mentioned during the whole conference! (Zelda SS and a golden remote being mentioned out of context is all I saw...)

Did I black out and miss something??

I mean somebody who didn't know any better might have watched the whole thing and not even notice Wii existed as a Nintendo product.... WTF???



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

What do you mean? The Wiimote was front and center through much of the presentation. Only now you're going to hook it up with an iPad instead of a TV.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but Wiimote is not the same as Wii console... that's like saying gamecube still lives because the Wii is compatible with its controller...
Was footage of a single game for Wii actually shown at all??
