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???

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??

The Kirby trailer, at the least, is fantastic. Skyward Sword trailer is nice too, of course.

why are people so shocked at the lack of Wii stuff??? I said Ninty was going to do this a while ago, but then that turned into "im anti Ninty". Im just not that naive. They have to support their new products, and its not like their drowning in dev studios

Did you catch Kuriboe's Shoe in that Kirby trailer?

There were a couple of new Wii games shown on the floor itself

Kirby, Rhythm Heaven, Fortune Street, Mario Party 9, Wii Play Motion were all there.

And hopefully they won't be the only ones that'll be there.

Kirby looks good. New Skyward Sword trailer just BLEW MY MIND. Looks like it's gonna be an AMAZING game!!

But I have to say overall, as an owner of a Wii only, I found the presentation quite disappointing. Announcing new hardware is always cool but the main attraction should always be software. I'm not falling for that same trick again where - like with the wiimote - the 'possible new experiences' are what sell the console... The Wii had a lot of potential new games/ways to interact shown when it came out, but most of the ideas that were shown never left the drawing board, or were only realized as mini-games.

If you are an owner of a 3DS then I think Nintendo did a phenomenal job, with so many games coming this year, and with so many cool features like multi-player in starfox and kid icarus.

But how many people own a 3DS? like, 5 million?? VS. about 90 million Wii owners who were shown nothing? Is there no such thing as recognition (better yet, gratitude) from a company to its audience for giving it its most successful console ever??

This essentially (for me at least) contradicts everything Nintendo have ever said about 'being about the software'... To me the impression was obviously that 'software is a means to sell hardware' and not the other way around as it should be... That feels like a betrayal of a pretty fundamental value to me...

I sincerely hope some deeper games are announced for Wii before the week is over.

Kirby Wii
Zelda Skyward Sword
The Last Story
Xenoblade
Mario & Sonic Summer Olympics
Mario Party 9

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.

Still no help for the Klingon, as Data put it. Did I say something about region?

No there isnt, welcome to the real world.

and Pikmin 3 was shafted once again, I really thought that would be the swan song game for the Wii along with DQX

I'm really worried Pikmin will be pushed back to the Wii U. I bought my Wii mainly for Pikmin, if it's delayed to Wii U, then I really doubt I'm getting a Wii U in spite.

I noticed a lot of Japanese games, on all consoles weren't talked about. Maybe DQX will be announced at Tokyo Game Show? However XenoBlade and The Last Story deserved an E3 press showing.
