Why wasn't this shown at the Nintendo conference?

Some of Nintendo's marketing decisions lately (e.g. not showing this in E3, not having any announcements regarding Xenoblade and LS in the US) make me think someone there is not exactly in touch with their audience.

Well Nintendo had alot to show. I mean their main emphasis is on selling 3DS units and preparing the market to buy WiiU. Fact is keeping the Wii alive is not high on their priority list. Wii may still be selling but software sales are lacking and support for the platform is beginning to dwindle.

The same reason Nintendo switched Pikmin3 over the WiiU. The Wii just isn't a priority right now, Nintendo had alot to show at the show the fact that a new trailer was released at all is good news. Nintendo sees the 3DS's bad position and the possibility that Wii owners won't upgrade to WiiU as the biggest issues for the company. Can you really blame them for not devoting more of the show to the Wii?

I really don't understand why this wasn't shown in the conference...

It looks amazing, I just hope it isn't as easy as the few Kirby platformers I've played in the past

I agree with your analysis but I also find it rather ironic.

Nintendo are supposedly about the games, with hardware merely being a facilitator. In that respect having two platforms with huge install bases of users who are still interested in buying games for their current platforms should be a godsend, not an issue...

Because its on Wii.

Agree! Becasue it is on Wii!

How can u introduce a new system and not spending most of teh time on it?

Said so they should have had a 3 hours conference!

This looks pretty good. I just wish it wasn't such a loner.
