Nintendo's E3 press conference this year was a very mixed bag. What were we all hoping for? Among various fan favourite "title in HD" wish lists ( Donkey Kongs, Metroids, Star Foxs), we all wanted one other thing; clarity behind the purpose, target demographic and capabilities of nintendo's new home system the WiiU. Instead I believe that fans, media and the general public left the show without these aspects throughly explained.

Previous E3 we were told that The WiiU would be something for the true nintendo fan. Something that the showing of Pikmin 3 seemed to start the show off well with, however, by telling us that the fans would be excited last year Nintendo raised the bar high for our hopes, Everyone expected something else to go along with it, since pikmin3 really wasn't a suprise.

The only real suprise game coming out of Nintendo's conference specifically was Nintendo Land. But this also sent mixed messages; is it a game for the true nintendo fan fwith some fan favourite character themed minigames, or a way for the casual audience and gamers alike to understand the appeal of Nintendo's new controller? Hands on impressions have indicated that the games are fun, but do not truely indicate the potential of the controller with the same "wow" factor the the original wii sports had.

Nintendo's next conference really must cement with its targeted demographic, whatever that truely ends up being, why the console for them and what it truely offers, Nintenod really missed an opportunity to explain miverse in a way the enable people to understand as to why it is a neseccary and or a great idea, the concept is intriguing, but intrigue is one thing, but this close to lauch surely that intrigue should start to manifest into belief.

Next E3 we truely need to see exactly where the are going with there online strategy, as well as see some blockbuster 1st party and 3rd party games, 3rd party new and exclusive IP's will be absolutely necessary to ensure that software sales stay healthy and do not stagnate like we saw them do with the wii to an extent.

What would you guys and girls like to see come out of nintendo's E3 and more importantly, what NEEDS to come out of it?

They're going to have to do alot because none of the big 3rd party games of 2013 have been announced for the wii U yet

Watch Dogs
Star Wars 1313
Remember Me
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zero
LR:Final Fantasy XIII
Bioshock Infinite (rumoured to be coming)

1st party titles will be there I'm sure. A retro title, A new mario kart, a new 3D mario, Mario Party, Maybe a new IP. But without the 3rd party support the WIi U will be the same position people have forecast.

I don't see Super Smash bros being ready to show till at least TGS 2013 and zelda not till the following E3. 

What I want to come out of Nintendo's next E3 is irrelevant. Nintendo "NEED" to show the masses what they want to see, rather than trying to please those who plan to buy Star Fox and Metroid no matter how they turn out. They simply don't need to secure Nintendo fans.

For the sake of it though, I would like to see a new F-Zero before anything else. Because that's one first party title that may or may not actually be released. And even though I find it very likely to be released, I have been waiting for a new F-Zero throughout the Wii's entire lifespan.

Finally getting some details on that title would be a nice gesture to those (few?) who have been patiently waiting for all these years.

E3 has become almost irrelevant.

you should, instead, be waiting patiently the nintendo direct events that pop out of thin air.

after this E3 they can't not do a good one next year. they will most likely show a 3D Mario at least

I'm still damaged from this years E3 though :P

You do know that this E3 was the last for Nintendo, right?  At least I'm pretty sure it was the last.

E3? No, they won't be clarifying anything important at E3.

E3's relevance for Nintendo has been fading for the past few years, ever since the advent of Nintendo Direct. Depending on how crazy things are in September and if we get one more major Nintendo Direct before the next E3, E3's relative importance may shrink to nothing.

I'm looking forward to Nintendo Direct, not E3, as much.

Why do some people talk like E3 is the only time Nintendo makes announcements?

Tomb Raider, too.  That Bioshock rumor I thought was debunked.  Could still happen, though.  If they get an out-sourced studio to do the port.
