I think they should do whatever it takes to get the casual gamer on board this E3. Since E3 is more for people who are not on gaming forums, then that is where they get their gaming news. I hope it works for them. Core gamers already know all about the Wii U. So we are good. It is them that Nintendo needs to sell the system on. As we saw with that message Nintendo sent to Wii owners.


Its not E3 where they need to do that. Its on talk shows!

Get the new Wii Fit or Wii Sports on TV. Let the expanded market know Wii U is for them, not for the zombie hunting teenager.

Your well thought out post and excellent verbal skills have really deepened my appreciation of the Montreal Canadiens.

No games is obviously hyperbole. It is concerning however, as it could suggest one of the big ones (SSB, Kart and 3D Mario) has been delayed. I was hoping for all three this year.

I'm sorry to tell you this but Nintendo said a long ago that the next Smash was scheduled for 2014, not before...

When it comes to the side discussion regarding if Nintendo will be present at E3 2014, I actually don't know if that will happen. If the reaction to the experiment that will be this E3 is good enough, I can see them keeping it from the time being.



Please excuse my bad English.

Nope. From june last year: http://wiiudaily.com/2012/06/super-smash-bros-wii-u-co-developed-namco-bandai/

And with the problems Sakurai is having with his hand, I don't think they'll be able to rush it. But we should expect a trailer, maybe 2 (one for each version).

Since you seem to be trying very hard to avoid logic, let's change the focus.

Why did Sony hold E3 2012? They had no new HW. No games that were different than the ones they usually do. Why bother?

I alredy said it is a mistake from Nintendo not hold a conference... I'm saying they decided that because they didn't have enough news to share in a big conference.

And Sony E3 2012: The Last of US, Beyond, God of War: Ascension, Wonderbook, etc.


?

Mario 3D, Mario Kart and Smash Bros are bigger than those.

And let's not forget Bayonetta 2, X, SMTxFE(maybe), WWHD, Yoshi's Land, Sonic LW. That's without taking in count few surprises like the Miyamoto game, Retro's game, the new NFC IP, Wii Sports sequel and the little third party multiplatforms.

They have enough games.

Psh, who needs a press conference when you can just let the games speak for themselves by allowing the public to play them. ;)

I was hoping for eShop demos. Instead, BB demos...

It doesn't do much good advertising to the few people who already have Wii Us, wouldn't you agree? =)

Well yes. Maybe ambassadors deserves to also get eShop demos, apart from the BB ones.

Well yah have to understand that they're using lot's of resources already with the Best Buy thing, which again is way better than eShop demos. Yeah they may have been able to do both still but for all we know it could have been one or the other. Besides there will be the normal eShop demos for some games near their release that only Wii U owners can play so it all evens out.
