Judging from the reactions in this thread and others, it looks like many Nintendo fans have finally come to the realisation that the Wii U is actually a GC successor, not a Wii successor. Yes, people. That is what it means to be disappointed. Get used to it, because Nintendo is stuck with this brick for at least five years.

I am ahead of the curve, so I can look at these games and say that I am looking forward to most of them. Smash is trash, like usual. Still no Kim Possible, still no buy.

Probably the most accurate thing Ive read on the internet in a long time.  Not necessarily a bad thing.  The Wii was an exception, but this is who Nintendo has been, at it's core, since the N64 days.  Their first-party titles are more of the same, sure, but they're still strong and will likely be very fun to play. 

It's horribly inaccurate. Sure there are parts of the U that are reminiscent of the cube, but what about DKCR:JF, SM3DW, Wii Party and Wii Fit U are??

The U is exactly what it was set out to be: a deeper and wider experience.

The point is that these games are the reason people have been buying Nintendo's consoles for many years now,  but also the reason that people don't buy them.  These are Nintendo's bread and butter titles, they continue to make them in the same way that we see COD year after year, and the same people continue to eat them up generation after generation.  But in terms of the overall video game market they only have limited appeal.



It's all about the game.

I really like the Nintendo Direct and I was not dissapointed by much.

Pokémon X/Y news was good.

Mario 3D was a bit dissapointing, big reason for that is because the levels will be timed, which I on one hand do not like. The multiplayer announcement was good and the new cat suit is adorable.

Mario Kart 8 looked really good, but I am not the biggest fan of the series, but it will be worth checking it out.

Wind Waker HD was stunning, I can't say any more than that.

Wonderful 101 looks better and the multiplayer is a very welcome addition to the game, which I'm happy about.

Bayonetta 2 looked really fun and great. Her new design is also better than her last one and the game looked beutiful.

X. Yeah, not much to say, besides that it is just amazing from what we have seen. Can't wait for it!

Super Smash Bros looks awesome and I like that they are different on both systems. Also like the designs and the addition of Megaman. He must be fun to play as!

 

I hope that we will see a new 3DS direct or something. I want to see more of them.

In conclusion, I will buy a Wii U this year!

So I just re-watched it. Some of my rage is gone. The quality is much better in HD. Soo...

Positives:
-Mariokart 8 looks excellent.
-Mario 3D World looked solid, polished and - with the locked camera - accessible. 4 player is a great addition.
-WWHD looked beautiful, with tremendous improvements.
-X was an absolute stunner, some of the best graphics anywhere. Can be sure the gameplay will be solid too.

Cons:
-No bombshells. Nothing.
-No price drops, nothing to spur the hardware.
-Mario 3D is very safe, very bland.
-Retro's doing another DK. Seriously? We just had one. And a Mario. And another Mario is coming. It looks like a solid game, but come one. Variety is needed.
-Nothing exciting in the Wii-game category.
-Third party support is truly poor. There are some solid games, but nothing new. Without COD and some others, WiiU truly can't compete with PS4 or X1.

Nintendo really had a chance here to grab the market. Instead, it really looks like Wii U is moving into "secondary" console status, or - like Gamecube - one mostly for kids. Good games were shown and I think Wii U will do OK, but this e3 was not what Wii U needed. It needed more.

Megaman isn't a bomshell?

It doesn't change the fact that the U is exactly what it set itself out to be: deeper and wider. Calling it any different is BS.

Why would it be?

Sad there was no price drop. Really loved the X and Bayonetta 2 video they showed.

Megaman isn't a bomshell?

Not even close.  Megaman's just a character in a game.  Few will buy Smash for Megaman, fewer still will buy Wii U for Megaman in Smash.

Bombshells:  Retro makes amazing new game!  GTA coming to Wii U!  Mario 3D is like nothing you've seen before!!  Wii U gets a price cut...tomorrow!!!

Even the Sonic exclusivity was somewhat of a bomshell.  This direct had little if anything shocking/amazing.  Titles like Kart and Mario and DK were at best solid but at worst unoriginal.  I guess the biggest thing close to a bomshell is that DK is coming early this fall.  That's quick and exciting if you really needed a new DK this soon after the last one, and after NSMBU.
