I am at work so listened to it on my headphones without really getting a chance to view much of the stream. I really couldn't understand a lot of what he said but after every game I kept hearing what I thought to be "2014".

Based on that I would say it was very disappointing. At a time when Nintendo need games to sell consoles consumers must wait yet many more months for the really big system sellers. 2014 could mean December next year.

I see this as far more negative than positive. To be honest I see nothing positive in it.

Hope I am proved wrong.

I put 2. 1 for Bayonetta 2 and 1 for X.



really no metroid...?
Now I remember what really annoys me about Nintendo.
They just sit on all these ips that everyone wants.
Metroid 3ds would've sold me on a 3ds tomorrow.

i was waiting for retro studios game :(


They showed Retro's game. Did you pay attention?


They showed a new Donkey Kong Country, but who knows who makes it? By the way: Retro hired many people in the last two years, surely not to make DKC

Obviously the new Retro title was not ready to be shown now :(

Retro makes it: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/11/e3-2013-retro-developing-donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze?abthid=51b733bd9a6fe8a11700000d



7.5. Very solid in showing loads of gameplay but lacking the umph.

+ MK8
+ X
+ Bayonetta
+ Wonderful 101
+ Decent 3rd Party list (for a Nintendo Console)
+ WW

- Retro's game (love DK, but wasn't time for that)
- More of the same
- Mario 3D World. Rewatched it, graphics look solid, but SMG wowed us 6 years ago, this is just not a Wii U Mario game.
- No New IP's! Success of the Wii and DS was built on that, wth?!

Again it's better than what most are saying, but we expected more and we deserve more. I hope there's another ND this summer. Wii U no where near the 3DS right now.

I am disappointed. Gave it a 6.0.
'Mario Kart in 2014' and '3D Mario' were a huge disappointment.

More Donkey Kong Country is great, but we want RETRO to make more "west oriented" games.

I cant see Wii U selling more than 6 million LTD at the end of this year.

It looked like 2011 all over again except Mario Kart 8 is next year.

I was hoping for a Mario 64 style game but maybe the hd 3D land will be good.

Mario Kart 8 looks like a fusion of F-zero and Mario Kart 7.  Looks good so far.

W101 still looks good.

I was actually embarrassed about the Bayonetta crotch shot opening at a Nintendo Direct.  Kids watched this.

I've never liked any Smash Brothers game but fans will enjoy it and Mega Man is really cool.

Donkey Kong looked good but why not a full open world game for Wii U?

The stream on the official website was crap. 

I will reserve judgement until after the week is over incase anything else is announced.

For now I wish I had waited on purchasing this system.

I would be embarassed if they hadn't done it. People thought Nintendo may tone down the sexual innuendo's before. Now it's clear they don't obstruct development in any way. IIRC the ND was rated PEGI 18. After seeing this logo parents shouldn't let their kids watch it live.



I thin I understand now why they didn't do a conference. If this is all they had to show the conference would have bombed.

Is there a 3DS direct or something? I want to know about all the games coming to 3DS.



 

I do still have some hope though. Iwata started the direct by saying is was to "update you on games we will be showing you at E3."

That may just be his wording, but I am holding out that if the game was not going to be at E3, they weren't talking about it in the direct.

We will see...
