Disappointing conference. The games look good but they are all rehashes. No new IP at all. They wasted so much time to discuss little differences.

This is Mario but he now has a cat costume.
This is Mario Kart but now you can drive on walls.
This is Bayonetta but now she has short hair.
This is Donkey Kong but now he has fluffy fur.

No shit Sherlock, we could see that in the trailer before, no point wasting another 5 minutes pointing this shit out.

I have probably never seen Nintendo struggle this much coming up with new ideas.


I feel like Nintendo is completely out of ideas of how to advance with the Wii U.


But I'm also not paying for online so I guess I am stuck with them and PC.

Edit: On the bright side - 5 player co-op for The Wonderful 101, awesome!

I wanted something else, but I can not really complain... DKCR was amazing, and this seems to be even better!

Could'nt be more disapointed. A total waste of talent. I was wondering why we kept hearing about some talented ppl leaving Retro. Now I wonder no more.

Retro is capable of making great hardcore games with immersive worlds and good story. And Nintendo ask them to give us a 2D platformer?! DKCR was 3years ago, DKCR3D was a month ago!!!!! What the hell is wrong with them? This is the biggest waste of talent I've seen since M$ bought Rare.

Then what? When Monolith is done with X they will ask them to make a Kirby game?! DAMN I'M SO DISAPOINTED.

Last year I was super disapointed with Nintendo because of the lack of Retro, but atleast last year I could still wonder/dream/hope on what they were working on. Now it's over, 3years of silence from the studio who gave me my favorite trilogie of all time just for a 2D platformer so I can forget my Retro made Metroid, Star Fox or new IP for atleast the next 3to5years.

my first reaction is yes

I was expecting Prime 4 or some kind of Mass Effect game. Or for a third option a similar Banjo-Kazooie game.
Pretty dissapointed.

Yes, totally disappointed. :(

the biggest disspointment is mario kart 8 being a 2014 release and no major announcement. the rest was great.

Where did it say dk tropical freeze was a retro developed game, Iwata didn't say.

Very excited. Me and the girlfriend beat DKCR this year, and am looking forward to playing the new one later this year.

Yes and no...
If this new DK installment is as good as DKC2 then I won't be disappointed...
But I have a hard time getting really excited for a game we all knew was coming eventually...
