Doesn't Nintendo show games only when they're close to release?

True, but even then they're still holding back. I'm sure we'll see more as the week wears on (Punch-Out!, Pikmin 3, Fatal Frame, and many more).

I love you, Soriku, even if you almost exclusively play JRPGs. =D

TP was debuted in 2004, it released in 2006.
Mario Galaxy and Smash were debuted in 2005, released in 2007.
WiiMusic was debuted in 2005, releasing 2008.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Is that what they've done for every E3, not show off big games?

I knew there would be no Zelda they can't play it out.

I was in 4th grade when I first played A link to the past. When ocarina of time came out I was in 11th. Now that's a wait.

Those don't count. They haven't established this strategy until recently, not 3 years ago.

Edit: Brawl was 2008.

Soriku:

2008 wasn't that long ago, last time I checked...

So then I ask, where was that core game that us hardcore Nintendo Fanboys would want for this Holiday?

That doesn't matter Soriku. E3's big media presentation is the place to show off the up coming games. Nintendo only showed "Wii" branded games.

Notable was Animal Crossing with a freaking wired microphone. wtf. Sure it can be used by whole room, but that also means it picks up all the background noise and its freaking wired. Wii has 7 bluetooth channels, 4 are used by controllers. Why the F couldn't they use a couple to have 1 and 2 player wireless headsets.

Wii Music look like a big bag o shit.

Wii Sports 2 looked quickly boring. To acurately sell the new 1:1 motion it needs a better game. SW:Clone wars dueling should have been that game.

Where's Kirby, Kid Icarus, etc. Why not playable 3rd party games? Seriously, I better see some more "real" games by the time E3 ends or I'm gonna be pissed.
