Something tells me that there is more to come -- since it did not announce its full game schedule.

I find it interesting that those who are giving the lowest scores have PS3 or Xbox 360 as their main consoles.

I think Nintendo was more focused and more business-like than last year. It was on message and generally on-target. The only "strange" thing was the vitality sensor ... but that could also be something for the future and expanding the audience/usefulness of the console.

The problem is that some people want everything right now. Things will come if they are meant to come.

for god's sake, it was amazing, far better than MS (which was also good btw)

8.5

Very good overall. A few nice surprises that they managed to keep secret.

I was hoping for some new secret 3d party Wii games.

I agree with this, but mostly due to the glitchy non-announcement that NATAL was.

I'm going to judge this from a different point of view. Presentation wise, this was as bad as last year's performance. I think I was spoiled with the manner in which Microsoft presented their conference. Balls to the wall demos, videos, etc. and short on the talk. I liked it. Nintendo just spends far too much of the conference talking about blue ocean strategy for my tastes. It's fine for those not in tune with it, but I get their strategy and I don't watch E3 to hear more about new slogans and new surveys conducted. Also Nintendo speakers seem to milk time when they speak. That whole survey section could have been a lot shorter, just like the numbers section could have been last year.

As far as the announcements, some good stuff, but I definitely get the feeling that Nintendo takes the DS far more seriously software wise than they do the Wii. That's fine by me because I'm a DS whore for life, but considering the two best Nintendo Wii announcements are 2010 titles, Wii owners are still looking at a fall lineup consisting now of Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. DS. They produced a DS fall lineup three times larger than that at E3 and DS already had a significant fall lineup as it was. I just don't get what those Nintendo teams are working on nowadays that games aren't flowing faster out to the market. I mean Metroid is even outsourced to a third party studio.

For once Trestres is going to show up half glass empty and I'm probably going to agree with every word he says. Here's hoping for a stellar October conference.

P.S.-Don't get me wrong, I love Metroid: Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2 as much as anyone, but they're still 2010 titles and Nintendo in my mind has not created a significant fall lineup for my tastes on the Wii, and I'm sure for some others on here also. That's not to say they aren't making good business decisions. Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus are the real bread and butter, so obviously Nintendo is financially sound for the year, and NSMB Wii only helps matters. It's still thin in quantity though and Nintendo has far too many financially viable franchises to not be exploring more of them.

7/10
