Well that was a disappointment :(

The opening was great then it just went downhill from there. They barely talked about anything I wanted to hear, like Miiverse, first party titles on the WiiU, and 3DS titles. I understand that they only had an hour to work with but they could have spent it more wisely, they showed and talked about things we already seen before. (Ex:The New Mario Brothers) They ended it with NintendoLand which looked meh. Just a online hub where you can play minigames with friends, looks fun but nothing WOW.

The 30-minute preview they had on sunday was more engaging and got me more excited than todays conference.

I have to say....Nintendo was positive but could of had so much more to show. Granted they only had an hour, but the WiiU is their newborn baby and wanted to cradle it a little while longer.

At least there's Part 2 of Nintendo's conference tomorrow...for the 3DS mostly :P

They had a year. If they want to convince people to get it they need to explain the full potential of the console NOW since its coming out this year supposedly. I expect great things from the console but Nintendo needs to show more for everyone.

If Reggie didnt spend so much time talking to everyone they could have shown so much more :I They're showing more today also on the Nintendo E3 page later on.

Well, after what I seen on Twitter, I can say (in my opinion) this conference was a good one, the better of the big three by a bit (sorry Micorsoft). The NintendoLand thing was pretty cool, and the Batman game was awesome from what I've seen of it.

Yes they should've went a bit longer with the live conference, but hey, there's a part two, and it's for the 3DS, which, since I am a proud owner of one, is intrigued for it.

Buuuuut the backlash from it, online....man it is a mix of entertainment/immaturity/sadness. But hey that's just me.

Started off awesome with Pikmin 3. Then it was just broken promises of not having any boring stuff, then it was an awesome looks at Mario Bros. U. And then ports happened, casual Ubisoft games, and then a Nintendo minigame collection which may not even be a free game like Wii Sports.

Not overly exciting I have to say, sure as hell didn't sell me on the WiiU. Hopefully the 3DS one tomorrow wont be awful and they have some actual announcements. Otherwise I pretty much already got what I wanted from the 3DS at E3 (a launch window for Paper Mario, though a proper date would have been nice :/).

Urgh no thanks. It already went on longer than it needed to.

Animal Crossing 3DS info. That's all I wanted from Nintendo this year and hopefully we'll hear about it tomorrow.
