This is significantly better than Microsofts conference, and I don't think this conference is anything special.

Nintendo was founded in Kyoto, Japan in 1889 as a manufacturer of hanafuda playing cards. The company went through several small niche businesses before becoming a video game company.
E3 2009 - Nintendo Press Conference Discussion
watching them present these "hardcore" games, makes me feel like i am watching a press conference from 5 years ago.
Great conference, blew Microsoft out of the water, in my opinion. Admittedly that wasn't at all hard to do.
I think it's also that there was a lot of stuff I expected out of MS that they didn't deliver. I didn't expect anything out of Nintendo, and they delivered a few interesting things.
It felt like MS was moving away from gamers while Nintendo was trying to move closer. Even though MS is far closer right now.
So overall my rankings so far : MS = 2/5, EA = 2/5, Ubisoft = 0/5, Nintendo = 3/5
Okay, Nintendo's conference kicked ass. Metroid game, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario RPG game, and most importantly GOLDEN SUN!
" Interesting, they lost Retro and are having Team Ninja make Metroid now. Away from 1st person Western style to 3rd person more appealing to Japanese. "
" *shits his pants twenty times over super mario galaxy 2* "
That is how you do a press conference! Thank god they got it right this year. When this picture showed, I said to myself... "badass!"
To me the highlight was definitely Golden Sun DS. But Metroid looks pretty interesting too. Horrible name though. "Metroid: Other M" - What?
I don't understand the hype behind Metroid and Mario, i really just don't care. What is it about those games that draw you guys in? I'm more of a mature gamer, i like my violence, but i also like some lighthearted fun aswell, but these franchises just elude me. I'm interested to see your responses.
Yep. This conference was good enough for me to keep my Wii. But where was Virtual Console on DSi. Or even DSiWare games? I think that Nintendo really missed out on those.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 and new Metroid are absolute 100% total WINS from me. Rest of the conference is irrelevant. They are ALL I needed.
