    They started strong with Pikmin 3 but after that it was just kind of lame. I'm disappointed Nintendo.

    No price, date or specs for a system realising later this year. Really? Think the boys may have to pack their bags for TGS this year.

    Nintendo said weeks ago they weren't talking about pricing or release date.

    Ok didn't realise that. I just remember when that was the norm for a console release.

    I get the feeling after having to drop the 3DS price they just aren't confident about what they can charge especially that when they commisioned the WiiU tech they were probably riding the crest of the Wii's popularity.

    Yep, I'm going neutral too. So disappointed.

    This is so weird. I thought you guys were Nintendo-supporters because of all the things you've experienced, not their current state.

    But, whatever. For reference, my name is blue because I like the color blue.

    The 3DS line-up was pretty strong, though, even if it was short.

    So was there anything worthwhile besides Pikmin? I started watching when they were playing some Mario Party mini game or something.

    Ohh boy, this was bad. Looks like more gimmick stuff. Both Rayman and Mario did the same trick about the touch screen user helping the other users beat the level. Also looks like a lot of games will be using a wii mote. That means more waggle. Then they show year old games with some new touchscreen stuff and people clap.

    What else did Nintendo show on this post-conference stream? I just tuned in and they're showing off Batman. Are they just going over all the stuff from the conference?

    I know, don't worry!
    But the thing here is that I'm not feeling like going through a Wii again.
    There were more breaks in games than in today's tv shows, we're talking half years and whole years before there's stuff out worth buying!

    I don't think that could of been much worse. Too much social media talk and not enough games. Too bad the stuff they showed outside of Paper Mario and Pikmin 3 looked boring.

    Other than the New Super Mario Bros. U and maybe Lego City Stories, meh. I'm buying a Wii U as soon as possible, but there needs to be more than what they showed. 
     
    And I'm very disappointed Ubisoft didn't pop up and say Watch Dogs will be on the Wii U. That would've made my day.

    The saddest part is, even though Nintendo is not getting any more in touch with fans, everyone is going to keep supporting them (as we always do) and make their misguided ventures a commercial success.

    So they'll keep doing it. :(
