I had a longer post typed up but the glorious 4th mouse button took it. Anyway, basic idea was I expected something much substantial, like more info on Legend of Zelda, or Metroid, or a new IP in general, or what have you. Maybe even updating an old IP that hasn't seen much love (hint, F-Zero! Starfox! Even Ice Climbers!). I knew they were doing a new 3D Mario game, etc. I own a Wii U and have arguably the top three games for it so far (Lego City, NSMBU, and Nintendoland). I haven't touched it in a while because there's no reason to. There were two LoZ's on offer today, so I think that example is unfair, but I agree that Nintendo have become more... insular. Today's conference wasn't courageous in the slightest. For sure next year, they need to be bolder with some of their other franchises. There's only so many times you can appeal to LoZ, Pokemon, Mario and SSBB before people realise its the same trick being pulled on them again and again. Nintendo did coem out more conservative with 3D mario this conference (I was expecting something way outt here like the Galaxies were), but it still looked good. Kart was pretty different from the previous karts, and DKCR.. i don't know what to make of it, but i'm expecting great things from Retro. As for new franchises, they did Show the Wonderful 101, bayneta and X, I'm not gona lie I expected something different from Retro and more info on titles like Yarn Yoshi and FE x SMT, but what we did get i thought was a good balance between old and new.
