I was hoping for even something like SNES remix or something surprising to be placed on VC... zip.

Yeah, glad I didn't watch it live.  Cliff's notes version seemed boring, and it didn't seemed like they announced much.  Turns out they didn't.  General thoughts (in no particular order):

 

STar Fox 0 - Seeing Star Fox was nice.  I'm a little more sold on the game mechanics now.  While it looked fun, it didn't look great visually.  Plenty of other games on wii u put it to shame in the graphics department.  Why no online multiplayer?

 

Xenoblade X -  I'm at the point where Trailers mean nothing to me on this game.  I'll buy it day one, a trailer doesn't hype me.

 

SMTxFE.  Would it have killed them to put some dang subtitles in there?  I can't understand moonspeak.

 

FE Fates.  Trailer looked good.  Nice to get a final name.  Need more info on pricing and packaging.  Only other question I have is, "will you actually kill the named people from the other kingdom as part of the game, or will they just end up joining you anyway?"

 

Zelda triforce heroes - Now I liked four swords more than most people, so as far as I'm concerned, this falls in the "pleasant surprise" category.  Now amazing, but fine by me.  Actually has online multiplayer, which is saying something.

 

Metroid Prime: Fed Force - Similar to four swords, I enjoyed Hunters more than most people apparently.  As far the game play is concerned, this also falls in "pleasant surprise".  However, my god those graphics seemed terrible.  Really hope they work on that.  I don't always harp on graphics, but even I did a double take and wondered if it was actually a 3ds game.  Just seemed really poor.  The main kick in the gut for this was that it seemed to take the place of a major new metroid such as for wii u. 

 

Yarn yoshi/skylanders/animal crossing/everything else - dont care.  These are not big reveals worth taking up e3 time. 

 

Pacing wasn't great.  Too much talking by devs that should have been saved for treehouse.  Earthbound beginnings and the smash direct should have been lumped in here.  There were no bombs dropped, and Zelda U wasn't present.  This would be okay for any other direct, but for an E3 direct, it ultimately flopped.  At least the other people's E3 shows could get their fans hyped.

The hype was real on my part, but a little underwhelming. But nonetheless, I saw some quality titles I liked, such as Star Fox, Yarn Yoshi, "Super" Mario Maker; AC Happy Homes (which I am getting) AC Festival (which I was completely caught off guard, but willing to give it a chance).

And Metroid Prime Federation was the 3ds Metroid title they were hinting at all last year and early this year? I was thinking 2.5D side scroller Metroid (again, I'm willing to give this a whirl)

I kinda feel like Nintendo purposely held back on big name titles for next years NX announcement. But that's just my wacky conspiracy.

Oh yeah and X is not out until December

Basically, Nintendo should have showed absolutely everything they have at the event. And if they did... Well then, RIP Wii U.

Wow. 

Nintendo pls. 

I'm not going to overreact and say it was the worst ever or anything but it was bad.

Some games look fun, most don't interest me. 

Really conflicted on this.

Also, Starfox looks awesome and I will be buying it but...

 

...was it just me or were the graphics quite poor compared to other Wii U games? I hope they polish it a bit before it's released.

 

well if you know anything about nintendo development graphics come last. so I also am hoping that this game is polished more it looks good for what it is but doesnt stand up to other 1st party titles. Funny as it is being developed by platinum. Someone said it look like this was running on W101 engine. I can actually see that now after watching a couple videos... interesting enough both of those games have Wii roots so....

Starfox looks clean and crisp. It's not going to wow you but it's not bad just not impressive. Also Still a few months and trailers are often from old builds. Like XCX much improved from E3 to last November.
