A supposedly lousy E3 conference is not going to stop me from wanting and admiring the Wii U.

[Crackkat]

two things happened here
1) nintendo's investors blatantly forced nintendo to show something that will make money, so they were forced to show wii fit u and sing and all that casual stuff

2) nintendo showed what's coming this year, NOT next year

NOTE: until black ops 2 gets announced, we all know the 3rd party announcements aren't over (they may continue even after blops 2)

I am still very excited. But the launch lineup is so... Bland. Sure, we have games that look promising from third parties (ZombiU), but I was fully expecting a first party launch lineup like no other.

They haven't even announced their launch line up yet. Why would you even assume that what they showed was their launch line up.

The conference wasn't horrible. It was just mediocre. The thing is, after the amazing E3's we've had from Nintendo the past couple of years, mediocre just isn't what we were expecting.

Though, I'm still pretty excited for Wii U. I just wish they could have shown a glimpse of more of their core games so that I'd have something to be really hyped up for. We all know that these games are there, and E3 didn't change that. I still know I'll be right there day one when Retro's game is released for example, no matter how late Nintendo decides to announce it.

Im still getting it day 1. The system we know is good (Nintendo Direct) Just E3 sucked. However we still have those 3 Wii U launch title Mystery games to find out and Retros game. So it could still be saved. Not recovered 100% from the fail of E3 but those 3 games could save people from getting upset.

It was horrible. Someone else on this topic stated that investors must had influenced Nintendo on what to display.... That has to be the case. Nintendo has been under fire for the last year they had so much to prove... They had to sell people on this console. Everyone knows it was a failure of a conference. Developers, journalist, analyst, gamer especially the core. There are so many Nintendo is doomed articles on the net right now it's not even funny... And yes some of those might be exaggerated but why do they have a reason to even assume that? Because nintendo gave them one. Is amazing to me Reggie who likes to talk big and bad let this happen. The people they marketed this conference to don't even watch e3.... The people that watch e3 can care less about sing, wii fit, and just dance 4. Those are games you can market in commercials and they will do just fine for that audience. The people that watch e3 are core gamers that want to see the best graphics, new iP's, and reason for them to get excited about staying up all night gaming. Nintendo really does need a change at the top.

It did fail to meet expectations, yes. But looking at the conference from a neutral perspective, it wasn't BAD, per se. It was, as I said, mediocre. It's just that "mediocre" was totally not what Nintendo needed for this E3. They needed to drop a bomb, but instead all we got was a little ripple. That was the problem here. Not that it was an awful conference, it just wasn't good ENOUGH. If we had an E3 like this one next year, no one would have cared. But because it came now in particular, it's screwed Nintendo over quite badly. I just hope they can recover and sort things out before the launch.

Just believe in Nintendo guys

[MorbidGod]

Its not over. And it has not met expectations yet. For all we know, tonight will rock and tomorrow we will get three awesome titles that arr must buy.

But I dont think they were targeting investors. I think the hardcore titles arent ready. I dont knoe why they are waiting for those three games, but Nintendo has failed to communicate what it wants with Wii U.

Part of the problem is they split things up. Instead of one conference,they decide to show things online. A guy from ign said on G4 that Nintendo didnt show any online features like Xbox Live has. Thats not true. They did. Just not at E3.. And if they dont know about it ... Then its possible others dont either.

See? The problem is communication. And thatd not good.

[Stormage09]

The problem is that now everybody thinks nintendo is doomend and lots of people who loved the wii u now hate it cause the horrible conference... they really need to show more hardcore games and less dance/sing lol

lets hope they will reveal something interesting in the nintendo directs or something...
