Friend Codes aren't really that bad y'know... It's not the codes themselves, it's the way in which they are used. We currently have no way of searching for other players online, while other systems do.
I think the Miiverse will alleviate this problem largely.
Without a search feature, typing in an account name is still hassle. (Admittedly less hassle than the firend codes).

If this was any other years conference it wouldve been a fine conference, but to have one like this at such a crucial point for Nintendo with the Wii U launch approaching it was unexceptable

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.

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.

If Nintendo thinks that charging me less than something is worth is in their best interest, then I am all for it.  There is a point where it could be too expensive for me to buy.  I don't care how powerful it is if I can't afford it.

As I said earlier, the PS4 will not be too powerful than Wii U and the next Xbox. That would hinder them greatly. Third Parties want to develop multiplat games. If the PS4 is too powerful of a console then developers won't develop games for it cause they would have to start from scratch. This is a reverse effect of the Wii where the Wii games would be done from scratch hence developers didn't want the extra time and manpower to commit to doing that. It was done for some games and I'll admit that but it could have been done more. This next gen will be closer in power even if the PS4 is two years away. That was one of the problems that Dreamcast had. Exclusives are nice but they are not the only thing. You have to have variety and that's what third parties do.
