"...specifically for those who were expecting to see Nintendo show something about 'Super Mario' or 'Legend of Zelda."
That part pisses me off even more. Nintendo just doesn't seem to get that we want NEW games for the core. They seem to think that they can just pump out countless iterations of Mario and Zelda games and the core will be happy enough with those.
Make something new you assholes.

Yeah, Mario and Zelda is all good (especially a new Zelda), but I mean, Mario Galaxy came out not even a year ago. Do something new Nintendo...
Iwata's response isn't as patronizing as Cammie's and Reggie's were. At least he emphasizes that solid games take time to make. Disaster was supposedly postponed just to make sure it's a quality product.
@Guitaratomik
So Captain Rainbow doesn't cut it? Even Endless Ocean? How many new IPs are you actually expecting from a company that wants to make money.

@Salty Soil - Agreed, Cammie and Reggie weren't even acknowledging the actual happenings of their own presentation.
As for the games, Cptn Rainbow wasn't my tea and crumpets...
but Nintendo is in the perfect position to crank out original titles. It's obvious that the "casual" market of WiiSports-fascinated adults and toddlers are writing the checks for the company, so risking making new titles that are more intensive (read: do more than waggle) is no threat to them.
Also, the state of gaming - in that it hides behind this faux-capitalistic mask of "they can only do things that can make money" - is pretty sad if we want to see progression. We're left with a system that's lacking in anything deeper than a surface-layer of competition - which should be the driving force of the medium.

Kind of like they are saying. "Don’t worry you will get that one Zelda title, and also 300 play your wiimote as a flute and use it as a chef knife titles as well". Problem with Nintendo, is that there titles are so imbalanced one decent one followed by a flood of shitty ones. And i really doubt they care they are rolling in money.
@Heretic
Neither is Wii Music or any of their own brand of shovelware. But the point is it, and Endless Ocean, still fall under "new."
Granted, I can't think of any other actual game titles Nintendo has come up with lately :(
@Arttemis
I don't remember the right source or quote, most likely from EGM, that one advantage of milking casual fare is that it can fund quality titles. Therefore, Nintendo could afford to put as much effort into whatever it is they claim to be developing behind the scenes.
The fact that video games aren't always made with the idea of fun as a priority anymore is sad. It's hard to forget that a games company is still a business, and that our wallets are probably of more interest than our wants.

I'll give you Captain Rainbow (which they neglected to mention at all) but Endless Ocean? Come on. That's not a core game and it's barely an IP. Nintendo didn't even develop that one.
I couldn't care less about whether or not they want to make money, I care about what kind of games they're putting out.

Regardless of what their actual intentions and purposes are, their performance at E3 was horrible and focused entirely at the wrong crowd.
