Held back?? I thought they had soooo much info to share that they needed like 5 different conferences to explain it all??
not a single word on wii u zelda, not a single word on specs, not a single word on release date and price, just another bunch of ridiculous wii sports, games already released on other consoles, and two 2d mario games that look exactly like the old ones, I do love nintendo but it IS so disappointing!
i don't expect anything amazing for the wii u until at least a year after it's out. none of the recent console launches have been amazing so i didn't expect this to be any different. not much point announcing games that won't be out for years anyway like smash bros etc.
There was just so much hype for this conference with all the rumors swirling around about retro's new game being at the show and the prospect Miyamoto could even show his new IP gave me hope that this show would be Nintendo's best in years. It wasn't awful, but there was too much focus on 3rd parties. There are 1st party games they didn't even show to make room for ubisoft and only half of their showing had any promise. Personally, I'm disappointed.
I was more excited by Nintendo's conference than MS and Sony's combined, but I still was a little disappointed. Was hoping for a huge surprise I guess, of which there's been few this year so far. Oh well, still a couple more days left.
"Is it just me, or does ZombiU look onrails?"
It's not on-rails, just seen the live gameplay demo on Spike TV. Its a normal FPS, that you move around with the sticks. It looked pretty cool too!

Chad, I love how your inner child is your outer man.
I'll be hones, I wasn't trilled with Nintendo's conference and the way they handled the Wii U; I was expecting more.
The other thing I believe contributed to the feeling was how they removed the 3DS/DS from it. Maybe they shouldn't have made 3 different events.
Now go and play those Wii U games! I need to know what you think on them, the controller, everything!

I love your optimism so much Chad. I think Nintendo did a pretty good job overall. They just ended on a sour note, and people only tend to remember their last impression. I think they showed the new technology very well and at least get bonus points for innovation.

It's not. Here are some details:
One hit kills you
If you die, you respawn as a different person, and must kill your former self to get old equipment back.
No checkpoints or quicksaves.
No pausing for inventory management. Everything is realtime.

After whatching the conference I decided I will pass. The Nintendo Wii U is simply not for me, it is more like a little kids console. I was not exited about any of the games presented and the truth is that the wii u will have tough fight againts current generation consoles, when the new PS4 arrives it will simply have no chance.
You didn't really give your opinion on why you think Nintendo held back though. You just stated that you don't think Nintendo hasn't abandoned hardcore gamers. Which I also agree with, I'm just afraid that Nintendo didn't have much to show, that's why they didn't show much.
I guess it could be that the Wii U won't actually be released until after next year's E3, that's why they are waiting until next year's E3 to show off their games, but if that's the case, it seems like they should release the Wii U sooner than later. That Arkham City/Ninja Gaiden 3 port are going to look silly releasing for 60 dollar more than 3 years after they released on other consoles.

they could have announced zelda or metroid, but didn't, it think your onto something Chad, especially with next year's console announcements Nintendo is playing the game strategically. While Sony and Microsoft are just announcing their consoles Nintendo will show off metroid, zelda, smashbros. etc. to blow our minds.
They did 100% what I thought they'd do all along and have been saying for the past few weeks: Stuck to showing games for the Wii U, and little else.
The 3DS could have really used more love, that I'll agree to. I'm expecting to be much more excited about that show tomorrow night, then I ended up being by this one.
As for Nintendo Land.. First off, smart move making the tech/tutorial games based on Nintendo's varied worlds, instead of just bland (albeit fun) sports games..
Second, and I hadn't thought this till now for some reason, Nintendo really does have enough of a basis to start a real theme park, and if they were in a better place fiscally, I wish they'd option that.. It was far too easy after seeing Nintendo Land, and hearing it talked about, to envision a place like Universal Studios, where each Nintendo shardworld got its own "island" or whatever, with rides and games and restaurants and stuff, themed after those world.. I'd kill to go to a Zelda world, or hit up Planet Zebes... Nintendo should really think about making that happen.

@voxeril what could they be holding back with? All they have left to show are 3ds games. I'm sure they have all sorts of things in development that they felt were too unfinished to show but I would have felt much stronger about this conference even if they just flashed us a metroid logo.
Held back is right, it does feel like they were holding back. I'd suppose it's to showcase all these third party games, but Nintendo is one of the biggest Japanese presences at E3 and I'd really have liked to see at least one 'killer' IP make a Wii U appearance. Maybe they're holding something back for the 3DS thingy tomorrow, I don't know, but today's conference felt a little... underwhelming.
That said, two years ago I did say that all I wanted was Pikmin 3, and I got it, and those rock pikmin were amazing, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Funny, if you replace Wii U with Wii and PS4 with PS3, you have an argument that many made seven years ago.

@Celica I noticed that too.
If they had skipped the third party port montage, super detailed explanation of Pac-Man Vs: Luigi's Mansion Edition, and the thing they did on Sunday it would have been like: Redesigned GamePad, Pro Controller, Ability to use 2 GamePads, MiiVerse, Social Features, Amazon/Netflix/Youtube, Wii Fit, NintendoLand, ScribbleNauts, New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3 *drop the mic*. People would have been amazed.
Just a pre-rendered trailer for the next Smash Bros. would have sent the roof off of that theatre.

I'm left wondering why they didn't show Project P-100 at the actual conference and instead showed it at the GameTrailers interview. It looked better than most of their other stuff.
Also, in ZombiU, your character can get bitten, and thus infected, killing off your character, but making you take over the perspective from another survivor. That's definitely new, for a zombie game. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Didn't really care for the Mario games, but Pikmin, LEGO and Scribblenauts look incredible. I'm also glad ME3, AC 3 and Batman will be released for the WiiU, meaning we can probably expect a stronger third-party presence this generation.
But honestly, Ubisoft won E3 when they showed Rayman Legends.

I'll get the Wii U, and what I want from the unofficial lineup so far is Nintendo Land, Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, and NSMB U.
Considering I usually only get 1-2 games at a console's launch anyways, I am ok with that.
We'll see if the 3DS event delivers any new IPs or heavy hitters.

Voxeril E3 2013..... prepare for all the Wii U announcements. Also I think this year their focusing on 3DS games more than Wii U.
Its strange to me that only a handful of 1st party Wii-U games were discussed, but @ Nintendo's E3 page they have an ishload. A Platinum Games title (P-100) and an upcoming Wario (WarioWare-ish looking) game to name a few...
Other than Pikmin 3 and a few others like Scribblenauts Universe and Zombi U I'm really underwhelmed. I can see the logic in what you're saying Chad, but at the same time I think they needed something else that was big other than Pikmin 3. Where's Retro's game? They've been working on something since Donkey Kong Country Returns. What have Monolith Soft and Mistwalker been working on? Nintendo needed a killer launch, and so far I haven't seen this.
"Or, even better, a new IP! Seriously, Nintendo, where are your new IPs?!"
Well they technically did have a new IP in SiNG, but yeah, a karaoke game isn't exactly exciting new IP. But its still new IP none-the-less. The crazy thing is they announced a new IP from Platinum Games right after the Press Conference in P-100. Plus who knows what they have planned for tonights round-table event.

I wanted to believe..
Maybe I will some day, but seeing Nintendo play it so safe with NSMBU does not inspire me to buy in yet. I don't care to see Mario platformer titles be as stagnant as Pokemon, recycling the same art year in, year out.

terrible... i am not buying this, i was excited, now im depressed. nintendo, please become a software developer, stop this bullshit
Everyone bitches when Ninty doesn't have 3rd party support, so they take steps to fix it and....everyone bitches. Ahhhh the internet.
@captain of the zanarkand abes
That sounds like it has potential. If there's one good thing about a new control scheme, it's a new wario ware game, that and rabbids are about the only minigame compilations I like.

It was pretty good, I was just expecting them to reveal pricing and a release date. We're almost half way through 2012 and some of those games can easily be picked up for 360 or ps3.
@Boomer
They haven't dropped the 3ds. It gets another separate show all to itself tomorrow.
Also, Am I the only one who noticed the PINK FLYING PIKMIN???

I am really excited about the Wii U. Mind you, my favorite series wasn't mentioned (Pokemon, Zelda, Smash Bros., etc.) but I know that Nintendo will take their time, and announce, release them when they're ready. In the meantime, the games that are out now will do just fine, and the WiiU will take all of money within a couple of weeks of launch, haha.

"...recycling the same art year in, year out..."
The art for the Wii U game was actually pretty different. It emulated famous paintings. One stage looked like a Van Gogh picture.

Based on the majority of comments, gamers are a miserable bunch. Nobody gets more hate than Nintendo, even when the other guys didnt show a damn "new" thing either.
Im sick of weasely little brats and their inexperienced and moronic conclusions about everything from a one hour presentation.
I wish i could be like chad and focus on the positive all the time, and when it comes to the actual games i play, I DO.
But interacting with gamers is an awful experience more and more, because most of you are clueless and hatefully so.

ZombiU was a fun surprise for me. For such a silly title, the game looks pretty hardcore. Def one of my launch picks. (Is it a launch title? I heard it was.)
@BrainWasherAttendant
Nintendo's getting hate because Nintendo desperately NEEDED to show more new exciting things. All totaled, Sony and Nintendo probably displayed equal amounts of really interesting things (in my opinion) thanks in large part to UbiSoft, but Sony didn't need to convince me of the PS3 or the Vita. I own both already and I know what they're capable of, and they each have exclusives I enjoy. I was hoping Nintendo would sell me on the Wii U, but they chose to spend far too much time with dancing, exercise, and the theme park game.

Looks like most people can't see beyond the frustration. I liked the conference(could have been way better, but it wasn't MS-level either), and we can't forget that maybe they will show something tomorrow...
@Padla
wiifitU is actually a game (Compared to WiiFit)
Still not what should have been focused on here...
