    This is only a rough estimate, but seems accurate from what we know so far (from NeoGAF):

    Wow Nintendo, that was disappointing! The 3D Mario game is just an expansion of Mario 3D Land? Not particularly a bad thing but was hoping for something a little more like Mario64. Mario Kart looks cool enough, nothing really much more to add to that. A bunch of casual s**t I could happily live without. A 3rd party sizzle reel featuring nothing we didn't already know about (mostly Ubisoft stuff). Wind Waker looks nice... obviously. Bayonetta 2, X and Smash Bros all look pro but what's this?... Retro's top secret Wii U game is another Donkey Kong Country Returns? Of ALL the IP's Nintendo could've given them!!! I'm sure it'll be a good game but damn, what a disappointment.

    Honestly, hands down the weakest of the three conferences.

    Kotaku doesn't sound impressed: "Another damn Donkey Kong Country game".

    Smash Bros will be good, but will it evolve enough from previous games in the series to warrant a whole new disc? The last one... sorta didn't.

    Good thing it wasn't a conference right? :rolleyes:

    I was definitely hoping for more surprises from this ND but Nintendo does like to play it safe. Definitely pumped that Megaman is in Smash but I need to rewatch the trailer to see if it plays quick like Melee or slow and boring like Brawl.

    I am definitely excited for Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, and X.

    I am also glad the 3d Mario game is Super Mario 3D World. 3D Land is one of my favorite games of all time and even though I don't care much for the cat suit I am glad Peach is finally playable in a multiplayer Mario title.

    This was supposed to be Nintendo's grand opportunity to show us Wii U owners that we made a good investment, and honestly, right now I don't feel so confident for its future. Totally anemic 3rd party support and for the first time ever, most 1st party games that I'm not overly excited for.

    Despite the pros and cons of PS4 and Xbox One, you can't deny that they both had a strong showing of new games that we didn't know about... or at least weren't certain of. Nintendo's approach to this year was supposed to be an experiment and honestly, it failed (at least for me). Their 'conference' was a mere 40mins long, featuring mostly stuff we already knew about. I think they definitely dropped the ball with this one... and at a time where they really can ill afford to do so.

    On a side note, are we 100% sure DKCR is Retro's project? I don't remember seeing or hearing them mention Retro's name. Also, a post on NeoGaf the other days mentioned Monster Games working on another entry in the DCKR games. I hope it's not Retro's, that would suck big time.

    EDIT: Yep, Nintendo have confirmed to IGN that its Retro developing it.

    Too safe. I've done all of this before. Nintendo are bringing practically nothing new, which was expected. I mean, it's their strategy, and it obviously works because each year thousands of kids discover gaming and Nintendo's constant recycling of the same child-friendly titles is what draws those kids in.

    I think that nintendo really played conservative here.
    That left an unimpressive confrence for me in all honesty.

    The Wii U has decent third party support in my opinion. They may not get a lot of major third party support besides Ubisoft and WB but there are plenty of games announced for eshop that look very worthwhile to play. Most people forget the support the eshop is getting from indies.

    But I do agree with Midian, Nintendo played this Direct too safe.

    Oh well. Let's see what comes out of the Pokemon conference.

    For me this gen is one ill skip. Don't like ps exclusives , prefer Xbox but i don't like the Kinect secretly filming you. I guess I'm going to get an iPad 4/5 with the new controller.
