yeah, no surprises there. Nintendo has a cash cow with 2 udders, with one entirely fed from Mario titles. They're going to be milking the Mario one just as hard, if not harder, than the other one.

They did pretty well. Not as good as Microsoft, but not too shabby. This is not my attempt to start a flame war, just my opinion.

Mario Galaxy 2? Cool. Metroid by Team Ninja? Sweeeeet.

They did ok, which IMO is slightly less than good. Way better than last year's of course. It's obvious that Nintendo's company focus has shifted which is perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned. That's where the other two consoles step in (for me at least).

Meh.

Sorry, but no matter how many times you tell yourself that it won't make it true.

Better than last year, but they didn't even show as many core games as MS did yesterday (and they spent most of their conference on Natal and Milo)

4/10 for Ninty this year, better considering last year was a 0/10.

I kind of agree with jerkface, but I think nintendo managed to have a pretty exciting keynote anyway

E3 looks like it's off to a great start!

I think the presentation was plenty good, i'm annoyed they went into depth about something they demo'd LAST YEAR, but they showed a lot of new games i'm interested in, even if some of it's recycled.

Namely Golden Sun DS, Mario and Luigi RPG 3, Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, Wario Ware DIY, Wii Sports Resort, and Woman's Murder Club. (Kidding.)

I couldn't disagree more. With the exception of Mario Galaxy 2 and the new Metroid, what did they do well? They showed Wii Resort AGAIN as if we hadn't seen it before. They showed a multiplayer Mario, as if lack of co-op was something people were bemoaning about the Mario franchise.

Would Zelda have made their conference a contender for the best conference? No, but it would have helped. Combined with last year, I think that their conference this year cements the idea that they don't need us anymore.

Not showing Zelda was just a punch in the nuts.

Eluno, you forgot that they mentioned Red Steel 2, Grand Slam Tennis, Tiger Woods 10, at least those 3 more. :)

Like I said in the blog post, I think Nintendo DID do good...with the announcements. Its the WAY they announced them that fails compared to the other two conferences. Microsoft and Sony are full of flashing lights...heart pounding sound...loud music...lots of GAME FOOTAGE...smoke flowing across the stage...EXCITEMENT. Nintendo announced some great stuff....but they do it in a very staid, boring, dry way. I think that is the biggest problem: they follow the proper, un-exciting Japanese business way of doing it. They need to shift it to a more western approach to their announcements.

Nintendo announced a lot of great stuff...just in a very boring way.

The first Galaxy was superb, and I expect nothing less from this one as well. Hopefully the last boss is a little harder though.

yeah, I'm surprised, too: I really thought they were going to have a new zelda

I still need to get a wii, actually, though, and I'm pretty confident they'll have a new wii zelda eventually

haven't finished twilight princess, though, so I guess I'm not hankering for one as much as you are

Asitaka, you're an idiot and a troll. He was talking about how he's excited about Mario Galaxy 2, then you had to come in and talk about how you think the Wii is last gen. All he did was mention a game and you brought up the console wars. You are the fanboy.

This is about the announcement for Super Mario Galaxy 2. The first Galaxy was considered game of the year when it was released, competing with THIS generation of games. It's a great game that has people excited for the sequel.

Seriously, what are you doing here? He's saying he likes the game and is excited for the sequel. What's the point of your reply to his comment? Please don't flame.

I actually liked SM64 a LOT more than Galaxy, which I guess says more about the awesomeness of SM64 than it does about the deficiencies of Galaxy.

Still though, this isn't a case like Halo 1 vs. Halo 3 where Halo 1 was better for its time than Halo 3 is for it's time, but it's not a better game straight up. SM64 is actually a better game straight up, as in if I were asked to pick which of the two I could play on my modern console I would pick SM64.

It seems Nintendo is trying to gain back a bit of the "true" gamer crowd. I just hope Super Mario Galaxy 2 is enough of a difference that it stands out from the first game- however Nintendo usually pulls that off rather well, so I'm excited.

I suspect it could be to Galaxy what Sunshine was to 64 - still amazing but less of a sensory shock and more of an adaptation.

I sure hope not. Sunshine was quite a disappointment for me - I had to actually force myself to finish the game.

I LOVED Galaxy, and even if the second one is just more of the same, I'd enjoy it all over again.

No downvotes here. I agree. It was pretty 'meh' overall. I'm pumped for a bunch of games but the actual presentation could have been much, much better. They have a good list of games coming out but they put too much emphasis on things they shouldn't have. Seriously, vitality monitor?
