although theyve basically admitted that they cant compete with ms and sony this gen, i think with the games theyve announced for next year could make it a solid change of pace console. so i'll get 1 if the drop the price to $199 or less before the 2014 holiday season. it's now the only console with no online fees and absolutely no drm (contrary to what sony fanboys believe). #LongLiveNintendo

I agree. Nintendo looked like they lacked focus, but overall their lineup for 2013 is solid and 2014 looks great. With a price drop, and a stream of quality content, Nintendo should be fine.

i believe that they had a hard time making 3d games and it doesnt help that the 3rd party devs r abandoning them. i agree with u 100% about that 2014 lineup. it looks great

Its embarrassing I don't like their console lineup? Ignoring the fact there are nearly zero major third party exclusives and that really only leaves me down to Nintendo games?

It was just...boring.  The whole Direct was just the same games we've been seeing for the past years (apart from X and Bay).

I was a bit disappointed by their conference as I was watching it, but I have come to terms with their announcements now. Their line-up is easily still the strongest of any first party

August: Pikmin 3, Mario and Luigi Dream Team

September: The Wonderful 101

October: Wind Waker HD, Pokemon X and Y

November: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, A Link Between Worlds

December: Super Mario 3D world

2014: Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, Bayonetta 2, Yoshi's New Island

They have 8 strong titles coming every month from August to December

Looks like they made the games that take the least amount of change and effort. New 2D platformer, HD remake, and the tried and true Mario kart formula. The only innovation I want in Mario Kart is for them to remove that damn blue shell. They never listen.

It was typical Nintendo. No surprises whatsoever. Good or bad is up for debate, but the fact there were no surprises at all certainly doesn't make the Wii U a particularly interesting prospect for anyone but the typical Nintendo fanbase.

And all of their major franchises are on the 3DS, thereby giving me no reason to purchase a console in addition to the handheld as previously mentioned.

They were too predictable. It was everything we already knew, except for Smash. If SSBWiiU and SSB3DS, and Bayonetta 2 and X weren't there, I would say the conference was a complete and utter failure.

i didn't watch it, mainly because i have no interest in it let alone feel or consider it to be a main console unlike PS and Xbox. However, i do wish the WiiU the success

I'd give Nintendo a C. 

Good games are on the way, but it was nothing unexpected. I will probably buy a Wii U in a year or so though when it has a decent library and a price drop.

I agree it wasn't terrible and liked what was shown for first party titles and a few of the eShop games. Nintendo cetainly could have done much better though.

The Wii U is on a different market. The fighting is between Sony and Microsoft.

They already showed some great sequels, now all they need to do is make some new and interesting IPs.

Excellents first party titles. And is going to have some Third party hits. The Wii U looks a lot better than the Xbox one, from a gamer's perspective.

You'll be missing all the wiiU only games then.
