Am I the only Nintendo fan who expected a lot more?
I mean Mario Kart and Smash bros got me pumped up, sure, but they only showed two(!?) new characters for Smash bros (I think that's a record for a Smash Bros reveal) . I guess I can't complain, one was the character I always wanted. The Zelda they showed was just Wind Waker HD again.. Not the new, still-as-of-now-unseen wiiU Zelda. Bayonetta 2 again.. Wonderful 101 again. If these things weren't that exciting to some people before, I don't know why they would be now. That Mario 3D world thing also looked a tad lackluster. Not because Mario is loosing his charm, but that style of Mario is. I know many of you wanted Galaxy 3, and I personally wanted a true successor to Mario 64. A sequel to Mario 3D land is fine, but even the original Mario 3D land was just 'good', nothing particularly pivotal. Then There is Retro Studio, who hyped up what they were making as "The game the fans have been wanting"... so, of course everyone thought they were talking about Another Prime game or possibly even another old Nintendo IP, like Starfox! Nope, just a sequel to that Donkey Kong Country game they made on the wii... which still looks good, but certainly not worthy of any hype that was building.
So yeah, aside from seeing Mega man and thinking that X game looks pretty snazzy, I am feeling pretty damned underwhelmed right about now. What did you all think?

[small]Yeah, I know Nintendo Directs come out periodically throughout the year. They may very well show more awesome things later that weren't ready yet... but still, eyes were on them right now more then ever.[/small]
