Yep, sorry I see that now, Im actually watching at now, it does look impressive. Motion+ isnt as accurate imo as its made out to be, but it still looks like the game will be great.
Goldeneye Wii= EPIC
My heart is seriously pounding 9000 times a minute as I just finished the Donkey Kong Kountry video. Its 2D!
10/10 already imo and I havent even seen the 3DS yet!
The conference kicked off with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The game looks really good and I'm highly anticapating it, but the control played weird (Of course it could be because the live streams were lagging). Either because Shigeru Miyamoto and another guy were playing it weirdly or it could have some interface problem. I'm sure it'll be fixed, thought, as we have yet to see a poor quality Zelda game from Nintendo. Expect at least high Double A quality, but I wouldn't be surprise if it kept up with Zelda's long history of Triple A titles.
The first surprise of the conference was basically a Mario sport-mix. This one actually interested me. If they would just add online multi-player, I would definently buy this. Not the best, but not as bad as a few of the later titles shown
The next game was Wii Party. Reminds me of the Mario Party series, but with Mii's (Spirtual successor maybe?). Nevertheless, not really something I would play. I wouldn't be surprise if it was Wii Music's quality. Maybe it'll be good, but don't expect something memorable.
Just Dance 2 was a downright horrible choice for a Nintendo E3 2010 showing. The predeccessor was critically panned and I honestly doubt the sequel will be much better. Here, I had a bad feeling it could turn out almost as disappointing as E3 2008.
We get out "expected" sales figure discussion. Luckily, it was relatively quick, which means that Nintendo must have a lot of surprises for us.
And they were right. Things started to turn around with discussions regarding Epic Mickey. That game looked fantastic when played. It seems like it's perfect for the Wii. Another must-buy title.
Metroid: Other M is already exciting. The trailer was great and it continues to be a must-buy.
I'm sure a lot of people will also get excited over the ninth Dragon Quest game. That game is also looking really good, although nothing really to report on, as I probably will not get the game.
The heat turned up even more with Golden Sun: Dark Chaos. The game looked a lot better then I would expect for this game. Sure the main character looked similar to Issac from the original game, but the trailer turned out great. Double A title here is extremely likely, and the game reachng low Triple A statue wouldn't be surprising.
Kirby makes a console revival within Kirby: Epic Yarn. The fact that the game was announce wasn't too surprising, but how the game will play is. Still, I'm really looking forward to it and I think it'll turn out very well (But who's developing the game, HAL?).
We should also not forget that Retro Studio is taking care of the what will most likely be fantastic Donkey Kong Country: Returns. I love games with nostalgic feelings and this is no exception. As a matter of fact, I like how Retro Studio is handling it. This is another must-buy game for me.
The big one, however, is no other then 3DS. Yes folks, the main reason why the conference was so fantastic is because of this handheld. It looks extremely promising. The console looks like it can handle a Wii title, giving it's massive power. 3D without glasses is even more to digest, as it means it saves money and makes gaming experience more realistic. Oh and they are also planning on increasing focus on online. This is exciting as it leaves room for the elmination of friend codes, better online play, more online features, less lag, etc.
The conference closes out with Kid Icarus and that game looks fantastic. The game looks at least a late-Gamecube title, approaching Wii status. The trailer was amazing as well. This is a must-buy for me.
Overall: The conference started a bit weak, but not too bad. It ends swinging with one of the best conference I've ever seen. Extremely impressed with the outcome.
Good:
Finally got to see a trailer and some game play out of the next The Legend of Zelda title.
The Mario Sport-Mix title looks like a very good experiment. Whenever it will succeed or not is the question.
Epic Mickey is a really promising licensed title.
Nice trailer on Golden Sun: Dark Chaos. First solid DS title shown off at E3.
Kirby's console revival looks very good and is surely interesting.
Donkey Kong's first serious game in years looks fantastic.
More detail about the 3DS. Looks extrememly promising and could potentially be one of the best handhelds Nintendo has ever made.
Promise of a much better online experience with the 3DS.
Kid Icarus is reciving a revival on the 3DS, looks fantastic.
Bad:
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword may have some control interface problem.
Just Dance 2 and Wii Party are not really appealing.
Lack of Pikimin 3 or F-zero Wii. Former has been confirmed already and F-zero Wii might have evidence of existing.

Final Score: 9/10
Did you forgot Coduit 2?
Did they show Conduit 2 during the show? Can't remember that being discussed much...
Overall I agree with Super Smash Bros. Fan1999 -- the Nintendo show started a bit slow but ended with a huge bang. This is probably why they "won" in my mind... because Microsoft started well and then went downhill while Sony was repeatedly up and down over a much-too-long presentation (despite having a nice ace revealed at the end).

My point is, the bad think is, that Conduit 2 didn't got demonstrated
I'd give Nintendo's conference an A+ Yes, they had some trouble with Zelda (though it looked great) and Wii Party/Just Dance were awful, but Epic Mickey (looked GREAT imo), Kirby Epic Yarn (very neat), Donkey Kong Country Returns (cool), Goldeneye (whoa), and of course the 3DS wowed me. I was VERY impressed. And then after the conference, they blew my mind when they announced Animal Crossing 3DS (my only real disappointment for the conference was no Crossing and then they announced it. lol), Ocarnia of Time 3DS and the rest of the very cool 3DS games. Oh and seeing Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater on the 3DS. Whoa. VERY impressive game.
As for Sony, I have to say as a Sony fan that I was VERY disappointed by their showing. I'd rate them at a C-. I thought LittleBigPlanet 2 looked great, so did Portal 2, and Twisted Metal, plus I liked Kevin Butler's speech and Scorery looked neat, but the rest of the conference was just AWFUL. Too much focus on the Move and 3D. Not enough games this year either. In 2009, Sony did great. They had a ton of great games. This year, not so much. I have to admit I'm wondering why I even have a PS3. I like LBP2, but I'm not even sure I'll be able to get that this year because I want Epic Mickey (or the 3DS if its comes out. lol) and maybe another one of the games too. I'm starting to be glad I have a Wii again and I can't wait to own a 3DS. Not sure how I feel about the PS3 at the moment.
Oh and Microsoft gets a D- from me and thats only because Fable 3, Gears, and Call of Duty: Black Ops did look good. The rest of the conference was awful. Kinect looks like such a big gimmick.
Usually, Nintendo is focusing on the Casual audience while Sony & Microsoft focus on the Gamers. This year it was the opposite, with Nintendo focusing on Gamers and Sony/Microsoft focusing on the Casual audience. lol. Too funny.
Man, I hope we get a release date for the 3DS soon!
I'd give Nintendo a solid A. Kirby, Epic Mickey, and a lot of things associated with the 3DS more than make up for the short comings which were Just Dance 2 on stage demo and the new Legend of Zelda: Skyward To A Whole Lot of the Same Old Junk We've Done Over and Over Again.
Sony is a solid B which stings since I'm a 360 owner and they showed absolutely nothing. Thank goodness for Fallout New Vegas taking up most of my time in the future and the prospect of Mass Effect 3
Microsoft? Terrible...F. Nothing from Microsoft impressed me or is something I'll be purchasing.
