I agree. This is just the beginning of something great. Nintendo is getting ready to launch their most advanced home console yet with 23 games for it (in the launch window)! Plus we're also getting new games for the 3DS. Too many people are overlooking the fact that this is just the beginning for Wii U, and things will get better as time goes on.
But the problem is that the conference was more satisfactory than excellent; we're looking forward to Wii U, but we're not exactly teeming with excitement for it. I think a lot of Nintendo's franchises that are currently in a hiatus would be a great way to demonstrate Wii U's power (Pikmin 3 still looks superb, yet we knew it was coming), however since this is the Wii U's launch, Nintendo should focus on games that will attract the widest range of players, like Mario.
I guess they thought that the Circle Pad Pro had solved the problem of no second circle pad, and they can make a larger Circle Pad Pro for this version of the 3DS if necessary. At least they increased the screen size and improved the short battery life which was a common complaint.
But I still don't get why they wouldn't just build-in another circle pad. If there was such a peripheral that added a second circle pad, then why not just make it part of the system? They took the time to change the Wii U Game Pad's circle pads to joysticks, stagger the joysticks, and make the game pad more ergonomic, so why not optimize the 3DS like that as well?
