Looks like most everyone enjoyed it. I think it was certainly solid. It wasn't their best E3 ever, but it wasn't anywhere near awful (coughvitalitysensorcough).
I had (and am having) fun with the Wii and I'll have fun with my Wii U. I don't really care much for generic EA/Ubisoft games at all. The 3DS has already outsold the Gamecube in total sales, so I really don't think Nintendo will slow down sales-wise any time soon regardless of EA/Ubisoft shovelware.
However, it would be nice if Nintendo went back to a traditional console for the next generation. A more standard controller/console could likely boost sales and support.
Also, the Wii U is less than a year old! The 3DS had a slow start too, ya know.
Smash Bros. looks cool (Mega Man, Village Man, Wii Fit WoMan), but Monolith Soft's new title looks AMAZING. If they can do everything right that they did wrong in Xenoblade (which I love) then I'll get a Wii U without a second's thought.
The 3DS is doing a lot better than I expected. While I don't really like Awakening, RE Revelations, Luigi's Mansion 2, SSFIV 3D, Mario Kart 7 and a plethora of quality eShop titles are certainly keeping me busy. Also, it may be a personal point, but I love the easy to use MP3 player. I haven't touched my iPod since I got my 3DS, now that I think about it.
Plain and simple: Hard is 99.9% impossible on classic if you want to keep all your characters. I appreciate a challenge, but when I have to reset my game every 5 turns because of a critical hit or re-enforcements, it's just not worth it. I'm probably just going to play Normal with Classic.
Metroid: Other M is a very shaky subject, and I can see why people hate and love it. I personally love the gameplay; it's very similar to Fusion it terms of progression (which I like), and the combat can be fast paced and fun, as well more involved than previous entries. However, the story is... shaky. Everybody who's played the game knows what I'm saying when I say "Varia Suit" or "The Ridley scene". But overall, I liked it. The story is at least O.K. for the most part, and the gameplay takes the Metroid formula into 2.5-D territory very well. So I can see why people hate it, but it isn't even close to series-destroying territory.
Like most people have stated, I think it should depend on the game. For example, a game like Wii Sports shouldn't be put on the same caliber price-wise as say, Xenoblade Chronicles.

Re: Want A Boxed Copy Of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies? Pester Capcom
I'm fine with either (since I played AA 1-3 on WiiWare), but I'd like a physical release. Capcom has recieved another pester.
Re: New 3DS Firmware Update 6.0.0-11U Now Live
Hopefully the NA update comes soon, the new stuff looks neat.
Also, when is 3DS Miiverse coming? ASAP would be nice Nintendo.
Re: Capcom Reveals More on Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies
Holy crap, 25-30 HOURS?
As if I wasn't excited already. A day 1 purchase for me, no question.

Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts May Not Appear On Wii U After All
Does anyone even care?
The further the CoD fanbase stays from the Wii U, the better (at least in my opinion).
Re: Reggie: This Holiday Season Is Going To Be Extremely Strong For Wii U
@Fazermint
I concur. That game looks amazing.
And I agree with Reggie, the 3DS had a slow start too, and look at it now.
Re: Pachter: Without Third Party Support Nintendo Fans May End Up Buying A Second Console
Once SSB4 comes out, the Wii U's sales will skyrocket. No question.
@Tony_342 Also this.

Re: Poll: Which Wii U E3 Game Has Impressed You the Most?
Smash Bros. looks cool (Mega Man, Village Man, Wii Fit WoMan), but Monolith Soft's new title looks AMAZING. If they can do everything right that they did wrong in Xenoblade (which I love) then I'll get a Wii U without a second's thought.

Mario Kart: Zero Gravity
Re: David Wise Returns To Compose The Soundtrack To Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze
As if I wan't excited enough already. If PS4 hadn't capitalized on the Xbox One's failure, Nintendo easily would've won E3.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Footage Revealed, Mega Man Introduced as a New Challenger
It looks great so far. Hopefully they make a commitment to making it a fast, balanced fighter as well as having as many modes as Brawl.
Re: FIFA 14 Is Coming To Nintendo Consoles After All - Except The Wii U
Wait, hang on what? Seriously?
Huh. Hopefully the WiiU won't be left behind again; or at least not as much as the Wii was.
Re: Poll: Do You Follow and Watch Rival Console Reveals?
Oh boy, another box that plays games.
I don't care about the consoles at all. The games are really the only thing that matters for me.
Re: Feature: 3DS - A Report Card Ahead of Its Biggest Year
@HeatBombastic
All you have to do is put some MP3s on the SD card and boot up 3DS Sound. The songs you downloaded should show up.

Re: They Bleed Pixels Developer Considering a Wii U eShop Release
A day one purchase if it's released for 3DS. I've had my eye on this for some time but never acted on it.

Fixed.
Re: Developer Interview: Renegade Kid and a History of Nintendo Development
Love Renegade Kid's games, Dementium and Mutant Mudds in praticular.
Hope to see more from them in the future!
Re: Footage of Renegade Kid's Crash Bandicoot DS Demo Emerges
One of my favourite developers and one of my favourite (PS1) franchises at the same time?
So much yes.
Re: Renegade Kid Confirms Mutant Mudds 2
Awesome! I've yet to collect all the Granny Coins, but MM is my favourite eShop game. Can't wait!
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2013
I just want more images of Layton and Phoenix pointing their finger at things.

Bring it to North America or else.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Wins VGA For Best Wii / Wii U Game
I can't believe Xenoblade Chronicles wasn't even NOMINATED for ANY music related awards. That game has an outstanding soundtrack.
Re: Wii Mini Is Official And Has No Online Connectivity
Also, this.

Re: Wii Mini Is Official And Has No Online Connectivity
Wow, for real?
I dunno, 75% of the reason I still use my Wii is for Wiiware and VC games.
The sad part is this might actually sell

Yeah, maybe I'll get this

Looking forward to it!
Re: File Sizes Revealed For 3DS eShop Retail Downloads
If I'm not able to download a game I already own the retail version of, I don't really care.
It's nice people have the option though.
Re: Game Boy Advance Games Pop Up On Nintendo Europe Press Site
I would love to try the Sonic Advance series, actually.
Re: Game Boy Advance Games Pop Up On Nintendo Europe Press Site
It's certainly possible, I guess.
Also, Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is my favourite game of all time, so I welcome all GBA games with open arms.
Re: Ace Attorney 5's Heart Scope System Detailed
Can't wait for this game. Looks amazing
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?
Like most people have stated, I think it should depend on the game. For example, a game like Wii Sports shouldn't be put on the same caliber price-wise as say, Xenoblade Chronicles.

Well, a few more races on the All Items server and then I'll probably be done.
