I have to disagree with everyone. Nintendo had a very simple win condition this year: "Show more SMTXFE." It seems that they failed to meet that condition, so they don't win.
Zelda and Xenoblade Chronicles X is enough for me though I would have liked to see FExSMT as well but I'm thinking we may have to wait for TGS for that. As soon as Atlus didn't have it on their own list of things to show, my hopes of it appearing were kind of dashed.
I need to read up on the Sony conference (has that happened yet) but I'm far more excited for this library than anything Microsoft pushed out.
Bayonetta 2 - where you can style her off of famous Nintendo Characters? Yes please Yoshi's Wooly World - similar in style to the Amazing Kirby's Epic Yarn? Sign me up Splatoon - Didn't sell me at first, but actually looks pretty fun Zelda/Hyrule Warriors - Look interesting. Need more detail but no doubt I'll be buying them anyway. Kirby - I wasn't a big fan, but that clay animation is an example of why games don't need to be graphically superior to look great Super Smash Brothers - More news is always good. Xenoblades Chronicles X - Didn't look superb graphically, but might be because of our internet streaming quality. Seems pretty cool. Captian Toad - I'm excited, the Minigame from super mario world was fun but limited. I'm interested to see more. Mario Maker - Not interested. It's cool they have 2 formats though, Super Mario and New Super Mario Star Fox - Gimme the details. Taking bets that it'll be similar to Assualt/command.
Apparently they have more to come too. Notice how there was like 1 3DS game there, and that was smash. Really making the Wii U competitive here.
>>> It has a nopon so I guess is gonna be part of the previous Xenoblade`s world.. Sequel? Prequel?
I dont see any mechons though..
Anyways, I must get a Wii U..
I'm doubting there's a connection between the two. No way am I seeing this as a prequel, so if anything it's going to be a few thousand years after the whole ending thing of Xenoblade, though I'm expecting no connection.
Edit: Also, we need a list of all the little Eshop games announced.

>>> So Xenoblade will become the new FF and Nopons will be the moogles?..
Altus seem to have a hard time bringing things to the EU region not in e-shop form. Conception 2 was also not released as a physical product in EU, but was in the US. I find that kinda weird.
It seems like Atlus often let other publishers release their games in the PAL regions but recently it looks like the company is now trying to take over those duties which is why all of a sudden Europe is getting a lot of love from them even if it digital only. Hopefully EU will start seeing similar releases to Japans and the U.S. if Atlus stays consistent.
Man it's sad how hard 2015 dominated this E3 and Nintendo got hit the worst. They showed the fewest games and almost none of them are coming out this year.
The other two manufacturers both detailed robust relationships with indies and third parties so I was surprised that Nintendo had neither. I understand that's not "why people buy Nintendo consoles" but it is why more people buy Xbox Ones and PS4s instead.
I'm disappointed they stuck to the familiar faces with first party. Their show was very similar to Microsoft's in that way, that you would be excited if you're a longtime fan of their brand. But unlike Microsoft they didn't have anything new or ambitious like Project Spark and no third party or indie support to fill in the release schedule gaps.
This is only my personal take, I don't call doom for Nintendo, as they have enough money to weather numerous console generation droughts. No one can doubt they still make awesome games. It's just my experience with the 3DS convinced me Nintendo has stagnated too much for my tastes, so a conference like this is a step away from what I was hoping. I still raise a glass to you guys, standing on the platform as your hype train pulls away,
