I'm starting to agree about Splatoon, it is an interesting take on the third person shooter genre.

Nintendo won this year imo. Great showing.
I might have to agree, of the three consoles, Nintendo gave me the biggest incentives to finally jump into the new generation.
I still wish Nintendo would do a better job trying to sell the uniqueness of the Wii U not just to consumers but third party companies as well. It was a great showing but as usual, everything to get excited for is first party. Though it is nice to hear that the 3DS is getting some third party love in the after thoughts section.

Mario Party 10 apparently features Bowser as the lead. Neato.
It's no secret that I've been pretty heavily disparaging of Nintendo's non-handheld sector in recent years, but lest anyone believe evidence cannot change my mind: Holy trout when these games start arriving I'm gonna need a WiiU.
The fact that they're just about all arriving in 2015 really does show just how slow to support the thing Nintendo have been (Half of these games should have been out already if they wanted the WiiU to be a strong seller), and I'm not sure if this isn't too little, too late for the console in terms of the console wars, but there is no way to say Nintendo hasn't been paying attention and is now working damn hard to makes this an appealing console.
I'm not gonna grab one right away but once another round of price drops hits, I suspect it will be time. Y'all know what a big deal that is for me to say. Bravo Nintendo, I didn't think you had it in you but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
Nintendo still has a long way to go to really turn the WiiU around but I agree that they seriously brought it this year. Even games I knew about beforehand, I got enough new information from them to get me hyped up for them.

Yeah I don't know that this will be enough to save the console, but it's a damn good start at least.

Nintendo will stay in there. I'm not of the opinion Nintendo is close to "being completely gone from console gaming forever" like some people think nor that the Wii U is doomed this console generation cause we all said that about Sony last generation and they pulled off a spectacular comeback.
Nintendo's two biggest issues at this point in time since they finally fixed the whole "nothing to play on it" issue is they still need to get their online component working in a user friendly way and seeing how they announced quite a few titles with multiplayer, they should hopefully be working on getting their online infrastructure to be at least halfway decent. Their other issue is just trying to sell the new controller component to third party companies and the consumer. Looks to me like Miyamoto is working on that if the game he was play testing in his segment is the new IP they keep chatting about. Still, games like Splatoon, the new Kirby game, and though not features, the new Fatal Frame being made for the system all give cool reasons to justify the tabletmote.
I can't wait to get some serious info on Xenoblade Chronicles X, actually getting some story segments and showing off characters has eased my apprehension that the game would end up as a Monster Hunter clone.

The game that Miyamoto was playing at the end was his Star Fox tech demo.
Sometime soon we are getting a Starfox Announcement.
That is pretty clear, though I'm surprised they didn't just straight do it during the direct.
Well, my GF is going to be really happy, she loves Star Fox.Originally Posted by Aulayna

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.
