You can't fault Nintendo with this one.

It was a little lacking on major surprises, but it was a solid show with some decent ideas presented and Nintendo's trademark charm. Good job Nintendo.

Next thing up on the whole mii deal will be Mii-space, lol. At least they are expanding into some other territory a little bit with online. Though I do say there is too many peripherals in my opinion but hey, if it gets you more people, go for it. Surprising to see how how companies and productions are being so supportive of the DS like Team Ninja and Square Enix. Mario Kart, Guitar Hero 3 (it's fun on any system, let's face that fact), Zelda: PH looked really nice and fun to play even though Metroid Prime 3 looked nice, it seemed like the girl playing it was having a really hard time. I should probably take a better look at Mario Galaxy which I think I missed the new add ons that were shown.

What?! Online multiplayer? On a Nintendo console? For games that aren't Pokemon? Impossible! Inconceivable! IT CANNOT BE!!

And, Wii Fit?!

Da hell?! We gamers have no desire for physical activity!

How does it look ridiculus? It looks pretty interesting if you ask me, not many games have you planet hopping and navigating platforms. Sure, it's physically impossible, but that's what video games are for, to achieve the impossible. =D

The new Mario Kart games seems pretty good. And I'm hoping Mario Galaxy is as fun a play as Super Mario 64. It'll probably take forever before these games hit Europe though.

Unless it's something like a text heavy RPG, localisation should be pretty swift.

Seeing as it's the holiday season too, I would imagine they'll probably try their hardest to get it to Europe pretty quickly; maybe even at the same time.

I hope so. I'm so sick of Europe getting games so bloody slowly... You're lucky because you live in Ireland. Over here in Norway, we get about half the games released in the rest of Europe.
Then again, it could be just dependant on which stores decide to sell which games. They usually only go for big titles.

...Quite honestly nothing here excites me. I'm disappointed by this. Xbox360's show was more interesting to me and I don't even own one. :P
