"It's so precise, it's picking up my bad wrist action!"
Hey, that's what I want... a game that precisely emulates my natural lack of ability.

Wii Sports Resort: Disc Dog (throw a frisbee for a dog to catch), a Jet Ski game, and a swordfighting/log-chopping game.

They're testing using the DS as a travel guide--when your plane lands, you get info on where to get your luggage, where to find a restaurant, etc.
Delta's DS Travel Stations do this right now...
Yep.

Wii Music looks like a lot of fun.
And no surprise that the MotionPlus comes with a new Sports game, looks fun.

Looks like Guitar Hero for people with no rhythm or timing...
My parents will love it.
Yep.

My opinion? Dog Poop.
Another E3 from Nintendo catering to the Mass Media and "Expanded Audience",
and they're doing this with a music game that sounds horrible. No. No thanks.
Show me something more interesting at the Developer Roundtable or I go crazy.

Wii music sounds cool. Everything else, eh.
Currently the only thing I use my Wii for is Wii Fit. Though I've been meaning to finish Galaxy and Twilight Princess and give RE4 another run with the wii mote. All on the back burner with GTAIV and Bioshock...

Nintendo said they were no longer competing, and getting Mario 128, Zelda and Metroid off their back was their priority. It's now up to third party developers to satisfy the hardcore gamers with a Wii, other then that I would consider it filler.
Your scientists have yet to discover how neural networks create self-consciousness, let alone how the human brain processes two-dimensional retinal images into the three-dimensional phenomenon known as perception. Yet you somehow brazenly declare that seeing is believing!

well, I'm glad to see Nintendo trying.
Does anyone see City-Swimmer? Is he gliding beneath the silver water? Is he creeping 'round a corner, hugging a wall, silent as a shadow in the dark?

So nothing interesting then.
I wonder if buying a Wii was a mistake, seems the best titles are already out and well, this was just boring and uninteresting, there was nothing there I am interested in.
Guess Nintendo is going into overdrive with their new gamer demographic.
This will never happen, most 3rd party companies seem perfectly content to dole out shovelware.
It doesn't help that the shovelware sells and the hardcore content as it where sells poorly(or at least poorly compared to the shovelware).

Being a Nintendo fanboy, this line of announcements is just subpar. I'm all for WiiSports Resort, it looks fun and could be a good sequel to the first. But lack of Mario, Link, and Samus in any form is kinda got me thinking it's gonna be a 360 year next year.

Nintendo has some pages up for the new games. http://e3.nintendo.com/
http://e3.nintendo.c...sing/index.html
I have to say... I'm really disappointed with Animal Crossing Wii so far. Watching that video, I don't see one significant new feature that wasn't in the DS game. Sure, you can use your Mii, but that doesn't affect gameplay... and it looks like the same shops are just restructured into one "mall" instead of spread throughout the town. Other than that... it's a freakin' port.
The text says that we'll see the return of "proper" holidays, including Halloween and Bunny Day, which is an improvement over the DS version, but the same as the GCN version. You could already visit other people's towns in the DS game. They mention the same items to collect as previous games: bugs, fish, fossils. Every animal and every piece of furniture in the video comes from a previous game. So... really, what IS new here? It honestly took them three years to smooth out the DS graphics and add voice chat and Miis?

Not so much novelty dude, as lack of new stuff. A new Zelda game actually developed for the wii and not a GC port would be immense, same with metroid.
Hell any new stuff would be good, not just resting on your laurels.
