Nintendo had another press conference earlier this month. Probably to reverse the damage done to their stocks via the economic crisis. This Kotaku article outlines the whole event.

They showcased the upcoming "Play On Wii" titles, Gamecube titles with Wii Motion Control.

Pass.

Super Pass no...Wii Pass.

They had a few first/third party titles to show Sin and Punishment 2, which looks cool as a rental, Wii Punch Out, which looks awesome but again as a rental, and Conduit, which is a first real attempt from a third party publisher to make a good FPSer. The genre is getting a little tired though, so I have "cautious optimism" with this one. Potential rentals, but nothing spectacular.

The main focus of the event was obviously the DSi, an attempt to merge the DS in with the iPhone/iTouch/iReferToMyselfAsI crowd. This should have been done with the DS Lite. There are no new DS titles of interest coming out and the market is saturated with DS Lites. Why the hell would anyone besides a hardcore Nintendo fan spend 60 more dollars for a DS with features that are okay but you can something better for less or several dollars more? Not interested at all. And neither were stock holders.

Here's an idea, Nintendo: Mario and Zelda iterations are great, but why not come up with something new? Even with the Gamecube, you had Animal Crossing and Pikmin, two new IPs. What about the Wii?

Those are my thoughts. I hate hating on Nintendo. They've had me as a customer since 5 years old. But I feel them slipping to the lure of the easier casual market. :\
