That's exaggeration, but not much:
Super Mario 3D World, which looks like Super Mario 3D Land, but with multiplayer. Sure it will be great, but not exciting.
Mario Kart, which looks like Mario Kart.
Retro's new game... is indeed Donkey Kong related. Too bad it's just another Donkey Kong Country Returns. If you somehow haven't become sick of retro 2d Nintendo-system platformers, yay?
Smash Brothers, which looks like Smash Brothers with more non-Nintendo characters.

I'm not sure Nintendo can even reasonably hope for Gamecube survival level.

Yeah my post was more about hoping for mouse/keyboard support (not very clear I know) for games. Much better idea than including a camera.

Nintendo is just doing more of the same. More great games that will sell really well and kids games that will sell really well. They are obviously content with that.

Nintendo needs to go back to the old controller -- at least for games like Zelda. Fuck raising your arm every time you slash. I do enough of that beating the meat.

The numbers aren't arbitrary.

3% of the people who voted will buy XBONE.
60% of the people who voted will buy PS4.
75% of the people who voted will be using their PC for gaming.
This. It shows the total number of voters at the top confirming the result.

Except they're not selling well. The 3ds is down yoy in sales worldwide, must likely due to the ever increasing popularity of iOS and android gaming, and the Wii U is not selling anywhere.

Nintendo needed something really special for this Nintendo direct, and they had nothing. They failed to deliver big time.

Somebody should remove the console and photoshop the NSA bunker in.

Anyways, i don't really want to buy a console, but i'm half-tempted to get a PS4. Just to support Sony who seems to have come to its senses, and realised this whole buisness is actually about videogames and not a facebook-angrybirds-TV-platform thing.

Nintendo is like that pet you grew up with and loved. Sadly it just needs to be put to sleep now.

I dunno about that. The DS was the best device of last generation. Sadly it looks like the 3DS will not be able to remake that magic.
