Dr. Gerlicky's Miracle Diet

And Pikmin.

And Paper Mario title/release period. And Luigi's Mansion title/release period.

 

And the fact that there's still one more part to the conference, the 3DS one tomorrow.

 

I personally think that Nintendo's trying something similar to their approach with the 3DS; big name first party game, but let the 3rd party devs handle the brunt of promotion and system sellers, until they launch their big name smash hits.

To be completely fair, Rayman Origins was critically acclaimed. Whether the Wii U sequel of Rayman Legends will do just as good or become another one of those early-gen "gimmick games" remains to be seen, but I have high hopes for it. Rayman has always been one of my all time favorite video game heroes.

 

Of course, this doesn't matter much if I don't intend to get a Wii U, so I guess I'm just rambling pointlessly.

I didn't see much of Rayman Legends, so I can't really say whether or not it fits into the "shovelware" category, though I honestly doubt it because it looks absolutely gorgeous. Usually shovelware games are just those lousy multiplayer party minigame collections.

 

To be fair, Pikmin 3 is definitely not shovelware or Mario either, and the name isn't stupid. There were a lot of decent games that I just briefly saw screens of, so I can't really say much about them. But beyond Pikmin 3, Nintendo did a really lousy job this year.

I'm hoping for some good news at the 3DS presser tomorrow, though I've a horrible feeling it'll be mostly focusing on already-announced games.
