For any Nintendo fans that thought the Nintendo conference was bad:

"Now we look at it more... an opportunity for us to introduce new concepts and new types of play that we intend to bring to the broader audience, particularly because of the media that gathers at E3 now."
We're slightly conflicted over whether we think his point is valid. Whilst it's true that mainstream media watches E3 with interest, those who cried actual tears back in 2006 when Twilight Princess was unveiled hardly work for MSNBC.
Miyamoto also went on to remind gamers that more traditional games are on the way:
"So while attending an E3 event like this, they might be given the impression that Nintendo is no longer focusing on the games that appeal to the core gamer, in fact we're still working on many of those titles, but it's just not the type of event where we'll be showcasing that anymore."
So we gamers still have loads of awesome stuff to come... we hope. Nintendo just needs to showcase them sooner rather than later.
