Nintendo’s E3 2010 was, without a doubt, better than E3 2009, 2008, and 2007. However, I don’t think anything can top E3 2006 with the unveiling of the Wii and the long lines and stampedes to the console.
Most interesting is how Nintendo is making game journalists obsolete. Iwata Asks has Iwata interview his own developers and ask all the more interesting questions. On Nintendo’s website, interviews with full video were shown where they describe the products. This means Nintendo is bypassing biased game journalists who often ‘write against’ whatever Nintendo does. Nintendo seems interested in taking their stuff directly to the consumer.
What I think is most interesting is how right after the conference, Nintendo starts having people play their games. Nintendo anxiously wants everyone to get an experience with 3DS. This is very different from Microsoft with Kinect. Playing is believing. It was true in 2006 and still true in 2010.
Japan is the home of Nintendo’s main headquarters. Because of this, the country tends to get a lot more merchandising and goodies for Nintendo fans compared to the rest of the world.
A super-rare gold NES cartridge, of which only thirteen apparently exist in the world, is being put up for auction later today for a whopping price.
Is it really that rare? I used to have that for years, I ended up trashing it because I coudn't be bothered to sell it lol
No sunlight that day, apparently.
They should release it on NSO's GBA lineup. The Switch has a light sensor afterall! (Switch Lite owners would be out of luck though)
I don't think games would be able to 'hook into' the light sensor for automatic screen brightness.
The best way to play the game is with the fan patch that lets you adjust the amount of light the game is receiving at will. Make sure not to play at max sunlight for too long, or the game will punish you, keep the sunlight meter lowered in order to keep playing longer.

I think it really is genius, while talking to a person in a live chat we went back and forth over whether it's Celda again or not, with me thinking it is.
We came to the conclusion that it's a mix of the two, I guess to appease to both fans of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
I don't think that the perception for Skyward Sword will last that it has bad controls, reports are coming in of smooth gameplay and controls.
Another thing that is Interesting is Mario Sports Mix,
if the games have the depth of past Mario sports titles released that featured only one sport, then it has amazing potential for both the core and casual, it's like a breach title something they also called it if I remember correctly.
It seems Nintendo didn't really overload the presser but only teased things to be revealed slowly throughout E3, like check this out -

and this list of games

there's all types of new games they've revealed later on, even some with footage like Metal Gear Solid 3DS coming out.
good show overall, I wonder what else is in store for everyone.
