I'm not sure if they are any interested into eshop releases of older games either. Maybe they didn't want to talk about it in the E3.
Uhhhh, I never expected AC, I mean everyone kind of said that most of that team was working on Splatoon, so that wasn't surprising in the slightest. The only thing that really strikes me as weird is the Mario and Luigi Paper Jam. I'm a fan of both series as a whole, and I don't really know how to feel about it. I just don't think they belong together, it's a very strange crossover. I mean, I'll accept it, I would rather have it than nothing at all, but I do hope they don't put the Sticker Star version of Paper Mario into it, that would be horrendous.
I just realized something.
Nintendo has been teasing that they're making a major third party partnership at E3. Many of us pretty much knew it was going to be something to do with Capcom, either Nintendo getting the Megaman franchise, something to do with Street Fighter seemed likely given Ryu in Smash, more Monster Hunter perhaps? Hell, maybe even Nintendo revealing that they took advantage of Capcom making themselves available to be bought out via a majority of their stock late last year.
Ladies and gentlemen, that big third party reveal we were looking forward to?
The thing they hyped up to be something big for the company?
Skylanders....
....Mother ****ing Skylanders...
I'm not even going to flip a table. I'm just going to sit here and look disgruntled.

A new Donkey Kong game?
PlasmaPower
I'm watching you nerds
I'm guessing you don't want to flip a table because your computer lies on that very desk?
No. a TURBO CHARGE Donkey Kong figure for Skylanders
...That may have something to do with it...
I'll just go to IKEA tomorrow and flip all the tables to make up for tonight.

Not so quietly disappointed about the lack of Pokemon Z. I kinda figured it wouldn't happen, but man.

This year's E3 was disappointing; in fact, it's one of the worst that I can remember in years. It's a shame, since I enjoyed Nintendo's E3 presentations in 2013 and 2014. Star Fox Zero looks promising, and so does Super Mario Maker, but those were already revealed last year, so they aren't surprises to me. As for everything else, it feels like Nintendo's primary goal was to troll fans, as opposed to releasing good games.
- Nintendo revealed the first Metroid game in five years, since Other M came out. Oh wait... it's a spin-off soccer game. Because the first thing that people think of when they think of Metroid is... soccer. Great.
- By far the biggest slap in the face was the Animal Crossing game for the Wii U. I had long hoped for an AC game for the Wii U... but what I wasn't hoping for was a spin-off! One that plays like Mario Party, no less. I lost interest in Mario Party since 2005, back when it used to be milked every year. And it relies so heavily on luck that it really isn't fun to play. So seeing an AC game that plays like Mario Party did not make me happy at all.
Not only that, but as the title implies, it relies heavily on amiibos. Amiibos are the dumbest idea that Nintendo has come up with in years. Not only are they difficult to find anywhere (without forking over a lot of money to scalpers), but they're essentially a paywall -- you need them to access content locked in the game. It's no better than controversial on-disk DLC. And there are so many of these things that it's nearly impossible to collect them all. Needless to say, I never wasted my money of any of them, and I never will. I hate that Nintendo is shoving this garbage down our throats more and more. It seems that they focus on amiibos more than games nowadays. (For the record, even if Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival had a Caroline or a Celia amiibo (my two favorite villagers), I still would never bother with them.)
Why Nintendo thought this was a better idea than a New Leaf successor is way beyond me. It seems that Nintendo is starting to milk this franchise as much as possible (especially when they're coming out with Happy Home Designer). I fear that the Animal Crossing series will return to the slump that it was in from 2005-2012 (thanks to Wild World and City Folk). It's really a shame... I wanted to see a proper Animal Crossing game in HD which would make good use of the GamePad. But it looks like it will never happen now... I've ranted about this enough, so let's move on.
- Many franchises were missing. While the lack of Pok?mon doesn't bother me much (since we get a game every year now), I would at least liked to see DLC in OR/AS like the Battle Frontier. F-Zero, Wario Land, and Donkey Kong were also missing, and I may be forgetting some others as well. Oh, and no Mother 3 either, which I'm sure that some people were hoping for.
- There's still no announcement of the small New 3DS in North America.
That's most of why I was disappointed, though there are probably other things that I'm not thinking of at the moment...
