It wasn’t all hardcore fan service and technology from Nintendo, however. The company still have to reach out to their casual audience, and for us more core players those segments of the conference can be a giant snoozefest.

In my opinion, there have been some top notch point-and-click adventure titles on both Wii and DS: the Ace Attorney series, Another Code and Professor Layton immediately spring to mind. New entries for all three of these franchises are on the way and would have been heartily welcomed by myself in Nintendo’s presentation.

Sadly, Nintendo sided with a trio of new intellectual properties which just didn’t do anything for me. Style Savvy, C.O.P and Women’s Murder Club all look pretty ghastly and I’m not going to waste more than 200 words on this blog.

130 will do.
