Nintendo had their press conference just before Sony's today and they announced some exciting new titles for both the Wii and the DSi. They kicked off the conference with a New Super Mario Brothers Wii announcement that showed that Nintendo was looking to please the more "harcore" of their audience. I saw some gameplay from the show floor and it looks cool. They also announced a new Zelda game for the DSi. The shocked a lot of people when they announced Super Mario Galaxy 2, now I just want to know it Miyamoto is on the development team like he was for the first one that was so critically acclaimed.
They also announced some third party titles that were definitely geared towards an older audience like The Conduit, Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles,and Dead Space:Extraction. They showed a new peripheral the Wii Vitality Sensor that reads your pulse or something like that, I fail to see the practical application of this to a game but we'll have to see what they plan to do.
Nintendo seemed to focus on their big franchises by also announcing a new Metroid game Metroid:The Other M.The brief glimpse we got to see of it was pretty cool. Overall Nintendo stuck with the tried and true and revitalized old franchises which they said was their goal. Their press conference was not as awe inspiring as Microsoft's but hey whatever works right?
