Panorama View is cooler than I expected... I thought it was just 3D graphics, but it's actually 360° movies.

Google Maps Streetview on the Pad... genius.

It's a bit sad that Pikmin has been delayed. Now what great games will we get in the coming months?
I really think Nintendo should work on new games really fast. What's Retro Studios doing for example?

I assume their resources are spread thinner than they expected with both the 3DS and Wii U needing their attention.

I wager they expected to have more 3rd party support on the handheld to help with their release gaps and that just hasn't happened it would seem.

I actually sat through most of this, some of it was pretty neat. Since I am getting a 3DS for Xmas I actually paid attention to some of that stuff this time.

I dont think the Google street view software should cost money though! That should be free.
