Though when is it supposed to launch again, early next year is it? Or late next year? Either way, for that reason it is surprising they're not talking about the Wii U much. My guess is it will get pushed back.
Now... a new design 3DS already?? I know it's a rumor, but wow if it's true. And they wonder why many people aren't buying the first iteration... though that's not really true, it's the same lack of killer apps not selling the 3DS in my opinion. Of course a price drop will spur sales, but it won't keep them going.

Oh I do believe the Wii U reveal was kind of forced on them after the initial leaks.
I felt like this was going to be Nintendo's e3 2005 where they mostly discuss the console and what they hope to achieve, but since all of those details were leaked earlier, they hobbled together a presentation on games and the likes...
The only problem though is with their silence since e3... well you get stuff like the rumors Angrist posted, which people will believe because there's nothing else
