These are the things we thought Nintendo would mention yesterday at their E3 2009 press conference, but didnāt:
Virtual Console For The DSi: We were almost positive that Nintendo would be expanding the DSi store with downloadable classics for the Game Boy and Game Boy Advance, but apparently Nintendo isnāt quite ready to plumb that particular revenue stream.
Games That Take Advantage Of The DSiās Power: The Nintendo DSi is a bit more powerful than the Nintendo DS, but theyāve yet to present us with any DSi-specific cartridge-based titles that take full advantage of this.
Retro Studios: Nintendoās main studio in the United States has made some superbly well-reviewed Metroid games and is polishing a compilation disc of all three that they made. So maybe it was time, we thought, for Nintendo to tell us at E3 2009 what Retro is doing next? No dice.
Shigeru Miyamoto: We know Shiggy was at the conference; why didnāt he show up for the press conference? Do we smell? Donāt answer that.
Kind Code: Can we talk about Nintendoās new difficulty-shifting technology erroneously christened āKind Codeā? We can? We will! Oh wait, no we wonāt.
New Zelda: We were hoping for a big announcement of a new Zelda game for the Nintendo Wii, but weāll just have to settle for Miyamotoās assurances for now.

Pikmin 3: No new Pikmin? Miyamoto says heās sorry.

Did Nintendo omit anything you were expecting?
WiiWare: Where, oh where, was the WiiWare? While Nintendo didnāt put a big emphasis on WiiWare at the conference, their official press release did list several games, many of which have been mentioned previously ā Bit.Trip.Core, Swords and Soldiers, Cave Story ā pretty exciting games that we suppose they just didnāt have time to show off.
