This year at the Nintendo booth, there was a bit of everything, though perhaps not all from Nintendo themselves. What they did show off was interesting to say the least. The focus for the company seemed to be on Nintendo Land in which they dedicated a huge back portion of their booth to the decor. Aside from that it also seemed they were trying to make a big impact with their Wii U GamePad and asymmetric gameplay. It remains to be seen how the public at large will react to the new system.
All impressions for Nintendo this year are in video form.
