It's possible Nintendo chose not to reveal it in the conference on account of it being one of the few games that doesn't use the Wii-mote. It wouldn't have fit in with the conference's theme,
I think it's also a safe bet we'll see Sonic Wild Fire in action.
WTF is with Excite Truck anyway? Why not Excite Bike? The only explanation I can think of is that the Wii-Mote will work as a gear-shift and the the analog attachment as the steering wheel. Or this could just be Nintendo's sad attempt at being butch.

Tiger Woods (or I was lead to believe it would be there)
Perhaps a peek at Fight Night
Anything from Capcom or Namco? Hmm.........

I have. : )
And really, what about Capcom and Namco? I know they have something cooking.

You hold the wiimote sideways and control the truck with motion. I thought it looked good. Wave Race good. Pretty environments and ridiculous amounts of air time.
Anyway. It'd be nice if there was a bombshell in our near future, but I'm not holding my breath.

It does look good but, again, why trucks?
Is there anyone who honestly wouldn't have preferred a new Excite Bike over this?

Also, big questions about games.
We are missing some very big developers. Have they jumped ship? Or is there something we don't know about?
Also, what about that footage of the game with the dude holding a flash light....what was that game?

Eh...uh...apart from sentimental reasons, does it really matter? Excitebike's style was sort of defined with the n64 title, and they probably didn't want to go against that. with this one. Besides, weren't you guys saying you wanted Nintendo to make more new franchises?

I would say Capcom and Namco have something to offer. As to why it wasn't revealed yet, I guess it can't hurt to have more announcements over the summer.

I know Nibris, developers of Sadness have said numerous times that Sadness would include controlling the flashlight with the wiimote...but that game is in B & W, and this preview wasn't....
I know nothing of anime, but isn't Gundam One Piece one game?

"According to EGM, Wii versions of Mario and Super Smash Bros. titles will launch this fall, but Metroid Prime 3 now carries a tentative 2007 release date." Which was posted this morning before the conference... so by not launching, do you think it might be something similar to SSB:M where it's released not long after?

Now all that talk about spreading their releases out makes sense....they were just saving face for SSB's delay!

Deep down, I had a feeling that SSBR wouldn't be shown, what with Sakurai taking office only recently.. still disappointing though.

Resident Evil game is in the works as is a Tramua Center game

Edit: but SSB at launch would be a huge system-seller, which at that point is far, far more important than first-party game sales. I think they just haven't been able to develop it far enough. Hopefully they're taking the time to playtest the bejeesus out of it.

YOu found one flaw in that logic, the other is that sadness takes place pre WWI. I believe that nibris said sadness would be controlling a torch.

Plus they've made a semi-big-deal out of not having the patented Nintendo long-assed drought after launch. Spreading out the releases a bit so as not to allow some interesting games to get sort of written off as an afterthought isn't that bad a thing. It seems like there are enough games in the pipeline here to get off your 20 launch titles with 5 or 6 big names and still have at least one major release every month up to the next E3.
Assuming we get a November launch, we could see
Launch: Mario, Zelda, Disaster, Pilotwings, Wii Sports, Two SE titles, Red steel, a dozen or so other titles
December: SSB
January: Resident Evil: Whatever Edition, Wario Ware
February: MP3
March: New Sonic Title, Fire Emblem
April: Namco RPG, Excite Truck
May: E3 2007

Ehhh. I'd alter that quite a bit. Pilotwings seems more like a December release to me. Disaster could be a long way away, I think. All we saw was 5 seconds of CGI. Also, I think Crystal Chronicles could be pretty far off... SSB might be too, despite what Iwata has said in the past.
Launch: Mario, Zelda, WiiSports, Excite Truck, WarioWare, Project HAMMER, Red Steel, and I'm hoping that there is some musical game, too (we saw lots of people using the wiimote in this way, but no game footage)
December: Pilotwings, Sonic
January: probably not much...
February: MP3, Crystal Chronicles
March: Disaster, Resident Evil(?)
April: Super Smash Brothers

But I thought Square-Enix said that FF:CC and DQ would be launch titles?

Anyway, as much as I want Mario at launch, I also want it to be a brilliant game. I want it to blow me away, and that can't happen if it's rushed. With Zelda out for launch, even though it's also a GameCube game, it takes some pressure off Mario, so that it doesn't need to be out so soon. And with so many other games, I think they should hold off on Mario and SSB for later on..
