While this was called a "Press Conference", this wasn't for the "Press" as we gaming nerds see it.  It's not for Kotaku, IGN, NWR or random nerd with a camcorder and YouTube channel.

This conference is for USA Today, New York Times, CNN, FOX and MSNBC.  This is for the folks who really want an overview of what's coming out so they can print a story about it.

If it's just for those news outlets, why were they broadcasting their press conference live on both SpikeTV and MTV2?  Both of those channels are targeted at teen to thirty something males (especially Spike).  Are those the same people that read the NYTimes or watch CNN and Fox News?  Why broadcast it to those demographics if they weren't targeting those people with this press conference?

There is another conference tomorrow. They said it's focused on 3DS, but maybe they will slip a few Wii U bombs in there.

But it was a little disapointing to not see anything we didnt already know was coming except for Nintendoland.

We didn't know about SiNG either. Just saying.

I don't feel like I have any worthwhile new information at all.

2 GamePad support. That was important even if it should have been confirmed last year.

They should have detailed their online strategy more.

Regarding 2 gamepad support, I don't think it was in their plans a year ago.  I think the outcry from fans made them go back and see if they could do it.  I think they always planned on doing just one gamepad.  It is the reason why they didn't have any dual gamepad games.  I think they added extra power to the system just to make sure it would support two gamepads.  I wouldn't be surprised if no teams were even working on any games that could use two gamepads until October of last year at the earliest.

They did better than M$ and Sony, but that isn't saying much.  Glad the forums came back quick.

Wow, he sounded sarcastic about saying thanks about the time to talk about the 3DS.

Cool.  A pedometer that you can upload directly to the gamepad.  So you can add running to Wii Fit.  Maybe that'll actually get me to buy that game.

So three games so far.  20 more to go. Hopefully they aren't all just 5 second clips in a montage.

So that screen was from NSM U.  Interesting.  They are promoting speedrunning.  Nice.

That is a bit too cluttered and I think the pop up windows are annoying.

Stereo speakers on the gamepad.  That is something I was not expecting from Nintendo. They always skimp on the audio.

I'm watching Spike in HD. 

I really hope they sell those stuffed Pikmin. They are cute.

This game is definitely nice looking.  And the new way to control Pikmin is quite awesome.

It's pretty much the size of the Wii. And yes, that controller is big.

My guess is in year 3+ we will start to see games that do away with 3D completely so they can look much better.
