Haha, no, I do not! "Absolute agreement"? Hardly.

It was pivotal that they did something new with this game than simply a new Mario with more enemies or new abilities, the first NSMB was probably amazing for those who had never played a Mario game before, but it didn't really add anything worthwhile for veterans aside from the major graphical upgrade. The co-op mode is going to add a lot to this game.
Overall, an excellent conference for Nintendo. I think they filled the needs of a lot of gamers. It was, however, surprising that neither Zelda nor Pikmin, or even a new IP made an appearance. The fact that Motion+ wasn't heavily promoted by new games that would make use of it was disturbing as well, but announcements of Motion+ exclusive games could be coming later in the year, so I'm not worried.
I mentioned that Nintendo needed to do something new with NSMB Wii, which implies that I was discontent with NSMB for the DS. This is not absolute agreement. I didn't expand on my thoughts of SMG2, but I am fearful of it being too similar to the original game. This is not absolute agreement. Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again is apparently basically the same game as the DS one, which is not the way Nintendo should be going; they should be adding some sort of new gameplay element to encourage players of the previous game to buy the new one. This is not absolute agreement. I am also highly skeptical about how useful the Wii Vitality Sensor will be without any specific software announced for it. Like I said though, they must have something to give a meaningful purpose to the sensor, or else they would not be releasing it. This is not absolute agreement.
I also expressed some disappointment in the last blurb there, concerning the fact that they failed to unveil a new IP that will please "hardcore" gamers. This is something they really need to do imo.
Please don't think that I am in absolute agreement with everything that Nintendo does; because I'm not, I just really enjoy the good things that Nintendo has done for the industry, which are plentiful this generation. I should have elaborated on my thoughts though, sorry!

Don't they have some extra content available by linking the PSP game with ACII for PS3 or something? Maybe they demoed it there so they could mention that.
