Nintendo Direct: Your Feedback?

I have to admit, I missed last night’s Nintendo Direct Conference.  Maybe it is because I was up at around 6:30 in the morning, or that I had to get up at 6:30 again this morning, or it might have been the horrible headache that I had.  Whatever the “excuse”, I don’t feel like I missed much.
