I am shocked, in a good way. This game looks great. Instead of me writing a review about it like the previous games I will just let the video speak for itself. I would like to know everyone's thoughts on this game!
 

One game that was not mentioned during the E3 Press Conference was Game & Wario for the Wii U. The game is a series of mini-games much like previous Wario games. The first game is called Arrow, use the Gamepads screen to shoot arrows at targets on the screen. the further back you pull the further and faster the arrow travels. Also shoot bomb arrows to blow up the small Mecha-Warios. At one point the Mecha's appear on the Gamepad, at this point use your finger to destroy them.

Second mini game is Shutter. In this game your assigned to take certain pictures of characters. Use the Gamepad to zoom in and take a picture at this point you are rated based on the pictures quality and size (think Pokemon Snap).

Third game is called Fruit. The objective of this game is to find the thief of the stolen fruit. The Gamepad shows the characters and you have to choose the suspected food thief. At this point you hand the Gamepad to a second player to guess at the thief.

The fourth game (not shown) involves Johnny skiing down a slope. The gamepad displays the same way as on the screen. Tilting left and right to control the way Johnny skis, aiming him towards ice and jumps to speed him up and trying to avoid patches of dirt that would slow him down. 

The game is schedule to come along with a total of 10 mini-games.
 
Engadget's got these first images of the Netflix app prototype in action. 
It looks like the app will allow you to browse the movie queue from the Gamepad. It also allows you to watch video directly from the Gamepad as well.
 
Kotaku's Stephen Totilo get's some hands on time with the so far presented games. Ok, so we got the best for last. This is The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest. This is not an actual Zelda game. In this game you control Mii. 5 people play and use Skyward motion controls. The Gamepad holder is an Archer. Tilt the controller to move virtually in the actual game. You have the ability to use the left analog stick to move the camera instead of your actual body. Once you run out the arrows if you level out your Gamepad it refills your arrows. Get to the end of the level and work together to get to the end. You get hearts in the game the same way you would in a different Zelda game. Boss battle does happen at the end. I am most excited for this game personally. That concludes the so far announced games to Nintendo Land. There is 12 of them in total but Nintendo has only revealed 5 of them at this point. As soon as we get word of others we will let everyone know as well. 
 
Kotaku's Stephen Totilo get's some hands on time with the so far presented games. Next up is Donkey Kong's Crash Course. The goal of the game is to guide the cart through the maze by tilting the actual Gamepad itself. Other controls for the game are just to move the actual camera angle itself. In this game you are timed and during the course of the game you are collecting bananas like the ones in Donkey Kong Country. This is also a single player game. 
 
Kotaku's Stephen Totilo get's some hands on time with the so far presented games.  Now for our 3rd mini game presentation in the Wii U's launch title Nintendo Land we have Takamaru's Ninja Castle. Very simple concept to this game, this is a target shooting game. The Wii U Gamepad will used as a controller, rather than a screen like the other games. Use your finger to swipe the Ninja star using the Gamepad to point. The speed and vigor of your swipe also determines how the star will move in the actual game. The Gamepad can be tilted and the stars will be tilted on the screen as well. Pressing right on the D-Pad will re-sync the Gamepad on the screen, kind of like Motion sensor for Skyward Sword. You get three heard containers and must avoide getting hit by the other Ninjas. Simple one player game, looks fun as well. 
 
Kotaku's Stephen Totilo get's some hands on time with the so far presented games. 2nd game is Animal Crossing: Sweet Day. In this game, as crazy as this sounds, you control two guards at the same time using the two analog sticks. Your objective is to stop the 4 players on the game. The objective of the 4 characters are to collect a combined total of 50 pieces of candies. No need to be facing the TV with the Wii U Gamepad. To those familiar with "The World End With You" game this is attention splitting. Meaning you have to multitask. Another great party game to play with several others. 
 
These cases were also shown at E3. Nintendo and PDP have joined forces to come up with a series of iPhone cases. The release dates are somewhere near October, pricing has not been revealed at the moment. Both Zelda series and Super Mario series cases have been confirmed
