What's up with that?
Anyone who's paid any attention to the Ninty side of E3 this year would have to be a fanboy to not agree that it's been a total non-event. An extreme lack of any really big announcements other than some complete cashin Pokemon games and some terrible GBA link-up things.
What's going on with Nintendo?
They say they've adopted a more aggressive approach an then they attend the biggest gaming show in the world and there wasn't a single thing on show that was really good that we hadn't seen before. Sony announce the Playstation portable, new Gran Turismo game, new MGS game, they announce a massive deal with EA for exclusive rights to the online sports line-up. Microsoft unveil Halo 2, Doom 3 amongst other things.
Where's all the amazing 1st party support from Nintendo?
Oh and to rub salt in the wounds, every single person at IGN says that Mario Kart is too slow.

If they had more time there could have been a LOT more dungeons, in the form of the Triumph Forks ;-) That would have added at least 8 more dungeons.
As for the two they dropped, I bet it was a Goron Sage and an actual third level.

I'm not liking the look of Geist.
Before me and MwA were wondering how you could die and why they don't use nintendo tie-ins. In the end I'm hoping the final boss is Luigi with his hoover and you turn out to be either a dead Mario or Bowser.
Damn them!

Not sure - perhaps dying in the possessed body without leaving it kills you......

To create new francises. We don't always want Nintendo familiarity.

It'll probably play good, but could get boring I think. Being a ghost and all, it is very boring. I am a Ghost, trust me.
The visuals are nothing special either, but they look better when in motion.

Oh and I'm for the Luigi boss :-P

But it would be great, going through the whole game thinking you're some really shady character and ending up being Mario. Surprises are what make games so good, but there aren't many these days. I was thinking maybe if you were detected it was game over, a bit like a Splinter Cell-esque game.
Anyway, where is this Prime 2 vid?

I dount its that stealthy, seeing as the game appears to be builat around both stealth and PD style combat.
