Sorry I'm late, kid and wife came home right when this started.
 
THings I saw at a glance:

New Mario with four players
More Wii Fit - six new activities, 16 balance games
Motion Plus reel (mostly stuff we've seen)
Now getting more sports resort, with bow and arrow stuff, which looks fun. You first land at the resort with a skydive
Next up shooting basketball game splitscreen competition. It looks terrible, with two widescreen aspect ratio screens next to each other.
Next up third party Wii-motion plus games
Mentions that more third party games sold on Wii and DS last year than any other.
Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers shown
New Kingdom Hearts type game exclusive. I thought I saw a Wii version, but now I see mostly DS, maybe with co=op four player? Weird.
Mario and Luigi: Bowser's inside story, also on DS. Also an RPG?
They mentioned a big innovation in the beginning, so maybe a camera? ;)
Right now though my goodness I'm not sure if I can watch this to the end.

A lot of third party games have been shown that we already knew about.
Level editor for Mario and Donkey Kong DS
A full game creation software for the DS
DSi photos can be uploaded to Facebook
Now Iwata adds a Wii-Vitality sensor. :D

Mario Galaxy 2? Looks like it. Yes, lady presenter you are correct, this is more Mario than I can handle.
Some more third party exclusives we all already know about, like Conduit, Dead Space
Ah, Metroid Project M, by Team Ninja? That looks pretty good.

And that's it. Wow.
 
Wii Sports resort, so we find out the games include are:

Table tennis
Kayaking
Jetski
Archery
Frisbee
Golf
Basketball
Sword fighting

I think that's it, earlier rumors had the total at 8 anyway. From what I saw, it looks like another best seller for Nintendo.
 
Facebook on DSi. I still don't get it, but this will probably be HUGE. A camera, plus DSi, plus Facebook support?
 
I'm shocked they still haven't learned that putting a Japanese exec who barely speaks English on stage is a bad idea.

Oh, I just laughed out loud in my office when I heard him talk about the Wii Vitality Sensor peripheral. :(
 
I have no idea how the Wii Vitality Sensor works or why anyone would want it, but I suspect that somewhere, somehow it feeds into people's faddish sensibilities. I did sorta understand the Balance Board, though, or at least Wii Fit as a product, so I dunno.

Hahahaha, Team Ninja working on a Metroid game?

I have to say that glancing at GAF at a moment like this is hilarious. 4 different metroid threads, 3 Mario Galaxy 2 threads.
