Really. They're showing only one video game and not doing a video presentation like last year?
It's 9 am PT/Noon Eastern lol

Nintendo: "Our new Nintendo direct will focus mainly on ARMS and Splatoon 2!"
Gaf: "Holy shit, get ready for Pokemon Stars and Metroid Prime 4!!"
Nintendo: Our new Nintendo direct will focus mainly on 2017 Switch games including Super Mario Odyssey!"
Gaf: "Wow, it's fucking nothing!"

That's fine for you, others have different expectations.
I don't see Pokemon taking another year off.
There's no way mainline game is not coming.

people just start to dream. i remember people expecting nintendo to go all in for the january event with 20+ core titles lol.
people WILL be dissapointed because they already know about all the big titles in 2017, neogaf will be like "that's it?".

I was hoping the detail in this thread would blow my own hat off not just Mario's
I'm saying with how people reacted last year to E3 they may as well go in with low expectations because I'm not expecting it to be bad anyway.

So are they doing a direct style video again or an actual live presentation?, because they haven't mentioned "Direct" once in that announcement and the website is e3.nintendo.com.

You miss
- Fire Emblem Warriors
- Mario x Rabbid RPG (if it is real)
I don't have insane expectations like many others since I am happy about what I currently get to play on Switch. If all the above are to be shown, I will be very happy.

That's nice, man. Have you read this thread at all, or are you just here to spout.

Typical Nintendo over reaction thread/comments.
It just says the focus will be on 2017 titles. I mean, of course it will be. They're not going to show a few short clips of Mario Odyssey etc and put the focus on 2018 titles are they?

So happy for a dedicated focus on Switch during the Spotlight.
That being said I hope they don't spend much time on ARMS during the Spotlight, considering ARMS will be coming out that week, not to mention the tournament and probably loads of Treehouse stuff.
Have they mentioned previously if they are going to detail their online service at E3?
Obligatory: Metroid and Mother 3/Trilogy collection please.

I heard somewhere thats what the big multiplayer 3DS kirby game is gonna be coming later this year. Maybe im mistaken.
After the last two Digital Events were announced with (more or less) funny hype videos, this feels pretty low key and unexciting in comparison. Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come at E3. Switch is doing great so far, but I don't think they are in a position yet where it's advisable to hold their cards close to the chest.
Well, Metroid Is Dead you know...

Finally! I'm kind of bummed that they didn't use a Reggie video but I'm just glad to know their plans! I find it interesting that they say it'll be about 2017 games. Definitely seems to imply that they have more to announce for this year. Also says that their 2018 plans aren't going to be fully detailed at E3, which I think is a smart move.
Sounds good - they probably have a bunch of surprises in store if they can focus on 2017 mostly...need that Monster Hunter confirmation.
You know why....god forbid on a company focusing on stuff they have lined up for the next 12 months instead of Shenmue3/7R situation where you end up waiting decades for a new screenshot.

How did people react last year? Kimishima told us last year April at the investors meeting that E3 2016 was going to be about Zelda only. We all knew what E3 2016 was going to be about before we headed into it.
There was a thread not long ago confirming they are not doing a live presentation.
It's a direct with a different name.

ARMS releases 2 days after the event, they're not gonna wait with the full reveal until then.
reviews will be out before it anyway.
otherwise this sounds about right.

Keeping expectations for new things low.

Pretty sure we'll still get one or two 2018 announcements.
Definitely pre-recorded
As in with how people reacted when they heard only Zelda would be shown.
Obviously it was negative.

Yep, Nintendo is gonna Nintendo. It's gonna be a lot about MO, Arms, Splatoon 2, maybe 10 minutes interviewing some random developer. We may get thrown a bone or two.
"Xenoblade 2 was a 2017 game, but it's now a 2018 game"
Well this certainly does not sound very good. I'm guessing we will get a Mario blowout like we had with Zelda last year and probably not much else. Xenoblade 2 will probably come out this year in Japan but I have serious doubts it will make it to the West this year. I really hope Nintendo has tricks up their sleeve for this year...

Ah ok thanks, it's interesting how they keep saying "with a focus on games launching in 2017", it seems like they won't announce any new games coming in 2018?

I'm hoping for some news on OS updates that breathes life into the system. Turned on my Switch yesterday after two weeks and it's so drab.
It's great that they aren't focusing 3DS. Good riddance to that thing.

They only ever had one E3 Direct anyway (the first year they didn't have a conference). Afterwards they pumped up the production values and called it a Digital Event.
Now it got yet another name. Who knows what that means (or if it means anything).
it is a misunderstanding on your part, yes

I can't feel much hype for a Mario game in the vein of 64 and Sunshine.

Btw, I am very excited to hear more about Project Octopath Traveler. I hope I am not the only one.
