FFVI in the same style as Bravely Default (in HD) would be perfectly serviceable and probably not too terribly expensive.
I'd buy it.

Reggie: Nintendo will have a big E3 this year.

I'd buy it.
Alternately, they could do a Final Fantasy I 30th anniversary edition. They love remaking the original. They've done it so many times already, what's one more.

Amano on it of course. And Orchestral music.
Yeah, a man can dream.

Bombs can drop regardless of it's a stage presentation or a Direct (or Digital Event in E3's case), it's a matter of if the content is compelling.
Yep. While I vastly prefer digital events and thought the "live presentation" part of their january switch event was terrible, the new games they announced got me hyped as fuck. Everything else faded into the background.
It's good showmanship to appear on stage. It can do great things if done right. I love directs but others disregard it as if Nintendo has almost no presence. They should be live on stage. Do directs throughout the year, but only ONCE every year at e3 come be live on stage.
And selfishly, I would love live reactions to things
I miss seeing them live at E3. It's been years. And the Switch is being successful, they should keep that momentum. I think live on stage is how you do it.
The live presentation in January was done in Japan and it was very Japanese. I think it could be move westernized at E3.
I've seen e3 for many years, and for the last couple, co workers, friends, family (call them casuals) felt like it was all about Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo who?

They had literally one game to showcase last year with no live conference and many people still thought they "won" E3.

Hoping it's a live conference because they are ALWAYS more memorable
I don't want to see Pokemon Stars, Xenoblade 2, whatever, without some audience interaction.
I mean it probably will be a direct but I'd like a switch up this year.
Yes please, Live conference.
I understand.
As breath of the wild was/is amazing. And I think it won best game at e3, absolutely but not best conference, not that they won e3 overall. I remember the focus being that the best game shown was Zelda. I was very excited but then I get to work and people laugh because they only had one game, no matter how good it was.
That's wrong.
Again.
I get excited, love the presence with direct, and so do my close Nintendo die hards. But then, I go to the my Facebook feed, go to work, have casual conversations, and Nintendo is completely disregarded or out of the picture.
This could be different for others.
This, Zelda blew away everyone at the show-floor as well as those watching from home, & Nintendo didn't even have a Digital Event that year. Plus it's not like the major gaming sites don't advertise Nintendo's Digital Events alongside the other press conferences. And judging by the views that said Digital Events get, it's not like people outside of the Nintendo hardcore don't watch them.
PS4 is where it is right now because of a live e3 conference they nailed.
They had no games and sold so much regardless. The games are more or less here now, but they were not at launch. Yet they sold like hotcakes
There's a lot to say about good sportsmanship
Why not both?
An amazing live press conference with Direct charm. Nothing to lose but lots to gain.

You're overestimating the conference itself, it was more of Sony capitalizing on Microsoft's fuck-ups leading up to November 2013. By the time Microsoft undid all the DRM bullshit about the Xbox One before its launch, the damage was already done & Sony already got most of the gaming masses on their side.
I mean, we have hard numbers about media coverage, mentions on social medias etc. to prove who had the biggest impact at each E3. Being showcased in a Digital Event or in a press conference has little to no bearing in awareness.
But will it have MARIO 64 physics or just nsmb physics? We will need another thread of gif analysis.
It's hard to imagine something big first party wise for this year, after Zelda Switch will get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, Mario Odissey and Xenoblade 2, can we really expect them to announce a Pokemon game for this year? i think not, i guess at E3 we will see more indies and third party stuff, but Nintendo first party lineup looks already set for 2017
I'm speaking solely of my own personal experience. I feel the hype between me and my brother, and when I come to gaf.
But in my daily life, people have completely disregarded Nintendo at e3 with no live e3 conference. They are a laughing stock. I've even heard they did not know they were at e3. I'm like did you not go online here to see the direct? And they are clueless.
I feel, for at least this once, they gotta make a statement that they are back. Why be the odd one out?
And again why not both? Have a charming conference but live on stage? Or a bit of both. A direct before E3 to get smaller things out of the way, and still have a live press conference.
And as a viewer, when I see bombs being dropped, we will see the live reactions. Let's at least admit we miss that. I still go back and re-watch old e3 Nintendo conference moments and they are epic with the live reactions
I just feels there's a lot to gain and nothing to lose - if done right.

I really hope they knock it out of the park but I'll be going in with low expectations.
Considering that The Pokémon Company usually does reveals on their own terms & that January was a bit too close to Sun/Moon's November launch, it's not impossible to have Pokémon Stars come out this year on the Switch. And given Eurogamer's track record & them being an actual reputable gaming news site (GameCube VC & Mother 3 still pending, though Nintendo has been pretty mum about their VC plans so far), we don't have much of a reason to doubt them yet. That plus the data found in Sun/Moon pertaining to features like Pokémon walking alongside you that were likely cut from Sun/Moon due to the 3DS not being able to handle it.
There's also the likely port of Smash 4, especially due to the missing 3 Smash 4 Amiibos, which I don't think they'd sit on until 2018 seeing as they've been waiting in the wings for about a year now. Even now, they're starting to talk about the Corrin Amiibo's compatibility with FE Echoes, so something on the Smash front has to be happening sooner rather than later.
Why not both? Crowds will react, and so will gaf.
Gaf will likely even react to people live reacting lol
because digital events/directs are a better way of delivering information. the pacing is much better and they don't fall into the cringe worthy trappings that every presser does.
Directs are adorable, and different, but they can also be cringy. I loved the puppets (best thing about that e3), but others thought it was lame, from personal experience
How about maybe a direct and the world championships as well to mix it up? That was amazing that year.
I just think they should have some live conference presence, and it can do well for them.
I just want Nintendo to be successful
Sony actually included live E3 conference segments/audience reactions into their commercials, especially during the holiday season. Their "pro consumer/gamer" mentality on stage, helped spread positive word of mouth and gave them great holiday sales. They're still thought in this way by consumers.
I think you're underestimating the value that Nintendo continues to forfeit every year. Having a stage presence is better than having none. They're seen has an outsider with a white flag over their head. They haven't had a reason the last few years because they haven't had much to show. Nintendo only fans can't carry the system alone, as you can see with the Wii U.
The top selling console still performs on stage, when they have every reason not to. Nintendo bows out, and that is still looked at as a positive thing?
yep. Nintendo's E3 showing from 2014 is the GoaT for me largely because the Digital Event > presser and Treehouse Live > someone's first play impressions.
they can be cringey but in a different way and also a way that can easily be moved on from because of the superior pacing. with pressers the cringey parts are essentially baked into the format. the introduce person -> dubstep as they walk out -> cringey joke about being at E3 or forced crowd interaction or whatever. and that's just the tip of the iceberg. its just antiquated and at E3 there are too many in succession making them more grating as they go on. that's why Sony's E3 this past year was so well received, because they avoided a lot of the standard pitfalls of the E3 presser. that's what Directs do as well.
I do think the Nintendo World Championship should be annual. that's the kind of live event that is actually hype, where you're getting fan reactions. the mega man final smash was such a great moment.
This
And now they have Switch, and things to show. This year there's no excuse.
Completely agree with this.
I'll repeat, I feel they have nothing to lose and everything to gain with a live press conference done right.
Kingdom hearts 3 trailer?
Mirror Edge announcement?
The Last Guardian release date?
Shemume?
Every main Halo annocuement?
PS4 used games/price announcement?
Xbox backwards compatibility?
Final Fantasy 7 announcement?
You didn't find any of those interesting?
And they are freaking amazing
They are better because of it
I'll re-watch just for the the reaction again
Not to mention the times cheering only came from the staff of the company or was piped through the speakers...

Hope it's a nicely produced direct. No need to waste cash on a costly stage performance that doesn't pay off any better.

lol let's see how much 3DS they will show that's actually Nintendo. Can't wait for the Switch stuff.

Not because of crowd reaction. Never has any effect on me.
I'd reckon more people remember the reactions of people talking over the streams, like gametrailers/eza with ff7, shenmue, and the last guardian

Not that I disagree with you but I think there's room for all three this year.
Reading some of the comments here makes it sound like Nintendo directs have the best pacing ever compared to live conferences or something. Some of them are boring and dragged out as hell. I remember they once had a segment about Yoshi's wool yarn or something and talked about yarn...YARN.
here I think this was it

Yes amazing, exciting and riveting content. Please. No matter the choice, direct or live conferences, it's about the content and delivery. I'm a big fan of live conferences, they r just so much more exciting to me as a fan. You can do a great live conference with minimal boring fluff. Both Sony and MS have done so in the recent years. So I hope Nintendo do one and do it well this year. If they don't think live conferences are valuable they wouldn't have done one with switch (even if it was poorly done). Anyways hoping for a fun showing from the big three this year! New hardware is always exciting times.

There's no point in a Digital Event if there's a press conference or vice-versa...

Pikmin 3 came out years ago.
And anyways these days tons of people are uploading their own reaction videos, live presentation or no. You even get some from inside Nintendo world store.
