Finally, the video game tradeshow E3 will be held in
Los Angeles this June. Again this year, we will not
be hosting a large-scale press conference for
institutional investors, analysts and the media.
Nintendo of America will present further information
on our plans at a later date.

[ricelord]

sound about right.

 

[AmyS]

Thank You.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

This is fine. Just roll on with the Direct and Treehouse

 

[Shaanyboi]

And no one was shocked.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

This is totally fine. I love the Direct format and it is entirely preferential to me.

 

[kuroneko0509]

splatoon tourney + digital event + treehouse live I guess?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Yep I knew it a Digital Event. All they have to do is follow the formula of this last Nintendo Direct. Great pacing with content.

Here's the pdf source: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2017/170428_2e.pdf

 

[DecoReturns]

Personally prefer their Directs.

So I'm happy

 

[FireBeaver]

Much to the shock of about 3 people.

 

[Nanashrew]

Expected.

I imagine not many will have qualms after all the complaining about the live Switch reveal.

 

[Wanderer5]

Guess not surprising, but the direct and treehouse approach is fine.

 

[Starfish Hero]

So long as the direct is good it doesn't matter if it's live or not

 

[perfectchaos007]

I guess we will never see another live press conference again at E3 from Nintendo. Too bad

 

[brandonh83]

QUICK let's overreact and make proclamations like we did last year and that amounted to nothing!

 

[CockHammer]

pls b excitedu

 

[Cindro]

Woop woop! Nintendo Direct stays winning. It's such a clearly superior format, especially when you consider how rough that live Switch reveal was.

Cannot wait. Hype thrusters, engage!

 

[The Last One]

Expected still disappointing.

 

[kennyamr]

oh well.

I mean it's a bummer but I understand.

They do better with pre recorded stuff.

Their live shows record is not great.

 

[KZXcellent]

All I want is a steady stream of game announcements. The Nintendo Digital Event will deliver that just fine.

 

[NSESN]

It is for the best

 

[Fantastical]

At this point I'm fine it with it. Just bring the megatons plz

 

[Marvie_3]

Good. The Direct format is so much better.

 

[Cerium]

More Koizumi, directly to us

 

[Regiruler]

I hope there's an actual digital event unlike last year.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Honestly I enjoy their Directs way more than the live shows. They absolutely killed it in 2014.

 

[Common Knowledge]

If the non-stop game after game flow they had in the last Direct becomes the norm, then I'm more than happy.

 

[KingBroly]

I hope there's an actual digital event unlike last year.

I doubt they have "The One Game to Rule them All" like they did last year

 

[Lingitiz]

Good, Nintendo has rarely produced a live stage show that wasn't awkward as fuck. This is primarily a Japanese company. They can actually have developers talk without translator delays with prerecorded shows.

 

[joedick]

I much prefer the E3 directs to having nervous middle aged men babbling on a stage.

 

[sinonobu]

I really dug the recent Direct so I'm happy.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

I guess we will never see another live press conference again at E3 from Nintendo. Too bad

It really is a shame. Now this will never be topped.

 

[B33]

We know.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

I guess I'm one of the select few that misses the spectacle of the live presentation, sales talk included.

At least last year's Chicken-Robot style presentation was cool, looking forward to more of their creative stuff.

 

[Sojiro]

Good, I like the E3 directs, and especially the Treehouse events.

 

[_Nemo]

 

[KZXcellent]

So long as they don't do anything like last year ever again I'm cool with anything really. Hated last year.

 

[Piichan]

Cool. Hope they still do Treehouse stuff though.

 

[brandonh83]

If they announce Metroid it ain't gonna matter, pants will be shit.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Nintendo are done with live E3 press conferences for good. They will continue to march to the beat of their own drum for better or worse. Personally I really enjoy the extended E3 Direct and following tree-house events because we get to see what's important - gameplay.

 

[_Clash_]

The directs are good

Happy to have that back

 

[Oblivion]

Shame, but at this point not surprising, I guess.

 

[Nintenleo]

They could announce the new Metroid even with a 4 seconds clip from the toilette of Bill Trinen, I don't care. Just give it to me.

 

[WillyFive]

I don't think this means they will be doing a Direct like during the Iwata years. It probably means it will be like last year.

I was hoping they would do a conference just like the Switch reveal; that was great.

 

[TreIII]

Fine by me. Roll all that beautiful game footage and then give me Treehouse goodness afterward.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Expected still disappointing.

Nintendo feels so small these days compared to the other presentations, expected but it's a downer.

 

[rhandino]

Good, I prefer their charming Digital Events over most live conferences.

 

[Tookay]

Expected.

I imagine not many will have qualms after all the complaining about the live Switch reveal.

This.
