Okay, guys.

E3 isn't what you think it is anymore, at least not for Nintendo. This isn't to say it's for casuals or hardcores or time travelers or whatever. It's a show, in the middle of the year, in an industry that no longer needs to depend on shows in the middle of the year. Ubisoft did the best this year because they happened to have a new IP ready, the timing was right after the AC3 reveal, the the Wii U NDAs let them reveal that game here this year. Not because E3 is Christmas.

Sony is pretty much the only one who still treats E3 like the event you guys want it to be and they are hilariously incompetent at it.

Look at all the games and publishers who pulled out this year. Their was more worth to spending time working on the games than taking a week out of your schedule and however many weeks before to getting a playable version of your game set up for E3. Even Capcom couldn't be bothered to really have a presence for their 2013 titles this year.

E3 is about the next six months. It is about the year it is in. In a world with high-speed connections and a site exclusively dedicated to show trailers of video games, E3 pressers are ways to build up hype for the games you can sell this year.

Santa Claus isn't real. And moreover, you no longer get presents on Christmas day. It sucks, but this is reality now.

... Well, you do live up to your name. That was shocking.
It actually makes perfect sense. The internet has changed the stream of news.

Why does Nintendo have multiple shows to make announcements when they only do their announcements individually AFTER the shows?

I just...don't understand.

To be honest I've never seen E3 as that big of a deal after so many years of disappointment. People set themselves up for this.

Ubisoft always "wins" E3 because they are good at timing their releases and conferences. Everyone else..it's just a big news segment for them, just a bunch of announcements at once.

I don't agree with this part, it sounds like you are extrapolating this year's result backwards through time or something. The planets aligned this year though, I admit.

So.....if Nintendo had put a video showcase of games that included Fire Emblem it would have made their E3 much better XD, seeing how quick this post became 6 pages XD.

The amount of hype surrounding this game is gigantic, and I'm pretty sure we've been waiting on an announcement like this for half a year.

I hope Nintendo reps see the enthusiastic rapport FE fans are putting out towards this.

Last year was pretty stellar for them, after Microsoft shit the bed and Nintendo wrapped it up with the 3DS stuff.

I've always said that companies like Ubisoft and Rockstar make the best appearances because they know when and what to announce and exactly how to do it. They know what people are looking for and they don't overburden their announcements.

i dont know why people arent realizing this. and its not to say that e3 will never be good again, its just that this year doesnt have any surprise games. nintendo did announce some new IPs and we didnt know about (nintendoland, scribblenauts, p-100) but unfortunately GAF doesnt care about them so its the worst e3 to ever happen to them.

I'm fine with that, but Nintendo said barely ANYTHING for a year, so you can't be surprised people were expecting more than just the next 6 months.

If this is the case, and this is the approach many companies are doing, is that why Type-0 is a no show? Someone on GAF claimed a voice actress finished her role for the game..

It's true but it stings. It was so exciting to prepare for E3 and watch the megatons at the press conferences. Having them spread out throughout the year makes it less impactful. :( Hopefully Nintendo Directs start to be even more meaningful with the addition of Wii U news.

Well I can see more companies starting to pull out then, unless they have a new IP(s) or console to show, because if not it really seems to have a negative effect on a company.

I expected more from Nintendo considering they have a home console to release this year and a good conference would create a lot of positive buzz. It sure helped them in 06 with the Wii.

That's too bad.

They could probably release it as a PSP title on PSN for Vitas (which might not be a good idea in itself re: sales). But either way, I don't see a good choice they could make here.

I've been gloriously out of the GAF loop for the past few days. I spent most of E3 on Twitter.

I know the hype trains were massive this year, but I still don't see how anyone can walk away without coming to the conclusion that E3 is all spectacle and short-term ads.

The press made up their mind about WiiU the moment is was announced, and nothing was going to change that. The content they show doesn't matter in the slightest - it gets posted all the same. This is a media grab-bag. That's it.
