I thought you ment a humorous sketch kinda thing, my bad. I dont feel that the Iwata VS Reggie fight is self-idolization though. I see it has humor, and that they dont take themself that serious.

When the event started, we laughed out loud at the Robot Chicken opening if only for the audacity. When the Reggie X Iwata fight kicked in, I said in the room to everyone watching "it isn't just Luigi, Nintendo is officially out of fucks to give."
Everything Nintendo has done at E3 has acted to shove pretense into a trash can and fire it into the sun. I suppose I'm just tired of arena shows where awkward men stumble out acting as if they only heard of video games yesterday, while trying to talk to a marketing demographic. With nervous eyes and forced laughs.

Third parties are never coming back unless it's exclusives or collaborations. Would you rather they spent money on a TV show and spent time during their event talking about that?
We're not talking about the extent, rather the principle. You talked about self-idolisation, third party relationships, etc. You mock Nintendo for being silly and yet you try to defend Yoshida.
You can't expect executives to just be executives, especially when they're communicating to potential customers.
You sound lovely.

Wow. This thread smh. Truly disappointed in Orioto. Love his art but way to kill any type of liking otherwise. A lot of these other post are quite senile. So a press conference conference is a must? Suits and ties must be worn? Fact sheets must be read? No laughing on stage? Crowds must cheer for you live for it to actually be worth something? Please. At this point I'd rather watch these directs and interact with my friends who come over to watch them with me and GAF rather than watch some "games journalist" packed crowd pretend they actually care about Nintendo. When press conferences have become so hollow that they have to hire fake crowds then its over. The effect is lost. Awkward pauses and claps for YouTube don't help either. Having your whole show lineup leak and you change nothing doesn't help, especially when the majority of the people in the rooms job is to know about the leaks. Showing barren prototypes and basic concepts does not excite anyone for more than 10min. let alone a full event. Having scripted voice chat between players to show a mp game off is forced as well. Nintendo broke that mold last year and showed why its effective this year. They had fun, showed off 1st party, had developer interviews that were insightful and not hyperbole filled with dramatic music playing, they showed off third parties (either in the direct, during treehouse [still ongoing], or on the floor), and kept talking directly to their fan base the whole afternoon. And that was just their first day going live at E3. If it doesn't fit your taste fine but do the alternatives shown this E3 really fit the description of what you want? Because if so I don't want it personally.

The whole first 10 minutes, I'd thought I'd been transported back to the mid-90s and that Nintendo was about to sell me some crazy "NOW YOUR PLAYING WITH POWER!" line along with a super hard MARIO game.
The Robot Chicken-esque sketches made me laugh, too. "WHERE'S STAR FOX!?"
Just like Reggie said in the NDE, you can't be afraid to have a little fun.

if you liked the video, awesome, it clearly worked for a lot of people, but I really don't get how so many people in here can't get that some people are going to see the video and cringe a little. when you go with a video like that there's going to be a group that has that reaction, it doesn't mean that they're wrong or that they hate everyone or they're miserable to be around or whatever else everyone is saying. it wasn't a great post or anything, but everyone piling in on the dude to defend a video that was clearly made to be crazy and funny seems weird to me. comedy's subjective. not everyone's going to like that video. that's okay.

Is there a video compilation of all Robot Chicken scenes? Those were hilarious.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Guys I swear, it feels like you enjoy shaking the bait.
WW Link was amazing in it lol.
I swear I've seen it posted. Was it in SmashGAF?? Crap, can't remember sorry, but there is a gif floating around.
Iwata is Luffy. Gomu Gomu Gatling Gun!

I really enjoyed Nintendo's E3 video. The skits and developer talks were miles better than watching some dude play through a heavily scripted stage demo, or listening to some exec go on and on about TV. It was playful and self aware, and just the exact opposite of all of the bombastic masturbatory nonsense that made me cringe during other conferences this year and in previous years.

Well executed, funny and silly in a good way. I can't believe some of the negative comments in this thread. However I've noticed there's usual some negative backlash after positive reception of anything Nintendo does.
Nintendo should be applauded for the PR direction they took recently. Their recent directs, the digital event, SSB event, Treehouse, funny shorts are well made, contain good presentations of their games and provide plenty of 'gamer' info's.

Not allowed to travel for "health reasons." Damn Reggie.
But Iwata won (through plastic intervention).
Sorry for the correction. But seems immersion is more important than fun. (I'm only joking, seriously joking)
It was incredible and SO very well done, the kicks and punches feel really powerful and believable, damn. What I would do to see a behind the scenes of this. Best moment of E3 without a doubt. Nintendo had the best/most hilarious E3 presentation. Plus, all the Nintendo Treehouse stream has been excellent.

They could have ended it after that fight and I would have been happy.

Pretty much it's all about facial animation, close up of faces and looking down at the floor environment textures for dat immersion, which is far more impressive than many enemies on screen in a big action scene with no framedrops.
That's a fair question, and in my mind, masturbatory is that bald headed Watch Dogs (I think it was watch dogs anyway) guy or Drive Club guy going on and on in lurid detail about his obsession with accurately modeled carbon fiber weaving - overly self-serious nonsense.
I'm still really confused as how this immersion talk sprung up. We're talking about a intro to new character in Smash.
No one complained when you did it:
Lol " Thanks Sony" .
I just had to look after this and you're right. I doubt he'll last long here with a first post snide remark to win a few internet points then not coming back when he gets called out on it. :lol
This was a pretty cool intro, though. I missed the first 5 minutes so I didn't really get a chance to see this initially.
I am glad to see both Nintendo and Sony take a positive point of view and utilizing their internet fame for good stuff like this. They are catering to the Neogaf audience 100%. Who would imagine any top executives doing shit like this?
Also, Iwata looked like pretty drained/tired during the video. I hope he is fine health wise. Maybe its the lighting.
