Treeshouse and tournie, that's why they put it out today and even said as much in the Direct.
Dat 2017 Focus
Definitely focusing on 2017 games.
Why so little to show? Why haven't they invested in a high number of titles for their brand new goddamn console that needs support? What the hell is going on at Nintendo?
I don't think that is guaranteed by any means. I still expect to see 1-2 H1 2018 games. Nintendo can run through a lot of information quickly if they want.
FWIW, I don't see how this solidifies the presentation as definitively 30 mins. It says the show starts "about 9:30," which gives I think a potential 10 mins of wiggle room, but I could just be kidding myself.
Again, I think you all need to dial down your expectations. I absolutely foresee all three of those titles receiving air time during the Spotlight. Splatoon 2, in particular.
People think they won't show ARMS (which releases a few days after E3) in their spotlight direct which is where they'll get the most views? C'mon, guys...
You guys realize the Nintendo spotlight isn't the only time during E3 where new games are announced, right?
Part of me's going to feel sad if Xenoblade 2 doesn't show up in that case

So Pokken, Mario Oddysey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Splatoon 2, Arms, Pokemon Ultra, the Kirby 3DS anniversary game, Skyrim, Sonic, Mario and Rabbids, Xenoblade 2 and maybe some indies.
How long was the 2014 one, which was probably the best pre-recorded E3 show Nintendo has ever done.
No. They forget every single year.
Then they act surprised when 4 or 5 new games get announced in the Treehouse stream.

Definitely true but the biggest stuff is announced during the Direct itself. The Treehouse/IGN/other outlets can vary in scope. Sometimes its Ever Oasis, sometimes its Wonderful 101, sometimes its Wii Fit Trainer in Smash and other times its Devil's Third. Hell sometimes they announce a game like the original Xenoblade and leave it out of the conference entirely only to put it in the press kit. Nintendo isn't very consistent with these things.No. They forget every single year.

Yes, this is the main E3 presentation. It's unclear what exactly the format will be. In past years it hasn't been called by this same title. It will focus on Switch 2017 games, especially Mario Odyssey. It may also show future unannounced games (including leaked games like Mario + Rabbids), and based on past years I would expect at least a couple new game announcements total, for the period from June 2017 to possibly early 2018. We could even get a teaser of mid to late 2018 games. Also, Nintendo likes to do "available now" for new titles so the Spotlight or Treehouse could include announcements like that.
I still think we're getting a Smash trailer.
And that's all I kinda want to see. I wonder if they get another third party character like Bomberman to end it just like they had Megaman and Snake before.
The game is still officially slated for 2017. Unless they announce otherwise, we should assume this to be the case still.
I'm expecting hard release dates for announced titles basically, which is good.
Thanks a lot - much appreciated . Sounds like I'm going to have to plan on watching the Treehouse too then.
So Pokken, Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Warriors, Splatoon 2, Arms, Pokemon Ultra, the Kirby 3DS anniversary game, Skyrim, Sonic, Mario and Rabbids, Xenoblade 2 and maybe some indies.
That's shorter than their typical 40 minute Digital Events. Prepare to be disappointed.
5 minutes on ARMS
5 minutes on Splatoon
5 minutes on Pokken
5 minutes on FE
5 minutes on Mario
5 minutes for fireworks
The end.

I would be shocked if anything substantial is announced for the Switch after the spotlight. The hype is gone, it's time to face reality.
When have they ever announced something that wasn't budget game during Treehouse ?
Around 40 minutes. Granted, it was also littered with several "Developer Stories" where developers ramble on about their games for several minutes.
Just to calibrate your expectations, we may not get hard release dates for all titles. In recent years for example Nintendo has announced titles at E3 which release the same year (Mario 3D World, for example), with no date attached at the time of the announcement. Similar to ARMS being announced in January with no date.
so we already know what E3 will be, then.
Splatoon 2
Pokken DX
Monster Hunter XX
Mario x Rabbids
Fire Emblem Warriors
Xenoblade 2
Super Mario Odyssey
and then probably some sort of teasers for whats coming in the first half of 2017...Super Smash Bros. DX?
I think you people are crazy that don't think Nintendo is going to tease a big future game at the biggest gaming show of the year.
Is this why they aren't having a live presentation? Because they have nothing to show?
