Nintendo not hosting big E3 conference

[RedCoreZero]

"SHIT FUCK SHIT!",said RedZero.E3 was the only time where gaming and entertainment hype built up in one big package."So it's not worth the wait?"He started."So e3 is being reduced to nothing but divided mini announcements?".Soon, all hope for a good presentation was lost."What holds in store for e3 and it's future with companies going their own ways with their announcements?"RedZero hopefully asked."Where's the demos and goodies going to be now?Will we have to individually look at different streams online?Where then are the viewers?".Hope was then restored.

Nintendo of Japan is getting directs during E3. They said they're going to figure something out for NOA fans, so I imagine that another direct will be happening as well.

Nintendo Directs will never get this level of hype.

 

[FireGrey]

Well I believe that they are announcing Mario Kart U and Super Smash Bros U at E3, maybe even Zelda U.
These small conferences could quite possibly be the best of E3 just by those 3 games.

You forgot about the Big Snake reveal for SSBB... which wasn't at the big conference.

Oh you mean back when E3 was still somewhat decent?

Also the last one is like the most lack luster applause I have heard.

EvilMakiPR is really striking me as a "This is how it was... so this is how it has to be..." kinda guy.

 

[B-Blue]

Aww man
I'm gonna miss Reggie talking about sales for 45 minutes

 

[Eerpow]

Actually if they cut the slack it can only mean that this presentation will surpass their last ones. They still will have more than enough time to show their games. Just announcement trailers and no boring on stage demos or anything like that.

The only reason why they wouldn't attend E3 is them not having anything E3-worthy to show, which is a reason for distress, not joy. I'm not getting the OP's optimism at all, it's unwarranted. I won't judge the book by its cover and I will wait for Nintendo's events, but one has to understand that E3 remains one of the biggest expos of its kind, it's an event followed by millions of gamers across the globe and simply not attending it is bad press in itself.

Eerpow clarified the things, the OP as well as the thread's title are greatly misleading, they probably should be re-worked if they're to be on the Front Page. Pardonnez-moi.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Wow, that's a good idea.

But they are attending E3 and will be showing new titles. The title in the source is greatly exaggerated.

At E3 this year, we are not planning to launch new hardware, and our main activity at E3 will be to announce and have people experience our software. Many people are certainly very interested in learning more about the Wii U titles that we are going to announce. We will use E3 as an ideal opportunity to talk in detail mainly about the Wii U titles that we are going to launch this year, and we also plan to make it possible for visitors to try the games immediately. As a brand new challenge, we are working to establish a new presentation style for E3.

They're only switching things up a bit, hopefully getting to the meat and potatoes right away, instead of dragging it out with some financial talk and on stage gameplay.


Iwata has also said in these interviews that there are unannounced 3DS games too.

 

[KingVamp]

So, we are just ignoring that the other companies are showing stuff before e3 as well? Plus, they are attending.

You're crazy if you think they wouldn't have anything to show.

In that case, the thread's name should be changed and the first post re-worked as they're greatly misleading. I was posting on Mobile so I couldn't really read the source links comfortably, I relied on the info provided in the OP.

Freaking d'uh they won't be showing any new hardware - both the 3DS XL and the WiiU were recently launched, we already know there's no new hardware to be launched at this point - a software showcase was to be expected.

Thank you for the clarification.

Uh.. why should it be changed? They're not hosting a big E3 conference... and that somehow implies that Nintendo won't be going to e3? Hell, even the quote says:

..."Instead, at the E3 show this year, we are planning to host a few smaller events"

There's literally nothing misleading about it...

 

[Eerpow]

He probably missed the "Big" part, the title in the source on the other hand is wrong.

I just glanced over it, so it's mostly my fault but I'd word it differently. Instead of saying they're "not hosting a big E3 conference" I'd focus on them "not announcing any hardware" or "focusing on software" since the first impression when you see "not hosting a (big) E3 conference" is "they're not hosting a conference"... but hey, that's just me being a doofus.

You mean I am not likely to get the Wii U version of the heart rate monitor..... I am not sure I can take e3 without that level of hilarity to counteract the boredom.

Also [a few hours before this thread was posted]

"Because E3 is an event teetering on the brink of irrelevance"

Say what you will about E3, a lot of stuff still gets shown there and is still considered quite big.
