Although Nintendo has not held a traditional press conference at E3 since 2012, for the last 3 years they have at least had a pre-filmed Nintendo Direct showing.

Unfortunately, even that is not the case this year and they have recently announced that their only showing for E3 2016 will be in the form of a live-streamed Nintendo Treehouse event devoted entirely to the new The Legend of Zelda game for both Wii U and the forthcoming NX.

The game will also be playable in some form at E3 so we can expect the game to be quite far along.

The currently titled The Legend of Zelda for both Wii U and NX is due to release sometime in 2017.

Let me get my shovel. Nintendo might need help with that hole they are digging.

(Grabs violin, and starts playing sad music on it.)

If you're in to rpgs and JPOP Tokyo Mirage Session #FE might be a good game for you.

Well I'm not really into JRPGs (Hint: Please take a look at my signature)...but thx anyways for the suggestion.

Plus the 5.5.1 Keksploit has been leaked.

Eventually Ninty will kill the exploit with a system update, and I don't feel like playing the game of "Should I stay to keep homebrews or update to play new games that require update?" anymore.

You're not, I always leave their streams when Treehouse starts. I dunno, I just don't like when ten people talk for hours about a game I probably won't ever play.

I'm totally sure that was the plan xD

Wtf Nintendo? Ugh
I guess I'll just be hoping for Sony to announce a new inFAMOUS. Nintendo, you hurt me.

That phrase, with your avatar, made me laugh HARD

What New Games? LOL
Paper Mario and TMSxFE 2016
Zelda 2017
Thats it.

Nintendo is showing their hand, they have no games in development for wii u.
Nintendo is waiting to show the nx as late as possible to create hype and have people go out and purchase the system on release.
The less time given for the scrutiny they WILL get for specs, controller, or 3rd support of the system, the better.
They also want 1st party launch games to be as polished as possible before showing them off.

Nintendo clearly is done with the Wii u and the 3ds is probably going to be supported mainly by 3rd parties for this year.

All companies make bad decisions. Such as Apple. They didn't discontinue iPhone's after Steve Jobs died, hence their low-end terrible devices now.

ANYWAY, enough people are hyped for Zelda U and NX so it's not like people are going to ditch Nintendo.

If iPhone is such an low-end device, why does it scores great in benchmarks?

 

[MrDavidPerson]

Guess Nintendo thinks if Link can save Zelda then maybe he can save Nintendo to.

 

[BurningDesire]

You can't fit a train in a treehouse.

 

[Tigran]

Guess people keep forgetting that Nintendo isn't the only big company that's basically saying "Eff E3." this year.

 

[DiscostewSM]

From what was listed, they seem to only have plans set for the first day out of the 3 they mention, that first day being Zelda-oriented. So, anything could happen. And honestly, Directs aren't an E3-exclusive. There's nothing stopping then from having one a week before/after the event if they so choose.

 

[CeeDee]

Nintendo hasn't ruled out a Direct presentation at e3, just so far only treehouse is announced. We shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Well, we need clickbait for more people to go "NINTENDO IS DOOOOOOOOMED!"

I don't like Treehouse...

 

[Deleted User]

At least we'll get more mobile Nintendo games this year, y-yay?

 

[daniel26150]

Am I the only one who doesn't like Treehouse?

I also hate them for putting memes on the games and removing audio

 

[MarioFanatic64]

So Nintendo's just letting us know in advance that their biggest day of the year is gonna suck.

If iPhone is such an low-end device, why does it scores great in benchmarks?

It's more optimized due to standardized hardware, and it doesn't score that well - it's adequate at best, and considering the price tag of the device you'll get better performance to dollar ratio on Android. Case and point, the Galaxy S7 blows the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus right out of the water (6,466 vs 4,404 vs 4,407) in GeekBench 3 Multi-core and costs roughly the same amount of money.

iPhones shine when they use brand-spanking-new technology in their custom chips, but that's not the case every iteration. I wouldn't call them low-end devices, but the performance to price point ratio isn't exactly satisfactory on Apple devices, not to mention the many other shortcomings they suffer from.
