Woah, I just watched the video for the first time (didn't bother to watch it before as I rarely watch videos right away if there's text available), and it's actually pretty awesome!
And yeah.. that Zelda music..
While I'm still inclined to think that a traditional press conference might be better for Nintendo overall, personally I'm really excited about this. Their last year kind of sucked to be honest in terms of execution. It sounds like they're actually putting some more effort to it this year and it could be really good.

This too, good point.I can understand that people miss the "epic" feel a big press conference has. It's undeniable that last year's Nintendo Direct felt pretty barebones in its presentation compared to the huge press offerings other companies have had. However, I don't think that this means that recorded streams necessarily have to be bad -- but it does mean that the super low-budget approach of the Nintendo Directs is the wrong way to handle an E3 conference. When everyone else shoots for the stars, you pale in comparions when you just put one guy in front a white background.
However, with this year's event not being called a "Direct", I'm hopeful that Nintendo realized this too. It might not actually be the case, but by calling it "Nintendo Digital Event" instead they seem to differentiate the event from the usual Directs -- and if the announcement video is any indication for the amount of effort they're putting into the Digital Event, then I'm sure that it'll be an awesome and entertaining ride.
