That's what she said.
But seriously, 30 minutes is a lot of time for a curated, prerecorded presentation. It'll be fine guys. Take a deep breath.

A 30min Video presentation for your new system first E3 is kinda bad.

It's a new ARPG from a team comprised of people who worked on the Mana series (including Koichi Ishii, the series' creator). The dev's pedigree is enough to interest those that enjoy RPGs.
Production not costing 50 million dollars doesn't make the game a 'budget release'.

What's worse is that I would actually be okay with this.
Why even include Arms we know enough about that game.... If it's anything more then 2 minutes.....
It seems not much besides marketing changed at all at Nintendo.
Edit: it even releases in the same week lol.

N's E3 2015 seemed to drag forever with Mario maker
5 min Mario Odyssey
5 min for Splatoon 2 and ARMS trailer (They're going to do it, don't fool yourself)
3-5 min on Mario x Rabbids
5 mins on Indies (As a refresher from last indie direct)
5 mins on 3rd Party (That we already know of)
2-5 mins on Fire Emblem Warriors.
This is it.
Prove me wrong Nintendo.

Well we did just have the worst (and there have been alot of bad directs) Nintendo Direct ever.
So you know the contents? 30 minutes is a long time without excessive talking and live demoing. 30 minutes could easily be 15 1.5 minute trailers for alot of games, including indie reel.
Have people not watched the Direct in the new style? That was lighting fast, concise and showed alot. Why should this be any different?
Yeah Sony's show will probably be the best this year unless ofcourse beside the Scorpio announcement are new first party games @ xbox.

xenoblade 2 will be there 100% they reconfirmed 2017 multiple times
ARMS dlc character preview
10 minutes of splatoon 2
Xenoblade 2 delayed to winter 2018
Xenoblade X port in 2017 instead

I guess, to be fair, this is the company that announced the product that could make or break the entire company with a 3 minute video with that same product launching 5 months later...
Maybe they don't believe in early announcements anymore for whatever reason?

That wasn't the worst.
Not even close.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Do you remember their E3 2015 Direct?
Yeah, Nintendo isn't going to cram 3 fighting games within 6 months of each others. Smash will be next Spring along with Animal Crossing , and those 2 will continue to help drive Switch sales after the holidays.
i think this is the best way to approach the nintendo set each year, just list what you expect then take a huge shit on it

"for a look at Nintendo Switch games"
Yeah, and? "A look" doesn't sound like the whole thing will be dedicated to Switch. I'm definitely expecting talk about 3DS games, especially being close to releasing the 2DS XL.
They've also done stuff like that before where they say a direct will show Switch games and then they do also show a lot of 3DS stuff.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
E3 culture is so stupid. Showing off fun-looking games that were already announced is considered bad. "Winning" E3 is about having the biggest surprises, nothing more.

Did we watch the same direct? We're getting 18 year old roms on the 3DS in September!!! Nintendo could do nothing else for the rest of the year and I wouldn't mind.

Don't forget Zelda DLC
With Wii U, Nintendo spotlighted games far in the future to keep investors happy and encourage consumers to buy the system by showing that content was coming. The Switch is a success, so they can focus on games coming out in the near future, which is clearly their preference.
That said, I'd be surprised if we didn't get a couple of 2018 announcements.
The sad thing is a lot of Nintendo fans actually think like this.
The Wii U has been dead for a while and we got a couple of nice new games to look forward to on Switch but I keep waiting for this flood of awesome titles to be announced. Seems less and less likely with every new bit of info. I hope I'm wrong but Nintendo has beaten me into a pessimist.

I don't think it seems that short,considering tree house will be going on like all day following the spotlight.

Nintendo's gonna Nintendo.
Has there been a Nintendo Direct recently? The only Direct I'm aware of was the Pokémon Direct today from TPC/Game Freak, where they announced a couple of old games in new paint?
BTW, my uncle at Nintendo said that the Nintendo Spotlight at E3 will only focus on ARMS and MK 8 Deluxe.
Some of you have really given up the ghost with this hyperventilating shit.

30min is plenty of time especially unlike other conferences Nintendo doesnt do stage demos to help push it towards the hour long mark they have the treehouse live for all of that.
guess they can cut the rabbids trailer down to 2 minutes since its being shown twice to announce either retro or some deep 2018 game

I expect something like that quick pace headlines Direct they had for ARMS, Splatoon, etc...
I doubt they show any Indie/3rd party stuff

Retros project or something about Fire Emblem?
Man that just leaves even less room for surprises.
Well its a step from last with only Zelda (it payed off, but still)
