One of thing to consider, Nvidia has a rather large booth (5230) right next to Nintendo on the show floor. What is Nvidia announcing?

If it happens that's it, a trillion console sales and dozens of indie/multiplatform sales. At that point it would be dumb to buy a game that's also on PC.

They should just have Mario Odyssey like they did with Zelda last year and win the whole fucking thing lol

Save us from this madness Nintendo. Although I really have low expectation for Nintendo too...
If it didn't show on Sony's presser, then we won't see the game at all this E3, unless SE do it at their own presser.
I just don't see it because Nintendo is ALL about controlling their ecosystem, and this would blow it completely wide open. Sure it'd be great for gamers, but I just can't see Nintendo doing it. People would be playing all kinds of fucked up shit on the Switch and throwing it on the internet. Suddenly they have parents not wanting to buy their console because there's a video of some dude playing some fucked up game on it.
Zelda last year was the most talked game of E3 on social media i expect Mario Odyssey doing the same with the lacklustre other showings so far.
And last years e3 was pretty good actually and they managed to get away with showing a single game. The Spotlight just needs to be on point and show some cool games.

0%. Sony had timed exclusive deal so I don't think it ever show up in any conference outside Sony and SE

Everybody, keep those expectations in check. 2017 games only okay.
Of course they don't, they couldn't have control in the content, the ESRB alone would be a nightmare.
If you could run the Playstation Remote Play or Xbox Play Anywhere applications, you could potentially play every current console on Switch.
Just expecting good footage of Odyssey so i'm fine tbh and some splatoon 2 singleplayer.

Mario Odyssey is confirmed to show up tomorrow and considering past trends, Xenoblade 2 will make an appearance as well. Those two games alone are more compelling than anything they showed in 2012 and we already know about them. I'm not expecting them to drop megatons left and right but going off the Switch's 2017 lineup alone, the Spotlight should be solid.
So I'll be looking for/at:
-Metroid
-Mario. I'm completely sold on it and don't really want too much gameplay from it. Perhaps I'll leave the conference more clear on how I feel about exploration/adventure Mario returning.
-XB2. The game did not impress me in January. The landscapes and music I trust to be beautiful. I didn't like the character art or the limited dialogue we got. So if I walk away with a better impression of the characters and story from E3, that's positive movement.
I'd also like to see evolution of the combat system. I think it falls short as an action system and as a party-based system. It is good for mmo-lite, and I mean that seriously. The characters/roles are more distinct and defined and different to play than in most such games. But I really think unless you turn such a system into rts-like micromanagement or automation, it is never going to live up to such a game with other players or the extent of team control in a classic JRPG. And then, you can't build on that towards better party play, starting from behind.
I'd like to see XB push into action, turn-based, or a heavier tactical real-time system, personally. I doubt it will, but I'll be curious what they do do to the battle system.
-Japanese third party games: I'd like to see JRPGs, VN/adventure games, and action games announced and/or shown for Switch targeting 2018.
-2018 first party games. What is Retro working on? How does FE look?
-VC plans. Date, GCN, general look at how well it'll be supported.

Considering I think Nintendo already "blew its load" regarding surprise announcements, thanks Pokemon Direct with Pokken DX, to Ubisoft heavily featuring Mario + Rabbids, and Bethesda's trailer for Skyrim and amiibo support, now's never been a better time to actually unviel whatever has been cooking at Retro or any other new IP they're planning on Switch.
In fact, I really have no expectations at all with this Direct, but there has to be at least one or two surprise announcements somewhere.

Evil Within is my GOE3 so far lets see if they can match it
Yeah, with 25 minutes, I suppose we can all take comfort in the fact it can't be terrible.

I'll tell you right now the spotlight is only 25 mins. They wont be talking about any services at all.

I...I said the same thing about Sony's presser.
The difference is Nintendo doesn't make a habit of stuffing an entire conference of announcements of games that are years down the line (Sony last year). Nintendo has a blank slate past this Fall.

I don't think we're gonna get anything shocking tomorrow.
Nintendo is probably just gonna show more of what we know is coming. Hopefully nothing gets pushed back to 2018.

Y'all need to stop acting like that ish ain't a quality fighting game. That shit is legit.

This. I'd like to at least see what's up with Fire Emblem and one other game slated for 2018.

I only need to see Mario Odyssey then I'm good. Maybe Bayonetta 1, 2 port... I never own WiiU ;_;
Man I really hope Nintendo announces the new and improved virtual console. I'm eager to start collecting some of my old favorites on the Switch. I know it sounds vague, but I never bought many VC games on the 3DS or Wii U because I didn't really like playing on those devices. But man, the Switch is a joy to use.
I could really go for some Link's Awakening and Advance Wars 2 right now.

Nope, no.
Their big guns were in january this is marketing for their summer/holiday lineup (with a potential surprise or two), wich admitedly isn't so bad.
Expect lots of Mario and Xenoblade footage however
Didn't Xeno 2 get pushed already?
I'm expecting Arms, Splatoon 2, FE Warriors, BOTW dlc, Ubi collab, and MarioO. I'm not expecting megatons.
Metroid pls

I think Nintendo's E3 will be decent due to Mario, but there won't be any big surprises. $5 they talk about ARMS for a few minutes despite it coming out this week.

I'm scared that Reggie mentioned 3DS is gonna be involved. Enough already :/
They said 2017 only?
So we'll probably get like one new game announcement and then trailers & gameplay for already announced games. Damn this is a trash E3.

Not expecting them in the spotlight (treehouse hopefully), but I'm hoping to hear release dates for indie ports like Towerfall, Stardew Valley, Owlboy, Duckgame, and Terraria.
I'm not really excited for Arms, Splatoon, or Pokken, so I'm hoping the 2nd 1/2 of the year is at least fairly indie heavy if we're not getting anymore non-indie games.
I don't read Japanese, but the Japanese stream description doesn't say anything about 3DS.

And they had games at 4 press confs., MS, EA, Bethesda and Ubisoft
Lol you're in the wrong thread, buddy. Evil Within 2 was a cinematic trailer, whoop dee doo, Microsoft showed a bunch of games that you don't need their new console for, and Ubisoft was decent, but nothing special. Beyond Good and Evil was cool until they revealed they need players to help complete their game haha.

They haven't topped anything in years.
Their non E3 Directs are fun though

FF6 remake pls.
Low expectations.
More info for Mario Odyssey
Some new footage/stages/weapons in Splatoon2
A peek at the story DLC in Zelda BOTW
Xenoblade 2 footage (though perhaps announcing a delay to go with it)
Indies sizzle reel
Maybe a 3rd party sizzle reel (if there is enough to show)
and maybe one mid range surprise on the level of Captain Toad or a Kirby.
I think anything more will be 2018 range titles.
But even if that it I might win this disappointing E3.
Now I'm sad.
