Oh ok lol. Im hoping no one is saying services for something that is so short.Wasn't meant as expectations. It's what would do something for me as I see it atm. Some of those things are even less likely than others.
Anyways lets talk about PLATINUMGAMES since they will never lose their Luster!
IGN First this month is about PlatinumGames right? They said they will discuss more later this month after the interview they posted last week.
They still aint show up yet 👀
This is likely.
Doubtful. I expect this to be quite similar to Sony's presentation plus an indie reel. Mostly games we already knew about, maybe a surprise sprinkled in.

Well they did end up leaking everything beforehand.

Still keeping expectations in check. After the rest of E3 expecting more disappointment. Just hoping we get some new SW announced.
As much as I'd love it there's no way that's happening.

I've got really low expectations for this one. Nintendo says they're sticking to 2017 games, so they'll do just that
- Splatoon 2 single player demonstration
- Super Mario Odyssey trailer (50% gameplay, A few new worlds shown, Hat power-ups)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 trailer (with 2018 delay announced for the west)
- Zelda DLC
- Nindie montage
- Talk about online on the Switch
- Talk about NES Virtual console on the Switch
- Show Mario + Rabbids
- Show Pokken Tournament
- Announce Mario Maker Switch
- Splatoon 2 single player demonstration
- Super Mario Odyssey trailer (50% gameplay, A few new worlds shown, Hat power-ups)
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2 trailer (with 2018 delay announced for the west)
- Zelda DLC
- Nindie montage
- Talk about online on the Switch
- Talk about NES Virtual console on the Switch
- Show Mario + Rabbids
- Show Pokken Tournament
- Announce Mario Maker Switch
But we all get something that way. How is that not a good announcement?

Dear nintendo save E3
What's really insane is that Retro was finishing Tropical Freeze at the end of 2013. It released in Feb 2014. They've had over 3 years to work on a new title.

Yep. Incompetence.

I would say if you're keeping expectations low, you have too much time on the third party/indie stuff and put that time toward Odyssey.

The fact that they were no where at Sony's conference also heightens the possibility of something being shown. I imagine it will just be a DaS3 port but who knows. It would be cool to see a new IP.

I laughed
because even though I doubt it, I can't say it's not a possibility
Being perfectly honest, SHOW WHAT RETRO IS WORKING ON, AND IT BETTER NOT BE A FUCKING DK GAME

We also have heard nothing of anything new by Platinum Games. I'm guessing something Nintendo related from them tomorrow or TGS in September.

Around the 1:10 mark Reggie says that spotlight is going to be fast and to the point. Im thinking this will be like the indie direct. Lots of stuff at a blistering pace.

No way. Not with Generations around the corner.
Mario Odyssey will save E3.

What's wrong with you
I don't think Nintendo would release the first Zelda DLC right before their next big game launch. They'll wait till they have a lull between games. My guess is two weeks after ARMS.
But they need to release DKC3 first ;p
I don't believe for a second Nintendo has enough Switch shit for their 25 min show
Rather them give attention to some 3DS games that deserve to sell over whatever else they got planned. I wouldn't have made this point if people give Treehouse Live as much attention as the Spotlight
This "out with the old, in with the new" crap is so overdone. Especially when the old is offering good shit and the new thing isn't.
I don't think anyone is raising their bar on Nintendo lol.
Most posts saying Nintendo save E3 are reflective of exactly the predicament low expectations for Nintendo bring to that.

Nintendo could easily win E3.
Honestly, they just have to show FEW and MHXX, lol.
Anything else would be a cool extra.
But that's more about Sony and Microsoft doing horribly, than Nintendo putting on a good show.
Still, a cute E3 thanks to Mario + Rabbids and Wolfenstein 2.
See you all tomorrow, for the TRUE game of the show. Woooooooooo.

Even thought I'm two feet away from my X1 S, and original PS4, I'm ultimately a Nintendo fanboy at heart, and even if Nintendo only show more of Odyssey at this Direct, at least in my heard/eyes, they will have "won" E3 for whatever that is worth.
That being said, I'm glad someone, other than Nintendo, is going for the cute 3D platformer. Super Lucky's Tale looks so damn great. Hyped as hell.

This is a joke, right?

Yeah I feel you. Considering what Reggie said about it being pretty fast-paced though, I don't think we'll have much time with Odyssey before we're swept on to the next thing.

They literally announced and showed off the first Brawl trailer in a PRIVATE gathering. As in the one with Snake

Nintendo said no 3ds during spotlight. Tree house will be handling that though out e3
I'm optimistic, but I'm easy to please. I only buy and play a handful of games each year since life is far too busy for more. Deliver a 5 good games and I'll be stoked. I still haven't beaten Zelda BOTW yet, I don't need an onslaught of games. Just a few of that similar quality (and NIntendo typically delivers a few super high quality games so I'm not concerned).
And give me either a Super Metroid style Metroid or Prime 4 from Retro and I'll be more than satisfied even if there is nothing else. I've been playing Super Metroid for 20+ years... really I don't need a lot of games. Just great games.

Honestly, what could Nintendo show or do that would make things that much better?
Yeah, but it's usually smaller stuff. And that's back before Directs were a big deal. My memory goes to the announcement of Snake in Brawl.
