I think if they were to go at the same pace they did with the last Nintendo Direct then they could pack 30 mins with a lot of good stuff. I don't think there's any need to panic.
I would be shocked if anything substantial is announced for the Switch after the spotlight. The hype is gone, it's time to face reality.
Around 40 minutes. Granted, it was also littered with several "Developer Stories" where developers ramble on about their games for several minutes.
When have they ever announced something that wasn't budget game during Treehouse ?
30 minutes is more than enough to show even several Metroid games, so I'm ok with that.
Only new 1-2 games will be shown, huh?
And Nintendo really doesn't like Sony's strategy of showing stuff super early to get hype and sales anymore, huh?
They obviously have 2018 games. Just don't wanna talk about those until a 2018 direct, huh?
Maybe that's why the Spotlight Presentation's shorter than the Digital Events, less Developer Stories, save the talk with guys like Koizumi for Treehouse Live, maybe?
It's better than 3-5 minutes focused on Ubisoft developers on how and why the Mario x Rabbids concept came to be

Yikes, guess they have nothing to show.
What a mess.

Ever Oasis.
Why would they tease Mario Odyssey???Are we crazy to think that game is Mario Odyssey though?
Edit: "tease"
There might me some small new announcements like Ever Oasis or Triforce Heroes that came out of nowhere in recent years (or Animal Crossing the Board Game whatever that was called).
I don't think we'll see a big surprise title beyond Rabbids Kingdom though.
That's kind of short, but if they cut their "playful" segments (interviews, muppet shows) they can still have a lot of announcements. I was hoping for that bit of playfulness though.
Wouldn't put it past them tbh.At this point I'm setting my expectations at 'Retro spent the last 4 years remaking DKC:TF for Switch and it'll be called Tropical Freeze Delight."
That's where I think I'm at with Nintendo.
Though it hasn't happened yet, I declare Nintendo's E3 the worst by far of the bunch.
Makes sense. Use it for announcements and treehouse to show gameplay
I cringe when people lambaste those.I actually love the developer stories.
Not even going to waste my time to watch. Will find out what was annouced via gaf. Nintendo's direct and announcements never fail to disappoint.
first no pokemon switch, now a short presentation. They're abandoning the Switch arent they? Fuck u nintendo.
I swear to God if that's what they do.At this point I'm setting my expectations at 'Retro spent the last 4 years remaking DKC:TF for Switch and it'll be called Tropical Freeze Delight."

I've been saying this for a couple of days now but, keep expectations really reallllly low. If Pokemon direct is any indication, is that Nintendo is a bit unprepared for Switch's success and likely very conservative in their presentation of things to come, especially with that 2017 focus.
You can't put much into 30 mins.. If Mario Odyssey takes 10 mins of it, prepare yourselves for not much bomb droppings. I'm not even expecting they show what Retro is working on at this point. They could and they should drop bombs all the over the place to hype Switch, but they won't. At the same time, if you can't even get enough units out til probably the end of the year, probably many changes have been made to spread games further down the line.
