Forums - Nintendo Discussion - No E3 Conference for Nintendo this year - Mistake or not?

 

Should there be a Nintendo E3 conference?

Yes, absolutely, crazy for not bothering! 354 50.79%
 
No, they don't need one and the ND suffices 162 23.24%
 
I'll wait to see how it all goes 178 25.54%
 
Total:694

So Nintendo have announced their E3 plans. No conference, but they are having Smash playable at Best Buys across the US, a Smash tornament, a nintendo direct and a "tree house" at E3 (just a place for show goers to go see the devs themselves.

Is this a mistake? Should Nintendo be having a conference this year??

Again no conference? is this confirmed? if so, nintendo have lost it. stupidest decision ever.



I'm not even a Nintendo fan and I have to say I'm still excited for what they show, with or without a press conference.



I can't believe. What are they thinking? Really? And people is surprised by the Wii U sales. This is only a consequence of big mistakes like this one.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I want to know what is that TREEHOUSE thing 



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

"This year, Nintendo will offer fans a deeper look at Nintendo's biggest games of E3, with information directly from the source. The "Treehouse," the Product Development department at Nintendo of America, will provide in-depth game demos live and unscripted from Nintendo's booth. This new program will be live streamed during all hours of the E3 show. Fans can get settled in, open their browsers and experience the Nintendo games at E3 like never before."

I can experience better with demos I can play. Not looking at anyone else playing.

I'll have to wait and see. Another ND like last year would be a disaster. This "Digital Event" might be really good. Or it might suck. It really depends on the format. It needs to be something that builds hype, streams well and that caters to media outlets. If it does these things, great... it doesn't need to be at the theater. If it fails, than it is another stupid decision by Nintendo.



Mistake. Just proves they chose not to compete with Sony and MS.
Sick of their dumb decisions,

If you aren't attending E3, both a conference and a Direct will be a stream to you. Additionally, the Direct last year cut out the business talk which a lot of gamers loathe so much and was shifted into seperate presentations for journalists and investors/analysts.

I agree, it also saves them money of not having to make a flashy show just to show off games. If anything I think MS and Sony should adopt something similar, this way we don't have to wait once a year for a big event to announce new games and show off new trailers etc..... Although I would miss the traditional E3.
