Nintendo seem allergic to giving players what they want. Mainline Pokemon on Switch, that's all people want. Instead they'll keeping milking the 3DS's shrivelled old tits and give Switch an old port of a spinoff game instead. Just when you think they're back on track they drop a reminder of how out of touch they can be.

I think it's too soon for mainline Pokemon Switch game. But not making a Ultrasun/Moon port for the Switch was a big misstep imo. Hell, I was just asking a simple 1080p port like MHXX. Can't find a single reason not to do it.

Also, so much for the hope that Switch would unify Nintendo's handheld and console businesses.

No proper Monster Hunter or Pokemon for Switch, and they're still holding onto the 3DS like a crackhead holding onto a crackpipe. 

Looks like the unified library dream isn't happening, they're keeping their base split.

Ya never dissapoint me curl with your attitude :D

I also don't know how much you want to ask out of the first year of the console. Put all the potential big sellers on the same holiday?

The next Pokemon should have been 2018, Switch exclusive.

That would be some record time for the pokemon company now, since 3DS didn't got a main Pokemon game till 2 years after its release, same with DS.

And now it being in HD if the Switch gets one, that is gonna take some time.

Sun and Moon Holiday 2016, Pokemon Switch holiday 2018, two years is doable, they used to make HD COD games that fast.

I don't understand how you can call "useless filler" to the extras they have on their presentations.
Some parts are funnier than others, yes, but they have a purpose: entertain and keep things from being dull (E3 2013 style!).

Having conferences instead of a bunch of trailers released online is the same difference between listening to a CD at home and on a music hall: it just WAY better!
Big live conferences have people cheering, laughing, applauding; it's more exciting than just sitting alone and watching the trailer.
Also, ever noticed how the scripts are written? It's filled with carefully picked words and whatnot. That's marketing, too.
Everything about a live conference is to make things bigger, better. And that's way studios spend a lot of money on them instead of throwing trailers to youtube.

My problem with E3 2015 is related to the lack of announcements for Wii U.
I kinda enjoyed the puppet show. E3 2014 was a lot better, though!

I don't think it's just my opinion.
If you take a look at SW sales for PS4, you'll that the first exclusive announced at the reveal conference sits at... try to guess it... 40th place: Killzone SF.
I'm obviously excluding 3rd parties as they were also released for XB1.

 

It's pretty self explanatory, filler keeps us waiting to see what we came to see. If we wanted to hear audience reactions and jokes, we'd just watch a sit-com, and I never watch those. :L

Still avoiding my question, but I'm sure you know the answer. It's fine if you prefer those types of E3's, but a laugh track and action figures are not necessary to get people excited and make your product well known, the numbers prove this.

I don't see any sense in excluding the main reason people buy PS4s. Doesn't matter if those games are also on XB1, PS3, 360, Wii U, 3DS, Ouya, Atari, Dreamcast, Virtual Boy, or PS5.

So, Arms review embargo is lifted already and it's doing decently so far. Lack of content seems to be the common complain.

I preferred E3 2014 and would prefer them to copy that more, including the developer stories since they were interesting.... Well except the Hyrule Warriors one, that was so boring. But to get all the games they have and make some new announcements they might need to cut some of that stuff to get it in 30 minutes. But who knows, this press announcement might be wrong with the times. Press team might not always know this info.

I think that Nintendo will probably not cover any 3DS game. If they do they will have really brief trailers.I also don't think Pokken Tournament will be in the Spotlight. I just hope they announce a few of there 2018 games.

Having a 30 minute video was their choice.
If they cut stuff it's because they decided they were better off without it.

We can't count on them being wrong - wouldn't mind, but i also haven't seen anyone correcting the mistake.

I'm also counting on some 2018 games.
I wanted more than a few, but what you gonna do?

I'm pretty sure companies like Nintendo, Sony, MS, EA, etc., would disagree with your idea that conferences or digital presentations with more than just trailers, are basically meaningless!

If your question was about E3 2015 and how marketing wouldn't save it, i think i answered it.

Go back to 2013.
People were pretty much divided between Sony and MS.
After the presentations and E3, the divide favoured Sony. And i questioned what did they show that created that divide. Was it 1st party games? No. Was it 3rd party games? No.
The main seller for PS4 was not games, it was how they presented themselves to gamers. That was what sold PS4 to a point where they outsold XB1 by more than 20 million consoles.
