I thought it was fine. They spent too much time on Smash Bros, though.

i think so. it was obviously not going to be as good as 2017, and I think Nintendo knew they had to have a very strong start to the Switch after the droughts of Wii U and that 2018 was likely to suffer. Already 2019 is shaping up to be incredible

Well, Smash and Pokemon are December and November respectively so the biggest sales months have the biggest games.  And the 20mil was for the fiscal year ending 2019.  So they have until end of March 2019.  Also makes me wonder if Fire Emblem takes Kirby's slot and adds a boost.

Yoshi...I mean it looks great but that was never gonna do much.  We'll see when that launches.  Honestly, assuming it's good, Mario Party is a bigger potential seller than Yoshi.  

I am willing to have some patience.  I thought this was fine, just nothing special.  I'll be interested to see Nintendo's Directs following this.  We know they have a 2019 focused one already planned.  Will be interesting to see if they pull another fall direct like last year that tosses in some good 3rd party ports and dates for the fall.

Yoshi is not a big player, so that really won't matter. FE speaks to a pretty good niche market but honestly, not enough to where it will affect sales incredibly.

Anyway, I'm not sure if even Nintendo was positive about 20 million either. As far as I know, that was only stated by Kimishima(?) in an interview, never an actual projection. If you know that Nintendo actually set that as their goal then please show me something official because I've never actually known for sure. 

Well, I've enjoyed the Direct a lot, considered it a 9/10, Fire Emblem and that first mech game were amazing, they also announced DB FighterZ finally, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate is EXACTLY what I was expecting (really, I've been having this idea for a while, every single characters from every single iteration in one game... + Daisy/Ridley and K Rool perhaps?)

Take away Smash and Pokemon, and there wasn't much there. Then again. Maybe that's because they know those two games are all they need for this holiday season. Both are 10m+ sellers.

Bit of a letdown it's just Smash Wii U as well. No change to the formula. New characters and stages which is fine, but for as much as they were saying "It's a new game" it really wasn't. Not that I didn't really expect it, but would have been nice to be surprised.

-Graphically it looks different to the Wii u game. 
-new characters
-new mechanics
-new stages
-new items
-new assist trophies/pokeballs
-new character designs
-altered move sets
-most final smashes have been changed drastically.
-content from past games that wasn't in the Wii u game.

This is just what we know so far, likely there will be more characters, more stages and new modes, new music, new achievements, new challenges. The game is still a long way off, they likely have a lot to still reveal.

4/10
Too much Japanese for my liking, Pokémon and Smash clearly are the only things I see myself getting into.. (Again) however the show was a SMASH Hit. Pun intended it was all about it, I love what there doing with it but its really just a Remastered of the WiiU game with all the content and some.

Out of the big three I rated, this is my least favourite, no Metroid Prime 4 footage or trailer, no new game announcement, just like Sony's E3, its what we already know. E3 should be about surprises and Demos, not repeats and lack of footage or trailers.

Xbox - 8/10 < Showed promising games, new announcements, reviving old games, brought studios for continue support etc. 

PS4 - 5/10 < Nothing new, what they showed was good but no new games, no old game revivals and the conference itself was a mess. 

Switch - 4/10 < Pokémon and Smash Bros are the only reason to watch the show, they deserved 2 points each, too much was missing and nothing to spark interests.
