I would much rather a colaboration.  I would be down for a balls to the wall action spinoff with insane skell v skell combat :P

Finished it and honestly looks like Nintendo is still stuck in the gamecube generation.

Besides Zelda and 3d Mario they aren't using the technology at hand.

• I was pleasantly surprised by how interesting Mario Party and Smash looked. I typically don’t like these games.
• Fire Emblem looks fantastic, I like the new gameplay direction, BUT - I really hope those cartoony/hammy American accents aren’t in the game.
• Felt they should have not spent so much time on Smash in the Direct, and instead given more time to other games, or shown some more games. Also, in all the time they spent, they didn’t show the single player mode - because IMO the last game wasn’t nearly as fun as the adventure game they had in Brawl - I am hoping for a return to something with more depth.
• I felt it was a little light on content, I was hoping to see something from Monolithsoft - they spoke of an XCX port a while ago, nothing on that; they also have three dev teams, nothing from what they’re working on. I was expecting some Animal Crossing as well since they have the mobile game - kind of weird they would pump that brand without having an actual Animal crossing game on the horizon.
• No Dragon Quest, what? It is really strange.
• Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC looks really cool. They’ve done very well with this game. I HOPE they aren’t spending too many resources on it.
• Pokemon game looks like a lot fun, graphics are nice in an Animal Crossing/Earthbound style. I am unsure why they aren’t pushing this as the big game this year > watching on treehouse now and it looks like a really cool take on the franchise - the focus on catching and not having to battle them down to a certain hp mount before death (I hated that in Pokemon White), and instead only focusing on the battles on the non-catchable Pokemon. I like the focus on the more iconic Pokemon. IMO this one would have been better to focus on. than Smash.
• Would have liked to see more of a demo on third party titles coming to Switch this year, many were just quickly brushed over or not shown at all.

I don’t know about assigning numbers to a presentation, what’s the scale based on? It sold me on several games I woukdn’t have otherwise bought, so I would rank it as successful. I typically don’t care as much as other people about Nintendo trying to sell me on games I am going to buy anyway. I also don’t care about new game announcements coming since I prefer a more even spread across Nintendo’s Directs, and their Summer Directs have been better than E3 lately anyway (except the Zelda focused one which could have only ever worked for that game).

That would be amazing. Then they could even have the ultrafauna from X. Holy cow, that would be epic!

For the first time ever I think I'm more hyped for 3rd party games releasing on a Nintendo console than for 1st party games.
I guess that says it all.

It wasn't their best (2014, 2006) but definitely not their worst! (2008, 2015).

Excited for Fire Emblem, Super Mario Party and Smash. The presentation was ok, but i couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment at the end.

5.5.

Bad show, very bad show! 2/10 only because I already gave EA 1/10. So much negative news, my heart could barely take it!

+Mech game is interesting, nice way to start
+Fortnite releasing today
+Console Mario Party finally drops the god damn car
+Fire Emblem looks good so far

-Fire Emblem gets delayed, please understand
-Yoshi not even shown, please understand
-Only 1 new 1st party announcement, which is just Mario Party
-Xenoblade DLC does nothing for me
-Splatoon 2 DLC still lacks a date
-Wasted time on the Pokemon cash grab
-Smash ends up being a port despite Nintendo implying otherwise and letting us think it was a new game
-Spent way too much time on Smash over tiny details
-amiibo still aren't dead

They said "look forward to a planned 2018 release." They didn't promise it would release in 2018, just that it's planned for a 2018 release.

A solid 5 from me. Saw nothing of particular interest. I have sworn to myself that I'll get the Switch once Metroid or something as strong gets shown - after burning myself by buying a Wii U on launch. Still not buying one I guess. Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Daemon X Machina, and Smash were good, but the third party AAA support is already gone. This is not looking good so far.

I still have that feeling that you get when you're watching a great movie that suddenly ends early on an inconclusive note lol

In an attempt to be positive... eh... fire emblem looks good and, unlike most people, I am exceedingly excited for a new Mario Party that actually looks pretty good. It has seemed like such a waste to me that such an obvious party console has only had 1-2 Switch for a party game thus far.

So that's something. Otherwise, this E3 undershot every expectation I saw someone have for it before the Direct. It just seems that whenever Nintendo isn't concerned about console sales dropping that they turn in a half assed presentation. Didn't take long for that Nintendo overconfidence to return in force lol
