Imo 2014 was way better. Nintendo E3 2014 is my favorite e3 show.

If we're going into this, I think I'd put 2017 and 2019 on equal footing and 2014 presentation in 3rd place. It oozed with charm and funny sketches but the games shown in the two other presentations were far superior imo.

I don't know dude. Splatoon, Smash, first Zelda BOTW footage, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblad Chronicles X,Yoshi wolly world, captain toad,  and Mario Maker. Like yeah they had skits but they also brought the heavy hitters. It was a really good mix of both and very enjoyable to watch.

I still hold E314 and 17 in high esteem, just that this year managed to floor me a lot more than the others. All 3 had a lot of quality games to show, but the moments of pure joy and shock came more this year for me.

14 had Captain Toad, Star Fox and the return of the Canvas Curse style of gameplay for Kirby.

17 had my favorite trailer of all time with Odyssey, Star Allies and Metroid.

And this year man, Luigi's Mansion 3 oozing with charm, No More Heroes 3, the sequel of BotW, quality newcomers for Smash Bros. after my disappointment with Joker, Panzer Dragoon out of nowhere.

Just overall feel that the high highs of this year surpass in quantity the highs of the other years for me.



Man, Nintendo wasn't messing around cranking out game annoucements at their Direct. They're gonna make me broke :/.

I was lukewarm about their showing at first but in hindsight they really did showcase quite a bit, with a nice mix of new announcements (or at least finally showing footage of stuff teased at), and more in depth footage of stuff already announced.

Especially after this showing, Switch's library just looks completely stacked. Only area it's still semi-lacking is the brand new, flashy AAA stuff (especially from 3rd parties), but I just plain don't put as much stock in most of these types of games as others. 

Switch is still largely a port/indie machine but I'm fine with that, as I love indies, and I'm usually slow with catching up to modern releases, hell many of the ports/remasters coming to Switch I STILL haven't played or have barely touched. I'm still playing through Diablo III for the first time, that's how far behind I am on many of these games lol. 

After the show, game's I'm definitely getting:

Mario Maker 2
Zelda: Link's Awakening
Astral Chain
Pokemon Sword/Shield
Trial Of Mana (Nintendo's pleasant surprise of the show for me. Secret of Mana is still one of my favorite RPGs and I've barely played the Japan-only sequel)
Metroid Prime 4 (should be "probably" since I know nothing about it but let's be honest, of course I'll get it :P)
Zelda BotW 2

Maybes:

My Friend Pedro
Wolfenstein:Young Blood
Bloodstained
Gods And Monsters (Unsure of XB One vs Switch)
DQXI
Luigi's Mansion 3
Animal Crossing
RE5

And hell, there's still probably 7 or 8 games that have already been out for Switch that I've just been holding off picking up..

I really love the Nintendo Treehouse formula. It has sold me on Astral Chain 100% while just the trailers left me hesistating.



Signature goes here!

In true presentation fashion the person playing is getting destroyed.

Doesn't that mean the game's just hard?

The consistency of this happening would mean every game is hard after all we live in an era where everything that doesn't play itself is compared to Dark Souls in difficulty.

Hollow Knight Silk Song is on now.



Something I've just noticed that I find rather amusing is that Just Dance 2020 is coming to the Wii and the Switch, but not the Wii U.

The 2017, 2018 and 2019 instalments release on all 3 platforms, making them rare instances where a game launched across 3 generations of a manufacturer's consoles (only other one I know of is Fifa 14, which did so on the Playstation). However I've never seen a game launch on the current console, skip the predecessor whilst still releasing on the predecessor's predecessor.

Is this a gaming first?

This is super HYPE!!! 

Well, they just sold me on a year's worth of Nintendo Online for 2020. Animal Crossing is getting the kind of expanded ideas and love that Poke'mon needs. 

P.S. We gotta live on the same island when this launches!

Yeah this does look amazing. The combo possibilities that will come out of having a demon on a chain to tag team the enemy with will be nuts. 



Not as good as E3 2014, but better than any of their other E3 shows since then.

Still no Bayonetta 3 after a year and a half of waiting since its announcement really sucked, (seriously, don't fucking reveal a game if you don't plan to actually show it for years on end) but Witcher 3, footage of the next mainline Zelda, and tons of awesome-looking gameplay of Luigi's Mansion 3 and Yooka Laylee & the Impossible Lair made it worthwhile.

Plus it was a relief for Spyro Reignited to finally be confirmed for Switch; not because I'll necessarily buy it but because the annoying back-and-forth of leaks and secrecy over whether or not it would come were driving me up the fucking wall.

And even as someone with no interest in Smash, seeing Banjo & Kazooie back on Nintendo made me feel warm and fuzzy.

Just saw that Graveyard Keeper is coming to switch later this month.

They should have put that in the direct. Have been waiting for that to get ported to the Switch for a while, the game looks great. Looking online, I see it was announced a few weeks ago, but I didn't know that. Could have made the direct 10 seconds longer to add that, imo. Us Switch owners love games like Stardew Valley, so would have been a good sight to see another game similar.
