Massive conferences are cool and hyped but usually live streaming them isn't worth it when you wait for 2 hours and get nothing. Usually pick up the news from IGN after the conference. NDs on the other hand are too little known. There's not much stuff you can tell the general public from those. Guess we'll see. |
One thing we don't take into consideration is who they're inviting from the press to the closed presentations. The mainstream media could still get hands-on time with the best of Wii U titles, and still get the word out, just in a forum separate from the one where said title was actually announced. They get the hype from the direct side, and then make sure that the right people actually play the games in order to optimize their exposure.
What they sacrifice is that one moment a year when even Sony and Microsoft fans stop and watch what Nintendo has to say, but that's very red-ocean thinking, when instead they can feed the base and target the members of the press who will actually be receptive.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
