| Smeags said: There will be an E3 conference... just not live... Whether it'll succeed or fail has never been dependent on whether it's live or digital, but about the content they show for the fans. Sure, we had great live conferences like 2006 and 2010... but we also had less-than-great (that's putting it lightly) conferences with 2008 and 2012. Being live or not had very little to do with their successes and failures. Nintendo will impress with new features, games, and announcements, not CEO and talking heads going on about sales, ecosystems, and other buzzwords. And with a digital conference, the only technical issue they have to worry about is their live-feed (which *was* piss poor last year. Hopefully they'll have that fixed this time... >_>). No more crashing games (Assassin's Creed at the PS conference) or broken controls due to interference (Skyward Sword). Nintendo will show us exactly what they want to show us, and they'll succeed or fail based off of that. |
Very much this.
A wise man once said that content is king. Nintendo will succeed or fail depending on what games they show and the quality of the showcase material. If Nintendo hasn't been slacking they should have a decent amount of games to show off and if they broadcast a main event and then place out some strategic (not Wii Fit Trainer) announcements during E3 they could not only raise the hype but also keep the momentum going throughout the event.
