No E3 Conference for Nintendo this year - Mistake or not?

[S.Peelman]

It never said specifically there's no real conference, but I agree it doesn't look like there will be. Which is greatly disappointing.

The Directs are nice, but it doesn't have the same feeling a live conference would have. One where you hear the crowd's response, one that has the charms and sometimes awkwardness of the informal interactions between the people. How can they see the 2004 conference and not feel the urge to replicate such an experience? It's never going to happen with a digital presentation. Viewers won't get as connected and involved and it'll never get as much attention as a real stage show.

I find it hard to believe they would have nothing to show. Again. Even if they in fact didn't, they have Zelda this year, or at least, we'd assume so, and that's half the conference right there. Surely they have enough to fill that other half-hour. All these other things are fine, but are just that; side-stuff. I don't understand why they're so reluctant at coming out guns blazin'.
