again. Why not do both? not being at e3 sends a message that Ninty isnt taking this whole thing seriously and in turn people wont take them seriously. Doesnt matter what some forum goers say. a ND is not a substitute as the people watching does are Ninty fans already. But hey they can do what they want. But im thinking we arent going to see much new if anything at E3

Thumps up. People need to wake up and see the reality. Just because some are ok doesn't mean everyone else is. Companies moves by interests and press is not interest anymore in cover Nintendo.

ND are watched by us, Nintendo fans, and we will watch a live conference or a pre-recorded ND, but not anyone else. Most prefer those conferences, crappy or good.

I still fail to see the difference. The prerecorded experience is superior for those watching at home, and the journalists still get their cake too! All that's missing is a live audience reaction. Don't make me pull my Big Bang Theory clip back out again...

All that is missing is an audience reaction? What about perception?

Because as a Nintendo fan my perception is nothing but negative. For ND I have all the year, E3 was were the big bombs where to be showed. Now this is like another video, just like january, feb, or october or any other month. Now, why waste on a pre-recorded video? Just release a pr and show images.

This is again the "how". About the marketing.

Skipping last year create a lot of bad negative articles, just like today. Many people don't come and talk with us or watches live streams, just read news, and the news they are reading right now is that Nintendo won't held a conference and thus there won't be anything worth to watch.

Perception is immaterial. If they deliver the goods, nobody's going to give a fuck how it was done.

Last year they had some good games, but showed them off pretty poorly (Donkey Kong was unexpected in a negative way, and they made both the spectacular Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 look humdrum, especially bad in 3D World's case). If they had put the October ND trailer for 3D World and Mario Kart 8 Press Event trailer for MK8 in that direct, as well as come out face-forward with Cranky Kong and how DKCTF was going to be "epic", then the perception of the show would have been totally different.

And if the media is going out there creating bad press, then it's Nintendo's job to counteract that. Find all the negative articles and get in touch with their writers. Say "we want to invite you to the Treehouse event and the Smash Bros tournament."

Nobody needs to follow the crowd to create the perception that you're working hard. You just have to work hard. Nintendo's not at fault for doing things differently, but for doing things differently and failing to explain why. They should be making the arguments that i'm making, educating the people who think this is some sort of capitulation.
