the idea of a bloated, overly expensive, live conference is unnecessary. What IS necessary, is to engage your fans, get the attention of potential buyers, and show off LOTS of content. If they can do that, having lots of videos throughout E3 instead of one big waste of a conference, could really work.

Don't get me wrong, Nintendo has had some truly great live conferences in the past, and some really great moments coming from them. But I'm not broken up about their shift in approach. If what they do works, you might well see more companies try it. In all honestly, E3 has been fading out as far as actual importance to the industry for awhile now. It used to feel like something to really look forward to. But these days? Not so much.
