If their marketing hadn't been so lacking in the past year or two I might have been inclined to agree.  Directs are nice complimentary pieces but as of late it seems to be all nintendo offers.


That's more true than it should be, but I don't think it's because they're using Directs. Their marketing has been lackluster from the get go this generation, certainly in comparison to the prior generation, beginning with before the 3DS' introduction. I recall a quote from Reggie before the Wii U launch that they didn't plan to market it heavily at first, because with the Wii they tried that and were unable to sell units which were already sold out.

Long story, their marketing is a mess for a multitude of reasons, with the Directs playing only a small factor (if any).

Not sure if serious.

 

Some has been good, but you cannot replace a live conference with this one. Sorry.

Because you don't reach a wider audience and instead narrow it only to Nintendo fans?


And your support for the statement that an E3 Direct which interested people view on a stream reaches less people than an E3 conference  which interested people view on a stream is _________________.
