"Nintendo is still going to have announcements and surprise games... Everyone's going to be tweeting about it; everyone's going to be talking about it, regardless of if they do it at E3 or they do it via video."
"So, we won't have a ton of the fanfare... but the end result is new game announcements... so maybe the format doesn't matter as much, right?"
"I still firmly believe E3 showmanship matters, but right now, regardless of the format, everything is on 'what is this video and what are you announcing'... That's all people care about."
This is a (shortened, obviously) conversation between Jose Otero (paragraphs 1 & 3) and Brian Altano on IGN. Can we put to rest this baseless myth that the media will ignore Nintendo's announcements just because they aren't made in front of a live audience? Here is the media itself saying they will still cover Nintendo's event and that what's important is the content of it, not how it is presented.
