Konami's been doing the same thing at E3 for years, with varying degrees of success. It's amusing that so many people find fault in Nintendo doing a pre-recorded conference, when any other time of the year, their Directs are actually very popular and well-received. Why would anyone want a repeat of Nintendo E3 2008 or 2012?

Besides, Nintendo seems to have found a new way to do these where they add a little humor and personality. The Smash Direct, the Fils-A-Mech from Mega64, and then the hilarious Mario Kart Direct. Nintendo is definitely getting better and better with those broadcasts. E3 is going to be awesome.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
