Everyone commenting on this all over the internet will be watching this at home. In front of a screen. As such, it doesn't matter whether it's a live conference or a pre-recorded one. In fact, for this audience, a pre-recorded one has more benefits over a live one, as there won't be awkward glitches or mistakes. The only people who ought to prefer a live conference are the journalists and other such attendees at E3. And their number is negligible, in all fairness.


There is no thrill in a pre-recorded video. At E3 industry people react on behalf of fans, try out the games and report back to us. with Nintendo there is no grand preview, its just them telling us whats what without a proper live demo or anything. That can be done at any time and even the non E3 Directs are lackluster. E3 is a grand show and Nintendo excluding themselves from it seems funny.

At E3 the world is watching the big three sink or swim and thats where the thrill derives from.
