Cheebee said: 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 conference. 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.

There is no thrill in 'live' presentations. Those are rehearsed beforehand as much as prerecorded shows, and even then often wind up embarrassingly awkward and chock full or errors. Even so-called 'live' demos have often in the past not been live at all. Kinect's unveiling 'demo' comes to mind, and there are many more such examples.
People at E3 do try out Nintendo's games and report back to us. Nintendo is at E3. It's just the initial conference - the starting presentation - which isn't done live. All the games and demos and showfloor-hands-ons and booths and accompanying stuff are all there.
Honestly, these reasonings of yours hold no water, at all.
