Why I am cautiously optimistic for Nintendo's E3 "Digital Event"

Just putting this out there.

I may be thinking too big here, but ever since I read the term 'digital event' I thought Nintendo Direct + a live audience - in their press release, they stated that their new kind of program will build upon the ND format...well how do you build upon a video by merely keeping it within the confines of a video? Then I came across this - here's a clip of a non-gaming digital event.

Imagine Nintendo's E3 video playing outside the Convention Center in LA...as well as Times Square & Nintendo World Store in NYC...meanwhile, the Zelda Symphony is jamming out at Rockefeller Center, or something. The idea is that you're getting direct footage of the games, but also crossfading to live reactions as well as live performances.

While that would be awesome, I feel like if that was happening, we'd know about it. I think that the Digital Event should be the pre-show to the Smash Tournament.

Wouldn't that be a spoiler though if Nintendo outright gave a heads up for something like that? It'd be better if it was a planned-surprise-random-encounter lol. 

The event may touch base on the tourney, but its main purpose is to showcase all of this years software and game announcements.
