So she says it's good for the gamers because Nintendo rehashs got more valued but rehashing is bad??? Quite the loop this writer done.

And MS/Sony had quite a good E3, and Gamescom/TGS for Sony was pretty good.

Because new games withing existing franchises (and actual new franchises altogether) = rehashes.

That was the kind of confusion I saw from her.

That's not what she said. What she said is that E3 would have been boring if Nintendo wasn't there. While i agree, you are free to disagree.

Well if any of the 3 wasn't there the E3 would be boring... and deciding any of the 3 were the best at there you know is a useless exercise.

Pretty sure it's referring to Splatoon, Mario Maker, Fantasy Life, Hyrule Warriors, Captain Toad, Code Name STEAM, and Project Guard/Project Giant Robot. You know, the stuff that sends the message of changing up of formulas being a good thing?

Well we haven't saw much from those games to say if they won't fall for hype (and HW at least now that was release we know is basically a rehash of tried franchise). And we aren't sure of what she meant because she wasn't explicity, she could be talking about the general Nintendo games that are criticized a lot of being rehashes.
