I liked Nintendo's E3 digital event. Some of that affinity derives from the Muppet-shaped hole in my heart, a void that only a felt-and-plush Satoru Iwata could fill. IGN's official review of the presentation highlights some real problems with what Nintendo did (or didn't) have to show off this year, but I came out of the digital event smiling, excited, and happy, because Nintendo is giving me a lot of what I want.IGN's Official Review of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event
Nintendo showed me that they are the only major hardware manufacturer that still cares about supporting mobile gaming on a dedicated device. Sony's first party support for my beloved Vita has slowed to a trickle, but half the games Nintendo highlighted on Tuesday were 3DS titles. I often fill the time during long bus commutes with Etrian Mystery Dungeon or A Link Between Worlds, and in the coming year I'm getting a new Zelda, a new Metroid, and a new Fire Emblem on my handheld. The folksy vibe of Yo-kai Watch intrigues me in a way Pokemon never has, and Paper Jam has me chomping at the bit to play.
