I hope they pay some pro cosplayers to cosplay the zelda nx characters

In the past, Nintendo has had a duo in Zelda and Link, cosplay at E3.   The two people were previously featured in Nintendo Power and so they went with them.  I can see something like that happening again.

Although I dislike their decision to not show us the NX 2017 games at E3 they could steal some of the headlines if they create such an amazing booth to get some of the media's hype shining on Nintendo.

The downside of NX not being at E3 is that it doesn't get to make a splash at an event that the world is watching, but the plus side, that is if they hold a unique event somewhere/sometime in September, means that they can run it exactly they way they want to and have 100% of the attention on them.   It's kind of like the pros and the cons when it comes to the system not coming out this November. The con is that Nintendo is missing out on Black Friday and holiday sales…But the pro is that when they release the NX in March, they won't  have to compete with high profile third party games exclusive to other systems or other console's having their own first party exclusives, as well as the push for new virtual reality tech.

March is a relatively calm time of the year, so if Nintendo does the marketing just right, then between September of this year and March of next year, they can make the hype real and have a successful launch, that will also benefit from developers having four months more worth of development time for their games, to hopefully give the console a strong debut lineup.
