Just Nintendo treehouse is not that bad

GodI hope not.Not only it would be bad for us, as fans, as E3 is such a party to put in simpler terms, making it in a much worse show, but Nintendo would lose a time to spotlight their games.Dont fool yourself:A direct would surely atract attention, but not nearly as much as E3 and not in the same (hype) level, at the very least in the foreseeable future.

Unless you want to go in a media blackout, then having less news would certainly help

It would be better for fans, not worse. It would literally be the exact same thing, but at a different date. Square did it for Final Fantasy XV this past March, and it was phenomenally received. Sony is setting themselves up to do the same with PSX. Nintendo doesn't need E3 to host reveals. They already have a platform to do that which is independent from E3, and they know it.

It has nothing to do with media blackouts. It's the same amount of news, but at a different date. Nintendo should just treat E3 like every other expo, just like what they're doing this year. Just stream Treehouse for 3 days and scram.

No its nothing like FF XV.Simply because FF XV has already been revealed before.The surprise was "gone".Sure, we knew still not much about the game, and the event in march was great for it,  but as for revealing a brand new game?No its not, simple as that.Treehouse is great to learn more about the games, to see its gameplay and whatnot, but for trailers, reveals, building hype for game and system, its a bad way to do it, especially on E3, where most people watch the conference and they are done with it.They wont go on to watch the entire treehouse live, or even wait to even go on to watch especific sessions.And if you catch the news after, through a news site or forums, you can be excited about it, but nowhere near as seeing it live, or seeing it first hand.

And Nintendo should NOT treat E3 as a normal expo, simply because they are not in a position to do so.There is an interesting video from Arlo that he made and basically sums my points quite nicely.Do Nintendo need E3?Well no, in the same way that Sony or Microsoft NEEDS E3, but you are simply mad if you skip it, especially at Nintendos current position.
