I said less in 2 hours, not exactly 2. But even with 2 hours they can make interesting show beacuse of plenty of games they need to show.

Its obvious that with Switch they taking totally different approach than with 3DS/Wii U, and thats offcourse good. Wii U was terrible in every way, and it's good they doing everything different compared to Wii U.

Don't expect any Switch info from Nintendo before full reveal (Nintendo basically said same thing), after that we will have some specific NDs about games or some specific Switch features, on which they will spend more time then they did on full reveal.

Nintendo is managing things different than MS and Sony, espacily in Switch case where is totally different compared event to all other Nintendo consoles.

I don't think making it last almost 2 hours is part of Nintendo's plans. From what we can see in other big presentations from Nintendo, they like to keep it close to 1 hour.
Maybe to Nintendo that's the sweetspot to get people excited from beginning to end.

I spoke of MS because i remember that there was stuff there that they decided to go into detail and could have showed elsewhere. And if you ask me, that's the kind of situation that companies tend to avoid nowdays: too much talk and too little action.
That's why i have no problem imagining Nintendo focusing on games and whatever secret Switch has and leaving other stuff out for a ND.
All that stuff about online, partnerships and smartphone integration can be discussed in detail, at once, in another day - be it before or after January, 12th.

Nintendo might have said no more talk until the presentation... but they also said that Wii U was not ending production and a couples weeks later they confirmed it.
I don't think having a ND to handle all non-gaming, non-HW related news, a day before the 12th would be against what Nintendo said so themselves.

Well I don't think Nintendo would make live presentation in first place if they are doing only one hour presentation, that too much recources for just one hour presentation and definatly not evrething could fit in just one hour. We had Switch trailer where focus was on what exatly is Switch and Switch concept, evrething else (other Switch features and possibilities, details, specs, lineup of games, 3rd party games, pricing, date of launch and launch lineup...) will be talked on full reveal on 12. January. You can't really do all that with live presentation in only just one hour, especially if you consider that just last few Nintendo E3 NDs were around 50 min.

Nintendo said that Wii U is not ending in week in which Eurogamer said its ending, and they were right about that, because Nintendo Japan 2 weeks later said it will soon be ending.

But point is they dont want to talk about Switch at all before 12. January, soon it will begin holiday season and New year and their focus for that time is to sell 3DS and Pokemon and other currently available products not to talk about Switch, thats why they set 12. January for full reveal not partial reveal, but after 12. January they will have some specific NDs until launch but dont expect any before 12. January.
