But fact is that in this point they said true, they said Eurogamer article was wrong and that's a true.

How handling Switch is totally different than how they handheld Wii U, Wii U was on 2 E3s before launch, Switcj had first unveil 5 months before launch and after that will have full reveal just 2.5 monts before launch, and not single one E3 presentation before launch.

They can pack all in one presentation and that presentation still be intresting, and Nintendo will definitely talk about borrowing staffs too much. Again when you organise big live presentation in Tokyo center, there is no sense to make all that just for short presentation, even Nintendos E3 NDs that had only games were around 50m and they were prerecorded. They will talk most important staffs at full presentation, about less important staffs and details about staffs from presentation they will talk after full reveal, not before.

Let's put it this way: they were wrong on the date; Nintendo was about to go public and still denied it. Not just the date but the whole thing - by not assuming it was coming.

Wii U was talked about in 2011 because the leaks forced them to do that. They even admitted to that.
Still, none of that (they way they revealed Wii U) should be seen as an obstacle: Switch is still getting a live presentation.
It doesn't matter if the presentation is in Japan or the US. They will pay a lot of money to do that... yes, just for that a little more than an hour show. It's what they have been doing for years; one console after the other.

You see it as a short presentation, but Nintendo does not have a problem with that.
That's probably why they did the pre E3 ND instead of increasing the time of the presentation.

Its very simple, Eurogamer said Wii U production is ending this week, Nintendo said that isnt true, period. It all very clear.

Actually before its was very common to unveil your console around 2 years before launch, but today you really don't need for that anymore.

I am pretty super Nintendo wouldn't done at all live presentation if they would make just short presentation. They done E3 NDs because they didn't want live presentation on last few E3s, but now they are doing live presentation. Also live presentation with full reveal of hardware, with hardware fetures, partners and games, and pre recorded video with just games, are totally different things and you can't really expect they will have similar length.
