E3 will likely show all these games. I'm hoping for a longer presentation and live on stage. I think they might want to do that. We'll see.
I think that a lot of games were held back for strategic reason for Nintendo. They want to get the hardware out on the market, and make it crystal clear what the consumer is getting right out of the box. I can actually imagine that things could have gone worse if they went too far and there could have been a backlash if consumers misunderstood a certain concept or gimmick if you will; thinking it was part of the core baseline experience :)
I think the whole point of it was to showcase the hardware. They showed us how it works and the different ways we can utilize it's controls. They showed us the launch line up. They showed us Mario as many people would expect that from Nintendo. They should us small teasers of 3rd party support. Regardless the event was about the hardware, NOT the software. I think a lot of people didn't expect Nintendo to focus more on this side of things over the games as they normally do. Also more importantly they informed the consumers that there will be a paid online subscription service. The reason for this is likely due to the notion that many people expected the online service to be free and not subscription based. So by informing the costumers this they know what they are getting into and will not be surprised if they brought the console assuming otherwise. Besides this Nintendo is not yet ready to announced their online plans at this time.
I think a lot of third party games like Ubisoft and even Nintendo games like Pikmin World will be saved for E3, and for good reason. I think some of these have the potential to blow people away when they get revealed. It may be possible that a few users here might be reduced to dust upon the grand showcase reveal.
For now focus on what we have. If you like it buy it, but if you change your mind later and you feel that the Switch is the console for you. Be advise that the demand for the console may actually become higher in the future as more games and features are revealed. It's also entirely possible that this console might not be for you. Unfortunately yes it does appear to be a little pricey in the grand scheme of things to have the best possible experience on the Switch. For some people the PS4 or Xbox One might seem like a better value and even cheaper alternative to their gaming habits. One of my growing concerns for the Switch is how it'll appeal to children and how parents can be convinced get the most value out of this amazing device at the most affordable prices.
