That's fine as long as there is a Direct. I like the Treehouse stuff, but it felt a bit empty last year without a Direct.

Well last year felt little empty only because Nintendo mainly had "one game focus E3".

Regardless to people's personal opinions on what format makes for better viewing, i think this is a missed opportunity. A big E3 presentation in the style of Sony's last one (effectively just a massive gameplay real with a bit of crowd hyping added in) could generate a lot of buzz for Nintendo. Them having a presentation at all would pull in a lot of interest, given how long it's been since their last.

Personally I think no. The scripted Direct E3 events have been much better than stage events. As long as they have Mario Odyessy, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, etc. there they will have a great show. I find sitting through Sony and MS' briefings to be a chore these days actually. Dull and lots of dead space. 

Scripted/pre-recorded keeps everything moving at a snappy pace without listening to person XYZ introduce themselves and blah, blah, blah, just shut up already and show your game, blah, blah, etc. 

I agree, but Nintendo could at least try to get some hype going for their games. I like Directs, but its not very exciting to see two old men in a yarn shop talking about their game...

Less about that and more of the casual person noticing a lack of Nintendo's presence, again

Nintendo made huge hype last year at E3, basically won E3 with single game.
