So, there has been quite a lot of people upset over the length of the presentation (about 30 but could be slightly longer. Nintendo hasn't said the exact time). I went back and compared it to the other presentation and you wouldn't believe the amount of fluff in these. I'll demonstrate with E3 2014 since everyone claims it was the best 0:00 - 3:30 Nintendo starts with a Robot Chicken skit and then there is the trailer for Miis in Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS 3:30 - 8:17 - Sakurai talks about Miis, shows a small trailer and gives the release dates 8:17 - 13:10 - Reggie talks about amiibo 13:10 - 18:13 - Yoshi Wolly World Developer Story 18:13 - 19:50 - Captain Toad Treasure Tracker Trailer and another 20 second sketch 19:50 - 23:33 - Breath of the Wild Tease (then unnammed) 23:33 - 25:11 - Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire 25:11 - 27:04 - Skit and Bayonetta 2 trailer 27:04 - 30:16 - Developer Story for Hyrule Warriors 30:16 - 33:06 - Trailers for Kirby and Xenoblade 33:53 - 34:53 - Super Mario Maker 34:53 - 41:15 - Trailer for Splatoon with a developer story. The trailer was only about 2 minutes long 41:15 - 46:44 - Reggie talks about some stuff, there is another Smash trailer and Miyamoto teases Star Fox So almost the entire presentation was filler. If you count the developer stories, the fluff intro, amiibo, and Breath of the Wild tease, it takes up about 30 minutes of the presentation. Most of these can just be done in the Treehouse and it seems that's how Nintendo is moving (they did this alot in 16). I should also note that most of these games didn't come out in 2014. Only Captain Toad, Smash, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta and Pokemon actually came out that year. If you only look at the stuff that came out that year (including all of the talking about those games), its about 15 minutes, 20 if you include the amiibo. Moreover, Nintendo's Directs have been far more to the point than the original E3 Directs were. So if anyone is worried about the length, it will be fine. |
Nope, still worried! Who's to say the Spotlight wont have a lot of filler aswell.
