I don't like that the April Direct was like 35 minutes ... and Nintendo's E3 Direct is 25 minutes. Your E3 Direct should be the biggest Direct of the year. Yeah, yeah, Treehouse and all that, but I still don't really like it. It worries me a bit because they're totally going to devote some of that to things like FIFA, Skyrim, NBA2K, and probably Indie games too. 

Some random Direct in April shouldn't be longer than your E3 Direct. That said they'll probably show a logo for Metroid Prime 4 and half the people on the forum will fall over themselves. It's sooooooo easy for Nintendo to have a "good E3" it's actually hillarious that often times they don't put in even the barest of bare minimums to ensure it. I'm expecting Mario Odyessy to look incredible. 

I don't think its them doing bare minimum. I think that's just how they want to present their games this year. Streaming and live gameplay are things nowadays and the internet is incredibly huge. Instead of using so much money to get a stage floor and present, they've decided years ago that streaming their presentations prerecorded and with little hiccups (ie, the bluetooth interference of the motion controls for Skyward Sword) and interruptions would suffice while transitioning to providing gameplay for fans who want to know and see more of the games announced or yet announced. That's their personal preference and so far it hasn't let them down yet.

And I think it's the right approach. Going fast through the games they have in store, and focusing on gameplay later for those interested in the games. Conferences are and will always be dull. I mean, I almost felt asleep watching the MS and EA confrences. Sometimes they're as cringe-worthy as they can be xD.
