But they basicaly said again "Nintendo will focus its E3 activities on games coming soon". No, I will read in evrething they wrote, and how on mind how they mangaed last E3 and last few Directs, actualy ignoring all that and pay atentione only on "Games launching beyond 2018 will be featured at a later date" part is tottaly wrong. Again, you can bet (if you want we can bet?) they will definatly show/announce some 2019. titles similar like they done last year, but again they will not be in focus. If you remember last year pre E3 talk, you also had concern about focus part, and I told you they will definitely have some announcements that are not 2017. despite focus part, and I was again right. I talking about internet reactions, including this forum, neogaf, and games sites, YouTube... Yes, fun and interesting and good managed. Point of Pokemon and Metroid Prime 4 announcements were to calm shitstorm because Pokemon and Metroid Prime announcements just for 3DS and no for Switch, totally logical and understandable move from Nintendo. Wrong, they showed/talked about 12 games not 10, only one game from Spotlight was already out (ARMS), there were 6 new announcements (Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4, Kirby, Yoshi, Rocket League and Mario + Rabbids), and they talked/showed 5 games that were previously announced (Splatoon2, Fifa18, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Fire Emblem Warriors and Super Mario Odyssey). Point that they showed Fifa in such short presentation is good enough, it's not like Fifa is exclusive game for Switch so that they need to gave much more spotlight on it. So yes, pretty good managed, but nothing strange that I totally disagree with you. :) |
But the "Games launching beyond 2018 will be featured at a later date" is what's different from other years! That's really the point here: when Nintendo specifically says something like this, then they do have the intention of holding back those announcements for a later reveal.
This is what they DIDN'T do last year.
My "problem" with the focus in 2017, was not if they were going to show 2018 games or not; My problem was with them not focusing on 2018, instead.
And actually, you were the one who said that i shouldn't worry, that they would reveal at a later date in 2018. How did that turn out for you?
Not wanting to make this a competition, but i was kinda right: they didn't reveal more for 2018, because they were low on titles for this year.
The first semester releases clearly show that. Not to mention that there isn't a single NEW 1st party title for the first half of 2018 - is there?
You're right, i forgot M+R. I counted wrong.
Oh, M+R had already been announced. That doesn't count.
They don't need to spend a lot of time on FIFA 18, because it's not exclusive, but they can spend a lot more time on Rocket League, which isn't exclusive?
And 20 seconds on such an important franchise is enough for you? Sure isn't enough for me, but ok.
In reality, they waisted time on a comercial for Arms (nothing new); put in a comercial (nothing new) for Splatoon 2: another (nothing new, aswell) for Fifa 18; showed Rocket League twice; the Reggie and Takahashi segments could have been handheld way, way better; wrong video for FEWarriors; 2 waisted announcements (they didn't announce Pokémon and Metroid because some fans were upset about Pokémon on 3DS or some fans were dying to know about Metroid; they announced because they had anything better, otherwise they would have saved them for later. Nintendo is not a company that decides stuff this big because some fans got upset); re-introduced M+R.
So, the only thing that they actually had to show (really show!), were 3 games: Kirby, Yoshi and Rocket League.
Because, announcing stuff is always easier than showing. All you need to do is start a project - or not - and announce it.
Yeah, it seems that we are bound to continuing to disagree! :D
