| HintHRO said: Nintendo still doesn't realize E3 is one of the biggest gaming events in the world and they are not taking advantage of it by showing games that appeal to multiple types of gamers that are otherwise very difficult to reach via social media or the internet. No Nintendo, not every gamer in the world likes Smash. Not even all Nintendo fans. |
They realised that that's why they focused hole E3 2016. to Zelda BotW that already become best selling Zelda game ever. What difrent with Nintendo compared to some others companies is that Nintendo is saving some announcements for Directs also and that they are focusing for releases in near future, almost all their E3 announcements are 2018. releases.

No it dont need, not every person want to be showed game 2-3 years before launch and that game than be at several E3s before launch.
| DélioPT said: Nintendo seems to have a new angle for E3. When Zelda Botw was all the rage a couple years ago, they thought they could focus on a major game for E3 and people would love it. Zelda, Mario Odyssey and now Smash. Also, Nintendo's strategy of scattering announcements throught the year is good when you have a lot to show. When you don't [have], that makes each announcement less impactful. |
Reason why they decided hole E3 2016. only to Zelda BotW is because they didn't want to talk about Switch games yet that they were saving for January presentation, so E3 2016. was exaption and really can't be compared with any other E3.
But it's very obvious that Nintendo has staffs to show through the year:
-January: Kirby, Mario Aces, Dark Souls, DKTF, The World Ends with You: Final Remix, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, Celeste, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle DLC, SNK HEROINES Tag Team Frenzy, Labo...
-March: Smash Bros, Splatoon 2 Expansion, Okami HD, Sushi Striker, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, Undertale, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, Little Nightmares, South Park...
-May: Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, Pokemon Quest.
-June: Fortnite, Paladins, Daemon X Machina, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Overcooked 2, Killer Queen Black, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Starlink, Fifa 19..
Offcourse they could show more staffs at E3 if they wanted, but they didnt want that, and we can expect at least 2-3 more Directs in rest of year where we will have more 2018. announcements.
