For the poll, I voted Nintendo but Xbox/Bethesda is a close second because in my eyes it's basically the last chance they have to get me back on board. I'm excited to see what may be and what absolutely needs to happen in order to not walk away from the show disappointed. Nintendo will almost surely bring at least Smash Bros characters and updates on some of the games we know are coming but need more info on (Zelda, Bayonetta, Metroid, No more HEroes, Super Mario PArty 2, etc), and they usually have a run of indies and smaller games, so that's what I'm most excited for, but it's Microsoft I'm most interested in seeing. Because if they fail to bring us anything...AGAIN...then I just don't see the brand recovering.

Basically, anything short of 2+ hours of nothing but back to back exclusives with actual gameplay and proposed release dates is going to be a disappointment. That's what they need to stay in the race, as far as I'm concerned and I'm 50% convinced they'll pull it off. Because they have to. So far we've gotten plenty of acquisitions and game name reveals with minimal info and no real solid release dates on a tonne of Xbox stuff, so they have unlimited potential but almost no concrete information aside from 'Halo infinite should be coming out soon, I guess; oh, and we have Bethesda so we'll probably show something Starfield/Elder Scrolls, too.'

Point is, Nintendo and Microsoft are the two I'm most interested in. Nintendo because even if all they show is a new smash character I'm likely to fist pump over it, and Microsoft because so, SO much hinges on their presentation that it has to be good, right?

Show is not even two hours, and having those expectations is just setting up for disappointment. And clearly when all Nintendo needs to show is dlc smash character to get your "fist pumping." You've already shown your bias. Btw, we good, you can stay off board.
