Microsoft has largely mastered the art of the E3 conference. They go game to game without much fluff and all the games tend to be pretty big budget titles. It's is probably just personal taste though, because I don't find myself caring about much of anything they showed. It was all "That looks cool, but I'll never play it".

Nintendo's conference on the other hand wasn't bad, but it didn't feel as big. I think the way they lay it out with the presenters and the fairly sterile "Direct" format takes away a lot of the energy of traditional E3 conferences. That said, I want to play just about everything they showed. SMT5, BOTW2, Advance Wars, WarioWare, Monkey Ball, Metroid fucking Dread.... It all looked like a lot of fun, it is largely coming soon and they gave us a good deal of gameplay.

If I have to choose between a good conference and games I actually want to play, I pick games every day (though I acknowledge that this is largely personal preference). Nintendo wins.

Everyone else kind of sucked.
