I'll post my thoughts here as well :p

I wasn't expecting much, but that was pretty underwhelming, in terms of reveals and premieres..

All those ads threw the momentum off, and while I like game music, there was a lot of music..

Great idea not to watch the show and keeping my expectations low, and to be honest no one should expect anything big from nintendo at this awards after the cranky kong fiasco

Nintendo gets 2 awards. Not bad if you ask me :p

Yeah! I think even a new Smash C haracter would be enough <---- Imagine if they revealed Cloud here instead from the direct.......... 

Oh wow, just thinking about it... that would be crazy!

Every time Nintendo is at one of these events, fans go crazy with predictions of "Pikmin 4 reveal! New Zelda gameplay and title!"

Modern Nintendo is best treated with low expectations. Their showings usually underwhelm.

That's basically the same attitude I have when they have a Direct. I try not to pile on all the hype too much otherwise I'm just setting yourself up to be dissapointed. 

So, nothing new on the VGA? Well, I expected that so nothing new. I didn't see the VGA because I was busy playing XCX. Holy shit, what an amazing game. I was glued to the TV for 8 hours!

Are you fucking serious? That's outraging! I'm gonna do a Cranky Tropical Freeze speed-run to get over this.
