I understand what you're saying but the recorded events would have to be less awkward, bloated, and overproduced themselves.  I mean, when you have Reggie and another grown man sitting down to play with Skylander Amiibo or you have Miyamoto wandering around looking at temples, then you're hitting the hat-trick for awkward, bloated, and overproduced.

Still the absolute best show I've ever seen at an E3 was Sony's from last year (or was it the year before?) where they showed games one after another.  Live or recorded, both can be done well or done poorly.

Those examples are a bit unfair though, they're not awkward because they're recorded, they're awkward because they were basically made to fill up time during Nintendo's 2015 presentation seeing as they had nothing else to show. That whole presentation was filler now that I think about it. Worst Nintendo E3 ever imo =P

It's not unfair because it would have been bad either way.  That's my point.  The content is what makes a show good, not being live or recorded.  

Though, personally, I do like hearing the crowd make noise for a surprise or something really impressive.  It enhances my excitement.

I NEED to know what Sucker Punch is doing.
Also, a new God of War trailer or demo would be epic.
Media Molecule HAS to show something about Dreams, its been forever.
Star wars stuff from EA
Insomniac's new game

I'm pretty interested in the Sucker Punch situation too.

I appreciate that, but for every instance of genuine applause there are three or four moments where the speaker intentionally pauses for applause to be greeted with silence.

MSony:
- list of the same games or games only one shows but is on both consoles (or all)... this will cover over 90% of their individual presentations.
- Each will have 1~3 actual exclusives that cover games launching between Fall2017 and up to 2019 if any date is given.
- MS will touch on the Scorpio with final details (hint: its more powerful Xbox One)
- Sony will focus on their sales lead and will push VR again... though I think its as dead as 3D.
- Sony will also continue trend of following Nintendo's lead with some sort of push for portability with PS4. Maybe new Vita variant with bump in performance or new-redefined streaming gaming functionality for a newer slimmer/lower-priced Vita. (before you call troll on this, I think history is pretty clear Sony copies Nintendo's successful innovations and its not necessarily a bad thing)

Nintendo
- Switch focus with maybe a couple 3DS titles
- Elaborate on excellent launch, brag about Zelda
- Focus on some of the common yearly multiplats hitting Switch in the normal fall run with CEOs or others from those companies
- Detail out VC and Online Paywall (will be tied together as the unique feature to upgrade your VC content), will also highlight app support for Switch
- Tease some big 2018 title(s) such as Pikmin, Monster Hunter, Pokemon, etc... switch exclusives.
- Re-iterate larger 3rd party titles such as DQ and something else that is not a typical yearly title.
- highlight a larger number of Indie/3rd party titles though reel.
- A couple 2~3 smaller Nintendo titles/2nd party similar to yoshi, X, etc.
- Double down on rest of year big hitters such as Splatoon2 and Mario Odyssey.

Wait does history really show that? And if so......where? And what innovations would they be copying this time? I hope you are not talking about the switch. Is the Switch the Nintendo version of the PSP just more advanced/a bump in performance? Because ya know the PSP had pretty much the same concept a long time ago. Just saying.......sorry didn't mean to pull the thread off topic!

Edit: If this is saecasam excuse me because I missed it again. I have been slacking there lately lol.

What I'd like to see the most:

-Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer and new info, PLEASE, it's about time, I'm thirsty for new stuf related to this game.. Hopefully they don't show just some random screenshot.
-Xenoblade Chronicles 2 trailer and gameplay and exploration footage. Release date too.
-Mario Odyssey gameplay footage.
-Also, I'd love if Nintendo announced a Kid Icarus Uprising 2 and Luigi's Mansion 3 (let me dream)
-Pokemon for Switch

Nintendo to me has the most avenues to winning E3 due to their wide game potential we can safely assume is there (Like Oddysey and Fire Emblem Warriors), though I will admit Sony could beat them if they have a really good presentation or Nintendo doesn't have any major surprises in or outside what they announced.



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
