Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo Elaborates on Previous Statement About E3

sethnintendo on 28 April 2013

I don't see how anyone can watch an entire hour or so presentation. I like Nintendo a lot but I can barely watch an entire 30 min Nintendo Direct.

I understand that this could be good for Nintendo but.... reggie is now useless lol.


Reggie is not "Kevin Buttler", he actually works on the company managing the American Division.

Reggie not Iwata are actors, they are bussiness men, they don't need to show in front of a bunch of angry people showing them Nintendo's strategy.

They are neither doomed nor saved. Hopefully some people will take notice that they are still attending E3, though. People seemed to have created some type of lie to themselves that Nintendo won't be there at all.

Its not that they WONT be there, its that they seem to be REDUCING their presence. Rather than having a large conference with lots of media, andwith fans to generate hype and noise for all announcements they seem to be reducing the amount of media they are inviting (at least that is what the comments imply imo). They are also not doing anything for fans other than having a booth for games which I find strange. I just find it really strange that they are splitting the presentations as they will likely make less of a splash.


yes, you are right. It seems they are reducing their E3 presence. But at the same time they are increasing their presence during the hole year through Nintendo Directs. By releasing ton of unexpected news on their Nintendo Directs, they have been hyping media coverage not just once per year, like with E3. That is more effective than E3.

If they have good games to show at E3, but have a bad presentation, people make the idea Nintendo fail simply because it couldn't deliver a better presentatino than the others. But with no other competition doing so against Nintendo Directs, they asure the news will be delivered clearly for what they intent to.

You are right in that E3 is more risk and reward depending on how your presentation. But you can always count on a lot of attention from media.Will nintendo direct broadcasts get the same? I mean that is generally how big companies try to angle it - get bigger booths, bigger stores, bigger platforms to advertise your  products. What nintendo are doing just seems so contrary to this principle. Still if it works for them....

They are also planning to have multiple Nintendo Directs and are considering letting the demos available at E3 be playable by the public.


That is awesome. I'd love to play e3 demo's as soon as they're shown. Take note Sony and MS.

 

Has something like this happened before?

What this means is.. dah dah..

Nintendo are testing a "not live" way of show new product.. a way there will make "nintendo e3" more cool.. and they can cut and edit, add all sort of things and so..

I don't like it.. live is more real.. but i understand why nintendo will have these.. more controlled presentations.

Their was some video released that was showen, plus they had some DLC/Games out now type of thing in the eShop. I think there was one demo, because after last E3 is when they started rolling out the demos full force, before that it was only videos.

 

EDIT: Ok it was Lego Batman 2. And it went live at the event.

It was probally popular enough that they are considering enlarging the concept.

did i read we (the public) get to download the demos playable at E3?

NICE

 

WHO cares about the public demos NINTENDO need MEDIA exposure cause the MEDIA write POSITIVE things about NINTENDO.

 

Also not like public people who are too far away from E3 will invite their friends to play E3 DEMOS only, cause that is a LUDACRIST IDEA.

Well Nintendo is having a media event about the same time they are hold their business meeting. Not to mention the Media will also be covering the ND's like usual, and they have been so far beside pointing out that they are coving a lot of the 3DS side of things lately been all positive. And since they are using ND the snafus they have had with the big press event will a thing of the past. So we will not be hearing more about how this demo didn't work on stage and how it looks like it controlls like gargabe instead of hearing about 1st hand experiences of playing with the game. And having a chance to play the demos the press are ourselves.


lol I was being sarcastic.

I thoguht the POSITIVE things the media always say about Nintendo would have been a dead give away.


I totally knew you were being sarcastic,  took me a minute but the caps were in all the right places.  ;)
