I'm not shouting, I'm textualizing my thought process for others to see.

What I want to know is how done is Wii U's Smash Bros? If it looks almost as gorgeous as Mario Kart 8 while it's in motion, then it may just be the wow factor Nintendo needs to add more power to the hype train.

All they need is games with actual gameplay and not lame cgi/rendered realtime videos. Thats enough for me.

As a Nintendo fan since the age of 9 who has never allowed a foreign console into his home, i must say, never underestimate Nintendo's ability to drop the ball at the critical moment. It's like that goddamned blue shell at the end of a perfect run and then you end up in 11th place...

Ahem, anyway, can't count them in, but certainly not out. One of the differentiating factors, especially this year with how Sony and Microsoft ran some of their bigger titles, is that Nintendo likes to go all hands-on with their big games, so there will be few, if any, games tomorrow that are just a sizzle reel and a title screen.

It seems to be the sentiment, where were the surprises or the big "wow" factor?  Batman was the best of the show for me thus far, the only game that really surprised me and turned out better than expected.  I started the day saying that MS had a "solid" showing, but they proved to be the best of the day.  Sony probably had equal amount of good software, but their conference was dissapointing and didn't meet most people's expectations.  For me, I was expecting more from Sony, therefore, being more dissapointed.  Again, if you cut all the nonsense from their conference that was bad and only look at the games, it was pretty decent, but the conference was overall lacking.  Ninty wins by showing Zelda alone, unless the artstyle is absolutely horrendous.  I honestly think that SSB tourney will be the talk of the show....but we shall see tomorrow!

I think that MS failed to impress. The only game I'm interested in is sunset overdrive, and it's been announced for a year.
Sony on the other hand debuted gameplay for several games. And announced many more. Honestly, I don't know what more you could ask for in a press conference. They showed me everything I wanted, and now I'm optimistic about the PS4. Now I know that my 2014 and 2015 is going to be filled with 3rd and first parties alike (because of both conferences). It honestly feels like you didn't watch either conference. Sony should have made the tech and tv talk about half as long, but that's it. Sony doesn't ever seem to learn in that department for some reason, but I don't care because the rest was an 11/10 for me.
If nintendo direct is as bad as it was last year, then I'm not seeing them winning. Keep in mind, this is what nintendo direct was.

another smash game, more pokemon, new zalda, mario, and the crowd goes wild.

Nintendo will win due to reviewer pity. Let's give it to the skinny guy situation...

The bar was set pretty low, yes. Doesn't mean Nintendo can't still fail. I remember a certain series of gifs two years ago, proclaiming Nintendo victory by default prior to its conference, only to have its conference be just as terrible as the competitions'...

I wouldn't say "steal the show", but Nintendo might be the top conference of this E3 mostly due to the poor conferences of MS and Sony.

Don't make me start my Nintendo fap now Slade! I am trying to save it for tomorrow!!! I even got 5 maids reggie in case I over do it!!!!
