Forums - Nintendo - What is your favorite part of Nintendo's E3 events?

I love that they are faster pace and move from game to game. Very little sales pitch by developer, they usually just jump right into the footage. Unlike Sony and Microsoft's conference which both feature guys coming stage, talking about stuff that i don't really care about (Sony, there's no need to talk about your film division at a GAMES expo).

The Smash Bros. tournament was awesome, I got to see the game played for a fews hours in a way that kept my interest throughout.

Bayonetta 2's Treehouse showing.
Underwater snake transformation and Mech-suit for the win.



all of it was lovely, but my favorite part was actually away from e3 itself, and that was the Smash fest held at best buy. wonderful experience, and getting 5 mins to play the game was bliss.



I was gonna say the Smash Tournament, but the comment about Treehouse making you feel /at/ E3 made me realise that's the thing I liked.

Treehouse hands down.

Minus Sony's tv talk I enjoyed all three conferences, so winner just comes down to game preferences. The smash tournament was amazing and so fun. Great cosplay, great energy, great fights, good commentary, funny, ect. Hope they have more tournaments.

BUT Treehouse was just amazing

I have no idea what else happened during E3. All I did was sit and watch treehouse non-stop. Heck the only complaint I had about it was that htere was like only 90 seconds break between games. Totally not enough time to run and get something to eat or bathroom or ect. The treehouse event made it feel like no one else was at E3 but Nintendo.

Why did I watch only treehouse and not look at what other things were going on? Because treehouse made it feel like I was there. it's boring going to ign, gamespot, or whatever and seeing what link they post showing someones thoughts on a demo or some new trailer or old trailer, ect. That just feels so disconnecting. Treehouse made me feel like I was at E3. Even watching a game I didnt' like or seen already it still was entertaining.

If other companies don't do something liek Treehouse next year they are idiots. If Nintendo discontinues Treehouse, they are idiots.


Even though I still think the Smash Tournament was the best part of Nintendo's E3, I did enjoy the Treehouse VERY MUCH. And I agree with the bolded entirely! In fact, I'll go one step higher and say not having this, future tournaments, and gameplay demos at local retailers like Best Buy would be idiotic for Nintendo as well!

It was set up that way on purpose I'm sure. The digital event was a quick look at the highlights of Nintendo's upcoming games and the treehouse was the in depth look at everything. I would't have wanted everything on that one day cuz then what would be shown on the last 2 days?

 The bolded above was exactly what I was going to comment here. I watched the other 4 conferences, but afterwards nothing from anyone else but Nintendo. The treehouse guys did an amazing job at making sure we could see all aspects of the games, being funny, talking to the devs and getting little pieces of info otherwise we would never know (Yoshi is voiced by a man!! Itagaki was a weeding planner for the DT dev!!).

 In summary, I loved Nintendo's new approach for this E3. I am crossing fingers they will make it again next year. With Zelda, Star Fox, New retro's game and who knows what new surprising titles Nintendo is working on, next year should be great as well!

The Treehouse showings of games like Bayonetta 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles X were really awesome and I enjoyed watching them!
