irstupid said: 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. |
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!
