Well if Nintendo announce their NX and if it is ready for Christmas, I bet for them but this just a dream hehe :)

Super Mario Run got me excited tho.

And when he trolls American Ninty gamers he makes the rest of the world giggle with naughty amusement.   

Maybe they wanted people to spread a new viral meme. That old juicy giant enemy crab was starting to spoil 

No real need. But the New 3ds Xl was announced, and they did a great job.

It doesn't have to be ready for christmas, it just needs to have as many people saving up for it as possible. March isn't a huge spending month.

Fair enough.

That is one thing I definitely like with Nintendo over Sony, they know how to make good shows. Directs and Digital Events are always a good time, even if they can appear childish. Sony on the other hand makes the most boring shows. They always bore me and sometimes outright annoy me. Heck, not only what the meeting a borefest, even the games looked very uninteresting, and that's pretty bad in my book.

I try to give Sony the benefit of the doubt with their events, but time and time again I'm greeted with the same thing. Others may not agree, but I think they really need to change up their shows. The meeting is going to be the last show of theirs I watch if they keep going with this sort of presentation style.

Most events are boring. Nintendo directs can appear as somewhat fun I guess, but they spend so much time making sure we don't discover a single thing about their games by painstakingly explaining every freaking features for 10s of minutes... And most of their little skits make me cringe more than anything.

Sony has Andrew House who always looks very uncomfortable to be in front of a crowd. We're used to him, but he's not the most charismatic person to hear and watch. Shawn Layden, while no Jack Tretton, does a much better job by being dynamic enough in his delivery to not put me to sleep.

Microsoft has Phil Spencer who's all smug but isn't really compelling either. He is charming enough though and I put him as roughly equal to Shawn Layden when it comes to stage presence. 

None of them do much of a great job though. When I watch these shows, what interest me are the information and reveal. The rest, I really don't care much about. Last Sony's E3 was pretty much how I'd like all these events to be like. Announcements after announcements, game footage after game footage, with limited talking. Let the actual games and footage do the talking.

Essentially, that's what's so great about the E3 digital events too. They're entertaining, and after we get new reveals, we also get the treehouse where it does nothing but give us a TON of game footage. (Granted the discussions during Treehouse are garbage.)

But Nintendo's E3 Digital Events are pretty much small skit  followed by tons of game videos, then another small skit followed by a ton more game videos. The essential problem is 2015 and 2016 they didn't have anything to talk about. When that happens, the Events were bad, but nothing was really gonna change that

I'm glad that Sony does not use gimmicks at conferences like Nintendo. Reggie is a clown and I don't find him funny as humorous, but rather funny as in he is a joke. Yes Cerny's voice is too soft. People expecting new game announcements should have educated themselves on what this event was about. I prefer companies get to the point than trying to be entertaining.

Are you saying we live in a better world because that didn't happen? I'd love to see a person dressed like Terra flopping around on the ground, and think of how many ways that could be used in these forums. Missed opportunity I'd  say.
