Hopping on board

Hopefully Pikmin 4 is there. If Hey Pikmin IS Pikmin 4, oh boy...

If the Spotlight is only 30mins, hopefully they will focus on unannounced games and games that we have very little info on.. (Odyssey and Xenoblade please!)

It looks like Nintendo is trying to have one significant 1st, 2nd or 3rd party Nintendo exclusive release per month and they have six empty months unaccounted for in 2018 before the next E3. I'm guessing the amount of new games they unveil at E3 is going to be determined by whether or not they hold steady to their claim of focusing on 2017 releases.  If they're fibbing, then I expect around five new announcements; if they keep to their word (for the most part), I expect maybe one or two new announcements while saving the rest for a major direct later down the line.

Honestly THE best thing they could do would be to start off saying "Mario Odyssey is coming November Xth, for new footage look forward to the Nintendo Treehouse " and then just move on, still I have a feeling the presentation will be longer than 30 minutes...

down to 25 minutes

hype levels real low right now, this thing better be tight and no quirky filler bullshit

25 minutes... that's worryingly short.

I'm starting to fear that they will indeed focus only on Switch titles and only for this 2017, with Super Mario Odyssey and Xenoblade 2 taking half (if not more) of the total Direct time.

Short but I'm not really worried, it all depends on how they use the time.

What do you think guys about this pic?

Three big games revealed would be awesome, especially if one was coming this holiday alongside Mario

Very compact time but then we have the week long Treehouse to look at the games the is also quite a bit of games to go through from those already announced as well, I think it will most likely be the following using the new format:

Splatoon 2
SMTV
MHXX Western Release
XC2
SMO
Mario x Rabbids
FE Warriors
Fate: Extella
DQXI
Zelda DLC
Skyrim
Octopath Traveler
Rayman Legends DE
Yooka Laylee
