Ticket pls! Am hoping for quite a few shocks/surprises. New Earthbound, Startropics, F Zero would be great. Chibi Robo in some form would be amazing! Showing actual footage of a 2019 pokemon that actually looked good would be amazing. Showing Smash isn't a port and has a subspace emissary-type mode would be awesome. Hoping for 3rd party shocks too. Hoping RR/GTA leaks are true. Fortnite too. Of course an Animal Crossing reveal would be amazing too Wario ware Switched! too please and an actual decent Mario Party . Advance/Batallion wars! Rhythm heaven! Another Mario sports title. Excite truck 2! Star fox! (Hoping if the leaks are true, gp is at least shown to be a decent game.) 1080. Wave race! Wii sports resurrection in some form. Tomadachi life even. Luigi's mansion. After Microsofts' conference Nintendo need to shock and surprise us with at least 3 or 4 announcements. So many things i want to see. Would be great if even only a few of them were revealed.

I wanna see the existing stuff we're gonna get for the next year and half first before crying for new stuff like any spoiled child would." This guy shouldn't get so overreactive over my point of view. I think it's just important to think in the shorter terms when it comes to games announced into a window cuz otherwise you're left with promises that in some cases are left unfullfiled and leave a bad impression on future presentations, case in point Microsoft/Sony's E3 2014/2015 conferences. Also I'm not the guy who searchs for promises to fullfill my reasonning behind the early purchase of a console.  And ... he's making it seems like it's necessary for a console maker to promise games far into the future to make a console sells gangbuster, which ain't true when you got the Switch selling crazy on "promises" from a window of 1 year only. Ultimately, it's fine if he thinks this is necessary to ensure the sells of a console. I just don't think alike him. How am I overreactive? You threw out words like crying and spoiled child which would only provoke a response. I stated a fact about how Sony started strong this gen, basically on a promise of great games. I am talking from a business perspective not my own personal taste in Nintendo games. We already know whats coming in the short term from Nintendo. That is also to be expected and not really a big surprise as games liek Smash, Mario Tennis etc come every generation. To sell hardware to non Nintendo fans they need to show a strong future. If I am a regular joe citizen looking at what's coming, Nintendo's console is not very attractive as an impulse buy. The Switch may have started strong because of the Nintendo fans, but so did the Wii. A bright future keeps momentum in sales.  At one stage Wii was pacing to get to 150 million, there was no bright future after a few years so momentum died.

If the Switch is set to sell 100 million as apparently that's how many Nintendo fans there are based on your silly Wii comment (Wii brought in a lot of non-gamers/casuals through motion controls and the Wii series), why do they even need to sell to non Nintendo fans? Course the Wii stopped seling not because games weren't announced years in advance, but because there were no more games as Nintendo had to prepare for 3DS n Wii U. Believing the Switch or any Nintendo system only sells to Nintendo fans because the known future extends to a year rather than 2+ is beyond silly. I could just as easily say the PS4 is only selling to Sony fans who're willing to wait years for games, but again even if that were true who cares when the console sells like hotcakes.

Ha, as if Nintendo would change their plans based on someone else's conference! They don't care about "winning E3," they're just here to show us great games that will continue to release consistently. In that regard Nintendo will be better, as while Microsoft's conference was good, there wasn't a whole going on for 2018.

Exactly 24 hours until the Nintendo Direct as of this post!

I don't expect Nintendo to do better than Microsoft or bethesda this year. For a lot of people Nintendo won last year but idk.. they have the policy of only showing games that are coming in 1-2 year max while literally every game from the conferences this year is 2019 and beyond. So if they go the underdog way as usuall, we will have lots of coverage for the upcoming games this year, couple of announcements and maybe a trailer for MP4.

But if they want to, they clearly could go all out and show Bayo 3, MP4, Starfox and even could tease a new Big game beyond those titles.

They seem to be way to predictable this year because they have so much to show, but all i want is to be excited and surprised. But it's not with games coming in the next months that Nintendo can fight against bethesda announcing almost all the games coming for the next 6 years lol.

Yeah...I think limiting themselves to 2018 is kinda worrisome, particularly since people watch these shows to be surprised and most buying a console want long term support. On the other hand, revealing their entire roadmap now, which means games will be unveiled but may not get gameplay details because the actual game is not ready to be shown, will just lead to lack of surprises later on, and also constant frustration as to why a certain game is not being shown (just look at how much the Metroid Prime 4 announcement, and one that is unlikely to result in an actual gameplay reveal or potential mention this year, is already resulting in anxiety and disappointment).

The Switch is still at a very critical point in its adoption, I just hope Nintendo does not blow it with this show or their lineup.

You guys are seriously overestimating E3, especially for Nintendo.

Take a look at this site in randomly January. Or how about March. Or whenever Nintendo has a Direct, or even a rumor of a direct. It garners huge attention, gets tons of articles, ect. Unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo's eggs are not mostly all in the E3 basket. We get updates every few months of new and upcoming games coming out.  Just think of that time recently the rumor mill was going crazy about a direct and was more epic than the actual direct itself.

Nintendo has found a way to be on our minds more consistently. Other companies we wait for some Pax, or E3, or something.

edit: and don't kid yourself. Most people watching have made up their minds about which console they want to own or not. Majority of those watching just want to see new games their system is getting, and to ultimately brag about their company winning E3. Sure some new game announced might make them purchase a new system, but it doesn't have to be E3 for that to happen. If GTA6 dropped a reveal trailer in October, everyone would know and those that want it would purchase said hardware. System Sellers do not need E3. Look at the Switch and BotW. Switch was revealed in like Dec, or Jan officially. Switch had zero E3's and was sweeping the world by storm by the time its first E3 even came around.

Why is focusing on 2018 worrisome? Do you think it somehow means no long term support, that they wont have anything for 2019, even though Prime 4, Bayo 3, and real Pokemon are already known? That's why the 2018 focus is fine, because they already have games to look forward to in the future, though I bet they'll announce atleast 1 more. Meanwhile we've got Smash n Fire Emblem releasing this year that we know nothing about.

I suspect many a company only announces as early as they do to beat the leaks. Much better to have a Rage 2 trailer and announcement than a black logo box on walmart. Kills a bit of the hype.

Now a company like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo when launching a new console will want to showcase some future to make sure people buy right away, but once the system takes off, there is no need to announce 3 years into future. They will want 3rd party devs to announce super early, cause why not. But no company 3rd party or 1st wants to announce stuff years in advance. Too much a headache. You have fans, journalists constantly asking about it, or wanting updates. People get upset if there are delays. Ect. It's always better to wait.
