@Monado_X I might be conflating 2014 with the 2013 direct..... I'm thinking XCX, Zelda, Tokyo Mirage, Wooly World....a lot of things that were a long time off for a very Sony show.
Sony OTOH, Death Stranding, yeah....that was mostly a "See, look, we have Kojima now" (With the embarrassing virtual red carpet that was out of step with him.)
Between that, and HK3, FF7, remember...I don't even remember the name.....Square's big...something...taht seems like total vaporware, the whole debacle of Rime and No Man's Sky being presented as they were, and trotting out Shenmue to advertise for a freaking unfunded Kickstarter at a multi-million dollar presentation. That's just low. Sony: You're a publisher. If YOU aren't going to fund this game, why exactly do you think someone else should? And why does this have anything to do with a Sony show?
@Grumblevolcano So there were a lot of solid showings in there. Wooly World, XCX, SMM, SF:0 are 4 taht had no place being in there. And the absence of SMTxFE at that point was getting awkward with all the others that shouldn't be there being there. But with all the stuff that WAS current it's not as bad as I was remembering it.
But yeah, I agree with @MarcelRguez , from what we already know: Arms (ARMS may be old news but with an "available THIS FRIDAY after the show!" tag that makes it more awesome E3 news. Most big E3 games aren't on sale E3 week), Splatoon, Odyssey, XC2, SMTV, DQ11(Maybe?), Rabbids (Probably?), FE:W, FE18, Sonic Mania, Sonic, Forces, Skyrim, Octopath, Pokken, MHXX,Shantae,Yooka....that's a pretty solid lineup for a first console E3. That excludes indies/eshop and unannounced 3rd parties. And that's with Rabbids being the only unannounced thing (SMTV is announced (it's on NoA's site as "TBD".) Any other surprises and that's a pretty crowded presentation.
i forgot that they reveal 2 smash chars at E3 2014.
i be okay with either E3 2014 or E3 2013 route.
also don't forget they have Nintendo Treehouse E3 thing. they could reveal something new their as well. weather it's Switch or Nintendo 3DS.

Switch Friend Code: SW-5070-3616-4044 | My Nintendo: Aozz101x
@MarcelRguez Same. That Switch Conference trailer made it look like it was still early in development.
It won't take nearly as long as Persona 5, though, as I'm expecting they'll use that game's engine for their HD SMT games for a good long while. I'm guessing mid-2019, barring more information on its development.
@Aozz101x They revealed stuff there too for E3 2014. Mario Party 10 was revealed via a trailer on youtube after the digital event which Treehouse went into detail for gameplay. Then there was the Codename STEAM reveal at a developer roundtable that wasn't streamed but then got a rather significant Treehouse segment on the final day. At a different developer roundtable, Pac-Man was revealed for Smash (so 3 characters overall were revealed during E3).
E3 2014 really set the expectations for a Nintendo E3 and so the following 2 E3 years ended up very bad in comparison.
@IceClimbers I thought 2015 would be one of the best E3's after the NWC, but that went downhill shortly after
Holding my excitement the next time I see new AC game footage...
And I remember trolling my cousin by telling him a new Metroid Prime was announced haha
The Zelda U announcement in 2014 wasn't 'actual' game footage so much as it was 'representative' game footage. If we're being honest that first field they showed was more interesting than most wilderness spaces in the game.
Literally all I need from this event is a Metroid Prime announcement or for someone to say the words 'Monster Hunter' and 'Switch' in English, in the same sentence. That's how low they've brought my expectations with this half-hour garbage. There better not be any amiibo or 2D platformers in there!
@Timppis Wii U ports don't need to be in a only 30-minute-long Direct. Besides, the Switch has Shovel Knight. I don't want to see Nintendo spending their resources on a bunch of only decent 2D games when there are plenty of other, more interesting genres the system still is lacking in.
NEW Donkey Kong Country or NEW Super Mario Bros. wouldn't be ports would they?
2D Platformers is what Nintendo does better than anyone else (Granted, Shovel Knight is a great game).
Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze were one of the best games I've ever played co-op.
Genres that Switch is still lacking is mainly due to the age of the system. I would love for many things, but alas Pikmin is still shrouded in mystery as well as AC.
Luckily at least Wargroove is coming to give me my strategy fix.
What they should do is announce Nobunagas Ambition and Romance of the Three Kingdoms localisations. That would be awesome.
@Timppis 2D platformer is the genre that no other AAA dev but Nintendo does, and for good reason. There are like 5 different SPRGs announced for or already on Switch. Disgaea 5 just released, and Fire Emblem is coming.
The system needs the first-person adventure genre of games. Skyrim is one re-release, but where are Arkane's games? What do the multiplayer shooter people play besides Splatoon? Mario Sports hasn't reached its heights in several years now, what's being made of Mario Baseball and Strikers? Action adventure games look like they're going to be non-existent after Mario and Zelda, is there anything else on that front? Racing after Mario Kart? If you wanna talk about Nintendo-only franchises, obviously Metroid or another metroidvania is what they need to show here.
