Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Game Awards No-Show Proves It Simply Doesn't Need Anyone Else

The Game Awards is more like a 2-hour long advertisement these days. Outside the main "award" and a few musical performances, there isn't much reason to stick to the whole thing waiting for fresh announcements (unlike your usual E3 presentation). There's too much noise and irrelevant stuff dragging the viewer's attention, which makes it harder to set the right mood for something special. A Direct is the right place for Switch-related news.
