Nintendo Digital Event (and E3 2014)

I think the short size is a good thing personally, most presentations feel like most modern movies to me. By that I mean they have enough content to have a great half an hour to an hour (or in a movie's case one and a half to two hours) and insist on stretching it to a third or more beyond that.

Short and sweet over long and boring I say. Although if I'm honest that was boring at times as well, but only really at the beginning with all the talking. After that it picked up. I didn't honestly notice the amount of time that passed, so to me that's a mark of success.

I think there'll still be more stuff to see. They made a fuss about how there's going to be content directly from the Treehouse and I think that'll be pretty substantial stuff.

I'm pleasantly surprised by the sequel to Power Paintbrush. Also cool how Zelda and Midna are going to be playable in Hyrule Warriors. And that Bayonetta wore a Link costume. And the Captain Toad game looks pretty sweet.

Games shown including Mario Party 10 but not Devils Third, also dates for some just click on them

10 Minutes to Treehouse

I might have to pick me up that link and marth amii-whatever. Maybe zelda to accompany link as well and maybe also pikachu for pokemon reasons.

I'm going to get them as there cool looking.

I will get as many as I can reasonably afford.

Meanwhile, Starfox.

I felt the NDE was the right length, its like they paced themselves knowing they were going to show off games in the treehouse stream & everything just looked like so much fun.

So much more exciting than a standard conference.

I'm being told that the Treehouse video on Youtube is private this morning. Did they show off anything else after Hyrule Warriors?

I think that Rums Gif has Sony and Microsoft the wrong way round!

As for the length it was definitely too short, where are all the 3DS games? Other than Smash and Pokemon I don't think there's anything other than eShop games coming. The posts on this forum definitely reflect that too. A Pokemon remake and a delay on Smash 3DS does not fill me with hope for a console that is supposedly doing well.

Coming later, as far as I understand. I'll agree that they could have done with more of the 3DS stuff, but that's a really negative spin to put on what was a pretty positive conference!

Mas' vote this year is going to be an odd one. If it's a vote for the best conference, I think that Ninty might struggle (although I'd still award them top billing. Reggie vs. Iwata, you guys!). If it's a vote for best overall E3, given the Treehouse thing, they'd win hands down.

I think the gif is right in more genreal Andy,  Sony doing so well then just went of the cliff.  

They Mario Maker,  Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon etc hopefully 3DS soon still got one game to come for it definitely.

You can vote Nintendo,  I added two categories best indie and biggest surprise.

Will put mine up the end of the week just in case Nintendo shows something great in the two treehouses.

Surprised that Mas hasn't mentioned this, seeing as ZELDA WILLIAMS TWEETED HIM AND ALL. MM3D confirmed? (Please don't let that be the big 3DS game. )

A bit of wishful thinking there, we really don't need another Zelda remake. (we really really really don't)

NDE / Treehouse Day 1 / Smash fest is now archived at Twitch. All 10 hours of it. Starts 45 minutes in.

I'd be more than happy with a 3DS MM. I've never finished it on N64, so hopefully this will spur me on as with OoT.

So is this briefing later basically another direct for 3DS? Cool.

Yesterday's Treehouse was better if I'm honest.  Churlish to quibble though.

EDIT: Partly because it didn't have "Audrey".

I'm watching it now & I hate her already.

Well does it need the games as it's doing well unlike the Wii U also we got Pokemon, Smash, Monster Hunter 4, Fantasy Life and Code Name: steam, eShop including SMTIV shown at E3 for the 3DS.

Does it need games? Yes... It's a bloody games console! They've all been shown since but did any other than Pokemon get a look in during the digital event? I don't remember seeing them. There was also nothing we didn't know about before, I'd like some surprise on my 3DS (and yes Steam is a bit of a surprise but it was a day later and there was no video).

But the Wii U needs a push that's why that was 98% of the direct.

Also STEAM will be shown today Andy, Nintendo said 3 days of stuff and have spread it all out over those 3 days and done it very well.

Also 3DS has coming (according to Amazon UK) and here's what IGN has down which includes eShop.

Aug
LEGO Ninjago Nindroids
Sep
Fantasy Life
FIFA 15
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call
Oct
Smash Bros 3DS
Nov
Pokemon AlphaSapphire / OmegaRuby

Also read lasts year's thread page 7, I think the 3DS turned out okay last year didn't it.

All I'm saying is I'd like to see a bit more coming for 3DS, just because it's doing well doesn't mean I don't want a stream of good games coming. Aside from a few you've just mentioned what else is coming? I know Nintendo don't tend to announce long in advance but it just seems a bit sparse. I'm sure there will be plenty of eShop content to back it up I'd just like to know what else is in the pipeline.

That's another reason why I'm Pro Nintendo should have one system so there wouldn't be sparse time like you said.

It'd be even more sparse than it is now.
