E3 2014 | Nintendo Treehouse Live @ E3 [ it's over :( ]
- Thread starter DaBoss
- Start date
Damn good job by the Treehouse this year showing off stuff. I couldn't tune out no matter what; they were all pretty charming. They all sounded pretty sincere although I have to admit Audrey's laugh made me cringe. Other than that, it was nice to see Reggie drop by from time to time and get some thoughts from him. I'm totally sold on Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Nintendo did a smart move by getting a bunch of 20 of somethings talking about games so it was nice to finally see the rest of the Treehouse staff other than Bill Trinen and Nate Bihldorf who always get interviewed. Definitely would download a podcast of a couple of them talking about games and translation work but I doubt Nintendo is going to let them out and play until next year.

I think it's kind of reached critical mass. It almost seemed like gaming as a whole kind of did a WTF and saw how much fun Nintendo was having. I don't want to put out the wrong impression because I enjoy violent games too. However it is out of control lately. Another heartwarming moment this E3 was the reaction of the theater I was in when Little Big Planet was announced, it was by far the best reaction of the night.

Thank you very much!
Okay, done adding timestamp links. It will take you to the segments on Twitch's archive. Unfortunately it isn't available all of the time and I will replace them with Nintendo's YouTube links when it becomes available.
Thanks, will add them to the OP.
Actually I tried it and it's only a part of the thing ;_; Sorry ;_;
I always fall for that.
(~700mb seemed a bit small for 10h)
Download programs like Jdownloader can easily grab all the parts, but it's like 13GB per day.
EDIT: ^ Nooo stahp sorry agh, extreme posting at 4AM syndrome-

It's so sad to see this end. They made this the most memorable E3 I've ever experienced. Watching them having fun and just talking naturally with each other was so entertaining. I hope they at least record themselves playing games every once in a while in this more relaxed setting than the usual Nintendo Minute because I'm going to missall of them and the next E3 is too far away.
Oh jesus, thanks for the heads up lol.

good call.
Oh man this is awesome!
I took the week off as I had acumulated too many days and this was e3 week I tough I could watch the conferences but could not stand those awkard moments on the live Sony and MS conferences, diametrically oposed to the authenticity of the treehouse, today when they were playing Smash on WiiU, one free for all after another, bickering, joking and cursing live, you could see the really enjoy gaming.
I had planned to organize my workshop as it was a mess and this treehouse delayed me by at least two days. If they announce something similar next year might take the entire week again,
Without the treehouse I wouldnt be tempted to buy almost all the games they showcased
The best moment however was the Moon moment in Hyrule Warriors, watching that live was priceless and basically sold me the game

Nope just a normal day at Nintendo.

Thanks for this Nintendo. You've set a new precedent, and it's something that only a few companies could even do in the first place. From last year's E3 Direct to the Digital Event...what an evolution.
It's been good gaf!
It's been good gaf!
For sure, me too. But, at that moment in the Assassin's Creed demo when they zoom out to show the guy's bloodied head on a pike, I was like "I need more joy in my life". Thanks, Nintendo for making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Sad thing is they expected the people cheer and applaud at that scene, but I could feel people awkardness when that Demo ended

Nintendo... man, this was great, never change (or... change some stuff slightly, but you get the point). It's going to be a sad day if they ever have to leave this business. I'll quit gaming for fucking ever.

I said it before I'll say it again, fantastic work Nintendo.
This is the first time I've actually felt like I was there. The in-depth videos helped me understand every game they were showing off so much more than a regular random article written on website in previous years had. It felt like I was standing there and they were just demonstrating it just to me lol.
Sooooo good.
Usually I just watch the press conferences and they're really exciting then E3 might as well be over, this year its actually felt like a thing that was going on where I could be 'involved'. Even enjoyed watching the Smash tournament, something I hadn't really experienced before (esports) - they've really hit it out of the park with the fan interaction stuff. Like they've almost learned to listen/pay attention to us!
So well done Nintendo and well done to the fantastic Treehouse staff/presenters (seriously, never once felt uh huh you just get paid to pretend when listening to them) for such great work. Cut out the unnecessary middle men and give me what I want - info on cool videogames in informative and often enjoyably entertaining ways.
Wouldn't be surprised if everyone starts doing this. Of course its Nintendo that remind us - lets all just have a lot more fun with gaming! Can't wait for next years show!

i'm finding that more than simply catering to an audience, that publishers seem to now be pandering to them. watching the sony conference was like watching some sort of fanservice game where you have to rub half-naked girls to boost their stats. lily bergamo turning into let it die, and then also getting lost in the mix just seemed emblematic of that. meaning, i would think that a new exclusive title in which they care to name drop some guy would have a bigger impact, but instead it was just one of many grimdark games revealed in a row.
it was a real breath of fresh air when lbp3 was announced (and i thought it played wonderfully in the demo i had a shot at). the dead island 2 trailer, while completely unnecessary, was funny and bucked the trend of almost the entire conference. the same was sort of true of that whole fake letters segment, where grim fandango was revealed, but the execution of all that came across as self-congratulating.
and then they end the conference on fucking uncharted 4- a game they revealed last year and they don't even do a great job at it. people can spend time discussing the plot details or the look of the game, but what i saw was this drab, depressing look at the fifth game in a series that's seven years old. if there was any energy after the shitshow that was the powers reveal, it was sucked out of me right there.
and it didn't have to be that way! there are other things coming out! they could have shown more colorful titles, more japanese titles. what if they'd taken time to show off persona 5, or danganronpa 2, or final fantasy type-0?! these are things they actually have that are coming out i do not understand the fucking pandering to one audience.
microsoft on the other hand, hit more of a balancing act- and they have less systems, so they seemed genuinely interested in seeking a variety of games. there's the dark monster game in evolve, and your shooter game in cauladoody, but fuck they showed off a genuinely bright and passionate sunset overdrive, creative stuff like project spark, a new japanese ip in scalebound, and brought back phantom dust. just in the perception game, i felt like sony doesn't care about seeking a variety of tastes- just those who want to play artsy or gruesome film games, and it doesn't have to be that way.
back to nintendo, i also felt they had variety, but it obviously starts on a different scale. i guess devil's third and bayonetta count as their really dark/gruesome games, but there's a lot of middle ground between those and the light family stuff (kirby, yoshi), in smash bros., zelda, hyrule warriors, splatoon and xenoblade chronicles x. not all of those things will be games i'll buy (looking your way, yoshi), but there's definitely a breadth there that was missing elsewhere.

Just got back home. Hate I couldn't remain till the end. I left out during the Devil's Third MP customization. What did I miss?
That's so cool!
Thanks.
Edit : lol the cheering when Pacman is revealed xD
Nothing.
They played Smash bross and a little bit Wii sport.
That's it.
Nintendo, you totally owned E3 this year! This new format of doing a Digital Event complemented with 3 full days of Nintendo Treehouse stream was just the best idea ever. I personally hope they use this format again on E3 2015. Press Conferences? Pfff that's a thing of the past. Digital Events with full coverage streams is the future!
The only downside of all of this tough... The absence of Mr. Iwata. Just imagine all the funny and cool stuff he could have done during the Treehouse stream and random videos like the Filsamech VS Robot Trinen video. I genuinely wish him the best and I hope he is already feeling better of his health issues.

Alright, so again, it's 4AM here and I'm being dumb, so there's probably a better way (the youtube files might be smaller once they're up).
But for now, if you really want to do that, you could download the twitch stuff from these links.
Day 1 (13.28GB) - http://r4dm.com/p/1cfab4550a - 720p ZephyrSonic Youtube ~3.5GB
Day 2 (9.79GB) - http://r4dm.com/p/0676617b6d - 720p ZephyrSonic Youtube ~6.5GB
Day 3 (9.75GB) - http://r4dm.com/p/28ca805af4
Ah the unofficial YT uploads in the OP are smaller didn't see those ~.~

Next slide please.
Are you Jeff Gerstmann in disguise?
Agree with your post as a whole though, sums it up quite nicely.
His absence did suck, I hope he gets well soon. Hopefully he's there next year.

Exactly how I felt. Best E3 since I started paying attention five years ago.I said it before I'll say it again, fantastic work Nintendo.

Any word on the presses reaction to essentially being completely useless when it came to Nintendo stuff this E3? I can;t imagine it was very good. Even the round tables were useless since the Pac-Man trailer was uploaded right afterwards, and S.T.E.A.M. was demoed twice today.

it's over huh
such a great, great addition this year's e3. I cannot stress how well it was pulled off.
good translators, good hosts, good players, and a ton of awesome game play footage. there was some stuff I could really do without (the amount of Splatoon was a little much) but man it was pulled off really well and I want to see more companies do this.
really hoping this returns next year.
