Fair enough, although I think announcing your major titles at one or two big events be the opposite of piecemealing?

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Without knowing precisely what the presentation consists of, would you say its time for Nintendo fans to crack each others' heads open and feast on the goo inside?
The press release pretty clearly says "with a focus" on games launching in 2017. Doesn't count out the odd surprise or concept footage etc.
Also we don't know everything that's going to be launched in 2017, either.

Hoping for some Xenoblade 2 goodness!

Even if Nintendos E3 was only 2017 games you don't know everything coming in 2017 so don't act like you know all the games coming this year.

"With a focus" on 2017 is very important. It's obviously not going to just be 2017 stuff; E3 2015 was "focused on 2015" yet we saw 2016 stuff at that time (FE Fates, #FE, and Federation Force IIRC, and SF0 did slip into 2016 later on).
I imagine we'll at least see something on the new Fire Emblem game for Switch and some other announcements, so don't worry about it too much.

Have to have Xenoblade 2. Its a 2017 game and they aint said otherwise yet. Too late to say its 2018 too since the FY briefing happened and e3 is 30 somethin days.

While I consider FF Mark a great choice of typeface for most things Nintendo Switch, I find this logo very uninspired. Unlike the new Nintendo Direct logo which features a custom cut of FF Mark and an element other than text, this is just plain FF Mark Heavy with what seems to be default kerning (minimal differences).
I find nothing interesting about this logo. There's no flair, no excitement. The Digital Event logo was much better. It was certainly simple but had some color and something going on, it resembled an actual logo and not just plain text.
One can only hope they will provide a good animated sequence featuring the Spotlight logo.
Personally, I love the simplicity. The "Digital Event" logo speaks to a very niche audience whereas this update has much broader appeal. The colour choice and font is also consistent with their branding pivot. It feels very focused, much like the marketing of a company such as Apple or Google.

Is that you, Reggie? NCL still doesn't tell you anything, does it? I bet you find out when the rest of us do.It's scary how close E3 is. I could've swear it was still 6 months away. I don't want time to go this fast
I, for one, am excited.
Finally a good look at Mario Odyssey.
More ARMS play. It's my #1 most wanted upcoming game.
We get to see what else is happening on the Switch this year. I am fine with them focusing on 2017. They need to drive home the fact that games are coming, and they are coming very soon. I have a feeling more games will be revealed for this year than most think.

Out of the games announced for this year, I am most looking forward to seeing XBC2 and SMO at the direct. They look very interesting, being two big single player games in genres I really like, with great credentials to boot. Especially with Monolith Soft helping with, and hopefully learning from, the development of BOTW, I can see these two games in particular be the next big hits quality-wise for Nintendo (big hits as in BOTW level (or a little below) quality).
Ah, sorry I must have completely forgot what piecemealing meant then. Though now I do remember (and Googled just to make sure) I still wouldn't particularly agree because Directs, with the exception of that emergency January 2013 Direct, are only ever really for one or two mid-tier announcements alongside a bunch of small ones. E3 is still a big thing for Nintendo and I've yet to see any real evidence to suggest otherwise.

Sounds disappointing, does that mean no new games since it's only focusing on 2017?

I agree. The e3.nintendo.com site is pretty nice, but the logo seems a little bland. I'm not completely in love with the "Spotlight" name, but I can live with it. I'm wondering if they're going to change the name every couple of years.

They'll show new games.
Lol you guys crack me up.
There are stages when it comes to greaving. First is sadness, anger, denial then acceptance.
I am in the acceptance spot right now. I know not to go in expecting much other than Mario, Indies and maybe a small suprise that won't make waves. And it will all be cringeworthy the entire time.
Can't wait lol.

I'm gonna go and say we'll get a direct before E3, then the spotlight will be stuff shown in the direct.

For those of you that forgot, they also announce a few new titles over the course of the Treehouse Live stream too.
Usually smaller stuff, but still interesting.

What? Why would their E3 Spotlight video presentation solely be focused on previously announced games?
Do people seriously think Nintendo won't be announcing any new games at E3 this year? Is there really any reason to believe this beyond some strange feeling of pessimism? Which doesn't even seem warranted, they've been knocking it out of the park lately.
The reactions in this thread are so very strange.
Smaller titles won't sell the Switch though.

Tbh all my hype has been killed by this 2017 malarkey. Even if they show off one or two titles for 2018 as some people suggest they might it just wouldn't be good enough because we already know pretty much the entire 2017 lineup. So it's basically "hey, here's two maybe interesting games. Now enjoy the stuff we've already shown you." I want surprises or first looks at games we haven't seen before. Not more splatoon and mario.

Well that could be where they announce Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions and I would be happy.
There's a lot more of known 2017 games that we haven't been shown yet. I personally want to see more footage of Fire Emblem Warriors and Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Good thing it's not only 2017.
What makes you think we know the entire 2017 lineup? Seriously, why do so many people think there can be no unannounced games coming this year, even though this happens literally every single year with Nintendo?
There is a difference between being shown and being announced.

And? I'm not talking about sales. I'm pointing out (early) that announcements exist outside of the Direct as well.
I like the occasional blockbuster, but it's not what makes me love Nintendo's output. Mario and Zelda get me to buy their consoles, but stuff like Ever Oasis, Custom Robo, Pikmin, etc are what I end up playing the most.
Mario will though.

You're kidding right
No we don't. How do you know there aren't any unannounced titles?
True.
It's pretty much guaranteed that if they'll be announcing 2018 games it'll probably be only 1 or 2

Hmm I guess Nintendo uses their january Direct for the first half of 2018.
No Retro this E3!

Okay you made me laugh. Please tell me this isn't parody so I can laugh more.

Hopefully!
Pokken Complete, Bayonetta 1&2 HD + Wonderful 101, DK Tropical Freeze + Returns HD, Windwaker + Twilight Princess HD, Fatal Frame V (Finally retail Edition) and Mario 3D World would make fantastic stop-gap titles in between big releases.

Yeah I was referring to Marshadow being the starter in Stars, I have to check sometimes as sanity tends to disappear in these kinds of threads. :L
I think it's a safe bet it'll be the reveal of Marshadow's Z-Move in CoroCoro. Would be cool if it's a Stars-Exclusive form change for him but I don't see it right now.
