The funny thing about E3 is everyone I know, even big gamers don't know about E3.
Nintendo ditches main E3 conference, still there with games, press events, N-Direct

Well, yeah. If you want to play Wii U demos, buy a Wii U. Otherwise, the Directs will provide all the announcement-based information you could possily need.

Nintendo being at e3, but replacing their 90 minute conference with a 90 minute Nintendo Direct is your rationale that they'll leave the console business?

Nintendo not even showing up to the fight. Boo
Once again people need to read the damn title of the thread. All of it. It's not hard. It's just a few words.

The fight = who has the best conference
Nintendo having an amazing Nintendo Direct will fight against the E3 Press Conferences, so it is pretty much the same.

It isn't the same. They're bailing out of having an event that can be directly compared to their opposition.
Peopel only care about the quality of the reveals and any megatons,which are as much possible on
Nintendo Directs

He's kidding, guys. He must be.
On the internet, that "buzz" is often negative. Especially for Nintendo. haha.
But, if they have a Direct that streams (like their Directs often do), we will still all be able to watch together at the same time. Whether its pre-recorded or live, we'll all be sharing the info as it comes. It's not going to be secretly uploaded to youtube in the middle of the night. You'll know about it. GAF will crash.

I don't see people dropping $350 just to play demos. Maybe I'm wrong.
I guess some people still aren't seeing what Nintendo is aiming for here. By creating a more intimate experience for the media, they are targeting positive press, and less knee-jerk, misinformed impressions.
As explained in my last post, there's a HUGE difference between an E3 show-floor hands-on, and and E3 closed-door hands-on. The latter, more intimate setting facilitate much more positive impressions/reporting from the media. If Nintendo manages to execute this plan properly, they could walk out of the show in a generally positive light.

No, you're right. I think it was Lost Planet 2 (or maybe Lost Planet 1) and some other games.
No one paid attention because it was E3 week.

If Nintendo had good video games to show, it wouldn't need to be a concern

You can compare anything you know. Comparison is not strictly defined to "It has to be at the same event".
Not just to play demos, but if they are planning to buy it anyway when there are more games (like me), the demos could push them to do it sooner rather than later.

What the fuck are you even talking about?
Nintendoland was good. The way they showed it made it seem god awful. Had they let journalists play it instead and then have them write about it, it would have gotten better press.
You are blatantly ignoring well thought out, reasoned posts so you can continue to try and make this the death of the system.
You add nothing to this thread.

It has been a problem, because most E3s no one cares about Nintendo compared to the competition, especially in the last 2-3 years.

Are you really saying Nintendo has no good games? You're arguments get shittier by the post.
I dont know if I can post a GN link but Nintendo sent a PR e-mail saying 2 E3 Directs on June 11th.
As youve already seen, a lot of news about Nintendo games and services that traditionally would be held until E3 is being delivered this year through Nintendo Directs, and various press events. This approach will continue between now and E3. No matter where you are in the world, youll be fully informed. We look forward to continuing to provide you with Nintendo news and content in ways you havent before experienced. Beyond the news that will be communicated through Nintendo Direct videos in the run up to E3, at the show itself were hosting two smaller events on Tuesday morning before the LACC opens instead of just our traditional one event. A media event and a partner presentation will both occur that morning. While the audiences will be different between the two events, both will occur on the Tuesday morning of E3 (June 11) which is the date and time period the public has come to expect for Nintendo to deliver E3 news.
At the Nokia theater well meet with business partners (retailers, publishers, analysts, etc.) from the NOA territory and discuss our plans for driving the business and providing tailored information that this group finds useful to their operations. Nintendo has done these same type of business meetings at past E3 shows, but has not in the past few years. This year we are returning to that business partner meeting format. New this year at our booth in the LACC, prior to the show opening, well invite a small group of media to play our games. We will have a strong line-up of beloved franchise experiences available for immediate hands-on play. We are continuing to consider exciting new ways to bring the news of our games and information directly to the players at home during the E3 timeframe, and will have more to say about that at a later date.

Honestly, if it means there's less chance of drivel such as the Wii Music display, Cammie Dunnaway nonsense or botched gameplay demos, it's got to be a good thing. Game announcements and trailers exclusively please, thanks.
Edit: Two Directs instead of one live presentation? Sold.

They have good games for their audience. They don't have games that can stand up to direct comparison with Sony and MS's big reveals. Especially this year. Which is why they've quit.

I am talking about people saying that Nintendo releasing demos of the games that are shown during E3 being something that could help sell systems. People that already want the system when certain games come out are going to get it for those games. I am talking about people that need something to generate an interest in the system. Hearing that you can play a demo of a game that was shown may not be enough.
I am guessing Nintendo will advertise the Directs for E3 very well and then show off some great stuff. I just don't think the demo will be enough for an instant purchase at that time. The games will still have to be released in most cases to get people to buy the console.

You speak as if Microsoft and Sony conferences have been amazing, gaffe-free bastions of wonderment and new announcements. They really haven't. Nobody "won" E3 2012, it was mediocrity all round. Don't even get me started on Microsoft!
Because a God of War/Gears of War prequel is tough shit to beat?

I don't give a fuck about how Nintendo goes about talking about new games and system software: just show me some Smash Bros. 4, Mario Kart, Mario 3D, Wind Waker HD, X, Wii Fit U, Yarn Yoshi, Pikmin 3, and Zelda U, and I'll be the happiest fucking person on the planet.
Seriously, who the fuck cares about the big show? Information will get around regardless.

to be fair it is dave your talking to
What are you even talking about ? You want a driving simulator, an couple of fpses and so on from Nintend, just so they can be compared directly to MS and Sony games ?
Ha ha. What?
I remember how much we all cared about Usher and Wonderbook. All three have had weak showings especially in the last 2-3 years. Are you forgetting that Ubisoft had the best conference last year on the back of one game in Watchdogs?
Keep spinning though.

1) I don't like Sony or MS's first party, so this isn't me saying those games are good
2) to the mainstream press, yeah, games on true next gen systems with huge budgets will be seen to completely outclass The New 3D Mario. Even if quality wise I'm sure Mario will end up better than shit like God of War.

The gaming press has been less and less interested in Nintendo's content since Wii came out. This isn't breaking news. It's an enthusiasts industry and the enthusiasts working in the press are far more interested in Sony and MS than Nintendo
Who is saying that?
Can't say I've noticed. All the games that deserve the good review scores and media coverage appear to get it. I think the enthusiasts get more excited about major Nintendo releases than anything, to be fair. Maybe except MGS and Halo.

I'm never afraid of being incorrect. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. I'm a strong, intelligent man who can handle whatever the Internet has to throw at me. I fear nothing and no one.
The events couldn't be directly compared before this decision; the other two will be sharing significant details of their new systems. They can and will be indirectly compared, and that has happened for every E3 previously.
Just to double-check: You are aware that the implicit conclusion of that assertion is that all Nintendo games they show over E3 will be bad, right? Just making sure you're quite clear on what you're stating.
I guess.
But Nintendo are basically isolating themselves from anyone in the industry, publishers, developers and gamers (at least, those who aren't part of the Nintendo brand loyalist camp).
That's the definition of a niche.
Also, based on strictly empirical evidence, I can safely say that Nintendo is continuously losing more and more of their old guard fans.
That means, people who used to like Nintendo but they're getting more and more frustrated by their decisions on both the hardware and the software front.

Have you played any Nintendo games lately? Mascots and shit aside, in terms of content and design they are still very very competitive. And I'm talking 3DS games
