Nintendo E3 Site Opens: E3 Direct one hour long. Teases some games.

Also, please put a little more effort into this Direct. I love Nintendo Directs and its quirky style, but at E3 I expect a little more show than just a stiff Japanese guy talking in front of a white background.
A 1 hour Nintendo Direct is very good.
Don't forget Nintendo Directs can & will happen multiply times a year. At E3 they will show a lot of stuff, for sure, but I also expect a steady stream of awesome NDs throughout the rest of the year.
I also believe there will be a separate Nintendo Direct for the 3DS some days later.

They showed a significant amount at the previous direct, which should pave way for new announcements at this one.
Moreover, we can see footage of these two games through demos that come out during E3 and interviews, so I'd rather have new announcements made and shown.

Directs aren't live, so it's totally possible to make it exactly 60 minutes.
I agree with this, Nintendo Direct E3 needs to have an exciting environment, they should either be in a big room or make the background very hype E3 worthy.
You mean like this one that just one showed up for me right now?!
Don't do this to yourself lol.
If they had a separate show for 3DS last year, I assume they will do the same this year.
Nintendo's conferences have usually been a little over an hour long, so this is not too surprising.
1 hour is always when Nintendo conferences are, some people may think a longer direct means more megatons but it doesn't always mean that, it can mean longer demo play through, more talking, and stuff we really don't care about.
Well maybe for Pikmin, but we still know next to nothing about W101. That one will probably appear.

Duuude. Why!?

Well, It would be strange if they went with that direction because I'm sure that they would like to demonstrating connectivity between Smash Wii U and Smash 3DS if they manage.
I know that, but I seriously doubt that they would try to fill out something to get perfect 60:00 minutes

Look I am really looking forward to pikmin and w101 but we just saw those games at the last direct. I thought this was about games after summer. I hope I'm not disappointed.
... and please don't spend 4 minutes explaining the history of each franchise before a 30 second clip of gameplay.
Glad to hear it. Initially I was concerned about the hour, given all the first party titles we already know of. Can't imagine too much more being squeezed in after those, but who knows, they've done more with less time and I always leave a nitendo direct feeling pretty satisfied. I'm excited
If hope they don't talk more than just a few minutes about their summer line-up. Otherwise what was the point of last week's Direct?
Iwata will tell you 10 minutes about the history of the Smash Bros series, before showing you three small screenshots of the new game. And you'll like it.

To hype?
Take away the "Gamers love us! Sales sales sales! Unprecedented partnership!" stuff and you're left with an hour of concentrated game reveals and previews. That's why they're not doing a press conference this year. So they can do separate events for different audiences. This one's for consumers.
It's Mario & Luigi Dream Team.
This one looks like old Mario. It's definitely not the newer style.

BY2K I think you should put this link in and make sure people know that, that is the E3 Site and this is the Direct site, they are completely different from each other.

I feel for you. Damn. Good luck on rescheduling.

Hmmmm. Those silhouettes do little to excite me for this Direct, but I guess we'll just have to see. There need to be surprises there, and not the little kind either. This show needs to wow everyone, or Nintendo is gonna have a tough time getting any attention this E3.
Also, having only 4 games at Best Buys seems kinda lame. Guess it'll be Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, NSLU, and Wind Waker/Mario Galaxy 3? I mean, don't get me wrong, this is a cool effort, but I am getting tired of those games already, and they haven't even come out!

Maybe I'm just feeling cranky from too many late, late nights Monster Hunting

Pleaaase, Nintendo, don't spend too much time showing what we already have seen (Pikmin and W101). I want to believe that X will be shown again, I need to start working on my hype.
Btw, first post on neogaf.

Where did you hear about 4 games at Best Buy?
I actually like the format. The games are the main attraction, not Usher dancing or anything like that. But I wouldn't mind an non specific action hero skit or something like that. On second thought the direct is only an hour so I would mind that.

This is so weird, they make it sound so much like a press conference you wonder why they just dont do one.
Lol. Nintendo were too lazy to make a new site ?
Nintendo bought a time machine, we will relive E3 2012 over and over again!

I'm skeptical. I foresee ten minute presentations on how Animal Crossing and Pikmin work. In tedious detail.
Because they won't talk about sales chart or partnership, just games.
There is a press conference for the press for that.
