I have mixed feelings about their new format. I think it's a good thing, and this year will really surprise us with how much they are involved, but just having that stage presence, a big room and audience is desirable. Probably not as long as Sonys, but yeah, I agree that it's probably around an hour.
Actually, let's do some math.
It says on the official page that the Digital Events starts at 9am PT time. The Treehouse starts streaming their content at 11:35am PT time.
So, are we looking at 2 hours and 35 minutes?? Surely not? I mean, isn't that a bit long for just Nintendo? I wouldn't complain, but the exactness of the Treehouse starting their stream at 11:35 is eye-opening, although everyday it starts at a bizarre interval.
