Watching the EA conference made me appreciate the Nintendo Direct format. As much as I find sad that the onstage presentations are dying, the Nintendo Direct format is so much appealing compared to them. 1 hour 20 minutes of conference where they showed 2 minutes of gameplay followed by 10-15 minutes of people talking about stuff I don't really care. I just care about the games and the gameplay, can't you leave that stuff for later? EA conference sure was boring.
Meanwhile, Nintendo Directs normally are quick trailers, lots of games, and if they stop to talk about a game, they do it referencing whatever is being shown, not just having it running in the back. It's really entertaining and I'm definitely looking forward to Nintendo's E3 Direct.
Either way, I'll try watching Microsoft, Ubisoft, Square, Sony and Nintendo. For Microsoft I don't expect anything. For Ubisoft I'm always hoping for a new Rayman but I feel it's never happening. Square for KH3. Sony does have a couple interesting games, but I'm looking forward to third party stuff they might show (DMC5 hype!), even though I'll have to wake up at 3AM to watch it. And Nintendo... Do I even need to say why it's going to be hype?
I hope I have enough time to watch everything, high hopes for this E3.
