So in these final hours I have to ask, what was Nintendo's best and worst E3?

My favorites would either be 2010 or 2017. The 2015 Direct was without a doubt the worst.
I'd say 2017 was the best. They were revealing hype stuff left and right, and just about every popular franchise got something (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Yoshi, Kirby, Pokemon, FE, Xenoblade, Splatoon)

Who would have thought last year that the game with the most gameplay shown at E3 would be goddamn Final Fantasy 7 Remake?
Bloody hell, and Shenmue is right around the corner too.

Not me, that's for sure.

Shenmue 3's got some issues with the PC version being locked to the Epic Games store, which might be illegal since they were promised it on Steam, which breaks the crowdfunding contract or something of the sort.

2015? I’m sorry, did you forget about the mess that was 2008? The big ol’ Wii Music performance? And pretty much no Mario, Zelda, or Metroid, or any other big franchises?

There's been an annoying resurgence of CGI trailers this year. Like Gears 5 basically had a music video.

2017 had a really good balance of franchises and the Odyssey trailer was incredible

2008 was abysmal

The past two years have been incredible for me, I'll probably say 2017 overall since it had all the excitement of a new console around it, plus Metroid's revival, while 2018 was pretty lackluster outside of Smash. Ultimate's reveal was enough to carry 2018 though, and it had the biggest moment of any E3 for me with Ridley's reveal, so it's still a solid 2nd.

2009 and 2013 were also really really good, so shoutouts to them. 2008 and 2015 were by far the worst, 2008 in particular was just a special kind of bad.

Just 1 hour and half until Nintendo Direct!

I think we can sort of leave 2008 as the honor status of worst E3 lol. I do think some will say 2015 was one of the worst as well, runners up also be 2012 E3...

Best to me is 2014 E3,

I'd rather see this as the first thing on my screen.



Then it transitions to 3D, and the rest is history.

So how do you think the direct opens? With or without smash?
if it opens with smash, we might get 2 reveals
if it doesn't open with smash, i doubt we're getting more than the 1

so probably doesn't open with smash

The joke's been made before, but:

They have one chance to do this - don't **** it up, Nintendo

EDIT: Goddamn that percussion still sounds so ****ing good

For the record, quotes add to the embedded media count. Please remove them from your quotes so the pages will load faster. People can just go to the original post as is if they really want to see the media in question.

Also, I was only expecting one character at this point. A second reveal is possible, though.
