Board 8 > E3 2017 - Nintendo Spotlight + Treehouse Live (12:00 PM EST / 9:00 AM PST)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Most of the press conferences up to this point have been somewhat disappointing, other than a better than expected showing from Ubisoft and Microsoft. Microsoft's somewhat good showing this year is mostly a moot point when most of the site isn't even on board with the Xbox One yet. While Sony looked rather disappointing this year. Nintendo is the last line of defense to salvage E3 this year. With the launch of the Switch earlier this year, Nintendo will look to bring in solid reinforcements to maintain the Switch's momentum after the system launched with much better than expected sales figures. The future of the next several months for Nintendo should not be based solely on the Nintendo Spotlight presentation, as more information about upcoming games may be revealed during the Treehouse Live streams.

Treehouse Live on Day 1 will start immediately after the Nintendo Spotlight presentation, while Day 2 and Day 3 of Treehouse Live begins at 1:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM PST on June 14th/15th. Let's get the hype rolling for Nintendo.

I provided 2 different Twitch links as some people aren't interested in reading the chat. The first Twitch link has no chat, so you should use the second Twitch link if you actually want to read people's reactions. If there are any other notable links that I missed, post them in this topic and I'll edit this post to include them.


Can't watch the live stream right now? We got you covered with some live blog links below:

Can't find any other notable live blog links after doing a Google search, so you're stuck with that one. If you find any other options, post them in here.

It's the only presentation I'm hyped for!
---

the term MAXIMUM OVERHYPE will finally apply for real
---

Not expecting to see much of anything hype worthy, but we'll see. I'm not even sure what would sell me on a Switch

Hopefully Nintendo can save this awful E3

I imagine once the next mainline Pokemon games finally appear on the Switch, you'll be getting onboard with the Switch. However, that is at least 2 years away and maybe even longer than that.
---

That's definitely possible. I still like Pokemon even though I've barely played Sun/Moon. I didn't even do the post-game stuff yet. By the time Pokemon is out the Switch might have some decent stuff. I'm not really going to get hyped over a Smash port or anything though

ready to get donk'd on

I shall tune in. Not exactly the board's biggest Nintendo fan, but I still kinda like them.

You mean every time I've introduced you as "Jeff Zero, noted Nintendo fanboy" I've been wrong?
---

I'm afraid so, Shad. But there's still time to strike out all mention of Nintendo fanboyism and replace it with Daisy Ridley.
---

So, this is 25 minutes long but will apparently be in a rapid-fire format, and the first hour of the Treehouse will have new stuff as well.

That eases my fears!

Also mainly focusing on 2017 games. Likely still some 2018 stuff though.

That's unfortunate because it's likely that neither of them will be in SSB4 Deluxe.

BOOO SSB Deluxe.

BOOOOOO

who would boo something so wonderful

Less than an Hour until we find out if Samus is doomed to join Captain Falcon as "Smash Bros. Character".

BOOO SSB Deluxe.

BOOOOOO

SSB4 Deluxe is a great idea and would introduce the game to people who never played the Wii U version. The game turned out to be not as strong in the Games Contest as you might expect considering it's even more well-liked than Brawl, so it's nice to see the game won't be shackled anymore by being limited to Wii U (and the inferior 3DS version).
---

That's what most important. How will future game releases affect Contests?

I lol'd.

SSB Wii U is great indeed.

I'm sure it's a good game, but allowing that game to unlock its full strength potential in a future Games Contest is well worth having it ported to the Switch.
---

I saw a Switch at Wal-Mart this weekend and felt that special Nintendo fanboy urge to pick it up despite already owning and beating its only two games I care about.

As always, through disappointments and lackluster announcements, when it's Nintendo at E3...

My body is ready.

Giant Bomb is live

Nintendo's actual stream is live

It's just gonna be shackled by being limited to those two AND the Switch. Being on the GameCube or Wii >>> being on every console for the rest of time since.

Maximum taggage. Sell me on the Switch!

woah I totally got timezone screwed somehow into thinking this would be 12 hours from now not realizing that would be midnight

welp gotta stay up a bit then, headache be damned

Japan is screwing with your head, it seems.

Did it end already?

Link's not working
---

Indeed, but I've been pretty fine with keeping track of the time differences back home these last 8-9 months!

Although I really haven't been paying attention to E3 this year so I guess that's the problem.
---

Bill Trinen has been out on Twitter emphasizing this is holiday 2017 stuff so I wonder if they'd even have anything 2018
---

VC or bust.

I'd feel confident betting there will be 2018 stuff

due to delays announced later in the year
---

if you're a fan of conferences as a form of entertainment and narrative this E3 has been low-key all around, and that likely continues here. I don't think it's been a disappointment, however. before E3 I made a list of 10 games releasing in the near future I'd like to see more of, and at the end of today I'll have seen 9 of them and been impressed by them all for the most part. that's a nice return
---

I haven't really seen anything so far that's gotten me Excited About Video Games for the second half of the year and beyond

maybe it's just coming down off the first half of the year. maybe I just hate video games now.

I really thought this E3 would have been better than this considering that 2017 has been an AMAZING YEAR for video game releases so far, so I assumed E3 would probably give us an excellent line-up of late 2017 game announcements.
---

all the new stuff announced I've been excited for has all been "Early 2018"

Early 20XX is the new holiday

except Wolfenstein II

As much as I want to play Breath of the Wild and buy a Switch just for that, they need to announce Metroid or they're not getting my money.
