Wonder how many of those “excitement preparedness kits” went unopened.

Oh and I thought for sure it would be Capcom.
Of course, Nintendo had the most viewers.

By the metric of the greater than, less than symbols when comparing two numbers.

Nintendo cult is as strong as ever. You should only see Twitter trending after their shit is announced. It is truly bizarro phenomenon that company with by far least effort gets most attention.

There were like 2 cgi trailers. 'In Engine', and 'Alpha game footage' etc isnt cgi.
Anyway please dont start console warring in here. Nintendo are the kings at the moment, why wouldnt they be on 'top'?

I wouldn't be too surprised to see that the rumoured Switch Pro brought in people who wouldn't have bothered usually.
They did have a couple of projects that I was interested in though although I didn;t watch the live thing, I watched trailers later on.

I got my SMTV and BotW 2 news, I’m happy what I got, better than most other conference in my opinion.

Metroid looks cheap, I'm sorry. Bland and uninspired 3d artstyle with barely any personality. Nintendo has the money and talent to make it look way better, especially since it is a full price game.

I'm getting tired of the hyperbolic but I'll say it again, good gameplay helps filling out the rough edges. Don't bother contemplating though when everything is awful.

I missed the Cruis'n bit. Is the game not a port of that arcade game that came out 2 or 3 years ago?, because that game looked pretty sweet.

I can understand that, but what a severe lack of surprises and fun. And all the filler garbage with old Multiplatform ports.
Some ideas:
-a new virtual Console
-new Mario Kart
-BotW 2 release date
-better Zelda celebration for Switch other than a $60 port of their least liked game
-revival of an old franchise (F-Zero, WaveRace, 1080, etc)
-earthbound collection
We already knew the new Zelda would be there. 2022? Whenever they announce a release date this far out for a Zelda, you can be at least 90% sure it will be delayed. Hard to be hyped for that

None of the E3s this year were anything crazy hype and exciting but compare to others and based my taste in games, Nintendo by far was the most exciting one.

Pretty much this for me. I am a huge SMT fan so it wins by default. But BotW trailer was icing on the cake.

You got me on that one. I really wasn’t crazy with what I saw of Metroid in terms of art style. Looked ugly compared to the beautiful metroidvanias we’ve gotten recently (Hollow Knight, Ori). Wish they went with 2D.
Hope I’m wrong but I’m guessing it will be $60.
As for advance wars, I may check it out.

Same for me as well. I nerded out at the JPN SMTV trailer. So much good stuff to play on the Switch/PS4/PS5 this year and next.

In Engine, Alpha, CGI....doesn't matter. They barely showed any gameplay. That is the point.

I think it's because everyone literally wanted them to save E3. So they turned in to witness it.
It's all subjective, but I think Nintendo's was still really good. But I loved Microsoft's the most personally because there were SO many games and hardly any talking. Just nonstop games, and a lot of them.

It was the most viewed Xbox E3 ever, bigger than the 360 days.

Everytime this comes up I get reminded that Metroid hardly sales anything. Like 1-2 Million at best.
Nintendo generally doesn't fund costly projects if outcome is unclear.
Personally, Metroid 4 that is still in the works should be the AA one.

They literally never said that, they said it was their most viewed E3, so compared to previous Xbox E3s.But i thought Xbox had won the most viewers at E3???

Moderated wildly
Nintendo are currently number one by a long shot and i assume a lot of people tuned in to see the switch pro and breath of the wild 2, beyonetta and Metroid prime. There’s a ton of reasons to watch Nintendo’s directs …they just don’t seem to be showing the stuff fans like myself want to see.
it was still a very much solid show and I’ll be picking up quite a few games.

Where is the wow factor? People wantes WOW factor, right?
Average conference. Zelda looked like a DLC, barely any visual difference. Just can't get excited for 720p looking games. Looks worse than craig graphics lol.
Metroid by a western dev Mercury studio which are not that great of a studio. We will see how it goes lol.
As far as Viewership goes then Nintendo is older and more popular brand world and it connects to gamers of all ages, so higher viewership.

it didn’t translated well into the media! All they wrote was how it was the most viewed overall and the “best”

Guys ... Everyone with a switch has as much a chance of watching it as anyone with an Xbox has of watching Xbox. Just think about it. It's got fuck all to do with how much people like Xbox, it's just numbers.
Personally, I watch Nintendo because they're a steady hand at the wheel, they can be relied upon to produce fun games. It's simple as that.

They operate at their own pace. Why? Because they can. They had big Horizon blowout just prior to E3 and chances are there’ll be another SoP soon (at least rumors are swirling). They have outgrown E3, so to say.Least effort lol, Sony didn’t even show up

Agreed
SMT V and Advance Wars 1 + 2 Remake are the ones I'm looking forward to getting this year the most
