You guys who were disappointed because they didn't show SMTV, Bayo 3, Retro's imaginary title, and Prime 4 (rofl), have nobody to blame but yourselves. Actually delusional

It kinda was, I saw someone teasing it on Twitter in the hour before the Direct but decided not to share it here.
Absolutely. These long stage shows are tiresome. Forty minutes is about perfect for this type of thing.
And the next one will have more games that I care about personally, I'm sure, so it's all good. It was nice to see actual gameplay in these things!
Hated Smash. It's just being sold to the highest bidder now, makes sense that Sakurai even said he wasn't picking anymore. It's not for me anymore.
LOVED everything else. Fantastic Direct with lots of surprises and good games, also a great pacing. SHame AC was delayed, but I had no money for it anyway. lol Can't wait for Astral Chain.

Never thought i would say this, est show this whole E3. Nintendo blew it out of the water! More excited about Nintendo games than MS or Sony's output.
As someone who has never actually played a Dragon Quest game, also psyched to play DQXI.
Trials of Mana looks...fine as well.
Does the Mana Collection include Seiken Densetsu 3?

And like 80% of what they showed.
Sorry they didn't show whatever longshot-prediction game you were obviously hoping for though.
On the positive, animal crossing looks beautiful. However, I am a little scared of how this game is going to turn out. I know I should be grateful, but I feel like the series took a turn towards what I fear out of animal crossing. I mean I love that you can place furniture outside and how the town looks bigger. But, the crafting idea scares me. I don't know. I was hoping for more of New Leaf. I will definitely buy it and wait until more is revealed before giving my final judgement about it. The crafting scares me since I feel like none of the other NPC's will be around. I also was wrong about it being delayed. I will acknowledge that. Tell me what y'all think.
Seriously, it's so bad.
Reading slow-ass "takes hail dmg" text and the HP dropping a bit after that (not while the text gets written already) has me rolling my eyes. This shit is SO dated.
I think Nintendo "won" E3, but just because all the other presentations were really really poor.
The pacing was excellent, but Animal Crossing delayed, nothing from Retro, and for me subjectively no Ace Attorney.
My first ever dvd was the Dark Crystal, so that was nice to see. :)
It's also nice to see some footage from the new Zelda, but it's not even close to release.
Not impressed with this E3 at all, but Nintend did okay. :)

But they didn't show Monolithsoft's new game either!
Or Pikmin
Or Metroid Prime Trilogy
Although I can't complain. The Direct was packed with great stuff. They can say one of these big reveals (not Prime 4 lol) for the Game Awards
That was actually a very good selection / showcase of games, for the most part, I think each game-centric showcase didn't exceed more than two minutes. Shame not much of them were of my tastes though. That's okay.
So I guess Retro really were working on their BBQ their whole time. That's nice, but man, I was really hoping for them to havea 3D Donkey Kong anything in the oven prior to them picking up the pieces of Metroid Prime 4's production. Guess we won't be hearing of them until the mid-2020s then. Hate to admit it, but I'm honestly disappointed with that.
There are some positive notes though, IMO.
- Bowser / Doug Bowser mixup joke was cute.
- Wasn't expecting NMH3 to be confirmed in development. Same with the BotW sequel.
- Not into the series, but I imagine Dragon Quest finally getting into Smash must had been really exciting. So I'm kinda happy for those fans.
And speaking of Smash...
- I'll admit it right now: even with all of the teases and the rumors, I did not believe Banjo-Kazooie would actually make it to Smash. So seeing that finally delivered was very satisfying.
That trailer with them with the DKC characters (and the Duck Hunt fakeout, much like the K. Rool reveal) was also fantastic. (Same with K. Rool falling into the ground with an impact hole and then getting covered by a rock, Gruntilda style.)

Great direct, best in a long while. I was actually interested in nearly every game shown for once. Trailer after trailer with no downtime.
LOL at the usual people "Nintendo didn't announce that one thing I want that I was sure they were making but maybe even aren't so i hate everything"
I'm definitely a bit bummed about AC missing 2019, but there are like 10 games crammed into September that will keep me busy. Highlights for me were LM3, NMH3(YESSS!), Panzer Dragoon, Switcher3, and Astrael Chains (which looks 100x better and more insane than the first reveal). Pretty happy with getting ports of Alien Isolation, Sinking City. Dark vibes on the BOTW sequel are fantastic, I bet its sooner than people expect (late 2020).
Only game I was surprised we didn't see was Bayo3. Were they still claiming that's a 2019 title? Pokemon standing alone for the holiday lineup does seem a little suspect, maybe we'll get another surprise announcement at some point.

Kinda been a bum E3 for everyone. For Xbox/Sony/Ubisoft/Bethesda it seems more of an expected skip year. For Nintendo it still has the heavy hitter in Pokemon but as great as the new stuff for Animal Crossing (Which looks incredible) a little sad its now 2020, but I will get over that. Then the rest looks good but not great.
Obviously excited for the Zelda though, the little clip was cool but the music was phenomenal .
I would put E3 as Xbox winning in my book followed by Nintendo. Nintendo showed more cool stuff over Xbox but I was really happy with all the Gamepass announcement titles. Stoked CrossCode will be on there Day 1
My Switch is sitting well behind other consoles in 5th for play time this year and this direct didnt help! I have played the Wii more than the Switch this year
So far..
PS4 - 250 (A lot of Red Dead/EDF 5 brought that up though)
3DS XL - 110ish
Xbox One -72
Wii (36 hours)
Vita - 33
Switch - 10 hours total :(
That being said, this has to be one of the best periods of times for video games as there is so many quality games on all consoles .
Edit Year 1 Switch (Which wasn't even a full year) was almost 600 hours for comparison.

yup. this is a classic swerve if i have ever seen it.
the way the trailer was edited was a ton of different shots mixed together from that intro sequence. the creepy hand we see might even be link's possessed hand reaching out to Zelda for the final time
Oh my god!
He's so cute I need him in my life.
well I guess I'm buying a second amiibo
The Sinking City from Frogwares; that's the company that's done a ton of Sherlock Holmes games.
Yup. I thought it was great.
The disappointing thing I referred to was the Animal Crossing date. But that's not a big deal.
New Smash DLC and BOTW2 sequel are the highlights for me.
Totally agree. They found the perfect middle ground to appease everyone. I hope this is the new standard going forward.
Monolith, Trilogy, Pikmin are pretty fair game, which is why I didn't include those. I'm just talking about games that are either a waaaays off development or non existent. People should have never set themselves up for disappointment like that
