He was at the Mario Maker tourney because the winner posted a photo with him, as for actually at the show? Not sure there.
So here we are, a little over 2 years after launch, and I think things are very strong going into the back half of 2019.
But I want to discuss some of the things we all thought would at least be announced by now that have yet to appear on Switch:
1) SNES, N64, GB, GBA, etc in NES Online form, or any form for 1st party games. So far games from these consoles have been ported for various collections by third party publishers on Switch but none from Nintendo.
2) Enhanced/tailored Wii or Game Cube ports. Or any Wii ports. No Mario Galaxy, No Metroid Prime Trilogy, again only a few ports by third party publishers that we've seen on other platforms
3) Is that it for Wii U ports? Correct me if I'm wrong but NSMBUDX was the last announcement of a Wii U port and that came almost a year ago.
I was told by many in 2017, through 2018, that people no longer had a reason to buy a Wii U because all those games would come to Switch.
Here's some of what's on Wii U but not on Switch:
Super Mario 3D World
Pikmin 3
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Kirby And The Rainbow Curse
Windwaker HD
Twilight Princess HD
Wondeful 101
Fatal Frame 5
Wii Sports Club
Pushmo World
Wii games
Virtual console beyond NES
Folders
It ain't a huge list but it ain't nuthin.
4) Folders. FOLDERS.
5) Themes and badges!! That's just money left on the table.

he is, nintendo posted pics of him on their booth on instagram
Skip to 26:24 though I'm sure it's shown at other times too. I want it!
It was great. You don't need MEGATONS every other announcement. Clearly you know Nintendo doesn't spill all the beans at e3. Consistently worrying or hoping whether they have "more" is a sure practice in wasting time. Of course they do!
It's like, let's not blow your load 30 seconds after starting. Which would be the equivalent of releasing/announcing EVERY single game that all disparate individual fans may want immediately.
Patience, what are we? A little past year 2?
Not really, Nintendo always credits when other teams contribute to games like Monoltih Soft or ND Cube, and Retro hasn't been credited for anything beyond Tropical Freeze. Trilogy is possible of course, but it will be some time before that's made public assuming it exists.
Should i go ahead and buy a Switch or wait until a hardware revision? Super Mario Maker looks awesome, but i feel they will announce new hardware any day now...
I really like this GIF
I couldn´t stop laughing when I saw this
And just like that we got a brand new Direct hype gif.

The best part of this gif is DK's stupid toothless grin. It's hilarious.

I fully acknowledge that a lot of this has to do with my own tastes, but outside of the Breath of the Wild 2 reveal - nothing in that direct appealed to me. I have zero interest in Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion or the Link's Awakening remake. Astral Chain and Marvel UA3 are games that I might have been willing to try after a few years at half price, which obviously won't happen because of Nintendo pricing. Fire Emblem and Pokemon are franchises that I typically look forward to, but so much of what I've seen of Three Houses looks rough, and the recent revelation that not all Pokemon can be imported in Sword/Shield has really killed my interest in that as well.
It's weird to feel myself really starting to lose interest in Nintendo as a whole, when they've been the makers of most of my favourite games for so long.

I've been staying off ERA to digest the Direct and Treehouse on my own terms and wow. This has been Nintendo's best E3 Direct in years. I feel like this Direct had a little something for everybody and I just feel like we are feasting.
I am definitely eating crow about Animal Crossing and its delay. I have been extremely disappointed by what's been shown so far but that's a story for another thread.
I really liked that the Smash DLC fighter reveals were done tastefully and didn't take up an excessive amount of time.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses looks absolutely incredible and the game seems to get better with every trailer. I am in full hype mode for this game. Team Golden Deers!
Mario Maker: I was a little surprised that they didn't reveal a final new game style but I've come to terms that new ones will be added as DLC/updates. I'm also very glad that they listened to feedback and will be adding online co-op with friends in a future update.
Astral Chain continues to look great but I'm actually not completely sold on the gameplay? I need to properly watch the Treehouse footage to form a proper opinion.
The Witcher 3. Oh. My. God. We knew it was coming and yet I was still hollering when it came on. I am just so excited to relive this adventure on the Switch. I cannot wait for this and I hope the release date is revealed soon.
BotW 2. We knew this was coming thanks to King Zell but this footage utterly blew my expectations out of the park. It really does seem like we're getting the darker adventure we have all been asking for. I have watched the trailer multiple times and I still can't get enough. I really hope Zell is right in saying that it's coming in 2020!
Retro Studios: I think it's time to permanently accept that Retro's projects were shelved or cancelled and that we should not expect anything from them other than MP4.

I can only imagine it's Banjo&Kazooie on Switch. Which sort of fits I guess, but still disappointing that it wasn't its own game, and just Smash DLC..
No it's a game and it wasn't possible before. Banjo was once a Nintendo character, remember? It's most likely Halo, many other insiders also supported that theory.
I have completely turned around on two games:
Luigi's Mansion: I thought it looked stale and lifeless from the first trailer. It didn't look very interesting at all. But this direct plus the treehouse footage got me interested. There's so much life in Luigi and the ghosts im falling in love with it. And the game is beautiful
Fire emblem: after fates burned me extremely hard, I was skeptical to say the least. The previous trailers have all looked somewhat dull. I didn't so much mind the school setting but it seemed like they were pulling from fates. But now that the leaks are confirmed basically, and the story is looking pretty intensive, I can't say I'm not excited. I hope the gameplay can match

I understand. I'm only interested in Luigi's Mansion 3 and Link's Awakening for the holiday season. Nothing else 1st party wise interests me. I was looking forward to playing Animal Crossing this year, but I understand that they need more time, and it's totally cool with me.
Does anybody know the story behind this dock? I have never seen it and Nintendo should sell it.
Guys is there a thread around here that lists every announce game and it's respective launch date? I need to accomodate my ideas and my money
Yup. More Directs are on the way with even more games guaranteed. General, indie, title-specific.
I bet you have to pay a fee or have some type of deal with Nintendo to get your game shown during a Direct.
Also, I think DQ is more synonymous with NIntendo's brand than Banjo & Kazooie is, at least worldwide, the reveal was just bland for whatever reason.
The indie directs drop games like cuphrad and cadence of hyrule
That crapcom section was weird. They've been the most disappointing they could have been on switch, borderline disrespecting the machine and its owners, yet Nintendo gives them a significant presence in the direct with a cringing trailer for 2 average at best previous gen games which are probably going to be overpriced anyway. I really don't get it.
Popcorn thoughts:
Smash Character reveals were charming and pleasant, especially Banjo Kazooie
Luigis Mansion, nice but was never keen
Zelda Links Awakening, gorgeous and getting it!
Collection of Mana, nice and might pick this up
Trials of Mana, nice win for the Switch especially if exclusive
Witcher 3, cool nice work...
Fire Emblem, appreciate it but just not for me
RE ports, someone might like this?
No More heroes, happy for Suda 51 dude!
Contra, looks like someone regurgitated!
Daemon X, looks more polished and shows promise
Panzer Dragoon, wow i didnt expect this and it was one of my original "why isnt this on n64" wishes. Getting it!
Astral Chain, poor mans cyberpunk? nah thats too cruel but i do think its cool!
Marvel UA, kinda keen but not...
Animal Crossing, another charmer, but I just dont have time for such titles.
Zelda BotW Sequel, wow I wasnt expecting this but love the darker ominous turn that the game takes! MM next level.
Thanks for reading :)

Trials of Mana isn't exclusive; it's hitting Steam and PS4 as well. Maybe Xbox One?
That'd be a bummer. Nintendo's online doesn't justify its price for me atm as is. No chance I'd pay more for such a shit service just because they add SNES games.
The main things in the Direct that I suppose were "negatives" to me or that I just didn't quite get, were the weird Netflix Dark Crystal thing sandwiched between Luigi's Mansion 3 and Links Awakening (why give it such prominence?), and then that whole Resident Evil segment which just seemed so very much out of place compared to the rest of the content of the Direct (Capcom's dumb idea?)
Other than that it was pretty much nonstop stuff to reveal. Biggest wow for me was Trials of Mana, and then the BotW sequel since while I knew it was coming I didn't think they'd announce it so soon.

The only way I can make sense of this is if Nintendo knows something we don't, as in something "worthy" eventually coming out later down the line from Capcom.
Then again it wouldn't be the first time Nintendo showcase a game from a company that doesn't give them the time of the day (EA cough cough), the difference being that this time with the success of the Switch (as opposed to the WiiU days for example) they shouldn't really have needed to. Maybe someone at Nintendo thinks that any presence of a company is better than no presence. Or maybe Capcom paid them screen time...
I was also thinking that maybe Capcom is sitting on something else that gives them some leverage or whatever, but I feel that if that were the case they should only have given that hypothetical project the extra screen time, and not this portfest.
It's not that I mind ports, mind you. I love the fact that a lot of older games will be available in portable form, but Capcom's way of doing things is utter shit.
What was that, anyway? I thought it was finally Netflix for Switch
Apparently a Dark Crystal series is hitting Netflix sometime this year, and we're getting a tie-in. Guess it's comparable to Stranger Things 3 in that respect.
The simplest explanation is that the Resident Evil ports are some of the few high profile M-rated games on the system and the Direct was meant to show that there's games "for every type of player". When it comes to Capcom, I wouldn't try to read too much into it lest you wanna be disappointed.
Sure but let's say, for argument's sake, it is a new MH game (exclusive or not , doesn't matter). I am not at all convinced something like this is coming, but let's just use that here. So, Capcom absolutely would not want to announce it right now, but Nintendo knows about it, and Capcom come to them "hey buddies, while we're waiting for MH, can you please give these 2 RE games that were never on a Nintendo platform a small push?"
Also true. Plus these two have never been on Nintendo platforms before, and they are actually the highest selling RE games according to Capcom's platinum sellers list.
Maybe, but even then, these ports are standard Capcom fare, and prior to this they seem to have stopped promoting all of Capcom's low-effort ports. What I find curious is that these ports got a live action trailer and all while The Witcher got 45 seconds of simple trailer. The latter game is a much bigger deal, being an actual current-gen game and a highly respected one, at that.
It's possible. Still feels disproportionate with the whole live action bit and the amount of time they gave a game that's already out.
Right - until they showed ReMake gameplay, I thought this was for a RE7 port or a new Revelations.
MH is currently Capcom's best-selling franchise, so I don't think this would be disproportionate if Capcom promised them a Monster Hunter game. It's the biggest thing Capcom could do for the system.
