Are there no more Treehouse Live reveals?
Can't remember if last year had a reveal either.
I mean, it just seems like they're scaling back a lot.
The streams used to be longer and there were new showcases as well.
They were still streamlining the process - its probably for the better, because data showed them that a big part of the audience keep checking out when the streams get too long or the same kind of games show up too often.I mean, it just seems like they're scaling back a lot.

I was talking more about the length each day. Pretty sure it finished around 12am or later (4pm LA) at least for the first year.I think it has always been 3 days of Treehouse Live.
Last year was a bit disappointing cause it was Smash most of the time.
This time has been amazing so far, we'll see tomorrow with the indies.
Trials of Mana indeed looks so fantastic. I'm still blown away at getting the original via Collection and a remake, too. What a dream come true for fans.
I have to wonder, though -- how did this happen? How did this remake get greenlit ahead of something like an FFIV, V, VI or Chrono Trigger remake at this level of quality? Those were all assuredly bigger games (commercially, financially, everything-ally), and I imagine would have been surer bets on name recognition alone.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm not complaining at all. This looks AMAZING and I'm so happy it exists. Just wondering how the hell it happened.
The Mana series still has champions/sponsors within the company whereas something like Chrono does not. On top of that it was probably seen as a reasonable idea because they were already going through the process and expense of localizing the original game. As for FF5 and 6 I'm sure it's something they've wanted to do over the years, just not gotten around to for various reasons. Long term I wouldn't be surprised if we see some remakes/sequels for those games you mentioned. I can imagine this game doing well would help the case for it.Trials of Mana indeed looks so fantastic.

The first trailer was good but the second one they showed at this E3 was indeed underselling the game.I really don't get Nintendo sometimes. The Astral Chain trailers all made it look like the game was extremely action-heavy and almost stage-based. The second Treehouse footage now shows this pretty large city segment that is almost hidden in the trailers.Goddamn, they're seriously underselling this game.
I also feel I've noticed that the Treehouse length has shortened this year. Like, they've only been going up to 2-3pm. Where as E3 Expo is open to 6pm I believe? In the past I swear they used to go all the way until the Expo itself closed.
Maybe their employees felt that was too much time and effort

I've to admit it did put me off until I saw the Tree house demo and my hype I had for the first trailer came back :D
Blades. Looking like GOTY
Nintendo twitter reaffirming that tomorrow is solely Indie Day:

I felt at times in the past years that they ended up redoing a lot of stuff and it was pretty repetitive. By Day 3 there was almost no reason to watch the stream since it would basically be a repeat of everything we saw already.Don't know how it compares to last year, but the first couple of years after starting doing Treehouse Live they streamed longer. Used to be lots more repeats of games back then, though.
I concur. I think they used to go up to 4:30 most days, but by day 3 it was essentially repeating the same demos from earlier. It seems like this year they are better at showing different slices of their demoed games. Hopefully the indie day will lead to a few announcements. My personal favorite segment from last year was the DK/Sky Skipper reveal/history lesson. I know that's not indie but would like more stuff like that for tomorrow.I felt at times in the past years that they ended up redoing a lot of stuff and it was pretty repetitive.

I didn't know it was going to be at e3
I hope they show it on Treehouse
Just a bit under, I think. Dark Moon was like 6 million, Switch boost should get another 2-3?Next Level Games moving up in the nintendo dev tier list. Wow. Not that they were ever low.
betting time,
LM3 over or under 10 million LTD
Under for sure. I had Luigi's Mansion 3 selling around 7 million.Next Level Games moving up in the nintendo dev tier list. Wow. Not that they were ever low.

I'm thinking it'll sell 5 millionJust a bit under, I think. Dark Moon was like 6 million, Switch boost should get another 2-3?
Speaking of sales I really hope Link's Awakening outsells ALBW significantly. I need 2D Zelda to stand tall right with 3D Zelda, as Mario does. What are y'all thinking with that one?
Yup, we still didn't saw it. So many mysteries remain yet so close it's release date. I don't want it to bomb like Wonderfull 101 because lack of marketting Q.QYeah, the first trailer was a great introduction to the concept but they really need to emphasize the exploration/RPG elements more. And we still haven't seen the two-player mode, I think.
Celine's thread had ABLW at 3.71mJust a bit under, I think. Dark Moon was like 6 million, Switch boost should get another 2-3?

How did Daemon x Machina look? I saw the improvements it got but how does the co-op look?
I'm not much of a stickler for graphics/framerate but I'd like to know how well the fps held in solo and co-op. Saw some people saying co-op looks rough?I thought it actually looked pretty great! The game looks like it's faster and more responsive than the demo, but obviously it's hard to say without playing. I'm still pretty pumped for it though!
The co-op seemed good, especially when fighting the colossal immortal as a group. There seemed to be legitimate strategic co-operative play, in that everyone had different loadouts that served different purposes, and you needed to coordinate on attacking weakpoints and such.

I see 8 million.I don't see it outselling LM2 by much if at all, honestly. It seems very similar, much more so than LM2 compared with LM1, and the 3DS was already very successful at selling first-party games. I expect it will sell about the same.
Holy shit, I went from being a little hype for it to full on hype train after watching this segment
It looks incredible. I rarely preorder, and I'm so tempted to grab a voucher and lock it in today.

Are Astral Chain, Link's Awakening and DQXI seriously launching in less than one month between them!? NINTENDOOOOO!!!!
And Daemon X Machina, which also seems to be shaping up very nicely. It's basically sent to die.
