after about a decade, this one really feels like an e3 where nintendo's going to really bring it.
-years of videos instead of conferences no longer feels like nintendo 'gave up', and state of play helps normalize them too
-sony is not in attendance
-microsoft and nintendo are buddy-buddy these days anyway so there's really not much on the competition side of things
-xb1 and ps4 are winding down, and nothing to show yet for the xb4 or ps5.
-nsw is basically hitting its stride in 2019 and 2020
2010 was the last mega e3 from them, with a new zelda, donkey kong (eh), goldeneye. ds was still around and 3ds seemed like it was going to be rad. 2017 was pretty good, and mostly a surprise to see the company fighting back from its poor status of more than half a decade. all the others were generally okay or... less than that.
