Nintendo's E3 2019 Direct is approximately 40 minutes

[vestan]

Previously, there were rumblings from various 'insiders' that the direct would be 45 minutes but now we've got official confirmation from the NicoNicoLive page for the direct that just went up. It's approximately 40 minutes, so around the same as last year's direct. Considering there's no big showcase game this year, I'm hoping it's a lot more evenly spread than last year's direct.

 

[PadWarrior]

39 minutes of Ultimate Alliance 3

 

[AniHawk]

is that going to be enough time to cover all the features in animal crossing?

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Yeah, that sounds like the length of a Nintendo e3.

 

[Neoxon]

Seems like a reasonable amount of time for an E3 Direct.

 

[Xavi]

39 minutes of Fire Emblem! Yaaas

39 minutes outlining the OS update that only has stability improvements.

 

[Ryuelli]

Is Treehouse a thing again this year?

 

[maximumzero]

Thankfully it looks like it won't be mostly one game like it was last year.

 

[Lant_War]

Spend all of it in Animal Crossing.

It should be enough to go over every single villager (only 4 new ones) and collectibles (fish, fossils, bugs, deep sea creatures and new category: corals).

I mean it's better than 2 hours that EA had of just pure garbage talk.

 

[TubaZef]

That's a lot of Animal Crossing

Which game will have more than half of the airplay this time? Make your bets.

Animal crossing....

Please have a release date.

 

[chiayiii]

IIRC, actual running times generally go over the stated limit.

I just need 10 second announcement of Tokyo Mirage Sessions please.

We need to run through each villager and what changes have been made to them from the last game. 40 minutes just isn't long enough.
In all seriousness, I doubt we'll see much more than 5 minutes of AC. Enough to outline what's new, show off some gameplay and give the release date.

Nah, announcing the delay will take two minutes tops.

 

[louisacommie]

twice as long as 2017
twice the announcments

no smashbpatch notes this time smash get a 5 minutes at most.

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.

 

[AgentStrange]

40 minutes of Doomguy Smash gameplay. Glorious.

 

[Shroki]

Every year we talk about how long it is, and every year it's not indicative of much at all.

The things people want to see; the hype dragon they're chasing? Those segments will take like 2 minutes tops.

 

[AniHawk]

Nah, announcing the delay will take two minutes tops.

so if retro studios is going to handle animal crossing now, who's going to work on metroid prime 4?

 

[Ryengeku]

No More Heroes 3
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Astral Chain
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

Let's go.

I thought 2014 was a damn good year. Everything else though, yeah.

40 minutes of Animal Crossing sounds great Nintendo thanks - but if I am being too greedy I'll live with 35 minutes of AC and 5 minutes whatever other people care about

Underrated post.

 

[NeoPancho]

I just hope they will leave any long gameplay explanation to the Treehouse Live and don't waste most of the time with a single game in the Direct!.

 

[Braaier]

Wow! That's long! I'm. Psyched!!!!

 

[SalvaPot]

And we got confirmation of a new Smash character reveal in the invitational, this is going to be DELICIOUS.

Animal Crossing will be that big showcase game.
