Nintendo Direct: E3 2018

Well, that was bizarre.  Fire Emblem looks good, some of the other games look decent and I'm pleased Hollow Knight is out now.  But it feels like Smash Bros took all their budget and they had nothing else to show.  It was very disappointing not to see Metroid Prime 4.

Far too much Smash Bros. They could have had a smash Bros direct for that at another time. E3 not the place to dedicate so much time to one game. 

 

Well, don't say that. Last year they only did Zelda, and that worked out pretty good ;D.

That's literally what they did with Breath of the Wild and no-one complained then.

I can't quite recall - Wasn't there a lot we didn't know about Breath of The Wild back then? This took the piss naming every character and then going through (nearly?) all of them just to say "we've tweaked them a little"

I would of thought this year they would have more to show. Its a year on since the platform released and woukd expect more development than last year.

We don't count.

Oh :(

Anyway, very underwhelming Direct.

What exactly was new?

Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019)
DAEMON X MACHINA
(2019)
Xenoblades Chronicles 2 DLC (September 21st)
Super Mario Party (October 5th)
and a couple of Indies (?)

Am I missing something?

To be fair they did say up front it would have been BoTW only, they didn't really make it clear Smash would have such a large focus in this one.

 

Sakurai is playing, gonna be embarrassing if he loses. :p

They used the trailer music for Great Plateau stage?!

Exactly. Just padded the video as they had nothing else to show.

I'm seriously expecting more announcements within the next few days.

If the abysmal start of the year and these announcements are anything to go by, even Nintendo themselves must realize that their lofty hope of selling 100 million consoles is pretty much dead in the water.

Yes, they did. It was name dropped in the Press Release.
