    Shame. I have a lot of fond memories of watching past E3s, but then again it was only a matter of time after other companies began adopting the Nintendo Direct approach. It just makes more sense to pick your own date for a presentation and dominate the news cycle.

      Yeah for a good decade round my house E3 was like Christmas 2: Electric Boogaloo when it came to counting down for it, watching all the conferences.

      Sad to see it go, but as you said once Nintendo started with the Directs nothing else made sense.

      Yeah, especially the last few years E3 really felt more like fam service than anything else. Doesn’t make much sense from a corporate perspective, huge cost and probably not as much gain to offset it.
