They seriously teased us all with a damn number 4 last year and can't even follow that up with ANYTHING???

Eh, I'm not concerned. They have a different cadence with news releases now, and they specifically said they wanted E3 to focus on 2018 games. That was the plan.

Whether or not it is 1) Strategic or 2) Convenient, they didn't lie to anyone. And, since it's been 4 years since Smash, AND Smash is one of their most properties, AND it's releasing this year....that's big news for Nintendo fans.

They talked Fire Emblem and a few small 2019 releases because they are more niche. Pokemon, Metroid, Animal Crossing, and anything like that would overshadow SSB, or at least make it share the limelight. Getting Snake back, along with all other characters, is actually pretty big news.

I think the only big misses were probably the lack of news on Yoshi and the lack of news on Retro's rumored game. Now we still don't know if the Starfox rumors are true or not.

It was a good presentation, not fantastic, but I bet one of AC, Metroid, Pokemon or Retro Game gets a direct in the early fall.
