One point I wish I'd made to really drive this home:

Like I said in the video, imagine what it would be like if this E3 there was almost nothing new announced for Switch, despite being in its second year much like the Wii was in 2008. But also remember that back then, Nintendo Directs didn't exist. 95% of Nintendo's announcements were made during E3 and the rest of the year was mostly quiet. When Animal Crossing was the only "traditional" game they had to announce, that really was it for the foreseeable future. Suffice it to say, that was the year I discovered the Xbox 360.

"Or kind of adorable, like Bill Trinen"

Probably the best that I was too young to want to watch E3 at the time

It was so bad they fired that woman shortly after

When Reggy waits for applause and a baby starts crying, I started laughing my butt off.

Nintendo: Our 2008 E3 was bold and brash.
Nintendo fans: More like belongs in the trash!

"Hey Arlo"
"Yooyoyoyooo Arlooo"


"HEY ARLO"
_"WHAT IS IT"_
"Let me edit a vid and I'll leave you alone"
_"FINE"_

*10/10*

You say 2008 E3 was horrifying. I say 2015 E3 was the most devestating one. They had a puppet show that most people hated, and Iwata said they will try to do better next time. And he dies few months later. The devestating part is not the puppet show, it was the last comments he got that were mostly people hating the puppet show because he couldn't go on stage and show he was sick.

Excuse you, Wii Sports Resort is a treasure

I love the timing on that Bill clip. When Arlo said he was kinda adorable, Bill looked at the camera like "wait what?"

What's crazy is that the Wii had a pretty great start as far as core games go. The first year and a half saw Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Brawl, Mario Kart, Super Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Battalion Wars, Excite Truck, and Mario Strikers Charged... and then all that momentum just slammed into E3 2008 like a brick wall.

And you know what really gets me? The fact that they didn't even mention Wario Land: Shake It, a game that came out _literally later that month._

3:30 Did... did they bring in *Tommy Wiseau* for E3?

[DarkAura]

I remember making a banger of a remix of the Animal Crossing theme with Wii Music as a kid. If you actually deviate from the recommended notes a bit in Wii Music you can make interesting stuff.

[DukeJuki]

Nintendo's had some poopers in the past, but no matter what, I don't think they'll ever outdo

*FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE U.S. DOLLARS*
*IT'S RIDGE RACER! RRIIIDGE RACEERRR!*
*SO THERE'S THIS GIANT ENEMY CRAB*

You and Farfetch'd were on POINT in this video. The subtle humour that you both brought really complemented the wonderful horror of the presentation. Well done!

[NikLikesThings]

It's actually shocking that I watched E3 every year when this was my first...

[ryanc]

Let’s hope E3 2018 is better than last years, if that’s even possible

I read Nintendo Life's live text commentary on this event. It sounded like something from a book about an apocalypse.
