This was amazing, So much was shown that is unique or interesting. It looks like Nintendo wants to give players more content rather than the same content over and over again. As some titles shown are better versions of previous games, they were different enough to be exciting. The downside to the digital event were the extended developer discussions on a couple of games, its great to hear from a developer on a title that you are excited for but these had a tendency to go on too long. Nintendo needed this conference and I sincerely hope they sell a ton of consoles with no only the games shown during the event but the games announced in the days to come. 9 outta 10.
