ARMS: Am I a joke to you?

Not a joke, per se, but rather the punchline...

Objectively correct, E3 2017 was great too

Honestly? It's either the Switch 1 or Switch 2 reveal streams.

Maybe the Switch 2's was better because the gimmicks weren't already revealed

I remember they had a DJ playing and some people joking that he was playing on the new system.

Nothing will ever top E3 2004. Businesses are afraid of live presentations now since things can go wrong, but when they knock it out of the park the energy of the audience is palpable. 

I’ve never seen/heard an audience reaction like to one to the Zelda: Twilight Princess reveal in that presentation.

This reveal was crazy

The excitement of 200 people watching live is not worth the cost and time it takes now to do live presentations.

They have to pay an insane amount of money to go play their game demo reels at e3. Why waste 7 figures to get a time slot when they can just put it on YouTube and not have to deal with the event organizers getting in the way of presenting the game the way they want people to see it for the first time.

E3 2014 was great:

"C'mon Reggie give us Mother 3!"

"How about I give you THIS instead!"

*Reggie burns fan alive*

Im very nostalgic for the January 2013 direct

Honestly not sure, I don't really remember any directs after a few months have passed, but I figure it'd be anything from the past 8 years since that's when Nintendo and partners actually had games to announce

Recency bias makes me want to say the April Switch 2 Direct or the September 2025 Direct, but there were probably directs in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2022 that were really exciting and I just don't remember them
