I've never really watched much Giant Bomb before this E3 but man, these guys sure hate them some Nintendo games.

I feel like the people who should be upset about this Nintendo showcase the most ARE Nintendo fans.

Listening to the audio of the night shows and I have to say, I don't see what was at all "momentum killing" about it. You can argue that they didn't show a lot of their lineup, and there are games out soon that weren't on the floor. It is also absolutely disappointing that Yoshi and Fire Emblem got delayed to 2019, after a year and a half of no delays.

However, they have big exclusive releases every month for the rest of the year, one of them is the biggest game of E3 and arguably the year. They have indies and bigger third party games. Hollow Knight releasing was a big deal for instance. They absolutely have momentum.

Now I don't think the direct was great but their lineup is rock solid. I do think they were treating this as just another direct (hence using the direct branding, which normally they haven't). But in terms of games and momentum for the Switch I think Giant Bomb are going to be on the wrong side of history on this one. And I'm prepared to eat crow on that if I'm wrong!
