Yeah, Nintendo was recruiting for their next 3D Major Zelda a while ago. So that's a given. It's just probably a bit too soon to reveal it.

Sadly, it was boring yes. Except for Cyberpunk 2077. Even while there is no new substantial gameplay footage, I remain excited for the Triple A game in an era where you are being nickel and dimed out of all your savings for these so-called micro-transactions (really... prices can be ludicrous). Not to mention that Triple A games love to hold your hand, pad out the playing time with unnecessary content and grinding and remind you of political and social situations (really... Watch_Dogs: Legion...). It's not all that bad and I likely still purchase most of the Triple A games eventually in time (Steam sales are your best friend). I just don't prefer these "standards".
I... Just... Want... To... Play... Games... No more cinematics please... So many cinematics that don't even motivate me in the slightest. It's just fancy graphics. That's all. Are they so inconfident to show gameplay?
Ohh before I forget, Age of Empires II is having a complete remaster / remake, similarly to Age of Empires I. So that's definitely something to get excited about. It's just a shame E3 showed so little of it. Well, it will be coming soon. I'm satisfied already. And Ori. Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Again, it's a shame it was only shown briefly, but Ori and the Will of the Wisps has me completely excited. Just try out Ori and the Blind Forest and you know why I am so incredibly excited about it.
My hope lies with Nintendo. At least they have always been traditional for the most part. Just a good old simple game. Nothing more, nothing less. Ya know, something like Zelda, Mario, Yoshi, Kirby or Smash. Luigi's Mansion, Smash and Link's Re-Awakening are basically confirmed to be shown, so Nintendo can't really go much wrong with this presentation. Besides, the Pokémon presentation was just awesome.
At least I am confident that Nintendo will show us actual gameplay footage rather than just cinematic trailers. Or so I hope. Gameplay trailers are fine through, I will still be able to judge the gameplay from it.
Ohh yeah. One more thing. That exclusive Switch JRPG Octopath Traveler has been released for Windows on Steam. Maybe I should pick it up. I heard it was quite critically acclaimed on the Switch. Yeah... I still need to purchase a Switch. I aim for next year hopefully. I think I wait for the rumored model upgrade. A larger 1080p screen with a bit more power would be nice. I would really like not to purchase my Switch twice. Turned out I was wise enough to wait with the 3DS as well since it got a CPU upgrade. By now it is well aware Nintendo tends to upgrade all their hardware with some revisions.
