* The directs. Instead of relying on con, interviews, and shows Nintendo has taken to hosting half-hour long presentations to give their consumers ideas of whats being done and what games are coming and updates on existing games. It doesn't sound like much but, unlike their competitors, it allows them to control the hype and keep it from dieing. There is also the added benefits of allowing them to have Directs to be about one thing ie; just Smash, Bayonetta, Pokemon, Zelda and so on.
* As of 9-13-18 Nintendo and Square-Enix have seem to have burying the hatchet with every Final Fantasy 7, 9, 10 and 10-2 being ported to the Switch (with 8 being missing most likely due to the Source Code being gone.) 7 is notable as it was the game that Square turned away from Nintendo with and started to favor Sony with.

After that, we got a slew of game trailers mixed with short developer interviews. ''VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld'' made its reappearance after being missing-in-action for eighteen months. The beloved "Captain Toad" levels got the SpinOff treatment in ''VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker''. We our first look at then-untitled ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'' and a new trailer for ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriors'', with news that ''[[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} Bayonetta 1]]'' would ship in a two-pack with the upcoming [[VideoGame/{{Bayonetta2}} sequel]] squeezed in-between. We had a return to stylus gameplay in the form of ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheRainbowCurse'' alongside footage of ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX''. We witnessed the birth of future SleeperHit ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon}}'' and closed the main conference off with another ''Smash Bros.'' character reveal... as well as a stealth reveal of ''VideoGame/StarFoxZero'' via blurry cam.
