microsoft and bethesda btfo'd every other developer
Barring Techland of course (Dying Light 2 looked great!) Bethesda did get me excited though (Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Wolfenstein AND DOOM all in the same showcase?!)

Devolver won.
I don't give a shit about Fallout 76.
I don't give a shit about Battlefield V.
I don't give a major shit about SSBU (I still love you Super Smash Bros.)

I give a megashit about My Friend Pedro.

Microsoft for me, It was nice to have an E3 presentation that was mostly just broadcasting game after game constantly, it gave so many smaller titles a massive stage to show off their work, instead of dedicating 2 hours to showing off people playing with their balls live on stage.
Got a good number of games on my watchlist now from that one.

It certainly was not nintendo.

Trash Ultimate aka Trash 4 reskin. Woo. Ridley is in, how exciting. No Metroid Prime 4 though? It was the only real thing they had worth showing.

It could have all the characters in the world, but shit mechanics makes a shit game.

Nintendo is capable of great games Melee, Double Dash, and even Splatoon shows that when a game developer creates interesting and meaningful mechanics in a game people will cherish and be passionate about it.

Unfortunately, Nintendo cannot make great competitive games not because they lack the means to do so; they are incapable of making great competitive games because of their casual mindset.

Their incessant need to reward bad players with catch-up mechanics or removing options in fear that better players will make use of them to significantly outplay worse/newer players only creates slow and boring gameplay.

At least Nintendo actually releases fully completed games without paywall and dlc to make "rewarding and meaningful progress".
