Nintendo Direct@E3 2013 

RIP Iwata. You will be missed. :(

This was definitely one of Nintendo's best E3 showings Super Mario 3D World Mario Kart 8 Zelda: Wind Waker HD Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Bayonetta 2 Xenoblade Chronicles X Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U (ending with Mega Man's big reveal) This is what made me run out the door and buy a Wii U. This year's E3 probably made a lot of people feel like selling their Wii U.

Rest in peace, Iwata.

I don't know why, but I really like how Iwata speaks english.

This E3 direct was so underrated only for being the first E3 digital presentation from Nintendo and for be Wii U announcements. The games presented were so incredible. Most of the nowadays directs do not have these quantity of announcements on the same event. Imagine have A new Pokemon game, New Mario 3D, Mario Kart 9, Bayonetta 3, new DK game, Xenoblade 3, Zelda HD for Switch… all on the same event! That would be the event if the year

Im really gonna miss seeing Iwata in our new nintendo directs...

Everyone called Nintendo stupid for switching primarily to digital presentations for E3. 7 years later, we're pretty much begging for Nintendo to finally do another one after every one else started doing them.

Even after all these years, Iwata still makes me smile.

God, can you imagine the crowd reaction to Smash if this was a live conference? They missed out on an incredible chance.

Wow Here we are 10 years later. First of all rest in peace satoru iwata you will always be a legend and won't ever be forgotten. I will never forget this direct where they showed mario kart 8, super mario 3d world and super smash bros for 3ds/wii u for the first time. The hype was going crazy back then. I actually really miss those times.

when Wii U had so much promises.

This was such a strong E3 for Nintendo: - Pokemon XY. - Super Mario 3D Land. -Mario Kart 8. -Donkey Kong. -Smash Bros Wii U/3DS. And more...

Iwata, you were a great man and greatly made an impact in Nintendo's history. All of Nintendo and us fans will miss you.

Just watched this again for the memories. This was the best Nintendo Direct of the Wii U era.

Looking back now at all these old E3's, Wii U really wasn't that bad at all. I never bought one, but I did get a Switch on day one and I'm so happy to see a lot of these old titles ported over!

2013 and 2014 were my all time favorite Nintendo e3’s

This was one of the best e3 moments for Nintendo and its sad because this was one of iwata last appearance for e3 before he passed away he was such an amazing president for the best video game company of all time

10 years later I still consider this the best Nintendo direct of all time!

I was 11 years old when I watched this E3 and know I feel old from watching it in 2018.

RIP Satoru Iwata 1959-2015. he was an absolute legend at nintendo and shaped it to what it is today (in 2021). May he rest in peace

I think we can all agree 2013 was a great year for gaming, and not just for Nintendo.

36:42 That moment the Internet Exploded.

07:43 - we were introduced to a new Mario Kart game. More than seven full years later, and we still don't even have the _annnouncement_ of the development, of the next mainstream entry in the Mario Kart series. I am not counting Mario Kart Tour as the 9th main entry.

Historian's Note: This is the first Nintendo Direct where Nintendo deigned not to involve themselves with the circus that was the main stage at E3. Fast forward a decade, and E3 is looking to have finally shuttered as a trade show after years of gross incompetences, indifferent management, and directionless ideas.

They still haven't topped this nintendo direct it had literally everything

it seems to me that Nintendo is the only company that has kept it reasonably classy from the beginning. keep it fun. games weren't supposed to be serious and gory.

This was the SECOND time we've had a Smash Brothers and Mario Kart game release under the same year, on one console.

R.I.P. Mr. Iwata :( Thank you for everything you've done.

Wow over 2 years ago. Time really does fly

Iwata was a fantastic individual. He didn’t deserve to die

I was not a Nintendo fan untill after he was gone but i can see why iwatta was so beloved

Man, seeing Iwata like this is bittersweet. I honestly miss him.

May your soul Rest In Peace Mr. Iwata. Such dedication and joy brought to millions. Thanks for all the fun.

I went back to watch this just for a trip down memory lane...Good Days😁

2013: Back when Nintendo really showed their A game.

It's the next E3 Nintendo Direct tomorrow. This will be a year old in two days. THAT'S FREAKING INSANE.

R.I.P. Mr. Iwata, you will be greatly missed by all gamers.

This E3 stream convinced me to buy a Wii U on September 20th(Wind Waker bundle) when it got a price cut. I started saving the day after this streamed, I was expecting to have it by October, and then the Wii U got a price cut and I bought the WWHD bundle the day it was released. Before this E3 i was planning on a PS4. Am I dissapointed in myself for buying a Wii U before a PS4? HELLS NO! I am now a proud Wii U owner. Buying a PS4 in 2015 when I own all the 2014 WiiU games and the damn PS4 is worth it.

Still my favorite E3 from nintendo

you cant beat this direct. ever. this is the direct i always remember.

The moment I heard iwatas voice again I started crying.

With smash ultimate's final fighter revealed as Sora, man what a journey. I'm sad that Iwata couldn't see how far this series pushed boundaries. Iwata's last request to Sakurai was to make the best smash bros and its safe to say, Sakurai made good on that request.

Remember when Nintendo had awesome e3s?

God I came in remembering how good E3's were a few years back but I wasn't prepared to have tears shed hearing Iwata's voice again, you'll forever be missed

RIP IWATA SAN Thank you thanks you thank you are you for EVERYTHING youve given us I swear I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU IWATA SAMA. Ill....I'll see you later.;v;

RIP Iwata No one will forget you!

the date is April 8th, 2020. and I am so starved of nintendo news that I am watching past directs

This is still the best Nintendo e3 presentation.

I remember watching this when it first came out. The memories!

The Year Nintendo Won E3 Without Even Doing A Press Conference

I miss this era of nintendo mannnnnn

Who came here in 2021 just to remember iwata 🥺

Man, Nintendo is just not the same without Iwata

Iwata, I may never have been able to fully understand you, but the impact you made on Nintendo's history is undeniable. Sorry your life had to be cut short....

I come from the future. New Smash game for the NX. Comes out 2018 The hype train sent me to the past

It's been 8 years and we still don't get a new Mario Kart game

00:56 Pokémon X and Pokémon Y 04:13 Super Mario 3D World 07:43 Mario Kart 8 10:56 Wii Party U 14:52 2013 3rd Party Releases 17:40 2013 Wii U Nintendo eShop Releases 19:25 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD 23:59 The Wonderful 101 25:58 Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 28:54 Bayonetta 2 31:50 Monolith Soft 34:23 Super Smash Bros.

This was the best E3 in my opinion, 2014 a close one The directs were better in this way when the hosts showed themselves more instead of just transitioning to one game after another immediately after one trailer ends, but that’s just me Another edit: Just cried hearing Iwata’s sweet voice again

Amazing memories, for me the directs between 2012 and 2015 are the best of all, miss Iwata so much! 😢❤️

The best Nintendo E3 Ever in my opinion

Better than the direct mini

This was an amazing e3, wish I could say that now...

That Smash Bros. announcement tho.

IWata.... thank you for all you do

Damn this was one year ago :/

34:40 The same thing happens with Isabelle

Its something to be said, that i just rewatched this E3 thinking "yeah, this is the best one i've ever watched" and somehow i still think that its even better than what i thought, besides some eshop, 3rd Party and Pokemon games, everything had me interested, even the booth showing and the announcement of available Demos at stores, even though i wasn't there in USA to experience that, there was an event were i live that hosted Mario 3D World, Wii Party U and DK Tropical Freeze, sadly i couldn't assist, i even had dreams about getting some of those games, and ofcourse i did. But the craziest thing is, that after the Smash trailer, i thought that i was satisfied, but then comes MegaMan, booth showing, demos... but it wasn't over, because later that day they announced Wii Fit Trainer for Smash, and showed a bit more of Mario and the 3DS games, very exciting times because the news didn't stop there, and demos kept coming on Wii U and 3DS... so far still my favorite time as a gamer.

Honestly, if it weren't for KH3 and FFXV, I would be 100 percent on getting the Wii U. Also, Nintendo better have a conference this year.

Why is this in my recommended? For a second I thought it was a new nintendo direct.

7 years later

I was straight in love when I saw DKCTF. Still my favorite Wii U game :D

I watched this while on college and i was blown away, from 3D Mario to Mario Kart... hype! And then the rest, Wind Waker HD video, DK Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade X and SMASH?? Some of the best titles, even to this day.

38:55 Nintendo calling out the fake news

Omg this was 3 years ago. Time really does fly

10 years later and this is still hype, that Smash Bros trailer brought back so much memories. Megaman is the best fighter reveal I miss Iwata-San, he’s the GOAT

Nintendo direct has been the most anticipated event from Nintendo!❤️❤️❤️

I know it's been 5 years, but that Smash reveal gave me a heart attack! Hopefully Nintendo E3's Smash reveal for switch today packs a punch

RU-vid recommend me this after E3 2021, and I'm mesmerized by the fact that Pokemon x and y hadn't even released yet

I've seen this Nintendo Direct 3 or 4 times, it never gets old XD

All these years later and we're still playing Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe) And I'd guess Smash on the Switch could look like the cutscenes as well.

SMASH 5!!!!! also rip iwata :(

I love Iwata so much.😭

This was MUCH BETTER than the last Nintendo's E3 for Switch.

Why do people hate the Wii U I like it I just hate it when people complain

I hope at E314 will have a SSB4 booth for both 3ds and WiiU. this year.

Watching this in 2017 because the WiiU is my favorite Nintendo console:)

Lol I like how Mario and Luigi are just walking around the booth

Still better than @E32015 Nintendo Direct

"Shall we go to the Pikmin area?" God I wish I could've. ...R.I.P. Iwata.

I can listen to him speak all day. RIP Iwata.

I think this is probably the absolute best modern E3 presentation Nintendo has done (this may change depending on tomorrow's event, but we'll see). Like seriously, it has it all: Epic reveals of Nintendo games almost everyone was hoping for, plenty of details on each game and a rough estimate of what to expect, predictable launch windows with no delays (mostly), and an exciting selection of third party titles alongside it. Seriously, this did everything right, and our boy Iwata really sealed the deal with this presentation as well. May he rest in peace.

I watched this just for mk8. I have 8 deluxe

Don't the 1st Smash Trailer bring back good memories when it was in development?

Can't believe 2 years have gone by since this E3 Presentation which included Pokemon X/Y Smash Wii U/3DS and MK8. I was finishing up school when this happened as it was the last week of classes for me. By far way better than this year.

It is now 2017 and this E3 has been topped.

This was 1 godly Nintendo Direct, just great! Also, R.I.P. Satoru Iwata...

Remember when we were happy and we didn't know it?

the best e3 so far in my opinion rest in peace mr iwata you changed nintendo

Looking back on it, this was probably the hype-est Nintendo Direct that I'll have ever seen throughout my entire life... It's been so long since Nintendo blew my mind title after title in a single Nintendo Direct...

This E3 and 2012 is making me consider buying a wii u
