- “How the fuck are we 10 mins in already???”

- Some nonsensical, underwhelming third party games like Far Cry 4, Dishonoured 2, Arkham Asylum or Dragon Age.
- Splatoon 3 DLC showcase, a new mode centered around the Manhattan project. Looks weirdly dark.
- Another annoyingly cute indie game announced. Two hipster looking indie devs showcase the game. “Souls-like.” “Haha look guys you can pet the dog xD.” “Please buy it or we’ll go into liquidation."
- Switch Sports: mini golf and lacrosse!
- Octopath Traveller 2 big trailer
- “15 minutes left guys!!!!”
- Big Indie announcement: Stanley Parable Switch

- The little direct reel jingle plays
- Gameboy games announced for Switch! Launching with Tetris, Alleyway, Wario Land 2 and Game & Watch Collection, lots of "yasssssssss" posts and people going mental, but you're not really sure why?
- Long, tearful, emotionally charged plea from one member about how Alleyway is really important to them because they used to play it with their great grandfather before he died, and the people claiming this isn't a big announcement don't realise that just because it's not for them personally doesn't mean it isn't a big deal for other people.
