Nintendo’s E3 Spotlight presentation will run for around 30 minutes

Nintendo has detailed its plans for E3 2017 further today announcing the schedule for the Nintendo Treehouse: Live and the tournaments they will be hosting.
The first sessions are set to begin 9:30 am Pacific time, that’s just 30 minutes after the Spotlight. If that’s the case than the Nintendo Spotlight can’t be more than 30 minutes long. How much can they jam into that time?
We’ll have an article up soon with all the times for all of Nintendo’s events and streams, but now the big ones times are below;

The April Direct was 35 minutes and covered 30 games (across BOTH 3DS and Switch), new amiibo, new Joycons, battery packs and the dock set. They also have 2 days of Treehouse and invitationals to go into more detail gameplay wise. Given the spotlight is exclusively Switch, I think 30 minutes is plenty.
Yes thats true but, i would think Nintendo may devote 10 mins on just Mario, plus including Arms and Splatoon 2. I don’t think there will be any other unanounced games from Nintendo. Remember Nintendo is only talking about games releasing this year. I would think around 4-6 AAA games will be highlighted with the 15 plus indie games slated for this year.
We’ll see in the day, but Nintendo never said they’re “only” speaking about 2017 games. They said there’s a “focus on” 2017.
I also doubt they’ll devote much time in the Spotlight to Mario and ARMS. Mario is the focus of Treehouse this year, meaning there’s plenty of time over the 2 days to cover it, and there’s an ARMS tournament as well.
I mean, if you watch all the regular conferences, so much time is wasted on people being introduced, walking on and off stage, and general circle jerking… I mean waiting for applause to die down.
