20 Best Ever E3 Moments
17. Shigeru Miyamoto Makes Mario + Rabbids Developer Cry (2017)
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was officially announced at E3 2017, and during the Ubisoft showcase, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto hit the stage to talk-up the game and its director, Davide Soliani.
Miyamoto mentioned that he simply asked Soliani to try and make a Mario game that'd never been made before, while the show's producers cut to a visibly moved Soliani welling up with tears and then standing up to bow at Miyamoto.
Given that genuinely sincere moments are tough to come by in Ubisoft pressers of all things, to see Soliani - reportedly a huge Nintendo fan his entire life - caught up in the moment, of seeing his game revealed by his industry hero, was tremendously heart-warming.
Thankfully the game turned out pretty great, too.
