All I want from Nintendo...well let me explain...
E3 2011: Was expecting to see a new Metroid for 3DS, perhaps Dread finally!...Nope.
E3 2012: OK, Retro is surely prepping a new Metroid for Wii U launch!...Nope.
E3 2013: Starting to get afraid the franchise has been shelved...unless Retro's secret game is Metroid!...NOPE! Maybe a new Metroid for 3DS is finally coming?...No. Fucking. Dice.
Seriously, I am jonesing for a new Metroid so bad, I will take it in any form at this point. 2D, 3D, First-Person, Third-Person...Anything! Remake Metroid 2 or something! Give me Prime HD!

I'm glad to see that there are more members that have a high-level of optimism. (Oh, & by the way, welcome to the club!)
LOL!
Because they do way more innovative and crazy stuff than all other parties combined in the video game industry. And they also make the best games.
It also helps that Nintendo is so tight lipped that they can literally pull anything out of thin air at any time.
So it's fun to just speculate what they have hidden away.
Metroid Art Academy coming to eShop this holiday season!

I think they make good games, but what does that have to do with speculation?
As for the first sentence...all I can say is 'wut?'
I think Riki is on the ball, it has to do with how tight-lipped they are.

I'll actually attend the e3 this year (yay) ...its a dream comes true to me and I'm VERY disappointed at the fact that Nintendo doesn't have a "normal" conference 
.I'm really really really hoping for some kind of gathering where Nintendo fanatics get togther to watch the stream in a place at e3 or something :'(
Edit: oh I expect Nintendo to reveal some major games with their collaborations that will take everyone by surprise.
But my most anticipated game so far is Zelda U (whatever they are baking really)

Are you attending as press? If not, then there's really no way you would have gotten to see the conference anyway.
Outside of that, there will probably be several locations where people will watch together. Particularly in the hotels.

No I bought the ticket through the website and they sent me some kind of questionnaire and asked for my work and stuff and it got approved.
I hope GAF make a thread about those gathering places tho

Yeah, the conferences are invite only. So even if Nintendo was holding one at the Nokia, you wouldn't have gone. But there are always GAF meetups for these. There should be a thread going up in the coming weeks.

I kind of expect to see Zelda U
I want a NA X release date, a 3D Metroid announcement, and a surprise exclusive and I'll be overjoyed.

It's sad that people still believe this after we got a lengthy battle video.

I wish Nintendo would do a press conference. Why aren't they doing it anymore? I just watched the epic Zelda orchestra intro from 2011 we will never get back the crowd reaction and the pure epicness from the image...
While i absolutely loved Xenoblade, this one still isn't clicking with me, and while the last gameplay video was interesting, you cannot deny there seems to be a MH inspiration. Maybe if they show some main story segments i'll change my mind. I hope so.

All I need to see/hear from them is:
-Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem Info/media/anything!
-More on X and maybe finally hear some real info on it rather than more trailers/footage
-Advance Wars 5 3DS
-Zelda U

There is no MH inspiration whatsoever. You're seeing things that aren't there.

I hope N64 era Nintendo shows up. I miss those guys.

Finally an updated hype train pic! The last one is pretty outdated since it has banned users or users who suddenly became trolls for unknown reasons
Of course I can.
The battle system is nearly identical to Xenoblade.
Nothing about it is like Monster Hunter in the slightest and you're hallucinating if you think otherwise.

The harvest will be good this year.
Fighting big monsters does not equal mh clone.
Especially since Xenoblade had giant monsters as well.
I honestly have no idea what this game is.

It's Phantasy star online.
I dunno, I never really got a PSO vibe from Xenoblade.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel like X looks more MHey than I would like, especially given we still haven't seen any proof of any significant story mode. I Certainly hope I'm wrong because I hate MH and would be incredibly disappointed if they wasted a potential Xenoblade sequel as a MH game.
It's Phantasy Star Online (Episode 1). I brought it up because it came way before MH, and at least the both of them are sci-fi-themed RPGs.
Made by Takahashi, hiring employees with experience in literature, not MH-ey in the slightest, etc..

I would love a dlc package with a couple of new worlds for Mario 3D World, coming around Christmas. I think I am getting addicted to the magic of EAD.
Aren't some of the pgs shown in the video supposed to be other players?
So if it has co-op i guess it'll be mission based aka fighting big monsters, that seems MH-like.
But hey, if you're telling me i'm wrong then i'll happily order two portions of crowds
I totally agree with you, but damn do I want a higher resolution 3DS in the meantime. I honestly don't care what the graphics are like since a good art style can handle a lot, but the res can sometimes be annoying.
That "Nintendo DS games in HD" thread really showed how much detail gets lost.

We don't know anything about how online does or doesn't work in the game. They haven't even confirmed it has online (though it seems likely).
But even then, the entire game would certainly not be built around online. That's pretty clear from the videos that there is a lot of stuff you do as a single player.
If Xenoblade allowed human players to control AI party members, would that have made it "MH-like"?

Soul Calibur VI. Wii U version comes with Magikarp.
But when they deliver, they deliver hard.
Poor child.

Probably in the minority here, but I'd love it if Mario's next, big, proper HD 3D outing on WiiU was Mario Sunshine 2. (Or just an up-port of Mario Sunshine.) Summer's just around the corner and that game's a perfect fit for the season...

Oh I would cry tears of joy.... Sunshine was the best Mario in my opinion...
