Holy Crap! Amended:

Assuming 60 minutes:

- 7 min for Mario Kart U
- 15 min for 3rd party (Sonic LW, Ubisoft, WB, Activision)
- 4 min Smash announcement
- 15 min for NSLU, W101, Pikmin 3, Bayo 2, Wii Party, etc.
- 7 min for new 3D Mario
- 3 min for Retro announcement
- 9 min for other random things (welcome, os updates, etc.)
 
Seems decent, though I hope they don't spend too long talking about Pikmin etc.

Aren't they having multiple directs this E3?

I'm waiting for it.

Seriously, I've been waiting for a StarTropics revival for many, many years. Such a fun game.

It seems like it fits. The anticipation is really starting to get to me.

Longest 10 days of my life (until next year).

If it happens I'll personally poop on all of your beds
 
Someone break down the time allocation for the following:

1) Open with Super Mario WiiU, much like how they opened with Skyward Sword one E3
2) On the topic of Mario, transition to Mario Kart WiiU
3) Still on a Mario-related note, transition to Yarn Yoshi for WiiU
4) On the topic of Yoshi, transition to Yoshi's Island for 3DS
5) Continuing the 3DS, transition to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2
6) Still on the topic of Zelda, proceed to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
7) Proceed to another fall WiiU title, namely The Wonderful 101
8) Still on the topic of Platinum Games, transition to Bayonetta 2
9) On the note of third-party collaboration, go to SMT x Fire Emblem (unlikely, but still)
10) On the note of epic RPGs, transition to Monolith Soft's X (and 3DS title, why not)
11) Touch on story-driven games for NA: Bravely Default, Layton vs. AA, MonHun 4
12) Highlight major RPGs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y (first simultaneous global launch)
13) Focus on expanded audience: Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Wii Sports U
14) Return to "core" and drop the Treasure 3DS project Bob-omb
15) Then drop the Retro Studios WiiU project Bob-omb
16) Reggie: "One more thing" -- SUPER SMASH BROS. 4

You're missing Sonic: Lost World.
 
Since this Direct will also be shown in Japan, does it mean there will also be Japanese announcements that won't come west yet (if ever)? It will be interested to see how long the Japanese one is, maybe that's an indicator.
 
The titles we know are going to be at E3 in some form but we haven't seen yet are:

- New Mario
- New Mario Kart
- Smash Bros

Right? Do we have confirmation of Retro's game?

I don't believe so. But if we really don't see it at this point, I would be quite concerned for whatever they're working on.

This, if we don't have at least a name and a small teaser trailer, it's best to assume that Retro as a company is now DoA and we won't likely see anything from them aside from credits where they helped on a couple games for the next 2-3 years.

Get a job, hippy.

Then pretend to be sick so you can take the day off to watch the Direct. It's the only logical choice.

Hahaha, I wish. I think it an automatic fail if I miss one or two classes.

Actually, in class will be the only place I could watch the Direct afterward because there's no internet at the apartment that I'll be moving into.
 
Not too much in terms of surprises huh?

Still a blockbuster lineup if they decide to showcase it all.
 
vareon said:
I know, I'm just classifying based on whether we have official confirmations or not.
Click to expand...

all we know is that around last E3 reggie gave vague confirmation that they were working on a big game and that it was going to be a title to "drive install base" and last month we heard from someone that they hoped we could see their game in the "not so distant future". no confirmations of anything, but i think that it is slightly more likely to show up than not
 
I got a very strong feeling that the next Mario game will be Mario Galaxy 3.

Why?

IMO Because considering the time constraints and pressure to deliver AAA titles as soon as possible, the Mario team probably used the Galaxy engine / assets to create a updated version in a shorter span of time than it would take to come up with a new engine / game theme.

I wouldn't mind Galaxy 3 but I really do hope it is a new mushroom kingdom style game like Mario 64 but just on a larger scale. They could even have space segments within that (where you fly out from the kingdom) and retain mechanics from the Galaxy games.

I also doubt we will see Retro's game. I would love if we did, but I just have a sinking feeling it wont be there.

I highly doubt this.

The whole console was developed because of some ideas that some Nintendo developers had with this whole dual screen thing.

Source saying Galaxy 3 is unlikely from Kouzumi because there are no leftover concepts left.

EAD 1 has said Super Mario 3D Land is the crossroads in the 3D Mario series. This is where they will take some point from.

Mutiplayer and real time switching has been on the cards for ages since N64.

It's been 3 years since the release of Galaxy 2, 3D Land was probably a much easier job , and 2 years since end of Super Mario 3D Land release when 3D mario Wii U comes out. Plenty of time. First parties get early devkits early.

Retro have had 2.5-3 years to develop a game, 3-3.5 years by it comes out, and Nintendo need top bring out the real guns to create a real reason why people should buy a real Wii U.

Nintnedo employee saying in April to ONM that Retro's game will hopefully be revealed soon.

Plus the rumor, albeit a rumor, that the last surprise (fireworks) of E3 2012 was supposed to be Retro's game that was actually pulled last minute. Reggie's sentiments of an interview of having retro calling him up back up if he suddenly announced Retro's game this feeling.
