I will say this: I think that the biggest thing Nintendo could do in terms of surprises would be securing an exclusive wii u megaman title in the vein of Sonic lost world. It would play nicely to Nintendo's latest retro fetish and make them the hero in the eyes of many gamers. It would have to be a reinvention of the franchise that plays to its roots (no maturrrrr bulshit).
Something like that would bring the megatonz to nintendos e3.

I'd love it, but I doubt it'd really make that much of a splash.
I think it would be one of the only true feasible surprises left in terms of retro franchises. Contra maybe as well, but megaman fits Nintendo's own franchises so nicely I would die for a well designed, ambitious take on classic megaman with the 3d mario treatment.That would certainly make GAF melt but probably not exactly set the carts on fire
As this Direct will be seen by more people I'd probably stick a 5 minute trailer montage in for their summer releases if I was Nintendo.
1 hour should be plenty as well.
They trailed 6 games, named four more for summer release and announced Smash, Kart and Mario 3D in the 36 minute Direct in January..
..and half of that Direct was spent talking purely about Miiverse/virtual console.

If only.
Holy fuuuuuuuck, is this Viewtiful Joe?!
I know is the guy from 101
No VJ but some of his moves actually look the same as Joe's (jumping and 2nd jump). At least that's what I got after playing it on the eurogamer expo
I'd be extremely surprised if it was, that rumor sounded way off..reminded me of last year's starfox x metroid lunacy.

No they never said how many directs would be coming before E3. We got 1 and thats probably it. (count the capcom one if you want)
I doubt it, but I actually really hope it is. I mean that IP would give them total creative freedom as long as they includes a nod or two to the original. It would be like a new IP in practice.

We heard it a long time ago actually
Damn. Then i give up.
I just hope Nintendo will show us some real good things.
We got the one last month that showcased Summer Wii U games, and some 3DS ones. Then straight after that the E3 Direct was confirmed to be focused on Wii U games from Autumn and beyond. Never about a third Direct
We are getting a Pokemon direct as well.
No we're not. That's one of their usual E3 roundtables. It won't be streamed and they aren't allowing photos or videos within it.
They said "many directs before E3" so the ones who were reasonable among us deduced it was to be 2 Directs. We got one on the 17th and this one which is technically before E3, as they said themselves. We'll get more during E3 iirc.
I stand corrected then. Good to know.

So are they going to add a new shadow every day or something?
I don't think they will spoil the surprises before E3, this is just to get us a little hyped.
Why would they spoil any surprise reveals on a website beforehand?
Seriously, the last couple of years, every "surprise" reveal from gaming companies has always been shown/hinted/leaked beforehand. Last year's E3 was depressing for that as it was just confirming stuff.
I want surprises like the Twilight Princess E3 surprise, or the Link to the Past 2 Nintendo Direct of two months ago. Something out of left field. That's how reveals and surprises are meant to go

Yay, I'm on Bowser's head!
Edit, well, not in the gif, but on the pic
it's not a question of spoilering surprises, but if they'll talk about w101 and pikmin and luigi, they'll talk for sure also about fit and party. and if the direct will discuss also 3ds games, considering mario, smash and kart and the summer OS update...do you really think that one hour will be enough to show also X, bayonetta, yoshi, fire emblem and maybe also a couple of new games including retro's new title?
I don't think so...

Check out the negative Nancy's in this thread. If you really think they're going to fuck up so bad, just don't watch it.
I want this. Oh how I want this.
The shadows are for the E3 Nintendo site, not for Direct specifically. E3 Nintendo site will have a coverage with interviews, trailers and other things starting with the Direct, that, as said on its own site, will be about future Wii U titles.
Who says they're talking about Wonderful 101, Pikmin and Luigi? All signs say that they will have little to no presence
"#IwataSays We will discuss future Wii U titles for fall and onward during an additional #NintendoDirectNA before the start of E3 in June."
"We will discuss new Smash Bros., 3D Mario game, Mario Kart and other Wii U titles in our #NintendoDirectNA before the start of E3"
All evidence suggests that this Nintendo Direct will not contain them

Is it likely? Has anyone contact with the people working at Retro?
I got a lot of invitations and appointments for the E3 week but the PR guys of the publishers whether want to tell me what kind of game is shown nor with whom I will have an interview. Makes preperation a lot easier. Not.
remember the direct is about "future Wii U games" so there should not be much as far as 3ds or summer releases. That been said, I still won't give them the benefit of the doubt since they messed up a million times.

The Dream Team!
Well I remember a 3DS direct in the past, they were going through a lot of games in about 30 mins.
If they don't take too long each game, I'm sure they can do it, I think some games will be shown fast e.g Bayonetta and surprise announcements, and then they will focus more on games like 3D Mario.
Also I doubt they will take long with Pikimin and W101, they did the summer release direct for this reason.
Plus this direct supposedly will focus on Wii U games only, or at least mostly.
See nothing to worry about.

I can't imagine them spending too much precious minutes over New Luigi, Pikmin, W101, and all games we already know...
That sait, it is a direct, not a conference, there is no time in applause, watch who's coming, etc... So I guess 1 hour is cool.
Now don't ruin it. Please. Doommongers are sharpening their knives as we speak...
BTW, is there a direct announced for 3DS?

You got invitations to interview but the pr people wont tell you what game or who its with?
Other than Reggie's comments last year, this is the most recent quote about it by Yamada:

So no, people expecting it could be disappointed.

Yeah the GIF was made before adding more.
They have shown 0 seconds of footage of Wonderful 101 in the last Direct. They just showed the logo and the date. It'll definitely be featured in the next one.
However, since they apparently hold back footage of Wonderful 101 on purpose, I'd assume that this means that they won't show a lot of the other games that were shown in the Summer Direct. Otherwise it would be weirdly inconsistent.
