[Xv Elite vX]

All aboard the hype train. Im excited enough for all of us.

 

[Fantastical]

Think we are getting some leaks before W3 like Galaxy, 3D Land and NSMB? Like someone taking pictures inside the booths?

Galaxy? Did that leak?

 

[Scum]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure what would kind of game you could make that would need three screens though? I guess something like NintendoLand 2, continuing with the asynchronous multiplayer stuff.

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles will put those Gamepads to good use.

 

[bomb]

Allllllll Aboarrrrrrrrrrrrd!

 

[Qurupeke]

Project Hammer!

 

[Sadist]

OH BOY I hope my Bingo Card is reasonable!

On the realistic expectations side, I'm just going for Wind Waker HD, 3D Mario, Mario Kart U, Smash Bros at the Direct. Evertything else is a bonus.

 

[Yondy604]

Q for my friendly Gaffers: Do you think their is any chance at all we see a new breath of fire, or better yet a lufia game being announced?.

I believe they are two of the most under-appreciated franchises of all time. Even if it's a remake or VC or a new game entirely.

 

[Xv Elite vX]

Im diggin the Star Tropics square for sure!!

 

[MikeXXIeaf]

Oh wow those teases! I wonder what they could be!

Honestly, I don't want Capcom to touch BoF at their current standing. If they are going to ask Level 5 or other company to help out with BoF then sure, I would like that.

Chance is ZERO at the moment for now.

 

[Risgroo]

Do I win?

 

[Yondy604]

Do I win?

You missed bubsy HD

 

[dampflokfreund]

Did I miss something or why is everyone hyped for no reason again? Remembered a lot of doom&gloom 4 hours ago.

 

[awm8604]

Can't wait. I'm on the hype train.

An hour is fine for just 1st-party, but it needs to be packed from beginning to end.

 

[Mr Swine]

Galaxy? Did that leak?

Well didn't leak a few days before the conference?

 

[ffdgh]

Bingo so soon? I'll wait for more cards.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

they have promised to show so many AAA titles, is 1 hour enough for all of them?
including 3rd parties?

Heck Microsoft have 15 exclusives to cover in 90 minutes - this is doable.

 

[AGoodODST]

An hour long? Pretty decent length.

Just please Nintendo, please do not spend too long going over Pikmin 3 and New Super Luigi U.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Heck Microsoft have 15 exclusives to cover in 90 minutes - this is doable.

Apparently, Microsoft is also hosting one hour conferences every day of E3, presumably to go into greater detail on the games they've shown with more footage and developer interviews. This E3 will be fantastic.

 

[hatchx]

Heck Microsoft have 15 exclusives to cover in 90 minutes - this is doable.

Is it confirmed that they were planning to show them all at this e3? 15 exclusives could be trickled out over the next 2-3 years. I expect some of them will only appear as teaser trailers at this e3

 

[cacildo]

90 Minutes of microsoft?

Jesus! They will say "experiences" 1billion times!

better chance of gettin a megaman out of capcom and lufia is unlikely because the devs are busy finding success w rune factory

 

[D-e-f-]

Can somebody add the "only for" to my Avatar. I'm such a noob ......

Being "realistic" is boring.

Made mine for the Bingo thread.

Everyone realized that cynicism is stupid.

No, MS said at their event on stage that these 15 titles will launch within the first year.

 

[Coolwhip]

There should be actual rewards for the bingo. Then it could be fun tbh.

 

[Lord Azrael]

I hope I make Bingo

lol This is amazing

But seriously why no North American releases in July?

 

[wsippel]

Said it several times already, but I'll gladly say it again: Retro's new title entered the testing phase back in March or April, and I think Retro's already gearing up for their next project, so their Wii U debut could certainly see a release later this year. After hiring lots of former Vigil staff for this game, their latest additions (for the next project I guess) are mostly from Junction Point and Intific. The latter is kinda strange, as the Intific guys joined Retro shortly after Bryan Walker left Retro for Intific.

I also wonder what Headstrong, Next Level and Monster got cooking...

Yea I probably should've switched X and Retro ... too late now

I kinda want both this year LOL (still believe that's not entirely impossible)

also made a promo poster with Rösti's template:

Is this true? Loved the Darksiders games, so I would see this as a good thing. Nintendo unfortunately never had enough teams for all the IP's they own, maybe it's time to get even more people on board?

 

[Smellycat]

I just noticed that it says "LIVE" on the ND website. Did the previous directs say that?

Yea I could see Nintendo doing what they did with Retros other game DKCR show it off at E3 and then releasing it in NOV.

X will prob be Japan this year and Retro game will be NA/Europe this year

Do you know what Retro's game is?

 

[fredrancour]

Yeah I'm pretty sure the who-they-hired stuff is confirmed from stalking people's linkedIn profiles.

 

[Scum]

Do you know what Retro's game is?

WinBack remake.

 

[javac]

Do you know what Retro's game is?

StarTropics?

 

[wsippel]

It is. It's mostly art staff (primarily character and concept artists), and I believe mostly from the Dark Millenium (canceled Warhammer 40k MMO) team, though some of the guys worked on Darksiders as well.

 

[skull kid]

WinBack remake.

that's good, Jean Luc. You're doing well.

 

[Coolwhip]

Wsippel probably knows. Nod your head if it's Metroid or touch your nose if it's Star Tropics.

 

[methodman]

Wsippel probably knows. Nod your head if it's Metroid or touch your nose if it's Star Tropics.

And if it's star tropics X Metroid do both

 

[dampflokfreund]

I hope it's Metroid in Prime style.

 

[bridegur]

Wave Race, please, please, please.

 

[JoeInky]

Do I win?
.

Lol at Metroid X Dredd.

Mama is not THE BABY

I am THE BABY

 

[burst]

It would be nice to see retro actually given free reign, and create a IP. It has been a long time since raven blade, nfl etc. I wonder how many of the staff from early 2001 are still there, considering they had some turbulent time over the years.

Bryan Walker, that clever guy, being a double agent ALL ALONG!!! :O Sneak into another company, kidnap them Nintendo Ninja style and bring them back to Retro, GENIUS!

But WTF is Intific anyway? Saw their site, I think some sort of engineering company?

How many from Junction Point did they hire? I was always hoping Paul Weaver would jump to Retro, being a higher-up from Rare back in the day.

 

[Drago]

lol This is amazing

But seriously why no North American releases in July?

Because Nintendo doesn't want to celebrate my birthday month with the two Nintendo games I desire most. Boohoo.

Spoiler

In all seriousness I have no idea. JP/EU have Flipnote, NSLU Retail, M&L4, Pikmin in July and they're all August in NA for some terrible reason

 

[wsippel]

Do you know what Retro's game is?

No idea. And the team they've composed seems strange. They've hired several experts in the field of large scale/ open world environments, a very experienced level designer who worked on everything from Enemy Territory to Modern Warfare (former Xatrix/ Gray Matter, Monolith Productions and Pi Studios dude), and artists specializing in (dark) fantasy stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Metroid, but I don't really think that's what they're working on.

Didn't Next Level just finish Luigi's Mansion 2?
And while they have said they started on a new game.. wasn't under the impression was big enough to have a game far along in development to show.

HeadStrong was QA testing at the start of the year I believe.. let me see

Saw this on twitter not sure who accurate

What's some of the games HeadStrong made?

 

[Stulaw]

I'm wondering if Wind Waker HD will have Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks remade in HD, and then maybe they could call it The Hero of the Winds HD collection, or something that sounds better. That or somehow make Linebeck have a cameo in WW.

Yeah that was known for a year I think.

And Headstrong made Battalion Wars, House of the Dead Overkill, and pitched Jet Set Radio for Wii.

 

[The_Intruder]

The house of the dead overkill, and battalion wars (old member of kuju entertainement i guess)
