[RyuKanSan]

These are my sentiments EXACTLY.

Really, I approach these conferences expecting the absolute bare minimum from Nintendo.

These are my expectations for the hour-long E3 2013:

- Pikmin 3 gameplay
- Wonderful 101 gameplay
- Wii U Party gameplay and release date
- New Super Luigi U gameplay
- Game and Wario gameplay
- Wind Waker HD gameplay and release date

- Wii U Sports unveil and release window "Holiday 2013"
- Mario Kart U unveil and release window "Holiday 2013"
- 3D Mario unveil and release window "Holiday 2013"
- Smash Bros. U trailer

....That's it. That's literally all that I am expecting from this hour. Not even trailers for Zelda U, Retro's New game, X, or Bayonetta 2.

This way, ANY surprise from Nintendo will fill me up with joy, because it's 100% unexpected.

I learned a while ago that going into Nintendo conferences with high expectations will just leave you disappointed.

imo you can still be realistic and still be hyped. i am hyped to see a new mario and co but i know many people want new IPs and well if they have them, I'm sure they'll show them or at least talk about them like they did with X and possibly SMTXFE is you call that a new IP.

also for why would they show/talk about Luigi U and Game&Wario...i thought that was stuff was already discussed in a previous direct?

 

[Wynnebeck]

Any chances of a new Star Fox?

 

[Volotaire]

I still think we are getting more infos about the next Zelda U game in the E3 Direct. And here's my ultimate proof of that hope:

Yes maybe a piece of artwork and more driving themes of development. Don't expect a massive trailer.

 

[Hakai]

I'm betting it is fake, because as of now Nintendo only has 526 videos, and in this image it shows they have 527 videos, I believe that even if one of them are private Youtube would show the total amount. So yeah betting that it is fake.

 

[D-e-f-]

Guys, stop embarrassing yourselves.

Let's move back to not-made-up hype

 

[BY2K]

Welp, now that this is over.

Back to working on my Bingo Card.

 

[Phazon]

Nintendo is not going to talk 10 minutes about Pikmin again. There's just no way.

I can see them mention Pikmin 3, W101 and Wario, but those would be featured in a sizzle reel trailer, together with the summer third party games, or something like that.


I'm not saying that they are going to unleash one megaton after the other. Nintendo is probably gonna feature SEGA and maybe some other third parties to show their things too.

not sure I understand what you mean..

Yeah isn't Yoshi Yarn a 2013 title?

It's a TBA title.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Maybe after TW101. Hopefully Nintendo actually does give Kamiya the project, since he's been wanting to do it for some time now.

 

[Meelow]

OMG ANOTHER LEAK! Nintendo's ninjas must be dead.

Can we now stop discussing this shit.

I would want this to happen just so I could see reactions lol.

 

[serplux]

Any chances of a new Star Fox?

I wouldn't be surprised.

Maybe after TW101. Hopefully Nintendo actually does give Kamiya the project, since he's been wanting to do it for some time now.

It's going to Dylan Cuthbert and Q-Games and you'll like it.

Yes, that should be clear.

We'll be getting a trailer...since it's coming out this year

 

[PhoenixDawn]

That youtube link is definitely fake, although it doesn't list anything that would be too surprising if it did happen. I think Nintendo will spend more time than expected on Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, as those are games that are coming relatively soon E3 and they will want them to be successful as they have to be the initial sparks to Wii U sales if Nintendo wants this entire Fall/Holiday season to be a true success. Sure, they'll talk some about the new 3D Mario, Mario Kart and SSB4, although those games don't really need extremely long, detailed talks as most people already know how those games are generally going to control and function (outside of graphics). Those 3 main games will probably be explained more in depth at the E3 demos throughout the week plus any other smaller Q&A/presentations they may have.

 

[skull kid]

they mean Zelda U not WW.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

My friends all think Wii U is crap. Even I tell them not to buy it right now. I hope Nintendo can turn it around.

They said they will probably get the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. I warned them that Xbox One might block used games, but they were really confident that it wouldn't happen. I didn't want to press them and claim that I knew more than them, but I do think I follow video game news more than they do. Nintendo's got an uphill battle. Even though we consider Xbox One a disaster so far, UK preorder numbers and the opinions of the general public seem to tell a different tale.

 

[Phazon]

I still think we are getting more infos about the next Zelda U game in the E3 Direct. And here's my ultimate proof of that hope:

'a bit more' has a totally different meaning for Aonuma and Nintendo.

Twilight Princess, presented in 2004, was 'coming soon'.

They'll focus on Wind Waker. Anything about the new Zelda would be a nice extra, but don't count on it.

 

[JoeM86]

Feel like I need to remind people that Nintendo outright said the last Direct was for games released in the Summer, and the next one (June 11) is for games for release in Autumn and beyond. As such, it's incredibly unlikely for Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 to be much more than a footnote within the Direct. They'll be at E3, yes, but not in the E3 Nintendo Direct. I will be very surprised if they are for more than a minute.

Lol some of my friends don't even know what a Wii U is or if it's out.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

guys totally real footage of new super smash bros. leaked on yubtub via nintendo, catch it now before it goes down!

 

[Meelow]

Yes maybe a piece of artwork and more driving themes of development. Don't expect a massive trailer.

Yeah that's the closet thing we will get to Zelda Wii U this year, I don't expect anything for Zelda Wii U at E3 2013 but artwork would make me happy.

Also speaking about Super Smash Bros.4 I hope the online is actually good and stable...Not like Brawl's.

I'm not surprised. The UK is Nintendo's weakest market by far.

Groose's intro is perfect

 

[Kouriozan]

True, I expect a concept art but that's all.

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Yes, the situation is rather dire. Nintendo's efforts have been pretty pathetic, but it's a bit crazy how Xbox One still comes out looking good (to the general public) after their reveal conference while Nintendo just fails to impress even moreso.

Despite our uproar on DRM, it's likely that that public won't care or will remain ignorant on it and still buy Xbox One. That concerns me when it comes to the possibility of PlayStation 4 utilizing such practices. If they know people will buy it regardless, they will be more likely to implement it.

 

[Madouu]

There's no way X won't be shown.

 

[Übermatik]

Well seeing as RETRO haven't finished rendering the cinematics/cutting the final clips for the end of show teaser trailer yet, that has to be fake anyway.

Go on...

We shall see!

 

[chaosblade]

There's no way X won't be shown.

I don't think it would be surprising if it wasn't shown, but I still expect it to be there. Just depends on how far off it is from release.

Well seeing as RETRO haven't finished rendering the cinematics/cutting the final clips for the end of show teaser trailer yet, that has to be fake anyway.

Wut.

That's a bold statement you made here. Care to elaborate?

Eh, not really. It'll take a game like Smash or Mario Kart to get people to realize the Wii U exist, and that they need to buy a console to play the latest one. Nintendo hasn't really started on the marketing until just recently, and they still haven't put up any TV ads yet for it. Once the games start coming starting in August, I expect a really strong advertising push from Nintendo.

To start off with, we'll start seeing Wii U's on TV shows and the like as product placement in the fall. And more late night TV stuff, I know there was Jimmy Fallon's appearance last year, but you can do simple stuff like an 'update' one year later on Fallon and other late night shows. Getting it on Conan, Colbert's, etc would help a lot in terms of marketing.

Quoting this again because it is the matchup of the century, Groose vs Tingle.

 

[D-e-f-]

Ugh, guys stop it. Really.

There's no way X won't be shown.

It's been indirectly confirmed to be shown. There is zero reason to worry.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Technically you are confirming youtube timestamp since you mentioned that it's for end of show.
