Is the Nintendo Direct going to happen immediately following the E3 press event, like last year?

Hm? Why do you have to ask? The start time is in the OP! It's at 7 AM, three hours BEFORE the press event.

Anyone else scared that Nintendo isn't leaking anything because they got nothing? (like e3 2012)

Not at all.

...no.
What was the last actual leak for E3? 3 years ago for DKCR?

We didn't even know that Killer Freaks wasn't Killer Freaks anymore until Ubi's presser!

TUESDAY, JUNE 11
Online via GAMETRAILERS.COM, GT iOS app, GT Xbox Live app

• Noon ET/9:00am PT – ALL ACCESS COVERAGE (Exclusive demos, interviews, debuts, and more)
• 1pm ET/11am PT – Nintendo Hour
• 2pm ET/Noon PT – ALL ACCESS COVERAGE (Exclusive demos, interviews, debuts, and more)

they have screwed up somewhere on their time conversions. there is a three-hour difference between eastern time and pacific time. but for the june 11th schedule, they have "1pm ET / 11am PT" and "2pm ET / Noon PT". no where else on the schedule have they made that goof. the nintendo hour will either be at

1pm ET / 10am PT, or at
2pm ET / 11am PT.

my guess would be the latter, because unless GT has some extra vip insider access before nintendo opens up the games to the media event attendees, that would coincide perfectly with when the media will have access to the new games (11am-12pm PT).

Well we know for sure that they have the new 3D Mario, Mario Kart, and Smash so that's where I'm keeping my realistic expectations. Anything else is just icing on the cake.

Not really. The stuff Nintendo has shown in January + the new Mario game already makes it a decent E3 for me. I'd love to see more new stuff, but I'm not expecting anything except maybe Retro's game.
 
No, right before.

Nintendo press event: 10:30 AM
E3 showfloor opens: 12:00 PM

edit: it wouldn't even make sense the other way around. these events happen before E3 so that people can actually go there and the showfloor isn't deserted for hours.

The Direct is at 7:AM, but what time is the Software Showcase with Reggie and Miyamoto?

E3 2010 hardly had anything leaked other than we knew Skyward Sword would be there, and we heard about DKCR a day before the conference and some titbits about the 3DS.

And that conference was amazing.
 
Guys is this a weird cycle that we're going through here? Insane hype, manifesting in nonsense predictions and fanfic and then the "omfg what if they have nothing!" panic which is then again followed by insane hype with the occasional cynicism thrown in.

Pre E3 in a nutshell. This year will rock.

Goledeneye was leaked as well, and we knew some details of 3DS. Considering how much we knew, it was still godlike.

It is entirely possible we are only going to see Super Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, X, Yoshi, SMTxFE, WWHD. Entirely possible. So set your expectations.

Personally, MK, SM and Smash is enough to get me excited, but I hope they throw us at least one surprise.

Goldeneye was an Activision game so not reaaaaally applicable.

And the 3DS details where what? The official announcement from Nintendo when it said it would reveal a glasses-free 3D handheld at E3? lol :D
 
I see this as a possibility, since Firebrand brought the original to Wii, they should bring TM2 to Wii U.

Yeah. Although I'm not really expecting anything, the fact that it's published by Ubisoft at least makes me slightly hopeful. It'd fill a pretty big racing void on the Wii U.
 
I still remember the days on GAF where we got pics of the showfloor before the pressconference. The showfloor was covered in white sheets(?) but we still could identify which game(s) where there. Back in 2009 we knew before Nintendo's presser they were going to introduce a NSMB game.

I miss those days.

didn't DKCR leak before? how did that happen again?
HAL_Laboratory (member here) leaked it like a week before E3?
 
Why isn't this on their E3 page??? :(((((((((

Okay, this took a little more time than I had planned.

Nice... but wrong!

Here's what this silhouette actually represents:

bayonetta_samusbabyri6rud1.jpg


Metroid: Another M

During her last encounter with Ridley, Samus accidenty absorbed some of the monster's DNA.
Nine months later, she gave birth to a baby Ridley.
Relentlessly pursued by the Galactic Federation and the space pirates, Samus must protect her baby and raise him in the respect of life and peace.
As the genetic memory of Ridley is awakening in the baby, can his mother's love keep him off the path of destruction?
 
My CRAZY dream for the E3 direct (of course not coming true)

Metroid Dead (prime style, epic, brilliant graphics) = Retro Studios

new IP = Retro Studios additionally project ( new dark, maybe gritty and epic Action-Adventure,)

new Zelda U details and artworks, same style as E3 tech demo but better, huge and more free world

Wave Race 4 U = Shinen X Nintendo

F-Zer-U = Sega X Nintendo

StarTropicsU (as other "new" IP = by Miyamotos team

StarFox = Platinum Games X Nintendo, Starfox eats shit and will visit Iwata for a interview next week... in Ninty Asks...

Kingdom Hearts 3 Nintendo Wii U and 3DS exclusively = SQUARE ENIX X NINTENDO

new Earthbound = Next Level Games X NINTENDO

new Advance Wars = Intelligent Systems

New Resident Evil exclusively for Wii U = CAPCOM

+ All the other stuff we know (Mario 3D, WW HD, BAYO, X, YOSHI etc)

+ upcoming 3rd party direct

The whole land is destroyed by Iwata.

How was it?
 
Do people really expect more big 1st party game announcements ? There's so much to look forward to already. The Fall release schedule is gonna be crowded with games plus some games out in early 2014 and beyond. Sure, we know about them, but most of the Wii U titles in particular, we haven't seen how they look or play like. We pretty much had a mini E3s for Wii U and 3DS earlier this year in terms of new game announcements.

Damn, that imagination...
 
ps, i asked in another forum but never heard a response. is there really an overlap with square enix's final fantasy event? that one is apparently at 9am-10am PT, but nintendo's media event isn't until 10:30am-12:00pm PT. why is everyone making such a big deal out of it?
 
Is Reggie going to be interviewed by Geoff again? If so, what questions do we want him to ask? I would like to have some confirmation of a unified account system so if that's not announced around E3 time, I hope there's a question or something about that.

and the mockup, as well as the source of the screen from Sharp.
 
When has Nintendo ever leaked anything? It's very rare that anything leaks on Nintendo before E3.

Lately you hear rumors and not definite leaks. There were rumors that NoA received a DVD in a locked box and it turned out to be the trailer for Other:M.
The best leak was when folks xrayed photos of the E3 floor the night before the conference and revealed New Super Mario Bros Wii.
 
Anyone else scared that Nintendo isn't leaking anything because they got nothing? (like e3 2012)

Well yes. If they still fail to have a proper E3 (and hence preview of the whole year) the third time, not only will it provide another crushing disappointment, but the console is as good as dead as well. :(
What worries me the most is shit like Wii Fit and Party missing in the summer Direct...

Heh, giving birth to a space dragon is kind of creepy
HOT!
but I love the idea of Samus raising a baby Ridley for GREAT JUSTICE.
 
-Reggie comes out, talks about what they did last year(disappoint lots of people, Nintendoland, etc), then re-confirms it's "all about the games"

-Wonderful 101 trailer, looks fuckin' awesome, announces it will be playable at Best Buy

-Pikmin 3 again, yep still Pikmin, also at Best Buy

-"oh hey we have third parties guys believe us" time, sizzle reel of Batman/Ubisoft Games/Batman Again(it's not the same game, it's not the same content)/maybe CoD

-Wii-U Party/Fit time, desperate attempt to grab casual audience, E3-GAF interest slowly dying, "OMG Nintendo fucking up three years in a row!", etc

-Wind Waker HD, still Wind Waker, no new content, enjoy your triforce fetch quest

-Bayonetta 2 trailer shown, has 10 seconds of gameplay, 2014 release. Gameplay is put in GIF form and used in every "Nintendo has no games!" argument on the internet for the next few months(see: dat X gif that gets posted everywhere)

-Mario Kart U is shown. Looks like Mario Kart, alright. Don't go into detail about online play

-Super Mario Universe announced, heavy multiplayer focused, very divisive reaction. Miiverse interaction HEAVILY detailed.

-Retro game shown, ITS MOTHAFUCKIN' STAR FOX THANK YOU BASED IWATA, dudes flying around blowing up shit, pew pew pew, rainbows fly out of my ass, looks like SF64 on steroids, dreams do come true, BELIEVE, etc

-"Before we go...." Smash Bros CGI trailer shown, brief screenshots of work-in-progress, coming in 20XX

Reggie will just avoid answering or downplay the tough questions like he always does. He'll especially do it for Wii U because its performance in 2013 has been so pathetic, there's no way for him to make Nintendo look good by being honest about the situation. Nothing important comes out of those interviews unless there's a game announcement to go along with it like at last year's E3. Reggie will just discuss the big games coming out because that's gonna determine Wii U's future. If Geoff brings up the past, then Reggie will have a look on his face like he'll want to knock Geoff's head off.

Ah ha ha, this is great :D

Also,

That's not really any better or worse than M:OM's story.

that would be really the worst case scenario.
 
I love this logo.

You and me both son, you and me both
i like theire games even better

What i want out if e3, aside from the stuff we already know about/expect like zelda and mario:
-A propper new waverace
-metroid prime 4
-eternal darkness 2
-no crossover fire emblem
-on rails starfox, mostly in arwing
-f-zero with gamecube controller (need them analog triggers for maximum control)
-baten kaitos 3 (will finally push me over the edge to start play bk 1 and bk origins, I have read many positive comments towards those games)

Although all of them is of course not realistic to expect, if we see even one of those I will declare this the best e3 ever in the history of nintendo :)
I do hope we see many if not all of those during wiiu's lifespan.
