Buddy, if awesome Star Fox games is the WORST case scenario, I don't wanna live in your world
Smash Bros 4, 3D Mario, Mario Kart WiiU, Zelda WW HD, Zelda WiiU, X, Bayo2, TW101 and STXFE are nothing now?

Why do people keep thinking Zelda Wii-U is showing up at E3 this year
Because Nintendo Direct is unpredictable.
You're reasons are sound and very logical, but we all know that Nintendo is the master of non-sensical things as well. Last year their E3 presser was pretty barebones on new and exciting anouncements, but at the same time they wait until after the show to introduce The Wonderful 101. A few months later they casually drop the news in a Direct again that Bandai-Namco is handeling Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U. Meanwhile, during the Direct broadcast detailing Wii U launch details, they throw in Bayonetta 2 as a Wii U exclusive. In January they show a Wii U Direct and while everyone didn't expect a lot of good news, they gave us pre-announcements regarding Mario Kart, 3D Mario, Smash Bros., Wind Waker HD, Yarn Yoshi, SMT x Fire Emblem and X.
Oh and Iwata mentioned on a later date they have more unannounced games coming this year.
I'm not expecting crazy stuff and Nintendo blowing out everything they've got, but I do keep in mind that Nintendo always has some sort of surprise up their sleeves.
X looks bloody awesome.
Hope
Peer at IGN recently clarified his "new brand" comments and specified the rumors he's heard about Retro's game indicates a new IP. So, perhaps it looks a little less likely they'd be working on Star Fox or any other Nintendo franchise.
That aside, the rest of your predictions (fantasy?) are certainly within the realm of possibility. Personally, I'd hope that with them wanting to regain momentum, they'd at least give Bayo2 a full-fledged trailer. After all, they had a teaser trailer last fall, and a behind-the-scenes dev teaser in January. But who knows...

I don't think we'll see anything physical, but I don't think it's too out of the question to expect them to discuss the game considering they talked about it a few months ago during their last Wii U-heavy Direct.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Thanks
Yeah you're more than likely right, I still enjoy it for what it is though. I'll look forward to see how he spins and dodges Wii U questions.

I don't think it will, but this Direct is a Hail Mary. If they have even the slightest thing that can be shown, no matter how far away it is, they should bring it out.
a direct to rule them all.

If you take off dem nostalgia goggles, you will see that in this very world, shitty space furries should stay in the 90s and if one of the most appreciated Nintendo studios is wasted to make a game with those, it is indeed a bad thing.
If they want to build upon the gameplay (which has been bad in the past entries too), they better take Kid Icarus, Sin & Punishment or something new entirely.

That's really quite a disturbing image.
I just had a thought. If Iwata does get the sack, all the current hype train gifs will be lost forever. That would be a shame.
they need to show off all kinds of stuff. a still/teaser for zelda u shouldn't be impossible, it's not like the game needs to be playable.

So close. WE SO CLOSE!!!
One of the first things they showed off for WiiU was that impressive Zelda HD demo at E3 2011 and they talked about it in Jan. I think they will talk about it at E3

I hope we see at least ONE obscure Nintendo character make the leap to 3D.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Seriously, if Chargin' Chuck shows up in one of the new Mario games, I will cry cum. Just like when Reznor was unveiled for NSMB2.
A true orgasm for the eyes indeed!
Iwata: Bayonetta: Climax Edition includes full fledge Bayonetta 2 trailer, to be released at the same time as the Wonderful 101 demo.

It's getting close...
what is even?
It's happening!!! Or we will just see art work...Which I would be happy with.
It's getting close...
The hell is this?
Go home, Spieler. You're drunk.

I'm with you on that, man. Nostalgia is a hell of a thing.
The cum coming out your eyes sounds painful as fuck though.

Ew. Really?
amazing.
They only did that for Skyward Sword. And the game ended up looking nothing like it.
The art style yes, everything else looked like it.

I'd rather not be reminded of E3 2012.
I don't remember about Twilight Princess, but I'm pretty sure they showed art for Wind Waker. Of course, that was before the true art style was revealed.
Skyward Sword's concept art didn't look exactly the same as the final product, but we got to see Fi, which was enough to get people speculating about the Master Sword being personified in the game.
This, this is good.
(Seen this when I was lurking a previous Direct thread, found it hilarious)
I expect nothing but delays and silence afterwards. I say 2016.
Gameplay probably not, artwork has a good chance.
It was actually teased in another thread, that is why.

I've only been studying web design and development for a few weeks, but I'm confident I can make a better website than the one Retro currently has.
HMU Retro.
HMU Retro.
oh the pikmin intro was great, but it just made the rest 1000 times harder to swallow.
No.
Watching Peer talk Nintendo feels so right. The rest of those people don't seem to know much.
Maybe. Then again, Nintendo shit simply doesn't leak in the first place. X didn't leak. SMT x FE didn't leak. Neither Platinum game leaked. Nintendo is the undisputed master of keeping secrets, well, secret. With them, the one thing you can be sure about is that the absence of information isn't prove that there is no information.

Tell me about it. I visit Retro Studios' webpage frequently and the poorly compressed JPEG renders of Donkey Kong irritates me greatly. Hopefully they get around to making something better once their project has been unveiled.
