I know Fire Emblem just released, but I wonder what Intelligent Systems is working on now.

We don't know, but they're rumored to be working on an unannounced Wii U game (unless it was just SMT X FE, but they may be almost exclusively Atlus). They've worked on:

Fire Emblem Awakening
Pushmo/Crashmo 1 + 2
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Game & Wario
Daigasso Band Bros. P (most recent)

On the two newest consoles, so far.
 
Maybe Intelligent Systems is doing Paper Mario for Wii U on top of co-developing Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei with Atlus.
 
Fire Emblem X SMT? Or is it Atlus working on that?

It's being done by both of them, but wouldn't IS be able to work on another game independently at the same time? Or would they be devoting their full development time to FExSMT?

Fire Emblem Awakening came out in April 2012 in Japan, it did not just come out.

You're right! I was thinking more from an NA perspective. Forgot that it released in Japan first.
 
Maybe I don't understand the gravity of the situation here, but I don't expect anything mind-blowing. At all.

That's probably the best expectation to go with.

Reggie: I would just like to take a second to make an announcement: We have great content coming. Okay, that's it. Let's see some of these new trailers for games not coming out to our consoles!
 
It's going to be an hour long loop of Reggie saying, "PLAY THE GAMES" on one side of the stage and Iwata saying, "Please understand" on the other.
 
Ideal scenario: Smash Bros release date, Zelda U 30 second teaser, 4th Tropical Freeze character

That would hardly be ideal, but about the best i would expect.

Smash bros date: interesting for the fans, and for the select few who intend to buy a Wii U only then.
Zelda U trailer... showing it isn't going to sell more consoles now, everybody knows it's coming, and those who will buy for Zelda, will only do so when it releases.
DKC... revealing a 4th character for this game would be like yelling in the desert. Seriously, who cares. Nobody is suddenly going to buy the game because of it, if they weren't already, let alone buy a Wii U for it.

So, while this may all be fan-service, i hope they use their coverage time more wisely, to persuade the non-Nintendo die-hards to buy the system. On the other hand, given their track record, your scenario may be too generous yet.
 
I don't know why people are expecting some conference like set of reveals from this. I can imagine 2 or at most 3 trailers from this. And I wouldn't doubt Reggie would promote the actually successful 3DS with a trailer for some game.

Ya know, just because you're on the Internet it doesn't make it okay to be racist...
 
Is it racist to make fun of how other people articulate English? I don't think it's racist but douchy it is for sure.

He's deliberately making fun of Japanese people. So yes, it is racist.

He's making fun of Japanese people... with something that has absolutely nothing to do with race. There are Japanese people who speak perfectly good English with no accent. Did they "swap" races?
 
Nintendo hungry fans ;p
I suspect that IF they'll show something, and not limiting their presence to get some prize for Mario World or Zelda ALBW, they could still push those games, or show the next incoming title, aka DK Tropical. Or, if we are happy, some new footage for Kart/Smash.
I can't really see them announcing something new.
 
I think two of the following trailers (in order of likeliness): DKC, MK8, Braverly Default, ... , Marionette, Reggie's resignation (that sounds so good), SSB


Isn't the developer busy with Art Academy U?

Probably, dunno how big they are + whether they could support two projects.
 
I remember when Marionette was first whispered about and people thought it was going to be a Mario game.
 
>New Smash trailer
>Snake is back
>New challenger: Bayonetta joins the battle
>New Bayonetta 2 trailer
>The original Bayonetta announced to be ported in a definitive version prior to launch of Bayonetta 2
>One more trailer: Zelda U
>Minds blown
