GI's Nintendo E3 2005 Predictions

While Microsoft has been leaking information about its upcoming 360 hardware like a water filled baby sitting in a pool, Nintendo and Sony for that matter will be a little trickier to predict. While an industry joke that Nintendo once stated at E3, “Nintendo is an open door company” with information, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Alas, Nintendo is cooking up a few things that they’re planning on revealing in their booth and at their press briefing on May 17th. While we don’t know everything, we do have some interesting predictions, and rumors about the company's plans for E3 2005.



* The Legend of Zelda will be one of the primary focuses for Nintendo at E3, and we will learn the official name of the game, and the reason behind showing the howling wolf at the end of the GDC trailer.
* There will be three different levels of The Legend of Zelda playable on the show floor, as well as a Legend of Zelda theater where they’ll show off additional footage.
* While Mario 128 will not make an appearance on the GameCube at this year’s E3 (cough…Revolution), we will see first and second party titles such as Pokemon XD, Mario Baseball, Geist, Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball, Odama, Donkey Konga 3, Mario Party 7, and Fire Emblem.
* A surprising number of GBA titles will be getting sequels on the Nintendo DS, including a possible appearance for another Mario & Luigi.
* The next Mario DS title will be playable on the show floor.
* Mario Baseball won’t be the only Mario sports title revealed at E3.
* The “true” successor to the Game Boy Advance will not make an appearance, but that’s not to say there won’t be any interesting portable announcements from Nintendo.
* While GameCube will have an wide assortment of games on the show floor, expect to see almost as many, if not more Nintendo DS titles revealed, and playable
* The Nintendo DS online strategy will be revealed, the company’s online and wireless partnerships, as well as a time table on when the service will begin
* Nintendo will reveal what titles will be playable online with the Nintendo DS including Mario Kart DS and Animal Crossing DS.
* Nintendo will reveal Wi-Fi instant messenger software, and other application software for the Nintendo DS
* Nintendo will reveal new colors for the Nintendo DS and the Game Boy Advance
* The Revolution will not be televised. We may see a technical demo and some video, but the system itself will not be shown nor have any games playable on the show floor.
* While the hardware won’t be shown, there will be sweeping and general announcements, the official name revealed, and we will learn about some of the specifications of the system, its wireless and online functionality, and what will set the Revolution apart from the other next generation systems.
* Nintendo will announce that they will reveal more on the Revolution at a Space World show in August, or the Tokyo Game Show in September.
* Mario Kart GP – The new arcade version of Mario Kart that will be in Japanese arcades this fall will be playable on the show floor
* There will be less third party exclusive game announcements for the GameCube than any other console at E3.

I have a prediction for the Sony conference:

They will set a new record for snores in a press conference (yes, even surpasing the infamous Nintendo 2003 conference)

.....due to Spreadzilla!
 
Wow,that will be a shitty E3 for Nintendo if all that is true...this kinda contradicts what Johnny is saying in the other thread...

I could not be less excited. I bought Nintendo for platformers and action games. If these are their main titles, this sucks.

GI can't list titles that haven't been announced yet.*

*except for Mario Party 7, apparently.
 
These sound less like predictions than basically a leak of what's going down with Nintendo this year.

Based on that I predict:

*I will be very bored and fall asleep in the Nintendo booth.
 
A new Game Boy Advance will be shown.
And even a spotty moron could find out its development name if he looked in the right places and applied a Colonised Bee's interstitial way of thinking.
:)

Don't ask me what it'll be like though. I have no idea.
 
Wow, so GI figured out that Nintendo will be focusing on the DS? Real industry insider stuff there.

The real scary predictions are for Microsoft. If they have no first party 360 games available for the general crowd, WTF will they have in their booth?! There's no way that one is true.

Wow, that covers... pretty much anything, doesn't it? Play-Yan, upgraded DS, fourth pillar, Trancevibrator, Nintendo announcing anything other than just a game for a portable market makes that true.

Man, how can they go out on a limb like that and make such bold predictions?
 
* The Revolution will not be televised. We may see a technical demo and some video, but the system itself will not be shown nor have any games playable on the show floor.

if they show gameplay video of something really hot looking, like a next gen mario with incredible graphics it will generate enough hype to last for months...

don't forget that zelda stole the show with just a trailer last year. Mario has the same kind of potential, and a next gen mario with sick graphics has even more potential...

even if thats all they do, they'll have a good show... i'm hoping for a little more though.

Will it downgrade to just a new color before you're through? :lol

Dude, shut up. You spread so much bullshit, you advertise your site often on here, and frankly, I can't recall a single thing that your site has predicted that has EVER come true.

Or, Nintendo invited the press up to Seattle on Monday to check out their E3 lineup and GI is spilling the beans while labeling it as a "prediction" to avoid the wrath of NOA :)
 
These prediction made me clap...and I didn't even use my hands.

Want a list?
If you weren't such a boring lazy troll you'd realise that the development name for the new GBA to be shown at E3 is already available using the clues. I can't post or I'd be roasted by lawyers. So I thought that was quite good to be honest - it's there to be had. If you don't like it, I guess that's up to you. I thought it was this kind of thing that made GAF strong, a worthwhile place. Perhaps I was wrong and it's actually angry bedroom-dwelling hate-posters like yourself that underpin this forum?
Whatever, one day I'll be gone so you can get back to list-topics about your favourite 16-Bit era RPGs or whatever it is that won't make you spit venom. If you want it, it's there.

And Kobun. ;)
:)
 
You can't post it on the forums, but yet you can say "HEY GUYS THE NEW GAMEBOY WILL BE ANNOUNCED AT E3!!" on your site? :lol

I hate the fact that I am sitting here, puzzling over this sentence and trying to derive what the meaning behind the text is.

WHY am I doing this?

Because you believe Folder is somewhat credible (for whatever reason)?
