Nintendo has published plenty of S-E games worldwide in the past, including the recent Bravely Default.
Still, I doubt that's what they're revealing tonight.
I know, they're still not having a roundtable for a game that isn't theirs though. Everything points to a proper Nintendo game announcement. Especially with heavy hints about Majora's Mask and a bunch of hints about Metroid.
That's a good point. Like I said, really just wishful thinking on my part. We'll know soon enough, though. (Also, I really liked Paper Mario: Sticker Star, but I know I am part of a minority in that on GAF.)
What's your favourite from the series (Paper Mario, TTYD, Super Paper Mario)? I heard only bad things about SS, that's why I didn't buy it yet.
The announcement for the roundtable has always referred to "game," as in a single game, though. (I just don't want you to be disappointed!)
That's a tough question. I think TTYD > Paper Mario but I love both. I've only started playing SPM recently and am maybe halfway through that and really digging it. Sticker Star can be had these days for like $10. To me it's a must-buy at that price. I was pleased with it even as a full-priced game. It offers plenty of content, it's just--like SPM--a very different kind of Paper Mario game. Think of it this way, I guess: SPM has RPG elements of story and leveling up, but not turn-based battles. Sticker Star is the exact opposite: minimal story and RPG elements in terms of leveling up, but enjoyable turn-based battles. Coin and sticker collection takes the place of traditional leveling up. It's really quite a fun, charming and enjoyable ride of a game, and to me a fitting portable entry in the series. Great OST, too.
Yeah it didn't come off as her doing promo work for Nintendo. It looks like she just wandered on stage with it lol.
That's not to discount the likeliness of MM3D coming. Nintendo knows we want it, they're just toying with us.

Imo, Majora's Mask remake wouldn't qualify as a big game. What would they even want to talk about for an hour? If it, however, was a remake with a Master Quest-like second quest, complete with new dungeons, then I'd be fine with calling it a big reveal. If it was just a straight 3DS-remake of Majora's Mask though, I'd be pissed. I'd hope for either a Collectathon, a new OoT / MM-style Zelda using the OoT engine or a Metroid Prime successor (not Hunters).
I don't know about that. I mean, look at how much work they put into promoting the Dragon Quest games in the US around the release of DQ9. This level of promotion could have been part of the deal for Square to develop it.
Also, Nintendo published Bravely Default here. Maybe they're publishing this.
As far as I'm concerned this is now the most likely candidate.
Didn't Wind Waker HD have an added master quest? I could see Nintendo doing the same for Majora's Mask 3DS.

Wind Waker had some stupid difficulty adjustments that just made hearts disappear and enemies dealing more demage. I was thinking of a proper Master Quest that doesn't destroy the balance of gameplay elements for an extra dosage of tedium. Including new dungeons.

Eh that was an established very successful mainline game, this is a spin off. Besides Nintendo's not exactly the begging position Bravely Default outsold LR first month in America.
SE has an incentive to make games for the 3DS without Nintendo having a major hand.

Same here. What a shame, I don't have any interest in Final Fantasy at all.
I guess? I'm not saying that it is definitely the secret game, I just think it's the most likely candidate given that it hasn't been shown at E3 up to this point and the Final Fantasy brand is still big enough to warrant a bit of attention.
If anything, I would say that this is a bit of a tweener. It's not quite a megaton, but it is of sufficient stature that it is a valid candidate, especially since it hasn't been shown anywhere else yet. The timing is just so suspicious.
That's the issue all around. Majora's Mask would be a megaton for me and a lot of us, but why would they specifically do a roundtable for it?

Guys, they're having developers talk about the game with journalists, in a Nintendo roundtable, announced by Nintendo. Yet you think we'll see SE developers talk about a FF game and Nintendo's involvement is only publishing?
I don't see this at all. Also I think Nintendo has never had E3 roundtables about third party stuff, could be wrong though.
For me it's Paper Mario > TTYD, but yeah, both are amazing, Super Paper Mario has a nice mechanic, but for me it was kind of a letdown (uninspired enemies, not much freedom, lackluster plot, felt detached from the Mario world canon). I already heard the minimal story stuff, and that's a major turn-off for me, are there enough secrets, hidden or optional things? By the way SS isn't $10 here, more like 37,90 (Amazon, the nearest physical store is 1 hour away from me and only has new games anyway), which is around $51...

Indeedy. No way I'm staying up on a work night for potentially another FF spinoff.

It would be funny if it's some kind of Wii music 3DS game eh guys?
They had an E3 roundtable for OoT 3D in 2010.

I'd honestly say nah. Nintendo surely has some sort of major game in development for the 3DS in 2015 rather than some third party game. Doesn't make logical sense for it not to be unless the plan to drop major first party support for a while. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence for the handheld if your major game is a third party especially for the 3DS.
I think it's more that they focused all of their attention on getting the Wii U some positive press to try convince the world that it is still alive. Once the dust settles I'm sure we'll get more 3DS news.
Given the 3DSs install base, they aren't close to abandoning it. Smash is going to be a monster release. Persona Q should be a big seller (at least in Japan) and now we have the FF announcement. Smash is the big anchor title for the remainder of 2014, but I'm sure they will be announcing some additional titles to fill in around that.
IMO the roundtable game, if it isn't MM or FF, is going to be an anchor title for 2015.
Really? Wow, that completely throws me off then. I had expected some degree of special importance given the length of the thing.
lol

Would take any Metroid game at this point, 3DS is a fantastic platform for if.
One question tho.
How does the hardware compare with the GameCube? Could we be seeing a Prime trilogy remake for 3DS? Or is the handheld not powerful enough to do it justice?
My dream scenario would be a 2D Metroid in the vain of fusion or Super Metroid but have a feeling it's a remake/update of some sort if anything

The dev rountable in 2011 was also focused on OoT.
These things are almost always about Zelda. It's going to be Zelda.
These things also never run the full time. It won't be 90 minutes
Yes, combined with the fact that they just really want a Metroid game.

If it's a roundtable, does that mean it's not going to be streamed?

Not happening, they're focused on the WiiU entry, but I'd come.

Wasn't there more than just Zelda? I can't remember a 90 minute event focused on Zelda.
