Liveblog thread for 3DS new Nintendo IP announcement (Code Name STEAM)

What's the general consensus been in here so far? MM3D? If it isn't that, do you guys think it'll be an existing IP or a new one? Keep in mind that they're spending something like 60-90 minutes on this, so it must be something big.

There wasn't much in the way of information revealed at the Smash roundtable, so I could see this just being a remake.

Sorry folks, no clue what the 3DS announcement is tonight, I'm not part of it, but I have my fingers and toes crossed!

Sounds like exactly what they would WANT you to say....

Why else would she have a Majoras Mask last night? Who gave that to her? Did she bring it herself? Why did they hand it to her right before she went on stage inf front of a record breaking crowd (online)?

Its all a little too coincidental...

She brought it herself. It's her favorite (Zelda) game.

I think it's gonna be a new IP

Calling Zelda a liar?
 
She is the owner of the mask. She said it last night

Yeah.. but it was NINTENDO WHO GAVE IT TO HER!!!!

Dun dun dun!!!!

No but seriously, maybe its totally not then and we all read way too much into it. But regardless, I think all signs still point to it being MM3D. 90 minutes long, you cant spoil anything because its already old as fuck, the teasing with ALBW/Animal Crossing..

Theres more clues other than the mask that allude to it being Majoras
 
My guess is 2D Metroid.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know what Intelligent Systems is maybe doing right now? SMTxFE, if it exists, would be more Atlus right? And I didn't see a Paper Mario like I hoped I would.

So what's Intelligent Systems up to...?
 
0% chance its anything to do with Mother. If I could go less than 0%, I would.

Its either Metroid (please no, save it for WiiU) or Majoras Mask Remake.

Id say its Majoras. All signs are pointing to that.

Plus, MM is the only game you can show for 90 minutes without spoiling anything

They could easily have a 90 min presentation on the development of the Mother series and how this came together. Not saying it's Mother but 90 mins shouldn't change the discussion. They could make a meaty book about its development I'm sure.
 
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Dragon Quest VII published by Nintendo.

90 minutes is a long time for Majora's or a Metroid game, and Bravely Default shows there's a group of people that want jrpg's on 3DS.
 
Lots of people expecting this to be Metroid it seems. What happened that makes everyone think that's it? I mean I guess anything is game, but I'm not going to set my expectations that high.

Reggie wore a Metroid pin yesterday, and said he was planning to wear it today when asked if it had any significance or if hinted at anything.

That's it. Reggie being Reggie.
 
Probably some insignificant third party downport.
 
Hmm, interesting...

Yeah

So there you have it! Greninja is my new Smash go-to favorite, and before you ask, yes the mask is mine ;)

Zelda Williams @zeldawilliams · 20h
So glad you all could enjoy Greninja's finishing move with me! Btw, don't get my wrong, I love Zelda too, but Shiek was my GIRL!

Zelda Williams @zeldawilliams · 20h
Hey @Kotaku! For the record, I will ALWAYS play Zelda in a Smash where Shiek is involved ;)

...that's it? Oh man, well... I guess good luck to everyone hoping it's Metroid. This includes myself, don't get me wrong, but this really could be anything.

Well, within the last year they have released Game and Wario and Pushmo World. We have no idea how much of the workload they are carrying with SMT x FE. As for Paper Mario... the last one was only a year and a half ago. The series on average goes about four years in between releases.
