I don't know what I will do if Nintendo does the Mother Trilogy. 3DS is perfect for the games.

I would like a new Metroid too, they have been teasing it a lot.

But man...Mother deserves to get more people to play it. I honestly think Mother 3 is the best written game I've ever played.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

And brought her own majoras mask? For what?

Exactly my thinking, I highly doubt she owns a lifesize Majora's Mask and even if she did I don't think she would have brought it all the way to a theater during a Smash event. It's pretty obvious that Nintendo gave it to her to tease MM 3D or Majora's Mask related project.

 

[Banjotanooki]

Majora's Mask is also her very first Zelda game and holds a special place in her heart:

Mother 3 or Majora Mask

 

[BorkBork]

Why do people want Majoras Mask 3d again? Is it because they don't own a Wii and wanna pay 40 instead of 10 dollars? It's up right now. Ten bucks, wiis are cheaper than 3ds right now. Give me a new metroid or F Zero 3dx instead.

There are a ton of UI and gameplay improvements that could make Majora a much better gaming experience. Grezzo did a great job with OOT - there's no reason they couldn't do the same for MM.

 

[Hours Left]

I feel the Earthbound vibes for some reason.

 

[watershed]

Hey did Zelda Williams show up at E3 yet? She said she was gonna do something special for E3.

 

[Pseudo_Sam]

I feel the Earthbound vibes for some reason.

Nintendo Klassics Kollection™ with Majora's Mask, Mother 3, Metroid Dread, and the Half-Life 3 beta all on the same cartridge.

Keeping expectations low

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Hey did Zelda Williams show up at E3 yet? She said she was gonna do something special for E3.

She was part of a 'celebrity match' at the Smash Invitational earlier today. She brought a massive Majora's Mask model onto the stage during the match as well.

 

[Grief.exe]

Hey did Zelda Williams show up at E3 yet? She said she was gonna do something special for E3.

She showed up during the Smash tournament with Majora's Mask, but I believe she said that she still has something special planned for later.

 

[Livingskeletons]

I'm gonna laugh when its Nintendogs 3DS

 

[Banjotanooki]

She appears at 0:41 with something very special...

 

[FunkyMunkey]

MAJORAS MASK 3DS into my veins

 

[Box]

Why do people think it's Metroid? I haven't been completely keeping up.

 

[Mr. RPG]

Why do people think it's Metroid? I haven't been completely keeping up.

Reggie said he was going to wear a Metroid pin tomorrow.

It's crazier to think MM would be announced tomorrow really though.

 

[ChaosXVI]

It's definitely going to be a game that starts with M in the title somewhere....

New Super Mario Bros. 3.
;__;

If it's Metroid Nintendo wins E3 definitively, but I can't allow myself to get burned 4 E3s in a row...

 

[StreetsAhead]

So, Metroid Zero Mission is coming to Japanese Wii U VC on June 19th.

All I'm saying.

Incidentally, Pac-Land and Pac-Man Collection are coming on June 11th now.

 

[jwluther]

It's not Majora's Mask. They're not spending 90 minutes on a port.

It's Mother 3, Metroid, or some new IP.

 

[2SeeKU]

90 minute session?

Too long for one game. My bet it is an Amiibo tie in 3DS game, possibly Pokemon related?

 

[MilesTeg]

I just had a thought...Majora's Mask 2. Imagine Aonuma secretly laughing inside at people clamoring for MM3D, when he has something so much better in mind. Would explain the 90 minute round table, as well as exactly why it's taken Greezo so long to get this out.

Would Nintendo really let Greezo do this with limited help from Zelda team though? Maybe they were so impressed with Ocarina they gave them the go ahead with Aonuma supervising? Maybe after ALBW was wrapping up some of those people jumped in with Greezo?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

It's not Majora's Mask. They're not spending 90 minutes on a port.

It's Mother 3, Metroid, or some new IP.

Like I said I bet they announce both. Nintendo wants to keep attention all week.

 

[Grief.exe]

I can't imagine Nintendo spending 90 minutes of any game that is currently in development.

 

[HerbertFish]

Past Nintendo Wednesday Developer Roundtables:

2013: Pokemon X and Y
2012: Miyamoto, focus on Pikmin
2011: Miyamoto, focus on Zelda: OoT, again
2010: Miyamoto, focus on Zelda: OoT
2009: Miyamoto, zomg first Zelda Wii info
2008: Focus on AC: Wild World
2007: Focus on Zelda DS



These had their roots originally at GDC, which were also Zelda focused. It'll be an upset if it isn't Zelda

As much as I would like a sequel to the greatest Zelda game, I kinda doubt it,

Majora's mask had its story and pretty much ended on a happy note. I'd love Nintendo to prove me wrong though, there's always room for more masks!

 

[jwluther]

She showed up during the Smash tournament with Majora's Mask, but I believe she said that she still has something special planned for later.

This is false. The tweet in question was posted before the Smash tournament. That was her "something special."

 

[Aaron Strife]

Hey, what if the panel is actually about the new Zelda for Wii U and they throw in the Majora's Mask announcement there?

Zelda U is screaming for more details and Nintendo still hasn't put up a trailer for it on their Youtube account. It'll probably be a general Zelda panel.

 

[co1onel]

This is false. The tweet in question was posted before the Smash tournament. That was her "something special."

Regardless, the mask she brought on stage is really suspicious.

 

[nordique]

I'm thinking majora mask remake

I'm hoping metroid - but majora remake would be awesome too

 

[Grief.exe]

I'm just regurgitating false information I read then.

Wouldn't that be a pretty massive bait and switch? Of course people are excited to hear about the new Zelda U, but this event was scheduled as a 3DS unveiling.

 

[hughesta]

How will Nintendo spend a 90 minute roundtable focused on a remake?

I'm excited to find out! I want Metroid/Mother as much as anybody else, but I'm really not expecting them. Majora's Mask is amazing, and I'm excited to see what Nintendo has (had Grezzo) do.

The last two Zelda games had their first poster unveiled at this same exact event so that'll almost certainly be the case. But I still wouldn't expect a ton of information On the Wii U side of things

 

[Laconic]

Dragon Quest XI, pretty please.

 

[Interface23]

Oh sweet jesus let it NOT be Metroid because that would mean a console one won't be coming for a looooong time.

Who says? Fusion and Prime came out the same day IIRC.

 

[Crayolan]

Hints we've got to what this could be:
-Reggie says he's gonna wear his Metroid Pin. Could be Metroid
-Nintendo made a joke about localizing Mother 3 in their Digital Event. Could be a Mother Trilogy.
-Zelda Williams brought a plush Majora's Mask on stage to the Smash Invitational today, on top of the insane amount of teasing that's been done over the last year in reference to Majora's Mask. Could be MM3D.

If it's not one of those three it's gotta be a brand new IP, which is pretty unlikely.

 

[Ansatz]

Who would develop a 3DS Metroid? EAD Tokyo is on Captain Toad duty as we found out today. And it should launch this year if it exists and is announced tomorrow, so that rules out Retro Studios.

 

[RadarScope1]

Don't kill me but I hope it's not a 2D Metroid. That would mean I would be required to buy a 3DS...

It would have to be Next Level, but I think they could do it. I hope it is...

 

[injurai]

Unless Itoi has had a change of heart and has been playing coi, Mother 4 is not happening, and Mother 3 remake is not getting 90 minutes.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was Metroid or maybe Pikman 3DS.

We just got a new IP today though. What's to say there isn't one in development for 3DS?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It's going to be Steel Diver 2 and you'll like it.

 

[MilesTeg]

It would have to be Next Level, but I think they could do it. I hope it is...

Could Next Level really get a 3D Metroid finished in a little over a year and a half since LM2? IIRC they are only a one team studio.

 

[mariachi507]

I'm expecting MM 3D, which is nice. However, I have been waiting years and have endured many E3 conferences/directs waiting for a Metroid Dread announcement. My heart about stopped when the Xenoblade Chronicles X trailer played because I thought it was Metroid related. Please Nintendo, stop trying to kill me and announce the game!

Spoiler

It's going to be Majora's Mask.

Now watch it be none of those

Mother Metroid and the Masks of Majora

 

[daydream]

Well, none of those are real hints, but the Mother Trilogy one is especially flimsy. Are they supposed to flat-out say "nope, you're never getting a Mother game again, let alone 3, ahahahaha"? Of course they're gonna leave it hanging in the air. Only one they alluded to multiple times is indeed Zelda, that's why it's considered the likeliest of the bunch.

It's always possible it could be something completely new but we wouldn't be able to speculate about that, so no point in thinking about it.

How long were the 2011 and 2010 developer round tables?

Oh yeah I forgot about amiibos. Maybe it's a 3DS game with ambiibo figurines..? Ugh.. I hope not.

 

[dampflokfreund]

What if another 3DS game is announced, as a surprise? So MM 3D+ maybe Metroid.

 

[GhostTrick]

Majora's Mask 3D ? Metroid ? Naaaah. You guys forgot about S.T.E.A.M ?
You know, the trademarked game... there's a huge chance this is it... but also a good chance that it's as unappealing (compared to MM3D/Metroid) as the name :/
