After Iwatas looking at a banana and now the flirting with Samus (goddamn how that sounds^^) I'm inclined to agree.
Im thinking we will see either Metroid or Star Fox and Im basing it on this
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/07/06/miyamoto-discusses-metroid-on-wii-u
"With Metroid it's very easy to imagine some interesting implementation for Wii U," Miyamoto mentioned. "I think that having another screen with the gyro built in really gives you a lot of interesting opportunities for development, and we can bring a lot of our games to life in a completely unique way with that."
"I feel like the possibilities of the GamePad for Metroid could be really fantastic," Miyamoto told me at a different point in our conversation. "There's certainly a lot that you could do there for that game."
Yet the one that Miyamoto really wants to see? The Nintendo executive didn't give any details, but noted that "personally" the franchise he wants most on Wii U is Star Fox. Here's hoping one day Miyamoto's wish - alongside millions of Nintendo fans - is realized on the HD system.

Reggie just kind of came out of no where(For me at least.). His confidence and, dare I say, charisma really shined through in that conference. I think he's still got it, but the last two E3s he hosted have been pretty lack luster as far as presentation goes.
I kind of hope he is front and center in the digital event stream. Iwata is great, but his broken English is sometimes detrimental to the pacing and accessibility of these videos.

I don't want to derail the thread any further so this is the last post I will make on this matter but....
The WiiU has caused Nintendo to lose about half a billion dollars in operating income over the last two years. Their market share is nearing non-existent in home consoles and dedicated handhelds is a business sector with ever nearing expiration date.
The "WiiU needs to be replaced ASAP thing" is the only logical and sane thing the good people at Nintendo are thinking about. Anything else is folly.
As for Iwata, he's a super nice guy. I like him. Those Nintendo Directs are Great stuff.
He got the impact of mobile wrong, he got online infrastructure wrong, he got the impact of HD development costs/timing wrong, he has launched his last two pieces of hardware at inflated prices with barren software lineups which caused dented hype and slow hardware sales.
On the 3DS he has been able to correct some of these issues, mainly because Japan is still very into handhelds for the time being, but you are deluding yourself if you think Iwata's leadership/initial instincts have been a good thing for Nintendo in the last 5 or 6 years.

Pretty much this. I really thing that if we don't see at least a token mention during E3 we might be seeing the end of any potential releases of DQ, at least until next gen.
Interesting. Do you think this hypothetical next-year console will be a contemporary with the PS4/XOne in terms of power?
EDIT: Nvm if you're done talking about it.
There we go.
3DS
Majora's Mask remake
MH4
maybe an eShop game

maybe another Next Level Games reveal?

Next Level should be back on their WiiU game, actually.
Pulling your punches is bad though.
Why not?
It's been two years and now they have the ALBW staff helping.
It been almost 3 year since Skyward sword,it should be really far by now.
They were apparently going to show it last year. If there isn't a gameplay reveal by now, that's ridiculous.

Since Nintendo doesn't watch to touch F-Zero, hopefully we at least finally see Fast Racing Neo. "Soon" is getting to be a long time.
I think they will have a playable demo.
Heh, heh, heh.
At Both E3s?
...it's possible... but I'm not banking on it.

I bet Nintendo embraces the F2P model with open arms and I bet they have the good taste to do it right with payment models that offer clear value and are not designed in a shitty and sinister way.
Animal Crossing is ripe for it. Animal Crossing F2P on WiiU would be encouraging.
F-Zero or Wave Race are also well designed for it if the online play is there.
EDIT: Mario Golf/Tennis would also work well with F2P.
I think Sub Wars and Wii Sports Club were little test runs in the pay as you go model for Nintendo and they will jump right into at this E3 or next.
I also think Nintendo has the good taste to know what games are good with F2P and which are definitely not.

At this one. It will release before next E3.
When it comes to Nintendo hype threads, there is no such thing as too optimistic predictions.
Zelda U.
In stores June 11th.
I could see it being their big spring game next year.

The only way they can screw up the Zelda reveal is if it's shown to be a top down game( The"Celda" backlash would be child's play compared to that) I don't think that will ever happen, but it's Nintendo. They're prone to doing odd things.
I don't think its top down, but I think it will build on ideas from albw in other ways, like non linear dungeons and more twists to the formula.

They should use the Zelda Symphony- Gerudo Valley Orchestrated theme to reveal the game
This music is a well-oiled operative hype machine all by itself, especially with the build up a the beginning
I hope it is not like Albw non linear dungeons.

Atlus is developing the game, not Intellgient Systems, if that helps or makes things worse
And not all turn based is "bland and boring"
OMG, that would be so great. Would make for a pretty nice length trailer too! o.o
Although the main theme would probably make me shit my pants, too.

Going by what they've been saying I'm sure that'll be the case. They're usually pretty good at taking the best ideas from past games, and revitalizing them. Personally, I'm kind of hoping they don't take too much inspiration from ALBW. It was a fun game, but I wasn't a huge fan of the simplistic dungeon/puzzle design(Which I blame on the whole non-linear overworld/item shop deal).
Miyamoto has expressed his feelings towards wanting one on the Wii U. I think itd be a fun use of the second screen, and the Wii U really needs these AAA games that give a great two screen solo experience.
Itd be neat to see something like fox's ships control panel, with whatever they come up with, on the gamepad. As well as his companions chiming in on the gamepad, to give a little boost of immersion hearing a seperate audio from the TV.
Oh, and use the fur tech from DKTF!
I'm thinkin' we'll see Metroid in some form or another, which makes me excited. I don't think it'll be Retro working on it, though, which makes me worried.
My personal hope when it comes to Zelda is that they don't use the art style from the HD demo thing. I get that the fidelity was nice, but the actual style left something to be desired, in my opinion. I was never a big fan of the TP art style.

It wont look like the tech demo.
Personally I can't for the life of me get why they refuse to have a difficulty selection, like any other game. One difficulty does not fit all players.
Aonuma hinted at tougher difficulty and no hand holding iirc so that gives me hope
Right, because than they technically already revealed Zelda U.
Its said that hyrule will look like a place we have never imagined. So thats exciting, i hope.
Why not?
On a personal level, I'm going to argue that they are. I'm sorta tired of being afflicted with the tedium and monotony of mindlessly clicking through menus, and all the other things that bother me that are inherent within that specific sub-genre now. I'd rather spend my money on games that do more/something different.
No zelda has ever look liked its tech demo.

Yeah just compare OoT and MM to the N64 demo, or Twilight Princess and Wind Waker and Skyward Sword to the Spaceworld demo.
They somehow managed to get consistently better
After seeing what they've achieved with Mario kart 8 I'm sure my mind will be blown my hype meter is about to burst
Why are you interested in a crossover between two series you find boring to begin with?
