I think Super Mario Maker has huge mass market potential. We've only seen the surface of what that game can do. Tomorrow is going to be fantastic.

sadly, most people really focused on who's 'winning' E3 every single year
Yeah, I'm confused too. Dat inferiority complex.

Sony's con was a huge surprise. Just wall to wall insanity with the megatons. Either way we've all won between NWC and Sony. The no doubt charming antics tomorrow from nintendo will be the cherry on top

Potential hype:
1) We've been warned that Zelda won't be at E3 but I don't think that rules out a teaser during the direct or (more ambitiously) a behind-the-scenes showing to the press.
2)Star Fox. I don't know that to expect from it but I'm really curious.
3)Retro. They have to be working on something. If they're making Metroid U, I don't think it'll disappoint. They've created very atmospheric Metroid games on much less powerful hardware.
4)Animal Crossing U. The new AC Amiibo are suspicious aren't they? If ACU exists, I hope they've challenged themselves with this title. How about a graphical leap for the series, a more free camera, more deeply integrated online interaction, a larger town area, expanded mayorial powers?
As others have said, I've been a little surprised at the pre-E3 reveals that Nintendo might have withheld if they didn't have much to talk about at E3.

It's not enough that we should win, other must fail. /s
best game of sony conference with TLG
if people is going to watch the digital event with sony's conference in mind, they're set for disappointment
Regardless of what everyone else is doing, Nintendo will have a great showing tomorrow and that's all that really matters. They already did a lot for us - NWC turned out to be an incredible experience. And we'll see more on Mario Maker, Star Fox info, what Retro and Next Level games are up to, probably Animal Crossing. Not to mention they've always got some unexpected bombs to drop. F-Zero or Paper Mario U anyone...?
Oh and they'll acknowledge Zelda in some form. Maybe a small development update.

Do you think they'll spend more time on Yoshi aside from a trailer and release date. I'm mean they've already shown the game off today and yesterday and the release is so close in other regions.
My only crazy wish I still entertain is Metroids for both consoles in celebration of the 30th anniversary next year. Otherwise I'm pretty content.
My ultra super crazy wish is an adapter that connects b the Gamepad to a Wii Remote to make the former function as a Classic Controller.
Who cares who won? Besides what Sony did was so crazy it just can't be repeatable.

I'm certain SOME Zelda clip will be shown. Star Fox U is a given. Metroid's latest title will be revealed for sure. If they announce Gamecube virtual console, then we'd be talking business.
This is the game's media, Nintendo would have been ignored even if they had Reggie giving every Presser blowjobs behind the curtain.
But seriously, the win/loss narrative is silly. Today was a fucking gargantuan event for people who like games. If you just like games, tomorrow will deliver as well.
I'm in much the same boat. Even though I am disappointed that Zelda will apparently not be shown, I suspect Animal Crossing Wii U will be announced, and that's enough to get my hype back up again.
Frankly, I'd put EarthBound Beginnings in the same tier of "E3 miracles" as Last Guardian, FF7-R and Shenmue III. That, Smash's continued support and a likely showing of Starfox already puts Nintendo well above Microsoft if we're keeping score. Nothing outside of F-Zero and Mother 3 will probably beat Sony's pure buzz, but Nintendo can still have a solid conference. Last year gave us Splatoon as a surprise announcement and that game turned out great, so here's hoping.

Nintendo can still "win" - god I feel so ridiculous saying that, who honestly cares? But I'll bite.
If they have a bunch of unannounced exclusive core games coming this year, they're definitely in the discussion. Sony's was amazing from a hype stand-point and Nintendo definitely cant win in that area. Sony's PC was mostly multi-plats and timed exclusive deals, that's not necessarily a bad thing but I'll take a conference full of solid exclusives over it. Sony did have full exclusive games but even most of them aren't coming this year.
Sony did amazing but if we look at what they're actually delivering exclusive wise [I consider to be the most important in these dumb contests] Nintendo can potentially still come out on top.

You need to understand that for huge number of people , that was amazing, is okay tho, not everyone has to like it. For example Mario Maker yesterday was hype for me , but I understand if other people werent as excited.
Yeah, way I see it, the more great games shown by the Big Three, the better. I have a PS4 and a WiiU, and I may get an Xbone at some point. I want great games on all systems.
Of the stuff Sony showed tonight, I'm very interested in:
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- The Last Guardian
- Dreams
- Street Fighter V
- Final Fantasy VII-R
- Uncharted 4
That UC4 level, btw, was so much fun. Just so much fun. :-D
Kind of interested in Shenmue 3, Until Dawn, and the Hitman reboot. No Man's Sky continues to look incredibly boring.
From Microsoft's conference, I was really impressed with Cuphead and Beyond Eyes. Rare Replay is an incredible value (Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps, etc., in HD, averaging out to $1 a game). Recore looks promising (Mega Man creator, Metroid Prime creators). Rise of the Tomb Raider is so gorgeous I'd want to check it out for the visuals alone. I don't really remember much else. Rare's new IP deals with pirates (yay!) but appears to be an MMO (meh), so not sure what to think there.
Interesting E3 so far. Bring on Nintendo!

Nintendo should just announce a bunch of NX games. They'll likely be out before any of the big "megaton" titles shown at Sony's conference. They don't even have to tell us they're for NX.

Nintendo will "win" in my mind if they announced a decent 2015 lineup for both the 3DS and Wii U.
Im struggling to think of five games total coming out this year.

Not until two years from now I guess. Nintendo are slow.

Oh yeah, Pokemon Z is probably going to happen for sure. That might help..?

This is true, and their strategy has been progressively catering to the base within the past few years. (Which is honestly preferable to leaving us out to dry like they did in the later years of their previous systems, because hey, at least I'll come away blissfully satisfied.) The marketing strategy at this point is all about weathering tough times by keeping the Nintendo core invested.
People interested enough in Nintendo to watch their show will probably come out happy. The rest won't be tuning in at all.
Look at Microsoft's show: 360 backwards compatibility, Halo, Gears, the usualnone of that resonated with me in the slightest as someone who isn't already in the Xbox fold. But there's a whole generation of players now that grew up on the PS2 and don't give a damn about Star Fox or Metroid either. If you're not a longtime Nintendo player, you've never even heard of Mother 3. I don't see Nintendo announcing anything to change that, but as an individual player already in their camp, I also don't care.
Obviously I'd like to see their vision of games and design philosophy succeed, if only so I can be sure I won't be completely alienated by what is an increasingly dull and forbidding industry, but the first priority is to find out about titles I might actually want to play and which are realistically on course for a release in the near future. I don't think very highly of hype for the sake of hype.
Awards for Best Marketing only benefit the marketers, not the players. And as a player, after what I saw of Super Mario Maker on Sunday I'm not the least bit worried. We'll have plenty enough to play between now and the next E3. Will Nintendo generate as much hype by ticking off the right boxes in the NeoGAF demographic as Sony did? Probably not. But I don't base my purchasing decisions on who is most proficient at hype.
The only thing that Nintendo could announce that would put their video above Sony's is Metroid Prime 4. Man, if that game was announced and looked as pretty as some of the stuff we've seen today and have remote and nunchuk support, I'd fraggin' dance the jig.
Since this isn't gonna happen, I don't have to worry about that.

Project Treasure won't be there. They just uploaded a trailer that said more information summer, not E3.
FE IF won't have that much time spent since it was in the last direct. SMT: FE is too Japanese and too far away to have significant time devoted to it. Pokemon Z if it happens won't have five minutes. Finally Devil's Third will probably get a mention at most.
I'm not expecting more bombs but your times are way off.
Sony has set the bar for everyone's expectations.

Prime 4 isn't going to happen, maybe, but the next Metroid game will be announced. All signs are pointing to it. I even just remembered how Reggie wore a Metroid pin in that video not too long ago. It's happening, but I think it'll be a 2.5D game.
Ehh... to be honest, unless you have serious nostalgia/attachment for TLG and FFVII and Shenmue 3 (all of these titles are pinned on nostalgia)... you'd have the same reaction as Jeff did on GB and as I am having now.
It's all dubious pie-in-sky bullshit. They announced so little that actually exists...
I don't even think they will mention Star Fox tomorrow let alone much else.

Only Sadness, Chrono Break kickstarter and Mother 3 HD remake can save Nintendo from the slay of Sonysus

Uhhh...if they don't mention Star Fox, that would be really odd.
