So what are the odds of this happening tonight:

*Aonuma shows up*

"Remember when we said Zelda wouldn't be at E3? Well..."

*Aonuma grins*

"Please enjoy."

*5 minute Zelda trailer plays*

*GAF dies*

As the advocate for lower expectations, the Zelda trailer that plays will be Hyrule Warriors 3DS.

I think it's safe to say that Hyrule Warriors will likely be the only form of Zelda games we'll see this year at E3.

 

[Pila]

Lol Amiibo Scalp ^^ you guys are nuts.

 

[Delio]

Sure are a lot of people saying Pokemon. I dont see that happening at all except for Mystery Dungeon. Animal Crossing is pretty much a yes and hopefully it's really good.

 

[Darryl]

Star Tropics 3
Metroid 6
Smash 4.5
Animal Crossing Galaxy
Please Understand
Soul Calibur x Nintendo
Isaac for Smash Bros

was this the right thread or did I jump the gun

Nope, nope, nope

 

[takriel]

I can't shake off the thought that after delaying Zelda U for one more year, Aonuma stepped before his loyal team and declared: "I have bought us one more year to do this!"

[antonz]

Oh Kamiya taunting people on Twitter. He is a mean soul saying Bayonetta 3 to people

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

Or, they could just throw the trailer up and it does the same.

Let's not pretend that it's impossible for Aonuma to talk a bit about the game. I mean a lot of the Digital Event last year included talking.

 

[AniHawk]

i think the only thing i'm 100% sure on aside from seeing star fox is that there won't be dlc shown for existing games.

that's the sort of thing that seems like it would be shown afterwards.

From 0:00-0:05 he was a kid. Now, from 0:05 to the end he was a squid. now.

Yep. We have a year off this year for Pokémon and so they are unlikely to reveal anything. At most, we'll get a title of the next Gen VI game, but we won't see it. That's a very slim chance, though.

i think the only thing i'm 100% sure on aside from seeing star fox is that there won't be dlc shown for existing games.

Totally agree. That's why we had the Smash presentation on Sunday rather than today.

 

[RagnarokX]

Sleep now, and drink the rum right before the event. It'll numb the pain.

SCENE: The end of the Digital Event:

REGGIE: "...who knew that Samus could run a daycare all by herself? She's just a woman, after all. But now you can take Samus on a baby-coddling adventure in Metroid: Other M 2 — the next great game from Retro Studios, in collaboration with Platinum Games and From Software, featuring gameplay for ages 3 and up."

*Reggie's eyes moisten as the camera slowly zooms in on his face. He takes on an even gentler tone, practically licking the inside of the listener's ear with his soft velvety tongue*

REGGIE: "But there's one more announcement..." *camera zooms in to Reggie's pockmarked skin* "One more world I'd like you to step inside, only on the WiiU."

*fireworks go off, a madman starts banging on a drum*

REGGIE: "WiiU Music: Wii Music 2!"

"The true meaning of Nintendo is humoring your sweet grandmother when she shows you the keyboard cat video. Now -you- can be the keyboard cat. Just use the GamePad touchscreen. You could even do -this-."

*Miyamoto walks onscreen, the GamePad slung over his shoulder, dangling at his waist by a guitar strap. He starts playing it like a keytar.*

MIYAMOTO: "THIS, IS, SO, FRUN. IT MAKES ME... SO HWAPPY."

TRINEN: "This is so fun... It makes me so happy."

REGGIE: "It's the latest game from EAD Tokyo. Every team there is working on it. Thank you for tuning into this year's E3 Digital Event."

*Smash logo appears onscreen*

*Sakurai appears*

SAKURAI: "But that's not all, Reggie!" *pause for fans gasping* "There is one more game — and it's NOT Smash. Please, take a look."

*trailer plays for Amiibo Scalp*

SAKURAI: "I grew bored of Smash DLC, so I have canceled the Fighter Ballot. I was considering doing a sequel to Kid Icarus Uprising instead, or perhaps a new Mega Man. Capcom gave me their blessing. But instead, I'm making Amiibo Scalp."

"In Amiibo Scalp, you play the role of a scalper who preorders and buys amiibo before other people can get them. To obtain the amiibo in the game, you must have the amiibo in real life. By tapping your Mario amiibo to the GamePad, your scalper will have the Mario amiibo in-game. Now your in-game character can make exorbitant profits off NPCs like 'Desperate Dad Trying to Not Ruin Christmas For His 5-Year-Old Daughter.' You can really turn the screws on them."

*Footage of shady-looking guy talking to a teary dad. Dialogue tree: "You wouldn't want to disappoint your child, would you?"*

SAKURAI: "Amiibo Scalp is our big holiday title this winter."

I have no idea what to expect other than release dates for games we know are coming this year.

i think the only thing i'm 100% sure on aside from seeing star fox is that there won't be dlc shown for existing games.

that's the sort of thing that seems like it would be shown afterwards.

I think a new Mario Kart pack is possible.

That'd be a cool pvp multiplayer mode.

OBJECTIVE: CAPTURE THE LUCINA AMIIBO

 

[Addi]

- Zelda U trailer and gameplay, demo available to download right after event, release date turns out to be Christmas 2015 after all.
- Balloon Fighter HD, same mechanics, only in HD
- 5 new Smash characters available right after event, even thought they just released new ones two days ago
- Mr. Game and Watch 3d platformer for 3ds, since he is flat, the mechanics revolve around that.
- Splatoon DLC, they talk about it for 30 minutes
- Announcement that after MGS V, Kojima will be making new IPs games for nintendo
- Metroid Pinball U

 

[Roo]

I think a new Mario Kart pack is possible.

I'm sure Konno and Yabuki are done with Mario Kart 8

 

[Rösti]

We are about 7,5 hours away from the Digital Event and NoA's E3 2015 press site is still not up (the press site for E3 2014 was up five days before the Digital Event). I'll keep an eye on the main press site to see if they add some info on this.

 

[random25]

I think a new Mario Kart pack is possible.

That's highly unlikely. If there is a new MK8 DLC, they'll probably show it at a separate once-per-two-months Direct, not at E3.

Oh man... Glorious high res starfox art, box art mhmmm

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Guys I just posted this in Horizon thread but I think it also fits here.


Am I crazy or some of you could see it too?

same feelings but the grass will never be that deep in Zelda U
and Link will never talk

I wonder how I will feel after I play both games
they both have pluses

 

[Diffense]

The last console AC was made for was the Wii which had less system RAM than even the 3DS. If there's an ACU I really hope they expand the game's presentation to take advantage of the huge leap in hardware capabilities that the Wii U represents. IMO, this could be a great opportunity to create an AC that feels like a big evolution for the series (like Mario 64 to the Mario series or OoT to Zelda but on a smaller scale).

Is the username and password the same as last year or they changed it?

I know I ask you this every year but feel free to PM me the details if they're changed

They really cutback on the E3 site budget too. They had a pretty awesome looking site last year. This year is almost out of the Geocities days

Ah so it'll be 8 PM my time when it starts, thanks mate!
For that matter, here's my predictions-
DRAGON QUEST LOCALIZATION
GREAT ACE ATTORNEY LOCALIZATION

We also get to see som Yokai Watch.

 

[EloquentM]

Neit, that's ~9 in the morning though! Lmao

 

[Aostia]

no booth pics this year (last year we got Mario Maker leak)?

lol I forgot about this.

 

[balgajo]

After waiting for so many time i hope we won't have a leak with 7 hours remaining.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Remember last year TIME leaked starfox like a hour before

 

[Smiles and Cries]

no booth pics this year (last year we got Mario Maker leak)?

watch the shit leak like 30 minutes before the event and ruin it

 

[iBlue]

I hope they talk about their account system with DeNa

 

[D_prOdigy]

no booth pics this year (last year we got Mario Maker leak)?

nothing left to leak. Hyrule warriors 3DS was it, m8

 

[Rubixcuba]

I hope they talk about their account system with DeNa

Whilst I also want to know, only games today please.

 

[Taker666]

no booth pics this year (last year we got Mario Maker leak)?

Starfox was leaked by Time Magazine last year as well. I won't be surprised to see one new game named by the press prior to the event... if it's not Time it'll be the WSJ or Nikkei.

 

[MouldyK]

As a lover of Shenmue, it pains me to admit an ACU Announcement will blow me out the water for the conferences.


I mean, atleast i'd know the game comes out this year hopefully.

 

[iBlue]

Whilst I also want to know, only games today please.

More likely we will get info about this in another direct around august-september. Are you a digital guy like me?

 

[EloquentM]

Literally all I want is metroid. I decided to stay up and get drunk and make fries. I'm still gonna try to make 9 AM though. Hype into space, man.

 

[Rich!]

my predictions:

VERY LIKELY IMO:

- twilight princess 3D, N3DS exclusive
- Star Fox
- new Metroid
- Virtual Boy VC for the New 3DS. Available NOW.

NOT AS LIKELY LOL:

- new F-Zero (maybe an HD online version of GX?)
- Wario Land

THE FUCK YOU SMOKIN BOY:

- Mother 3 with a new translation (never gonna live up to the incredible fan translation)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I wonder what the benefit of the Zelda U delay will be for us?

I don't think Zelda on Wii U can stand up next to some of these games due next year

what it got going for it is Nintendo's ability to deliver awesome gameplay

 

[And_Gignac]

This will probably be the most "meh" nintendo e3 in a while. Other than boring DLCs and already announced games I don't think they have many surprises.

And they shouldn't, all their producing resources should be focused on NX software.

 

[Porcile]

At least we'll see some gameplay. If Nintendo starts resorting to CG trailers with no gameplay for official announcements then i'm officially out. OUT, I tell you.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Digital Event of Lowered Expectations:

[weekev]

my predictions:

- twilight princess 3D, N3DS exclusive
- Star Fox
- new Metroid
- Virtual Boy VC for the New 3DS. Available NOW.

more unlikely predictions:

- new F-Zero (maybe an HD online version of GX?)
- Wario Land

getthefuckouttahere predictions:

- Mother 3 with a new translation (never gonna live up to the incredible fan translation)

Cant see F-Zero cos fast racing neo looks like close enough.

 

[Aostia]

chances to see a Zelda U trailer put together at the very last moment to "react" to the great Sony's conf? I mean, the game is well in development and they have footage for sure. And it not being at E3 could be referred to the Fair booth, not to the Digital Event...

 

[kizmah]

A man can always dream. These would be my megatons.

Eternal Darkness remake by Retro.
I would settle for Metroid Prime 4 by Retro as well.
Endless Ocean 3 for Wii U coming out this fall (in Europe).

 

[Roo]

And they shouldn't, all their producing resources should be focused on NX software.

Handheld games don't take that many resources tho...

 

[Rösti]

Is the username and password the same as last year or they changed it?

I know I ask you this every year but feel free to PM me the details if they're changed

The username and password will likely be this:

Username: Nintendo
Password: E32015

Sometimes they change from capitals to lowercase letters.

Is the last one done by Retro too?

 

[Darryl]

I'm waiting to see what Nintendos answer to Minecraft will be. It's hitting that point.
