Do Nintendo usually show the press their E3 videos in advance? Seems a little strange this random guy in France is commenting on something yet to come.

Even if he has seen it, I bet Nintendo have withheld some big stuff until the official broadcast.

Only thing we have as reference is them showing Starfox to select press before the Digital Event last year. I've not heard of anyone being given the Digital Event to watch beforehand. They know that leaks would happen.

 

[Busaiku]

The Nintendo Digital Event is only 30 minutes long? Asking because I want to make sure I'm home for it!

Don't think anything has been confirmed.
People threw around 45 earlier, but I don't know what that's based on.

 

[Squall5042]

I think I remember the youtube schedule having an hour and a half for it, though that might include post-analysis, etc. I know Square starts an hour after N.

 

[Sorceror12]

 

[GRW810]

By the way, is this the OT for the Digital Event?

 

[Taker666]

Microsoft bought Mojang, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Microsoft only purchased them 9 months ago...so IF it was happening a contract would have been signed prior to that.

 

[Milly Osworth]

Nope. That journo's tweet along with the word on no NX/Zelda has crushed it for me.

I just read a tweet that the Digital Event will make your dreams come true!

(don't believe everything you read on the internetz)

 

[Rich!]

Probably around 45.

Yep seems right

 

[HeroR]

I'm not expecting much from the Digital Event (Zelda killed my Nintendo hype months ago once it was revealed to be a no-show) but I'm sure Treehouse will take over my life for the next three days, so I'm still excited!

You know, I love Zelda as much as the next person, but why do people treat it like it's the only game of interest Nintendo ever makes? The same with Smash.

 

[Yrael]

I'm watching Guardians of the Galaxy while I wait. I love this time of the year.

I think press get a pre-event where they see some stuff. Happened last year I think, but no one had a clue Splatoon was coming, so I'm sure they hold some stuff back.

 

[ohyouagain]

Super Mario Maker is probably the best game we'll see during the show.

Not because of graphics and shit but because it is the closest thing to actually working at Nintendo.

 

[TunaLover]

Why would Iwata deliver megatons at an investors meeting? And keep in mind this event is being streamed in Japan and other countries as well

It has happened in a previous E3, no interesting stuff during E3, then bam Nintendo Direct with the goods.

I'm thinking on the lack of Iwata, and ... Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[Übermatik]

LETS GET PUMPED PEOPLE

Animal Crossing U: it's set in a University campus town, you play as a student enrolling if fun mini-game classes and speaking to your other animal students. Customise and improve your frat house by speaking with Tom Nook, listen to KK Slider perform in the Students Union, it's gonna be incredible.

Metroid Prime 4: Samus is back with new bounties and galaxies to explore, the stakes are higher than ever, the gamepad is used as a visor, graphics are amazing, coming 2016 WITH ONLINE MULTIPLAYER, tease for Retro's new IP coming "after"

Diddy Kong Racing: cross buy for 3DS and WiiU, includes minor eShop characters from the likes of Dillon's Rolling Western and Pushmo, Yooka and Laylee confirmed characters, speaking of

Yooka Laylee Amiibo confirmed for the games launch, Nintendo partnering with Playtonic for an exclusive physical edition on WiiU

BELIEVE

Its... beautiful...ly over optimistic.

I would die if this happened though, especially the Metroid bit.

Die.

*EDIT* Actually if this happens and I don't die, ban me.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Playing Wario Ware Touch. Really want a Wario Ware game...

 

[AGoodODST]

Where are all the booth pics this year by the way? Not seen any.

Need to make sure that blue fox isn't on any Star Fox material.

 

[Hyperactivity]

C'mon NintenGAF
This is OUR specialty

We have huge expectations coming up to Nintendo events, even if they're totally unrealistic. Metroid, Zelda, Star Fox, F-Zero, Mother 4, New IP, it will all be at this E3

Iwata isn't in LA but that doesn't mean he won't be in the Digital Event and that there won't be megatons.

 

[Francokid1]

An hour and 10 mins to go friends. SO HYPE
When is the thread goin up?

Hoping for Dragons Dogma U and RavenBlade by Retro

 

[Sadist]

Riki is excited!

 

[Volotaire]

By the way, is this the OT for the Digital Event?

No. BY2K is doing it. It's in the OP/.

 

[Disorientator]

Choo choo...it's that time of the year again, let's do this.

Come on N...show us what you got.

 

[pupcoffee]

Why do you guys think Metroid is such a pipedream? It's only the most obvious announcement Nintendo could make at this point.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I think they're letting the franchise rest a bit after the poor sales of Game and Wario and the poor quality of the DSi downloads.

 

[shackdaddy836]

I want a new Wario Land game

[JMDSO]

I think Sonys announcement were probably more exciting than the actual games will be. It was the perfect trinity of GAF-meltdowns, but I'm not really looking forward to any of those games.

The last Guardian looked almost exactly like it did 7 years ago, which isn't that impressive now, and nor does that type of atmosphere feel very unique any more. Hopefully it'll still be a good game though.

FFVII will be a disaster. Old school FF and classic FF really don't mesh and modern squenix is horrible. Nomura being in charge pretty much confirms it will be a full on advent children shitfest.

Shenmue 3 is just weird. I liked Shenmue back in the day and the ambition and scope was impressive back then but the story, writing or the gameplay really doesn't hold up, and most of the things that made it special then is pretty commonplace now. Some of the lifesim stuff could still be neat though. I honestly can't believe anyone seriously care about the conclusion to the story any more.

Horizon was the one game I saw last night that did it for me.

 

[Majestad]

Are your bodies ready my dudes?

[DXB-KNIGHT]

I won't think about the how's and whys but I pretty sure I'll be happily surprised

 

[Vanillalite]

Fucked off to infinity and beyond!

I AM SO HYOE

I have been waiting for METROID dread for tears now. Notnlobhg.

.

 

[-Horizon-]

The only way I can really be disappointed is if Retro no shows. I just want to know what the heck they are up to ;_;

Quick! Someone check their security cams! They might've left a message for us!

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I already have it on my PS4 and hardly play it anymore

but a Wii U Minecraft is something I would like

While we're at it, throw Banjo-Kazooie into Smash Bros.

 

[Shauni]

I thought the 45 minute time run was confirmed? No?

 

[Not]

TODAY'S THE DAY

Can someone give me a Youtube stream link please? Pretty pretty please???

 

[Busaiku]

We got hype before due to the outlandish nature if most hype.
The Sony conference lived up to the outlandish expectations.

Hype is dead.

Die.

You are familiar with Neogaf mods right? Careful what you wish for....

 

[Junahu]

It's gonna be nice to see some trailers that aren't obligated to have a disclaimer stating that they are running real-time on official hardware. That got pretty old, and I have my suspicions that most of them were either vertical-slices or embellished gameplay anyway.

Call me an old stuffed coat, but I like a nice traditional trailer, even if it's not neccessarily more genuine to the final product.

 

[Lunarian]

God I love the GAF community. You guys are the best lol. Get on dat hype train wooo

 

[Volotaire]

I thought the 45 minute time run was confirmed? No?

This is hinted in the IGN schedule. Precise time information is unknown. It does follow trend from previous years.

 

[Lambtron]

Why do you guys think Metroid is a pipedream? It's only the most obvious announcement Nintendo could make at this point.

It's coming, they've said as much. I'm not letting myself get hyped so as to temper my expectations.

Realistically, this is what I'm hoping for on the stream: Animal Crossing Wii U, Happy Home Designer N3DS XL for the West, N3DS regular size for NA, Style Savvy & Rhythm Heaven localizations, solidified release dates for the Fall games, StarFox footage.

Things that seem possible that I'm not expecting/would love: Metroid, Punch-Out!!, Wario Ware.

 

[balohna]

I fully expect a Star Fox trailer that pushes all the nostalgia buttons, with a release date this year.

Hoping for Metroid.

Beyond that, I'm just excited to see what secret projects they've got.

Does anybody have the Youtube link to the stream?

 

[HeavyMetalLover91]

A couple of videos for you to hype yourself up (at your own risk)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od2IKLz30hM

Smash related but still relevant

 

[Hyperactivity]

Y'all ready?

 

[TunaLover]

I think I will play some Splatoon in the mean time

 

[Astral Dog]

Metroid V after Fusion, Samus is hunted by the Corrupt Galactic Federation, she hides on a planet where she can get evidence neccessary to prove their bioweapon research.

Samus takes orders from Adam computer as she travels through a mazelike planet a la Super Metroid, Anthony Higgs dies somewhere without dialogue.

 

[Not]

I love you
I'm now finally getting hyped


C'mon guys

Pre order Star Fox, get Wolf

What's the matter, Nintendo, scared?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Well, I'm pretty much a massive fan of everything Nintendo makes, so what you said isn't true of me whatsoever. Zelda skipping this E3 tempered my expectations because it means the game is much further out than expected and as much as I love other Nintendo franchises, none of them are bigger than Zelda for me. Punch-Out!! comes very close though.
