I usually agree with you, but now you are beeing unrealistic. It will be 15 minutes at most.
Last year they ended with Nintendoland which took 15 minutes.

It's ok if there are fireworks in WiiFitU AND if they are as jaw-dropping than the NintendoLand ones.

In 720p without anti-aliasing, if I recollect correctly.
God damn AniHawk, that's one hell of a jam-packed hour, yet so full of perfection. O_O

There could be some game we havent seen yet. Same was said prior the sega direct about Sega and Wii U.

But with Sega it makes sense since their sonic games sell best on Nintendo platforms. Looking at NB's financials more than 50% of their income comes from PS3 and PSP around a third from PS3.
what big games this year, LOL. their last big game was Tekken and that got a Wii U version. most of their studio is probably working on Smash which is what i was talking about. published work that probably gets paid a flat fee and removes a lot of their talent from the risky console transition

Well they are helping with smash. They have some kind of partnership/collaboration going on. None of the partnerships makes sense. Sonic may have sold the most on Wii U but it still means nothing in regards to a partnership. The sega one dont make sense, the platinum one dont make sense, the bayonetta exclusive dont make sense, the SMTXFE dont nake sense..none of the really make 100% sense its just Nintendo being Nintendo and they do alot of nonsense.
How about Bayonetta? Look, if we are getting any surprises, the point of them will be that they will be, well, surprising. Nothing is out of the realm of possibilities. Nintendo has delivered many surprises throughout the years, and many under Iwatas leadership.
My main doubt about getting shocking announcements is less because of the possibility of then existing, and more in light of the amount of games we already know to be shown. There is only so many games you can promote and cover in one single year.

Ah SSB 2013. V. risky.Here's my bingo card.
Mario 3D is the game I am most hyped about. If that game delivers the goods, I will no doubt buy it along with Pikmin 3 and TW101.
Mario Kart is a maybe for me. I guess this one has to have a good online with really good tracks and interesting game modes.
Wind Waker might be interesting, but I already played it on gamecube. And I thought it was a great game, that also looked great. Don´t know what will make me buy this game again, except for replayability I guess.
I don´t think we´ll get gameplay trailer for Smash Bros. Some screenshots and maybe a teaser at most. Not very into Smash Bros. anyway. Not my type of game.
I think we will have surprises. Nintendo always has surprises at E3. The question is will it be good(like a new Metroid, new core IP) or "bad"(like a new Wii Sports, ). Though I would probably buy a new Wii Sports, had tons of fun with the last one.

This is probably accurate and some people are worrying about nothing. :lol
EDIT:
Who knows if the one hour time is accurate or not. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
maybe it's even shorter!This is probably accurate and some people are worrying about nothing. :lol

Guys never forget the 13th september:
13th september 2011: Mario tennis, Fire Emblem awakening, MH3-3g and mH4 annonced only on 3ds.
13th september 2012: Bayonetta 2 annonced only on WiiU.
I suspect they keep some games for this event.

Turning my expectations down since even Sonic Team can't make a WiiU game that's even closely on par with their last HD Sonic game graphically.
Gonna be disappointing regardless if Mario looks like an HD port or gets some unnecessary multiplayer focus because of the pad :/

What are the chances of some megatons being dropped a week or so after the nintendo direct? Like the 3DS XL last year

I'm guessing we'll still get another Direct later this month like last year. The announcements then will be directly dependent on what we see at E3, so we'll have to wait and see what gets announced in 9(!) days.
You guys are wrong; this isn't Dream Team! It's actually Mario, Luigi, and Kirby. It's da Smash Bros. 4! Omg no wai hype omg no wai
No Mario, don't fist Kirby!

Creating the new Wii Play takes a lot of time for a team like Retro. Think of all the focus testing they have to do.

The rest sounds easliy like something Nintendo would pull off.
..saddly.
This is what's in the .ics calendar file:
EDIT: NVM. Just found DTEND. So it seems that Nintendo specified 1 hour in the file.

So it seems that Nintendo specified 1 hour in the file.I don't know why people are acting like this should be or even could be more than an hour. Directs are always tight packages. They just want to show all the stuff they have got. Not necessarily take extra long time to present everything. That is what the all others videos during E3 are for. I'd be surprised if it was even an hour long. 45min or so seems more probable.
IntelliHeath
As in "Heathcliff"
Lawl. May not even be an hour long
Thank you. That's what I tried to telling people that
Someone is going to be disappointed.
Though sometimes they have taken an extra long time to present anything. Take for example Game & Wario minigames. It seems kind of random what they focus on sometimes.
For what it's worth it seems like EatChildren likes to be very pessimistic about Directs even for ones that delivered by all possible standards I understand pessimism but there comes time when you have to realize that times have changed and adobt a more positive attitude.
They give more time for stuff that is coming out soon.

Sure, why wouldn't it? I hope you realize last gen ports aren't the ceiling, they're the starting point!
Haha nice, you even used the same filter I used
Funny thing, I didn't even realize that the blue is almost exactly the color of the Wii U-blue. I simply just wanted it to fit with the water in the Wave Race graphic LOL. Nice coinkidink.
NO it is NOT!
Who is spreading this misinformation? There is an ACTUAL EVENT for press at E3 that is 90min long and includes Q&A time.
No, this is what that would look like:
Dude, Straight Right's new IP was Funky Barn. That ship sailed a LONG ass time ago.
You clearly haven't seen my bingo card
And mine didn't make it
lol
Finally someone with realistic expectations.
So Retro is making Wii Sports U?
I know you're joking but I wanna address this in general:
Why do a lot of you even think something like Wii Sports U has to eventually exist? Because it has Wii in the title and was the reason the Wii blew up like it did? The actual game makes absolutely no sense on Wii U. There will be no Wii Sports U. The concept of sports was based on the idea of the Wii Remote, the interactivity it provided and the new possibilities of control. The Wii U cannot do that, since the Wii Remote is merely an additional controller. That golf thing they showed in 2011? That was a neat little concept demo to show "what you can do" with two screens. That has zero use in an actual game since it adds nothing to the experience. You already played Wii Remote Golf twice now. Reggie said it himself last year "Nintendo Land is the Wii Sports for the Wii U" (I believe it was during the "Not the same game, not the same content!" incident). The Wii U's strengths get shown off with Nintendo Land, there simply is no logical application for a sports game. What sport can you make as fun, simple and engaging as would be necessary for a Wii Sports-type experience with the GamePad? Barely any. And for those that do work, there's Mario & Sonic @ the Olympics.
I found it weird that there was never any clear follow-up to this.
Nintendo published 4 and the remake of 2.
In a Wii U Direct? No they won't
I expect to actually see a lot of Wii Fit U if only for the fact that this game will introduce User Created Communities for Miiverse which they will detail with actual footage this time (Iwata already talked about the feature in January). That's actually pretty significant and relevant to future games so I have no problem with that part.
Here's my bingo card.
Sales charts? Really? You should know better, Cheese
Too early. You don't need a price cut when you have a ridiculous line-up of games.
Maybe.
Yea, late June-Direct which likely focuses on Pikmin, Game & Wario, Splinter Cell, The Wonderful 101 and M&L Dream Team, Animal Crossing DLC, Project X Zone and eShop games is a safe bet. I also think that's when we hear about firmware update details.
You've really turned into Debbie Downer lately, lol. Here's hoping that the E3 Nintendo Direct episode manages to surprise you.
