They better kick it off with Zelda or else

Recent news seems to indicate that Pokemon will be first

[RPGCrazied]

The Legend of Zelda: Other Z

Lol.

Serious though, Metroid and Zelda are my favorite things from Nintendo. Its clear they are trying to kill off Metroid, but Zelda too would be the last straw.

 

[Angry Chair]

*shrug*

I don't really care. If the game is good, it's good. I find all the whining to be eyeroll-inducing.

We are no doubt annoying but every time I see the game, I want to rip my eyes and ears off.

 

[Aaronrules380]

It's almost midnight here and I'm super sleepy.
Is it confirmed that zelda only ? I heard they decided to show other games :/

Spoiler

Pls be gud

Pokemon is today as well, everything else is tomorrow

Dragon Quest 7 release date H Y P E

I fucking need this haven't used 3ds in months...

I need to charge it, once it's charged and I'm playing DQ7 I'll probably end up buying that horse game too OH that reminds me eshop sale in NA today too

A DQ7 stealth release would be the biggest news of e3 haha. The target thing gives me hope but it would sure be odd. Thinking it must have been a mistake.

 

[half a moon]

If there's a female link I hope they reveal it today. I want there to be one but I want more for speculation to be over. They can do that at least for no NX?

It is difficult to keep hype in check when Aonuma said something like this

http://kotaku.com/an-update-on-zelda-wii-u-1764000736

“Please look forward to it, because I think we’ll be able to make ‘something new’ like Ocarina of Time was,” Aonuma added.

 

[BlackJace]

In for it.

 

[Pandy]

Happy Nintendo Day, everyone.

They've been promoting this as the big Zelda blowout. I'd prefer they show that first.

FWIW I still think we may get a Zelda trailer followed by Pokémon footage and then Zelda hands-on footage. The messaging has been unclear for the past couple weeks so I'm not convinced 100% that what the website says is accurate, unless it turns out it updated more recently than last week's PR statement was released. Regardless, like you said, even this new statement is not completely clear. At least we will see soon what order things are happening in. And Zelda will be among them!

Any idea why Nintendo would decide to not show the new Paper Mario game at all? It was supposed to launch this year, right?

Guess they have nothing new to show on it.

My impression is that originally only Zelda would be shown, but I have no firm basis for that, only that they originally only discussed Zelda and to me made it sound like no other gane would be present. Regardless, I get the sense plans changed and that now they decided to show some other things also, and that new demos or trailers of Color Splash and Fed Force were not ready in whatever notice was given. I think the inconsistencies in the PR statements from one and two weeks ago speak to this. Still, maybe they will show Paper Mario at the show after all, maybe during Treehouse. Though, I think it's moderately ulikely at this point since they're already advertising which games will be shown tomorrow, and are spotlighting third party games, and I don't join they'd mentioned third party games being shown but not first party games being shown, since the latter are understandably of greater import to them. (I'm excluding any possible new announcements from this thinking, because I would imagine they would not want to apologize the surprise by talking about those in advance.) So, to sum up, I expect to see Paper Mario (and possibly Fed Force) next at a post-E3 Direct, perhaps next month or early August.

Maybe tomorrow. Today is all Pokémon and Zelda.

Nintendo never said, they will not show case other games beside Zelda.
Tree house show always features many different games an deveryone here on GAF enjoyed it.

True, they might still show it in the regular Treehouse stream...

Well the reception to Colour Splash wasn't positive and I suspect that it will end up being NXed like Super Paper Mario got moved to the Wii.

It could also be the fact that the game isn't in a state to be shown off just yet.

Well, I wouldn't say it was overly negative either, at least not compared to Metroid Federation... I can't imagine that they're moving it to NX because that would mean that there's not a single Nintendo game coming to WiiU for the whole remainder of the year except the extremely niche Fire Emblem, or am I missing something?

 

[Soapbox Killer]

I expect Zelda to be the greatest game ever made. Nothing less is acceptable.

This is totally unfair... And i do it every single game since 1998.

They better kick it off with Zelda or else

Confirmed on E3 site they're starting with Pogeymanz. Will probably be really short though. Gotta' save video room for the massive Zelda announcements!


Edit: maxcriden makes a good point though. We may get a Hyrulean opening after-all?

 

[ionitron]

Admittedly more excited about seeing Zelda but as an undying Pokemon fan I have no qualms with them showing that off first at all lol.

 

[Lunar15]

The key with zelda is to have no expectations. The team's good, they're gonna make a great game. People just get hung up on weird things they think the series should be and then flip out when it's not that.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Not hype enough

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The messaging has been unclear for the past couple weeks

SHOCKING!

good, pokemon first.

Really? Read the OP the next time you go into a thread. It is the place where useful information pertaining a thread is very likely to be.

Browser Doesn't load photos because I'm in China, ass.

I think I'd be asking because I'd like to know, thanks.

No, I can't. I don't care at all!

Spoiler

I care immensely.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I'm expecting the worst and hoping for the best here. I feel like every time Nintendo releases some sort of presentation I always walk away depressed.

 

[Orakio Rob]

This is awesome ^_^

Yeah I was thinking about posting this but I didn't wanna get everyone's hopes way up in the event that it's underwhelming.

I personally am expecting way too much, nowhere to go but down

 

[(mat)]

First E3 without Iwata.

Holy downer. You just through a grenade on the tracks of the hype-train and killed all of us.

well, kind of. Let's hope is good.

it's a mistake that it was put up early, guarantee you that Target doesn't create labels or scan codes based on rumors.

I don't think it will be a stealth release but I think we will get a release date

[maxcriden]

It could also be the fact that the game isn't in a state to be shown off just yet.

If they knowingly made a game similar to Sticker Star, they are surely aware that some online would be upset with that, before revealing it. The game sold very well regardless and there's no reason to think Color Splash won't do relatively well also. As to moving to NX, no offense intended, but I don't expect their sole H2 retail release for the year to be pushed back.

motherfu-

well alright, I'll give them a chance to win me over with another Pokémon, even though I found the last few entries super disappointing.

 

[Crayolan]

I'm on black out for pokemon but I neeeeeed Zelda. >_>

Hoping the initial pokemon showing is not a full demo.
