I'm hoping for an English trailer and NA release date announcement for Xenoblade at Nintendo's press conference.
What are the odds?

I'm still confused as to why anyone is even excited about this game. The plot sounds interesting, but plot means nothing to a platformer. The meat and bones is the gameplay and the level design. All we know is some vague painting mechanic that doesn't even sound very good in a platformer.
I'm only keeping an eye on it because it's Mickey, otherwise, I really couldn't care less about it.

The fact that Spector is behind it, its art style is wonderful, and mostly because a few people from the judges week for E3 thought it was awesome (Garnett and the gang).

I do think that this E3 has the potential to be Nintendo's best in years. The fact that it's TWO hours long already impresses me since Nintendo has NEVER done an E3 press conference that long. Remember in E3 2004, Nintendo managed to show trailers of MP2, Star Fox, RE 4, introduced the DS, had a few montage trailers for GC and GBA, had really early Revolution talk, and revealed Zelda in like 50 some minutes.
Meanwhile this year, while Sony and Microsoft are focusing on Kinect and Move for their PC's, Nintendo doesn't need to convince the world anymore. Sure they'll spend some time on Wii Relax or whatever, but even with that I think we'll be shown more output then in the last 2-3 years. Also I think Iwata had a quote earlier this year about how there'll be more core games for the Nintendo fans has already started to come to fruition (with SMG 2, etc.)
The things that i think are no brainers:
Metroid: Other M
S&P 2
Zelda
Epic Mickey (I actually think quite a bit of time's gonna be spent on this game)
3DS (maybe 1/2 hour or so?)
DQ IX
Wii Relax, next casual market plans, other games that take advantage of Wii vitality sensor
Other 3rd party output that they try to convince us is worth playing
Things that I think have a good chance of showing up (but not holding my breath until they do):
Retro's game
Project Sora
Pikmin 3? (I still don't believe this game exists until I see it)
Xenoblade and Last Story
And I also think Nintendo will have a surprise or two hopefully. (DQ X finally shown?)

For me and probably everyone else its because of Spector. If it were a nobody at the helm I wouldn't care, but Spector is not only talented, but pretty damn passionate about Mickey.
He seems to be investing himself quite a bit into the game.

I hope so, kind of more hyped about this than Zelda not because it will be better of course but we know what Nintendo is capable of with that, not sure what Retro will do with Kong.

I guess I'm one of the few that thought Nintendo's press conference last year was great
Super Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, Golden Sun DS, NSMB Wii.... I don't know, I was pretty happy with it. Wasn't mind-blowing but I definitely didn't come away feeling like there was nothing coming for Wii.
That said I think they can top it this year. But Zelda and a hardware reveal as big as 3DS will do that for you.
That, or it's a sign that it went multiplat :lol It would be funny to see their opinions change instantly over a tidbit like that

EPIC MICKEY is exciting because licensed games, and hell, the current landscape in gaming generally speaking, are so flat and uninteresting that even a modicum of creativity and daring makes a man freak out like a starving dog at the sight of a single bean that falls on the carpet

It was, for the most part, decent. It's just a shame that the two games that mattered most to gaffers were just sneaked in at the end with really no mention about their development.

Other M and SMG2 were nice surprises that made it a rather enjoyable conference for me. Not one of Nintendo's very best, but leaps and bounds beyond that catastrophe in 2008.DeathbyVolcano said:
I was probably most disappointed that Zelda didn't show up, but in retrospect, I'm glad it didn't. Being kept in the dark has made the wait far easier to swallow, IMO.

NSMBW ended up being fucking amazing, too, so, good on them.
Why would you do that?

You can only talk so much about Zelda with the scant information we've been given. :lolJarlaxle said:
Plus, the conference thread isn't open until tomorrow.
The lack of originality and creativity shown at today's press conferences was disappointing. All we got were Wii Fit and Wii Sports clones and sequels to games that looks and plays the same as its predecessors. Are there any trailblazers left in the industry besides Nintendo?
Hopefully Nintendo will surprise us. As a matter of fact I expect Nintendo to surprise us by showing us something that was unexpected. Nintendo is the only few companies, perhaps the only company, that thinks outside of the box. And I say that without fanboyism.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Worst part of last year's E3 was the realization that they had pretty much nothing big coming out for Holiday 2009. No-fun fact, I did not play a single video game in 2009. This year, I've only played that Google Pac-Man game.

There's a rumor going around that is saying there's some test footage of Zelda Wii being shown of the showfloor, and that is indeed cel-shaded. It's most definitely bullshit.

I'm all up for some more cel-shaded Zelda.
ALSO. I think an hour dedicated to the 3DS is likely. They're going to really push this thing, especially if it also plays 3D movies and has an "App" store for digital distribution of content.

Zelda fan-sites around the net are talking about some small video clip that was leaked of Zelda Wii. According to "sources", the video shows a Cel_Shaded adult link wielding a mysterious sword and a clip of Miyamoto swinging around a motion+ wiimote.

Cel-shading is great as long as they use a different art direction than Wind Waker's.
