Topic: General E3 2015 Thread - 2 Days Away! (Smash, NWC, Bethesda Today!)

You don't have to worry anymore, Square Enix has moved their conference to an hour after Nintendo.

how long will Nintendo's video be?

Based on last year, a little less than 50 minutes IIRC

Probably one more hour than they've previously announced.

Confirmed:
Mario Maker
Star Fox U

Guaranteed:
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
Art Academy: Atelier
Devil's Third
Fatal Frame V
Fire Emblem If
Project Giant Robot
Project Guard
Project Treasure
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Smash Bros. DLC
Tantalus' Wii U port
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yokai Watch
Yoshi's Wooly World

Maybe:
Next Level Games' next project
Retro Studios' next project
Advance Wars
Metroid Prime / "Traditional-style" Metroid game
Pikachu Detective Game
Pokkén Tournament Wii U

Unlikely:
Tokyo EAD's next Mario game

Deconfirmed:
NX
DeNa smartphone games
New membership service
Zelda U

Rumored:
TBA

So there'll probably be a couple 2016 games announced.

Yeah, though that's not exactly news. People just went overboard with a single word in a throwaway comment meant to justify the absence of a single game at the event.

Iwata did say earlier that there are unannounced Wii U titles scheduled for release before the end of the financial year (March 31st 2016), so those will most likely turn up at the event.

All of the conferences in a nice a tidy graph.

Excellent. E3 isn't far away now!

So which games do you think each company will start their presentations with? My guesses:
Microsoft: Halo 5 or CoD Black Ops 3
EA: Star Wars Battlefront
Ubisoft: The Division or AC Syndicate
Sony: No Man's Sky
Nintendo: Star Fox
Square Enix: Deus Ex Mankind Divided

As for Bethesda and PC Gaming Show, I have no idea. Don't think Bethesda would start with Fallout 4.

Nah, Nintendo usually starts with a known game. I'm betting they'll start with Smash DLC

Didn't they start with Pikmin 3 a couple years back, which was the first we saw of the game?

Microsoft: Halo 5
EA: Mass Effect
Ubisoft: The Division
Sony: Destiny or Project Horizon
Nintendo: Mario Marker or Xenoblade
Square Enix: Final Fantasy XV
Bethesda: Doom

Destiny is already out though, and Final Fantasy XV was confirmed to not be at E3 in favor of Gamescom.

Probably, but I still think Star Fox won't be first.

The big Destiny expansion is set for septemember and will probably be announced at E3.

Bethesda: Fallout 4 (I know people don't think they'll start with something like that, but I just feel like they will. I'm no expert.)
Microsoft: Something Rareware (Battletoads, Banjo-Kazooie, Killer Instinct, who knows?)
Ubisoft: The Division or Rainbow Six: Siege (Either one's an explosive not to open on. I don't think there's a chance AC won't be a mid-late-show game.)
EA: Battlefront? (I'm not gonna bother speculating. It's been made pretty clear I don't like EA, so I don't really know what they may open with, nor do I really care.)
Sony: Uncharted 4: A Theif's End (If they don't start with this, I'm going to be disappointed. Sony has ended with Uncharted two years in a row. It's not a surprise, anymore, and if they try it again, it's just going to be further proof that I don't need a PS4, this generation.)
Nintendo: Mario Maker (I did a fair bit of thought with this one. Games that we haven't seen seemed to already be out, and that includes games the average person wouldn't think would have any reason to be in the presentation, like Mario Kart or Smash. Yoshi's Woolly World will be early on, but probably not first thing, then I realized that Mario Maker would make a wonderful opener, and done right, could lead into some hardware talk of some sort like Smash led into Amiibo, last year.)
Square: FFXV (Not a shocker. Easy note to open on and it'll still get a big response.)

So those are my predictions.

• Bethesda: Something Elder Scrolls related (I know practically nothing about them, though)
• Microsoft: Rise of the Tomb Raider
• EA: Star Wars: Battlefront
• Ubisoft: Assassin's Creed whatever (I don't have anything against the series BTW, I just genuinely don't know the title)
• Sony: The Last Guardian (won't happen, but imagine the reaction)
• Nintendo: Mario Maker
• Square Enix: FFXV

For those saying FFXV, no chance of that happening. It was confirmed to not be at E3 weeks ago:

BTW, if we're going by the start of the conferences and not the floor opening, we have less than 30 days left!!! (Bethesda's is on Sunday, June 14th)
