Topic: E3 2016 Speculation/Predictions

Wasn't Crash Bandicoot and Parappa da Rapper in the Ps3 game that was said to be a Smash killer?

@LetsGoChamp: Parappa was but Crash wasn't

Guaranteed:
NX (console + games)
Zelda U
Genei Ibun Roku # FE *
Metroid Prime: Federation Force *
Pokkén Tournament *
Dragon Quest VII *, VIII * and XI

Likely:
Pikmin 4
Project Guard *
Project Giant Robot *
Retro's next project
Team Galaxy's next Mario game

Maybe:
?

Not likely:
Monolith Soft's next project
Sakurai's next game

*Provided they are not released before E3 2016.

(This list is only based on what's been confirmed to be in development. This isn't a wishlist or a full prediction.)

Ok, here's my predictions:

• Sony will delay lots of games to 2017
• Microsoft will announce a solid lineup
• Nintendo will talk about NX (either for the first time or second time after a March unveiling) but the reception will be similar to the 2015 Digital Event.

Microsoft announces full compatibility and we won't be getting lists anymore.

I'm gonna go into this with an without any predictions or expectations. Only thing I'm gonna predict is that it's gonna be a live press conference to unveil the NX(though if it's another digital event I won't mind)

Okay so I think right now Nintendo's E3 depends on a lot of factors, so I'm gonna make some not-so-sound assumptions. I'm not saying these are necessarily true, but I had to have some foundation for the predictions

Assumptions:
1. The NX is a handheld launching in Winter 2016
2. The NX has been revealed prior to E3
3. Amiibo continues to be a success for Nintendo
4. Miitomo launches and sees moderate success

With that said, here we go:
Very Likely
Zelda Wii U trailer and release window. The game's title is finally revealed
Metroid Prime: Federation Force Trailer and release window
More updates on Nintendo NX features
A "Tech Demo" type game that shows off the NX's features- Has Miitomo compatibility
Pokken Tournament (if it hasn't released yet)
Amiibo-locked features across pretty much every game revealed

Likely
A new Kirby game on either Wii U or 3DS
New Super Mario Bros NX (40% chance)
Retro's new game for Wii U
Next 3D Mario game for Wii U
Nd-Cube's next game+ Amiibo compatibility
Project Guard

Maybe
Pikmin 4
Mario Strikers/ Mario Super Sluggers

Don't count on it
A Third Party presence invited to show support for NX.

@Whitewatermoose: Rare is working on Sea of Thieves.

What I'd add to Sony:

-An epic trailer for Horizon Zero Dawn that ends with a fade in to a 2017 date, meaning the game is delayed.

While the announcements were less than stellar, Nintendo's puppet presentation was fantastic!

I can't really agree, the puppets were pretty boring. E3 2014 was better in both presentation and content.

The puppets were good. Now that they've got the relationship with the Jim Henson company, it would be fantastic if Nintendo made a Metroid TV series in a similar vein to Farscape.

Why must you always be disagreeable...though I'll admit 2014's show was better.

my prediction

a lot of people will whine

Meanwhile, I will wine

It will be Nintendo's best E3 ever or everyone else will have a very stocked E3 next year.

I predict a whole bunch of AAA title disappointment and more NA eShop neglecting/dookie-ing upon.

@TingLz: i admit. i did enjoy watching the puppets
@Bolt_Strike this

• NX Reveal / Games
• Zelda U footage, cross-platform release
• Nindies @ Home demos
• More amiibo
• New Kirby for 3DS
• New Pokemon for 3DS
• Wii U game localization
• Sonic 25th Anniversary game (Generations 2 / Adventure 3 / new title)
• Retro's next project
• New 3D Mario game

Why must Nintendo be so continually disappointing? If 2013 and 2015's lineups are the new standard for Nintendo's level of quality then odds are I may not be a Nintendo fan much longer.

@Bolt_Strike: Yeah, FE:A, ALBW, Super Mario 3D world, New Leaf, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, The Wonderful 101, are just some of the games released in 2013. Nintendo had a decent year but 2015 was a bit sad but other major games have been delayed multiple times.
