Likely

  • Same structure of E3 like last year (Digital Event, daily Treehouse streams, a few roundtables)
  • Smash tournament replaced by Splatoon tournament (sure it will already be out but I expect its release date to be in the Mario Kart 8 slot, namely the last Friday of May)
  • New Mario Kart 8 DLC announced (packs 3 and 4 to be released in August and February to quell the game drought concern
  • Zelda U
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X
  • Devil's Third
  • Mario Maker
  • Yoshi's Woolly World
  • The 2 Project games (Guard and Giant Robot) are part of the Star Fox Wii U game and progress is shown
  • Project Treasure
  • Animal Crossing Wii U (with new amiibo collection based on that series)
  • Lots of GCN and Wii remakes for New 3DS
  • A decent amount of other unannounced games for Wii U and 3DS
  • Fire Emblem 3DS
  • No new hardware outside of possibly the QoL thing
  • Other amiibo collections

Unlikely

  • Smash 3DS/Wii U DLC revealed (Mewtwo in fact not being the only DLC)
  • Exclusive New 3DS games that aren't remakes
  • SMTxFE in fact is not cancelled and tons more details are revealed
  • N64 and/or GCN games for Wii U VC
  • An amiibo game in the same vein as Skylanders and Disney Infinity

I think the main focus will be whatever multiplayer games are present in the Digital Event. Last year it was clear the focus was Smash Wii U and Splatoon of which both of these are heavily multiplayer focused games so this year I don't expect a large focus on Zelda U unless they announce some kind of multiplayer (asymmetrical co-op could work).

Metroid plz.

Check out my YouTube channel if you love gaming, and Nintendo (especially Metroid) I think you'll enjoy my videos. :)

Same as always (i.e hoping for):

"We here at Nintendo are pleased to announce that Square Enix have stopped being massive idiots, and are now translating and localising Dragon Quest: [Anything] to western 3DS owners!".

Massive Applause, Half Life 3 releases, World Peace attained.

...But outside of that fantasy I'd say the only thing I'm really interested in is knowing when we're getting this new Fire Emblem, and hopefully more footage and information.
