Nintendo may not have a main stage E3 press event in its plans this year, but that does not mean it won't have any interesting presentations.
Press have been receiving invitations to two developer discussion events, each scheduled to run for about 90 minutes. The first, planned for Tuesday, 10th June from 7-8:30 p.m. PST, will focus on the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games. Director Masahiro Sakurai is expected to be present.
The second event, scheduled for Wednesday, 11th June from 6-7:30 p.m. PST, is somewhat more mysterious. Nintendo has only revealed so far that this presentation will be on "a new game for 3DS."
Speculation on what this new title may be is already flying on social media, with some theories proving popular. What are you hoping to see during these evening reveals?

Really wonder what it is...
Maybe Miyamoto's new IP??? (probably not)
The second one could be something to do with their NFC project, because that sounds sufficiently big. Is that coming to 3DS or just Wii U?
Otherwise, it could easily be about Pokemon OR/AS. They had an X/Y developer roundtable last year.
What about a Wii U mystery title!??? FOCUS ON THE WII U DAMMIT. I honestly want a Majora's Mask Wii U remake like that fake but brilliant fan trailer was shown. I want it with top notch graphics and orchestrated music!!!
WHAT?!?! But wii u needs it... sheesh.
METROIDSTARFOXFZEROLOSEMYMIND
The new 3DS title is Wario Land 6.
Realistically, it will probably be New Super Mario Bros 6.
It won't be Majora's Mask 3D. I don't think they'd give a remake its own dev discussion since it'd be being ported by a 2nd party with Nintendo just overseeing it. And we can rule out Pokemon since that was announced already.
More than likely it's a Mario game or a new IP. Those are the only two games i can see Nintendo giving that much time to.
I hope though, that it is a new Metroid game. I'd also take a new Wario Land or a new IP so long as it isn't something casual/oriented like most of Nintendo's new IPs since the Wii came out.
Great. More Smash.
Can we please have something different and on the Wii U please?
Ah well, great that another 3DS game.
@Funny_Moblin They already said they will be revealing several Wii U games that will center around the gamepad this year
Either it could be the 3DS NFC title or it could be the Metroid title GameFaq rumored Next Level Games is making
@Wolfgabe Alright. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't centered around this NFC crap.
Super Mario Galaxy 3?
MMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now why would they have a smash round table. I guess it's getting NFC support after all. My apoligys to anyone I argued with about this.
Now why would they have a smash round table. I guess it's getting NFC support after all. My apoligys to anyone I argued with about this.
They funny thing is that, despite all the money they have gained with the huge successes of the Wii and DS, they do not take risks...with more money than never before. So I hear, the Gamecube didn't do too well, but they took risks! The Gamecube was my first console. Super Mario Sunshine was my first game. It was weird for me to see Mario without F.L.U.D.D. It was weird for me to see a Mario Kart game that had one single racer.
I'm thankful to have grown up as a kid around such creativity, and levels that would actually challenge me, frighten me, and have me thinking and trying different methods over and over. I feel bad for the 9 year olds who are growing up around Super Mario 3D World.
I'm loving all of the Wii U first party games, but compared to the risks the Gamecube took, well...that's a different story. To be honest though, even though they are playing it safe, 3D World is pretty much my only complaint. .....Really hoping for Sunshine 2 though, and I want them to make it frustrating and confusing like the first one.
Metroid seems like a good guess seeing as how Wii got a really good Prime game and remakes NPC style of the first 2 in a nicely packaged trilogy so it only makes sense that Nintendo would now move the next game in the franchise to the 3DS rather than Wii U. It's what they do.
And while that paragraph is drowning in sarcasm it also makes sense, since 3DS has been out over 3 years now w/o a Metroid game.
And I could actually see it working really well as a FPS if they let you move the 3DS around w/ motion to look around like in Prime and the switch in Other M.
But I own a Wii U so I will continue to gripe and moan about announcements like this
@faint OH, NO PLEASE--If they add NFC to Smash, then---there goes my hopes for chance at having competitive Smash game mechanics ala Melee.
Punch-Out!!, please!!
No Super Mario Galaxy 3, please. If they do announce it, I'll sell my Wii U.
Also, is the 90-minute Smash presentation-thingy just for announcements? Or does that also include the tournament?
I have no idea but I hope it doesn't suck...
SMASH BROS!! SMASH BROS 3DS!! SMASH BROS 3DS IN SUMMER!!
So excited!
Mystery 3DS title COULD be..:
Air Ride 3D
Majoras Mask 3D
Metroid 3D
Star Fox 3D
F-zero 3D
90 minutes of smash.... I hope they mean without the tournament.. unlikely tho!
@Swiket Other M may not be everyone's favourite, but it still existed
@Prof_Clayton The digital event could focus mainly on the Wii U. They've had a separate 3DS conference before
>>>>>>>>>>>>SONIC BOOM>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Advance Wars 3D would be nice and Is not totally unrealistic. IS finished up FE: A a long time ago now.
Could be Monolith Soft's 3DS title, that looked very intriguing in concept art.
Oh wait.. just saw the time... Noooo!
I'd like another Golden Sun, Advance wars or Fire Emblem game please
Are you guys trying to make me more hyped? Thanks, Tim.
Symphony of the Night 2. Just as it was leaked.
@TheLordAndrew
UGH! E3 WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!
That's right, Nintendo. Dedicate a whole, separate, presentation to a 3DS game. That'll sure improve the hype for Wii U.
A new Megaman ZX game.
@Mr_Rawky Nintendo knows what their doing. Didn't they say that they'll announce multipile games for Wii U? BTW Zelda will get a trailer or atleast information.
So... for the Wii U, we get an already announced game.....
It had better be a new Zelda title- a four swords adventures remake? Or a cooperative title in the same vain...
I tend to support new games and experiences, so I would love to see something new. And no, New Metroid does not count
I supported both The Wonderful 101 and Rusty's Real Deal Baseball. Please let us know more about S.T.E.A.M. or Miyamoto's IP.
I hope this is well listed on their website, because they are having a direct the day before, and this will be during their "constant live-streaming from the back-stage floor" thing, and a SSB tournament or something like that!? Too much going on, I'm too confused!!! I'm worried that I will miss a lot of it!!
Mario Galaxy! Warioware! Majora's Mask 3D! New Metroid! Wario Land! Whatever we say will probably be so far off the mark, there's no point guessing...
Only one person has mentioned it before but I will mention it again!
GOLDEN SUN!!!!
(Although unlikely, let the hope come true!)
@ZenTurtle It's Nintendo, so whatever it is will suck for the fans hoping to see them come back. They know what we want, they just refuse to give it and keep bleeding money.
ITS THE CREEPY PIKACHU GAME!
Really feels like even Nintendo knows the Wii U Is done and doesn't care anymore.
Hmmmm... I'm going to make a very bold prediction and say its a new Kid Icarus. Smashbros part will have details on version connectivity.
I'd say Retro is working on a new IP, so they decided to do a portable Metroid. I think Metroid is kind of a risk right now? So a portable entry is cheaper.
@sinalefa I agree If Miyamoto's IP is given E3 time then I'll be happy
Just because this is a new 3ds game, doesn't mean we aren't getting new Wii U games!
@Crimson_Ridley
Unfortunately, you are right. To Nintendo's credit, however, the fans do have a constantly changing opinion, and are quite demanding...
Well I'll not get my hopes up that it's going to be something special because that will probably just lead to disappointment.
I'm going to go with Metroid or the unannounced MonolithSoft 3DS game.
@shigulicious If this is real, I'm going to be so happy and so mad at the same time.
Happy= FINALLY A NEW CASTLEVANIA GAME AND NOT LORD OF SHADOW BS
MAD= WHY IS NOT ON THE WII U?
I would die if it's Metroid! The timing is perfect...the Metroid games seem to emerge when a platform is mature and the 3DS is surely at that point. Please Nintendo, I would die if it was Metroid and even better if it's back to the Metroid Prime vibe!
I still remember the 1hr separate 3DS conference hype from E32012. And the ensuing meltdowns when they just recapped stuff we already knew was coming.
Please keep your expectations in check.
@Funny_Moblin A Wii U Majora's Mask would take effort.
With 3DS, you can port 20 year old assets and still rank among the best looking on the system.
Majora's Mask 3D, either that or Metroid Dread.
@Hy8ogen The second Castlevania to skip Wii U.....
@SockoMario More Mario is ALWAYS a good thing. Justifies Nintendo consoles.
@memoryman3 So? What if lots of effort is needed? And who knows if they've been working on it for a long time now? I believe us fans deserve a Wii U remake, and you're darn right that lots of effort would be needed.
Wii U Music
Please undastand
@shigulicious Seeing as how Castlevania Lord of Shadow and Mirror of Fate HD skipped Wii U.....
Metroid 5!!!
As much as I'd like to see it, I wouldn't expect it to be Majora's Mask; I think that's being a little too optimistic. I suppose it depends on whether "new" means it hasn't been released yet or it hasn't been announced yet. I'm hoping for the latter.
@rjejr an fps on 3ds?
I don't think that will happen
I, mean, where IS that second analog stick????
@memoryman3 Heh, unless you don't count recently released Moon Chronicles and the upcoming IronFall on the 3ds then yeah the FPS genre on the 3ds is pretty much nonexistent It's not like there were FPS on the Original ds either.... Oh wait.
Kinda disappointing. I mean don't get me wrong. I loooove smash and I can't wait for it. But it's already gotten a lot of attention and news. And honestly it's just a fighting game. There probably isn't much more info that we don't know about. And I do wish they had a new Wii U title to announce. The 3DS already has tons of attention and games. Not so with the Wii U. But the only game that could be announced for 3DS that would actually make me interested would be Monolith Soft's unannounced 3DS title.
If it's New Super Mario Bros. 3, Iwata should be fired.
@triforcepower73 My thoughts exactly!
Ahhhhhhhhh! Majoras Mask 3D!!!!!???? I don't know if I can handle the suspense!
Just a wild, silly guess.
7-8:30 Pacific time. What about eastern?
Not bashing Zelda, but if Majoras Mask gets remade, it will still more or less be the same game. I'm sure Nintendo would not hold an hour and thirty minute long event for a game that most people have seen before. If it's a true remake, there's really nothing new to show that fans don't already know.
My bets go to a new metroid game, so they won't be putting one on wii u for a couple of years
@rjejr
Actually, I think you're right on the money. Mostly anyways.
3DS has been out for 3 years (half its lifespan). Most major franchises have been covered already. We're about due for a new handheld Metroid. I couldn't imagine what else it would be. They've done 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Zelda, Paper mario, Mario Kart, Mario & Luigi, Kid Icarus, Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem, Smash (on the way), Kirby, Yoshi's Island, DKC... yeah, they're scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
The only other possibility I can think of is a new Advance Wars or the second Fire Emblem for this generation (GBA and DS both received at least 2 Fire Emblem games each). It could just as well be Metroid, Advance Wars, or Fire Emblem.
The only thing I disagree on is that Metroid is an 'either or' proposition. Pretty sure both platforms will receive an entry in the franchise. Wii U release will be a few years away though still. I could definitely see them going 1st person again for the Wii U, but not 3DS. Fairly certain it will be 2.5D like Other M, if not entirely 2D. It just fits the hardware better.
What time in UK?
That VD-dev fps IRONFALL looks interesting.
PLEASE BE METROID PLEASE BE METROID PLEASE BE METROID
Metroid will tickle the couple of hundred thousand Nintendo fans who will buy it day 0, but I don't think it's even a million seller anymore. They can launch a game like it and rebuild its brand by actually having a good game.
I am half hoping it's a major exclusive/partnership; COD on 3DS could be huge holiday seller, especially if Activision gets the VD-dev guys to do the 3DS version?
I am however preparing for the worst.
Skylanders spinoff exclusive to 3DS or some doggiepoodlepoopie like that. New featuring Yoshi.
Anyone remember Pacman Vs. the same year Sony revealed the PSP at E3? Nintendo doesn't give a doggiepoodlepoopie sometimes.
Let's share our opinions without profanity -Lz
The hype intensifies.
@19Robb92 Oh yeah. I forgot about that game. I doubt it will be a remake or a Golden Sun (though that would be nice)
Wondering what that mysterious 3DS game is. Perhaps it's Monolith Soft's 3DS game? Advance Wars, Metroid, or another Fire Emblem are the only other games that make any sense. I'd say Golden Sun, but Camelot just finished Mario Golf, so that's probably out of the question.
Also, just wait until Shokio hears about this. He's gonna be pissed about the 3DS game, cause its not on Wii U.
Ok honest question, what game would require 1 hour to demo?
It can only be 1 of two things
1) A major internal game that is complex and has mass appeal - This will be what I call the unknown 'NFC' game which uses the figurines (basically Nintendo Skylanders)
2) A major third party partnership around 1 game -This will be what I call the COD bomb; but if that happens I would assume there will be more than 1 game announced, but the focus will be on 1 game.
Stuff like Metroid / Advance Wars are fan favorites but I feel have limited appeal and work better as 5 minute reels than having an entire hour to itself.
Wii Fit! .... for the 3DS. /jokes/ Metroid would be lovely. 90 minutes though? And are we positive that it isn't about Hoenn remakes OR/AS?
@DestinyMan Wait don't you been PM? PST= Pacific Standard Time?
PLEASE Golden Sun 3DS/WII U AND THEN POKÉMON U/KIRBY U. And a revival of some classic games. Gleefully we'll hear about more GBA AND DS VC games too. Oh gawdI CAN'T TAKE THE HYPE!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dang it, @PrincessEevee9 , you beat me to it(and apparently a few others...dang all of you)! Even though it probably wouldn't get its own event, I'd love to hear if Camelot is getting ready to release a Dark Dawn sequel, because the 3DS should be getting the next installment.
klondike bar jingle What would you doooo....for the next GOLDEN SUN!?
@SleepyCrossing 90 minutes for a remake? Not sure what they could possibly announce for OR/AS outside of returning stuff from RSE. As much as I want to see more about the remake, this 90 minute presentation isn't the time for it. Same goes for a Majora's Mask 3D.
@nomoresupermariobrosgames?
and all serious how about Metroid? At least let be something new nintendo
My best bet is that it's Monolith Soft's 3DS game, assuming the game is a first-party franchise. It's the only game that seems big enough for a 90 minute presentation. 90 minutes is probably longer than the main presentation at the beginning of the Digital Event will be, though who knows.
Of course, if it is Monolith's 3DS game, I see more people complaining that X didn't get a 90 minute presentation than actually being excited about the new 3DS game.
Why does everyone want a remake? I'm hoping for an actually new title. Possibly a new 2D Metroid title. Imagine that!
But but but....Nintendo is "abandoning" E3 because they are suck and Iwata should be fired and, and, and....NINTENDOOM!
Wow, for all the salty games journalists out there pushing nonsense about Nintendo's lack of presence at E3, they sure have managed to catch a lot of hype for their upcoming presence at E3, huh?
@MrWu Exactly the Smash Bros Direct only lasted 30 mins and it seemed to go on forever.
If it's a 3rd party game, which I seriously doubt, what do you think it would be? Castlevania Symphony of the Night 2? Mega Man Legends 3 (lol I wish)?
Right now, the 3DS seems to have solid Japanese 3rd party support from all of the companies except for Konami. Capcom, Sega/Atlus, and Level 5 are secured, and now Square Enix is on board thanks to Bravely Default. Namco is working on Smash, and I'm sure that will draw them in to develop more for the 3DS from their own franchises. Would love to see more solid 3DS support from Konami.
@JaxonH None of what you suggest would need three times the length of the smash bros direct.
This may be about Metroid! Or HAL laboratories working on a 3DS Zelda? Noticed all the triforce symbols in Kirby triple deluxe?!
hmm... I was actually just thinking..., Two big presentations... the Wii U one is smash... now, what about Zelda? Is it just going to be a 2-5 minutes announcement... if they even bother to announce it? We have so much information on Smash as it is and there are so many other games that they announced that haven;'t had a spot light at all, even more so, the official announcement of Zelda U... I am actually wondering if we are even going to get an announcement...
An hour and a half presentation for 1 game? It has to be more than just 1 game, right? Regardless, I'm excited! Starfox is my guess!
E3, get hype!
...
...
Just not too much hype, we all remember the stream.
MY PANTS
I HAVE TO PROTEST
MY PANTS WERE DRY JUST A MINUTE AGO
BAYONETTA 2
HYRULE WARRIORS
ZELDA U
FIRE EMBLEM x SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI
MAKE IT HAPPEN NINTY
@Barbiegurl777 HOENN CONFIRMED!
@Chriiis I am the Eevee that sits upon your head reading your thoughts!
I know we will see more on fe x smt, yoshi yarn, bayo 2 , x, and who knows what else nintendo has for wiiu so plz people chill
Mystery 3ds title 90 minutes hmmmm must be big i can't wait
It's star fox ( hope not it would be better on the WiiU). It's Earthbound ( I can dream). Hmmmm it's Metroid ( again better on Wii U). It could be a Mario Kart 8 port ( that will be alright). It's a Dragon quest 8 remake ( won't happen). A sonic game ( to redundant). Phantasy star reboot ( I'm dreaming again). Pokemon hydrogen and oxygen games ( to many pokemons at once they could make one fore the WiiU). I don't know I would prefer something on WiiU.
It's majora mask
I took the whole week of E3 off of work, so I can relax and collect the news! Also going to the Best Buy Smash Bros event. Looking forward to this! And hopefully that mystery 3DS game will be Majora's Mask 3D!!!
METRIOD .., or a NFC title thats a mix between Nintendo Land & Wii Play U , thats my guess - there is a possibility of a 3D Zelda MM that would be Awesome ..
Urban Champion II. That's right, you saw it first here
Actually that is the new Wii U game that is going to reinvigorate the console.
Good but why isn't Nintendo doing this for Wii U.
@Funny_Moblin I find it hilariously ironic that you complain about lack of innovation, and then beg for a squeal
"or a NFC title thats a mix between Nintendo Land & Wii Play U"
Now that you say it, they could do a new Nintendo land with NFC. No one asked about a Nintendo land sequel, but you know Nintendo. Its bound to happen, a Nintendo land sequel. If not this year, then next year.
@SockoMario im sorry, but why would you be so upset about the announcement of a Super Mario Galaxy 3, or any game, that you'd sell a console.
Anyway, first HD Galaxy game? Yes please
I'm looking forward to watching both of the presentations at E3! I'm always eager to hear more information about new and upcoming games from Nintendo!
@SockoMario Heh, sell a console for a game you don't have to buy. Nice logic bro.
Super mario 3D land 2
4 player
NFC figures can be used for each player
Great more smash bros news god nintendo really could this event be for zelda coming for the wiiu. Nah not important enough.
@Mr_G No lie thats a great idea oh god i hope the new 3ds game is not mario.
@midnafanboy lol i do bring on 3D mario and 4 player with NFC ill be into that
@Mr_G I would get into it if a mario game was like that, but i think we have gotten enough mario games for a couple years in my opinion.
Hmmmmmmmmm what could it be?!
@yojo Hey, a sequel 2 Sunshine is a big and deserving exception. Although, I don't think that creativity (unless I'm proven wrong) for Super Mario Galaxy 2 can get any better, so I would still be happy if a Galaxy 3 was confirmed too.
I wonder if the Symphony of the Night 2 will turn out to be true then...? This 3DS news makes think it will.
@Jetset
Yes..?
Nintendo owns 100% of Monolith Soft. It's a first party studio.
Side scrolling Metroid or GET OUT
are they really going to spend three hrs on two games
Earthbound 3D from Monolith
Handheld gaming is where it's at! Also, keeping my hopes low. A new Nintendo game is great no matter what it is, but not keeping my fingers crossed for that minding blowing surprise.
I think it'll be sonic boom or castelvania or metroid or the NFC thing. No zelda they need a new one for WII U ( shards of nightmare but I think its fake) before focusing on the 3ds again . But it can be MM3d ( awesome)
@Retro_on_theGo exactly
@kereke12 Cause there are several Wii U games being announced during the Digital Event. 3DS needs love too!
Nintendo buys the rights for Megaman from Capcom and creates a huge, open world Megaman game with Metroid/Zelda like puzzles where beating bosses and gaining their weapons allows you to enter new areas and colelct more power ups...NFC figures of Samus and Shulk can be used after you beat the game to add special content mission where they become playable or tag along as backup.
pinches self Okay...that's totally just my fanboygasm dream...sigh
The Monolith game! That one with the trees!
Especially since X is getting finished up, maybe more from the 3DS project is gonna materialise?
@Funny_Moblin
This comment is pure win. Gamecube FTW, Nintendo's best console.
I think its advertised as 1 big game but is probably a big publishing deal, where multiple games are coming and it will all be covered.
My bet is 3DS CoD finally coming this year, plus several other games from Activision
@Funny_Moblin not true it might be just for different outfits or it might be how they do dlc that would be really cool I would rather go out and buy a toy for $10-15 per character then spend $5-10 per character just so much cooler to have something to show for it and they could still go the download route for people that want to be cheap or that don't want the toy too I think it would be grate
I swear this E3 will be insane. I've watched a lot of conferences over the years and other developer interviews/videos and I still feel this one will blow our mind. Cause Nintendo needs to step it up. And stepping it up is something they are capable of.
@FalconPunch I would actually like to see a new Wario land..... but there's only 4.
I hope the big new 3DS game is not a remake/update...but in addition to whatever it is, it would be pretty awesome to get a Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn remake two game set merged into one mega-campaign for 3DS (or Wii U)
For the people saying it's a deal for CoD on 3DS...could be. I think the 3DS is more powerful then a Wii, right? They could always re-purpose the old Treyarch engine for that.
Some people make it seem like it's some kind of Direct-like presentation, but isn't it a Q & A?
And going from having a presentation for a 3DS game to "They don't care about the Wii U" is ridiculous. Just crazy.
Preparing for the Best Worst Case Scenario...
More information on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire OR A new Mario game OR A new IP that's uninteresting (at first)
Preparing for the ABSOLUTE Worst Case Scenario...
Nintendogs: Benny OR A sequel to that Baseball thing OR Flipnote Memo (seriously, I'll be mad if it actually DOES get released at this point).
Preparing for the BEST Case Scenario...
Monolith Soft's title (and it's like Xenoblade) OR A new interesting looking IP OR Metroid
Like a number of others have already stated, I think it'll either be Majora's Mask 3D (the first port of the N64 classic that is actually fully functional) or a Nintendo Skylanders type game for using the 3DS to try and persuade people to buy a Wii U.
@Action51 Wouldn't combining Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn make the latter ridiculously easy? I never used a Path of Radiance file with Radiant Dawn but I thought the bonuses would make the game too easy.
Well, whatever the game may be, watching it in Europe will only be for the true Nintendo fans I guess... Since those are in the range of 3.00 am - 5.00 am over here. Shame really.
If it's a 2D/2.5D/topdown() Metroid I'm finally buying a 3DS. If it's an FPS/TPS Metroid then I'll pass since I prefer mouse or wiimote pointer for FPS games.
Not really interested on OoT and M'sM 3D as I'm getting them on Wii/WiiU VC.
@Gladius_X
Will it be broadcasted? I think it's for press people only. I'd watch it if they'd broadcast at that time. It's better than working hours.
I think the Digital event on the other hand will be around 5pm here so I don't think I'd be able to watch it.
@outburst Well perhaps not a direct broadcast, but there will most likely be some forms of live blogs (like last year)
Hopefully they are lying and unleash a new wiiu game... Zelda wiiu
Well let's think this through - Nintendo's strategy nowadays is play it safe - despite all the coverage Smash has thus far received they still plan on giving it 50% of their live presentation time. Clearly the other 50% will only be dedicated to blockbuster franchise Nintendo know is a guaranteed hit. Of their franchises, the likes of F-Zero, Metroid and Star Fox have never broken through to the masses - only the Super Mario, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Pokemon and Zelda franchises have managed to break the 50million sales barrier over their lifespans. Therefore it's a safe bet that a new 3DS game with this much of an exclusive PR platform would likely be from one of these sure-fire franchises.
Now, they've already done MK7 recently so we can rule a new MK 3DS out. A new Pokemon is already known to be on the way and would they be so discreet if it the conference were about the followup to last year's X and Y? DK isn't the draw he used to be back in the 80s and 90s as proved by Tropical Freeze not seeing more fans adopting the Wii U system. That leaves Mario or Zelda...
We recently had Link Between Worlds so we can discount a brand new Zelda title. I'm concluding therefore the conference is one of three things-
The safe [predictable] option is a presentation on the new Pokemon titles. The surprise option would be a sequel to Super Mario 3D World on 3DS. Or the long shot option would be the announcement of the remake of Majora's Mask that fans have clamoured for since Ocarina 3DS. Either way, I wouldn't expect any groundbreaking announcements in terms of software.
Get ready for Miyamoto's first person shooter!
I hope they'd make SM Sunshine HD and Paper Mario A Thousand Doors like they did on Windwaker. I missed or playing this GC games.
I would love for it to be a new Wario Land. They seemed to completely forget about Wario's platforming series :c
But I would be really quite excited if it was something like Metroid or F-Zero! Or imagine if it was a handheld Pikmin? That would be crazy.
I'm expected to be let down again this year.
I want it to be Majora's Mask 3D, but I know it won't. Nintendo wouldn't start building hype now for a mystery game and then reveal it to be a remake. It would disappoint more people than it would please. Besides, how would they talk for 90 minutes about a game most Zelda fans already know about? Even if they added some new features, it's not possible, and wouldn't be worth people's time.
Also, for those who think Majora's Mask would be great on Wii U, I'm right there with all of you! I think it would be great on the Wii U... Virtual Console!
im aiming low all i want is a date on X
Hope: Majora's mask 3d or some new ip that isnt a casual game
Reality: new super mario bros 3 or a casual game
"a new game for 3DS." like one ? Oo
@FalconPunch Realistically? You know they aren't coming out with a "NEW" Super Mario until they release another system, right?
@Crimson_Ridley If they did everything we wanted it would cost them a lot of money, because only small amounts of people will buy it.
I hope's not Majora's. I mean, I do want a Majora's, but spending an hour and a half falking about a remake it's just a waste of very good oportunity to bump up the 3DS in other ways or, damn, the Wii U, that really reeeally need it.
I hope it's a new IP, or the awesome return of one of the biggest. The 3DS have done a magnificat job with this: They delivered the definitive "this is how this games are gonna be from now on" on Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus and Animal Crossing.
They could be trying to do this with Metroid, Starfox, any of the less big like Advance Wars, which would be very awesome in fact. I think it's a good move to revive some of the old IP like they did with Kid Icarus. That was a very well done job. A Punch-Out wouldn't be that bad either.
Metroid would be great, if any of this two: A 2D game with the best story ever, taking as much as possible from Super Metrid, or a 3DS/FPS developed by Retro with the best versus mode ever. Starfox, I'm going with the "best versus mode ever" for this one too. Maybe Sub-wars was for testing terrain on the matter. I can really see an hour and a half talk about any of this two games happening.
A revitalized Advance Wars would be so awesome. Fire Emblem: Awakening proven that 3DS has a very good number of consumers liking strategy games, and if you add to that an online/local/play-in-the-same-3DS multiplayer... Damn!!
F-Zero? Yes, please! Mario Kart on Wii U and F-Zero on 3DS. Not bad. But I don't see the 90 minutes conference happening over F-Zero.
Now, we have to think how Streetpass would work with this games. That's very important. Or at least Nintendo should give to that feature what it deserves. I love a good Streetpass use in a game.
Damn! There's a lot of games of games and this could take me all day so I´m gonna leave it here. But hey! At the end it doesn't matters...
It's gonna be a new Mii Plaza game!!
@KHaceattorney
You forgot about Shake It.
@Kaizokuman
The New Super Mario Bros. Games... you know the ones that are annual and easy to make, and are exactly the same each time?
E3 a letter and number that makes every gamer drool cannot wait!!
@River3636 A Mario Kart 8 port on the 3DS would kill any degree of system-moving potential the game has for the Wii U. I think we can rule that out.
I want Metroid, Monolift's game, Miyamoto's IP...or something else entirely, if its good
New Advance Wars title please?
@FalconPunch
NSMB DS: 2006
NMSBWii: 2009
NSMB2: 2012
NSMBU:2012
Please explain me, How on earth are those anual again?
Probably not Miyamoto's new IP, since that's supposed to be only on Wii U. Then again, things change.
I hope the mystery game is Fantasy Life for 3DS. Such a shame a game like doesn't get worldwide play.
3DS Metroid or FZero and info on YARN YOSHI!
3DS Music
......
3DS Metroid is all I ask!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be great is they made a 3DS player for wii u so it goes underneath like the gameboy player did for gamecube.
Then we could play 3DS games on the big screen and gamepad.
@Maelstrom WHOA. Metroid Dr3aD would be a-w-e-s-o-m-e.
I can see Next Level handling another classic Nintendo franchise, too. They've done it already with Punch-Out! & Luigi's Mansion.
My personal hope that ain't gonna happen - Wave Race 3: Deep Waters
A new Metroid Prime by November would literally have Wii U flying off the shelves into customers hearts lmao
Just imagine if they incorperated some form of Borderlands like leveling system and coop. Still sticking to the First Person Adventure roots.
I wish it would be a "Super Mario Sunshine" sequel. That would get me ultra-hyped. Although I guess that's something that would be better on the Wii U.
A new IP would be nice too.
Nothing is shocking. The mystery press conference will probably be for Pokemon; just like the footage of a 'new game' during Spike's video game awards was new footage for Donkey Kong: TF.
@Jetset A first-party in relation to video games is a company that creates for and has their games published by the owner of the platform. Monolith Soft is a first-party company, but they don't necessarily make first-party games. Similar to how Rare was able to make games for the DS and GBA after being assimilated by Microsoft.
@Jetset
"Second-party developer
Second-party developer is a colloquial term used by gaming enthusiasts and media often used to describe two different types of game development studios:
Independently-owned studios who take development contracts from the platform holders and what they produce will usually be exclusive to that platform.
Studios who are partially or wholly owned by the platform holder (also known as a subsidiary) and what they produce will usually be exclusive to that platform.
In reality, the resulting game is first party (since it is funded by the platform holder who usually owns the resulting IP), but the term helps to distinguish independent studios from those directly owned by the platform holder. These studios may have exclusive publishing agreements (or other business relationships) with the platform holder, while maintaining independence. Examples are Insomniac Games (which previously developed games solely for Sony's PlayStation platforms as an independent studio) and Game Freak, (which primarily develops the Nintendo-exclusive Pokémon game series)."
@minotaurgamer
Well, not really annual... just overdone with little change between installments.
Some have been Saying that the wii u needs it MOOOOOORE! well, IT DOESN'T!!!!! THE 3DS HAS ONLY 3 UPCOMING GAMES PLANNED FOR RELEASE! AND THE WII U HAS PLENTY OF UPCOMING GAMES LIKE HYRULE WARRIORS, MARIO KART 8 AND "X"!!
@Jetset 100% owned is still first party. Gamefreak is the only second party left. (Camelot isn't because they support e.g The Vital).
@JaxonH - "Actually, I think you're right on the money.
I'm framing that and hanging it on my wall for posterity
Been away all weekend enjoying the weather. And trying to finish up Advance Wars. Only 3 or 4 maps left. That game is one of the most addictive things I've ever played. I wonder if somebody could make a sequel w /the MK8 engine, how cool would that look? (I like all my games to look they they are made out of plastic) And some Ride of the Valkyrie surround sound background music for he copter strikes.
My kid's kicking me off the PC. Man I dont even know what thread this is.
@rjejr
Hahaha, you're hilarious man... This is the E3 presentation thread, for the two games Nintendo is hosting a presentation for at E3.
Ya, I just got Advance Wars Dual Strike and Days of Ruin on the DS after I bought the GBA version on Wii U VC. I played Dual Strike for a bit, and yeah, it's great! If you like Advance Wars, you'd definitely like Fire Emblem. Not sure if you ever played Awakening, but it's one of those games that will be remembered as a classic for many, many years. Like Metroid Prime or Skyward Sword classic. But also, if you can scoop Path of Radiance on GC or Radiant Dawn on Wii, those are great too. Even Shadow Dragon on DS is decent enough.
I went to Gamestop and played Mario Kart 8 yesterday. Let me just say right now, the game does NOT disappoint. I got a guy in Valley Stream, NY, who pre ordered me a copy of the Nintendo World Store exclusive, so I'm pretty excited about that. I just hope he follows through...
@JaxonH - Glad to hear you got yourself covered for MK8, now I can stop avoiding you I'm still thinking about going next Thursday night but I've already saved up $35 in $5 Target GC to get the game there, plus the $1 pre-order card. Should still be a crazy fun night though.
Fire Emblem Awakening, that's the recent 3DS JRPG correct? I played the demo on my wife's 3DS and it was great - I was very impressed the 3DS could pull off a full scale JRPG that well. It's on the list. Maybe Nintendo will put out a $799 12" 3DS to match the new Surface Pro.
I drove past Gamestop and thought about it, but decided I could wait 2 more weeks. I think its been a while since I had day 1 game anticipation as we get a lot of stuff at Christmas or rent it thru Gamefly.
@rjejr
Um, I think you might be thinking of Bravely Default. That's the JRPG, and it did have a demo. Granted, Fire Emblem Awakening had a demo too, but Fire Emblem (the game I was talking about) came out in February of 2013. So about 15 months ago. It was a strategy RPG (grid-style turn-based strategic combat). I know it may not sound that great, but it really is. There's actually a demo in the eShop if you ever get around to it. It was critically acclaimed across the board, and most everyone who's played it consider it to be one of the best releases of 2013, possibly the best game on the 3DS period. You should give 'er a try. I give it Jaxon's Stamp of Approval, so you know it's good! (even though you returned DKC, it WAS a good game, albeit perhaps not for the impatient or unskilled)
Btw, the Nintendo World Store Mario Kart 8 Limited Edition sold out in pre orders in less than 24 hours. I'm glad I jumped on the opportunity, cause I was seriously thinking of just waiting and seeing if you could get it. Turns out they only let you pre order one copy per person anyways.
@JaxonH - "Limited Edition"
Sold out in 24 hours and you had to pre-order in person. That certainly is limited edition. I wonder if more will be kept or Ebayed?
I'm really waiting for a Wii U 3DS game player, or a 3DS to tv via pass-thru Wii U. I was considering a 3DS XL for my birthday but I bought a tv instead.
@rjejr
Haven't seen a single one pop up on eBay yet (people list as pre orders because demand is highest before release). Tbh though, it's so limited I don't think there'll be any on eBay at all. If there are, price is gonna be through the roof due to the extremely, extremely, EXTREMELY limited supply.
I really gotta recommend the 3DS. I don't think we'll be getting any means of playing 3DS on a TV, so it's probably gonna be handheld or bust. But it's my favorite handheld I've ever owned. Easily. The quality of the gaming library is just so good. It's like Nintendo looked at the Wii/DS library and said "no more of this mediocre stuff, we start winning back devoted gamers NOW" and ever since then the quality of their games has been fantastic. On Wii U AND 3DS.
