Nintendo's E3 conference is due to take place today at 9am PST (5pm GMT) and after the pretty amazing show that Microsoft put on yesterday, it's going to take something truly special to astonish the assembled throng.
We've already heard pretty solid rumours that a new Mario game is due to be announced, with the signs pointing to it being on the Wii. However, could Nintendo be lining up an instalment for the DSiWare service, or maybe even a new DS game?
Elsewhere, rumours are also floating around that a new Zelda is on the cards, although the recent confirmation of Spirit Tracks on the DS might suggest otherwise. However, the Wii is surely due a 'proper' Zelda adventure (not one build for the GameCube and then upgraded with motion control at the last minute) so who knows?
We'd like to think that Nintendo has some other surprises up its sleeve, too. Could the company be about to win back the hardcore masses with a new F-Zero? Perhaps we'll see the Kid Icarus game that was hinted at all those months ago? Or will Fox McCloud come out of retirement, hop into his Arwing and take off in another Star Fox episode?
With less than an hour to go, all will be revealed soon. In the meantime, why not post up your own predictions in the comments form below?

The chicken's got the inside track on this! (Not really.) I know everything that will be announced. (I don't.) Iwata stopped by the house yesterday. (That is true.)
I say we will get a new 2.5D Mario game on the Wii and a new Zelda game for the Wii. We will definetly see Wii Fit Plus and we might see a new Kid Icarus game. We will also get NA release dates for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Mario & Luigi RPG 3!
It's the final countdown,WOOT!!
A new Zelda game for the wii, or at least a new Kid Icarus. If neither of those happen i will be dissapointed.
New Super Mario Bros 2 for WiiWare, downloadable immediately after conference.
^ I dreamt that exact thing last night. Let's hope it comes true.
Further proof of Super Mario Bros.

^ Those will be big announcements. Also some third party motion plus games. (Though I think we might have heard them all.) Cross your fingers for some DSi love! Maybe a VHC (Virtual Handheld Console)? One can hope.
A playable Pikmin 3 is what I most want to see. Everything else would just be gravy for me.
Pikmin 3. Wii Fit +. All other Wii Motion Plus games. New Mario. 15 second Zelda teaser.
I'm not fussed about Pikmin 3, unless it's on DS.
2 Pikmin games have already been released this year. That's enough Wii Pikmin for now, despite them both being re-releases.
I hope they tell us about that rumored Mario game!... and more Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver.
Super Mario Wii looks alright but nothing special
Golden Sun DS! _
Alas, the game I most wanted to see was nowhere to be found. I can't help but be a tad let down.
Star Fox Star Fox Star Fox!
WORST PREDICTIONS EVER
