Maybe too soon to put this, but if you think about it E3 is not that far away! And I thought we could also use this topic to keep organized E3 news and stuff.

So yeah, what would you want to see on this year's E3? Any thoughts? Are you getting excited or you're a bit skeptical after last year?

First of all, I have to point out that last year's Nintendo E3 wasn't as disappointing as some people say. It was the beginning of a new generation with Wii U. And sure, we didn't see much game announcements, not very exciting news, but in the end we saw what we, may I say, "needed": more information about the Wii U and some demos that show the capabilities of the console.

That said, I start talking about why this E3, in my opinion, will be great. Well, I'd even say has to be great. With the recent announcement of the PS4 and probably the unveiling of the NextBox just around the corner, Nintendo can't disappoint people. If they do, they would be a little screwed up.

And how can Nintendo make people feel excited for the Wii U? Games! Tons of games from fan-favorite franchises and new unexpected ones. Nintendo has to prove why people should buy a Wii U. Does that mean Starfox? Yes. Metroid? Yes. F-Zero? Yes.
They have to show everything they have to counterattack the other companies' strategy and announcements.

I'd like to see:
- SSB Wii U and 3DS, but not just screenshots, a prototype short video and an official name would work like a charm to create hype.
- A lot of new game announcements and more information about games already announced (like Wind Waker U).
- Mario Kart U and an approximate release date.
- Nintendo classics reborn: Metroid, Starfox, and F-Zero. We also have Retro's secret project, which could be one of these.
- Zelda 3DS announcement: name, short video (demo?).
- Maybe it's too early, but something related with the new Zelda Wii U, something like the picture they put of Fi and Link some years ago for Skyward Sword.
- More Pokemon X and Y, and a new Pokemon game for Wii U (Stadium 3!).
- Even more unexpected and shocking announcements!

That's why I think this year's E3 will be one of the best one in years. The best Nintendo show-off yet has to be now or never! (http://youtu.be/dJ-QLl5qjLg)

After watching the Zelda announcement for the Wii U, I am pumped for the next release. I'm glad they decided to go back to the main stream Zelda type games.

Also, THANK YOU TWITTER. You made Miyamoto realize people wanted a new F-Zero game. I can't wait to see if they say anything about the topic in the upcoming E3. Doubt it, but It's something to look forward too.

After how great this last Luigi's Mansion was, I wouldn't mind seeing one again--although I suppose they don't want overkill. I have no doubt that there will be another one, I just doubt it will be for the 3DS.

Also, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney needs to be announced for the US, as does Ace Attorney 5 and--failing the former--Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies.

Oh, and Zero Escape 3! If we have to wait ANOTHER three years between installments, I'll go insane.

Aww, I wanted to make this topic again! XD

I loved last years E3 for one thing; Reggie.

AA5 and AA vs. PL were both announced for the US, we just don't have a release date yet.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney hasn't been confirmed yet; I don't know about AA5.

Yeah, AA5's NA release was confirmed a while ago. I thought I read the same thing about AA vs. PL but I guess I was wrong.

I dsaid this before and I'll say it again, I have high hopes for the Wii U. Developers have had kits for well over a year now, so I think we can expect some unique and original content besides the usual Nintendo Franchise stuff.

High hopes, only time will tell if we will be let down.

I want to see the next LoZ title, and as Slow said, see some PL vs AA news! I hope we get a release date, or at least news on it.... I'd like to see better Wii U titles, because I'm still not completely sold on one just yet other than Pikmin 3 or the HD remake of Wind Waker.

I wouldn't mind a new Super Mario Galaxy...

I think they did everything they could do with the first two; a third might just feel repetitive. However, I would enjoy a new Super Mario platformer--Super Mario 3D Land was fun and all, but it was pretty much just New Super Mario Bros. in a 3D setting. There was no strategy and it just felt like casual play. I want a true sequel to the other 3D platformers--Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and the Super Mario Galaxy games--where you hunt for stars rather than just walk around until you hit the flagpole.

I'd like more games like that indeed - working for stars is better, and offers more challenges. Frustrating or not, it's good gameplay and it's a brilliant feeling of accomplishment. SM64 was annoying to beat, and the last few levels were hell for me, but when I got all the stars I felt awesome. Same for the final star in Galaxy 2.

I want that feeling in my Mario games. That sense of accomplishment and pride after getting certain stars. I don't need another "get to the flagpole with rehashed backgrounds and music".

The 3D games were always about earning stars, the more conventional platformers followed the original spirit of "Getting to the goal" of the NES/SNES series. Super Mario 3D Land was an extension of that, if the title didn't give it away, for some reason. (Remember Super Mario Land?)

Well yeah, but the developers stated that the reason they used that name was because Super Mario Land was the first Super Mario game on a handheld, and Super Mario 3D Land was the first 3D Mario game on a handheld. Still though, 3D Land was fun as hell, just very very casual gameplay as opposed to 64 or the Galaxies.

The Galaxies are my favorite (I want to play them now but alas, schoolwork!!!) and I loved their gameplay and the fact it provided an actual challenge, as I said before.

I am curious as to what the pokemon game for the Wii U will be... I hope it's good...

It's Pokemon Rumble U....most likely the same stuff as the previous two :P

Oh.

Bleh.

Every single thing Warioman said.  SO much want.

I really do hope they have a new franchise to surprise us, kinda like they did with Pikmin.  That would be sweet.

And Slow, you are 100% right.  Man I miss 64.

Pikmin's a new franchise?   ???

I think he means how Pikmin was brand new and kind of blind sided us because Nintendo is well known to simply expand on their current franchises. Pikmin was a new franchise, and it'd be cool to see something innovative like that again.

Layton sort of did the same thing for me, despite not being produced by Nintendo.

Miyamoto said he was working on a brand new IP a while back. I'd love to see what it is at E3 this year.

I would love to see Miyamoto present us with another one of his hobbies. Reggie, deliver the righteous news from on high!

Blueflower, yes, Slow's right.

Roz, here's hoping.

Maestro ilu

Miyamoto is my favorite person at Nintendo. Hands down.

If Miyamoto is God, and Iwata is Jesus, then Reggie is St. Peter.

Who is Koji Kondo?

And who is Sakurai and Itoi? And Kazumi Totaka?

Kazumi Totaka is pretty cool, but his legacy doesn't match Koji Kondo's. Unfortunately they haven't used Totaka very much lately :/

But his song is epic

Lol yeah. He's kind of hilarious, doing subtle stuff like that and also being silly when he voices Yoshi and KK Slider and E Gadd and such XD

Koji Kondo is Pope Gregory I (the Great), Sakurai is Mary Magdalene, and Itoi is Simon.

Retro are supposed to announcing something that "We've all been waiting for." People think it's Banjo-Kazooie, but I think it may be a 3D Donkey Kong game, similar to DK64. Or a DK64 remake. Banjo-Kazooie just seems too... (I can't believe I'm about to say this) dead.

Rest in Peace, my wonderful Bear and Bird.

Well DKC3D has already been announced by Nintendo, remember?

Yeah, I meant like a 3D roaming world, like Galaxy. But I didn't know that this was coming. BYE-BYE MONEY! ^_^

Quote from: blueflower999 on April 03, 2013, 04:10:41 PMBut doesn't Microsoft own the Banjo Kazooie tittle?

Well, technically Rare owns B-K, and Microsoft owns Rare, so it's a vicarious ownership. There was a rumor that Nintendo had bought B-K's ip and had given it to Retro, but since Retro turned Grant Kirkhope down (The composer for B-K), it's highly unlikely that Retro are working on a B-K. Nintendo was supposedly interested in buying Rare back, but it's been a while and hope has been lost. Unless Microsoft is holding on to them like a bar of gold since Rare is their best appeal to younger markets. Plus Kinect Sports was made by Rare, so they could hardly take that from Micro.

There is still a chance that Nintendo will go, "What the hell," and buy Rare/B-K and make B-K just for the fans since ever since Nuts and Bolts, everyone's been screaming for a true B-K 3. Who knows? Miyamoto may be sitting there going, "Hee hee. Just wait my pretty's!"

As much as I love Rare, the magic they once had is long since gone. Most of the people who made it great left the copmany, though Kirkhope once suggested that there was a time where a bunch of them considered just making Banjo-Threeie themselves.

Banjo-Kazooie had a hell of a run, but if any news about a new game comes out I'll be tentative but anxious.

More than 1 non-gimmick game

Something that makes the Wii-U actually look like something I would want to buy

And no, it won't be banjo.  Microsoft owns the IP along with the rest of Rare and there is no indication that they were getting rid of that anytime soon.  Grant Kirkhope has recently said that he would love for ex-Rare to come together to make a sequel, which tells me that there isn't anything even in consideration for a long time.  Unless they were going to make a game without Grant Kirkhope, in which case I wouldn't want to buy it.

I expect to see Smash formally announced, perhaps Zelda hinted at, and that they will finally show that Retro game you were discussing.  Maybe they'll finally have another Mario game worth playing and not New Super Mario Bros 25: Rainbow Edition, and I would love to see a surprise new Star Fox game.

You need to get over New Super Mario Bros., they're outrageously fun and I don't care if they do release 25, I never get tired of Mario side-scrollers. Of course they're all extensions of the same material, but if the material is fantastic to begin with there's nothing wrong with that. It's okay to have casual games that don't require a lot of thought.

I'm with Kefka. The last thing we need is another "New" Super Mario brothers.

I'm with Slow. The games are so much fun, but I still would like something more original.

I don't gev why people don't like the NSMB series, sure they're simple and easy to make, but that's the point. They're meant to be simple fun rides with familiar gameplay. Besides, Nintendo has to make games like that so they can get money to make the next great 3D Mario platformer.

There's still going to be a new Mario game, and a new Zelda, whether it's this year or next. I want to see something totally new, not something we know is coming anyway.

I'm sure we'll see more of Dream Team which is great.

The NSMB games are fun, but they tend to make the same game, with a few tweaks, on a different console or whatever. So they're okay, but.... overdone.

That, and they are made to be overly casual.  All of them are far too easy and better off as party games where you all just dick off and throw people around.

Which I guess is part of the draw but ehhh it's the same game being rereleased over and over so I'm done with it.  Super Mario 3D land is a fantastic example of how they can keep the basic formula but change it up a bit to be interesting, new, and fun, which is exactly what they don't do with every NSMB release.  Though it's pretty easy so far too, eh.

You cannot tell me you love Super Mario 3D Land but hated Super Mario Galaxy. Just what.

Also yeah 3D Land is super easy in the first eight worlds, kind of challenging in the second eight. You won't be too stuck with this game, it isn't that difficult to 100%.

Topic revival!

Only 7 days for Nintendo's E3. Last bets anyone?

SUPER SMASH BROS 4 SCREENSHOTS

I want to see some AA vs. PL action. Also AA5. And ofc I want to learn more details about the new 3DS Zelda game.

Quote from: Roz~ on June 04, 2013, 06:13:30 PMI want to see some AA vs. PL action.

So much this D: Nintendo would be stupid not to localize the game... I'm not feeling hopeful, though, especially considering the fact that they announced Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies, which was released in Japan after Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, before so much as acknowledging PLvAA.

With Layton having such a big audience, it's the perfect way to get North American players into the Ace Attorney world before the 5th game comes out. Plus, AA has a pretty big cult following in North America.

I mean, if they're localizing the new installments of both Professor Layton and Ace Attorney, it doesn't make sense not to localize the crossover.

You have to keep in mind something, Slow.

How long did it take for them to localize Mother 3?

Nope, I already thought about that. I think they should learn from the multitude of fans who cried out at the injustice to the Mother series.

I think the release of AA5 will be important. I think that if they see the game sells well in the US/Europe, then they will consider localizing it. They did say they were disappointed in the AA sales lately... so yeah. We gotta hope people buy AA5 if we want AA vs. PL I think.

Quote from: MaestroUGC on June 04, 2013, 07:43:13 PMYou have to keep in mind something, Slow.

7 years and counting because it was never localized outside of Japan.

If you're talking about Mother 2/EarthBound, that took 18 years.

Geez, it's a 3 game series. Get the titles straight.

Eh, I'm disappointed about there being no official English release for Mother 3, but I can see why they didn't before, since they screwed up with advertising Earthbound when that came out, and Mother 3 apparently wasn't well-received in Japan.

I'd be kind of worried if AA:DD's reception is important, seeing as there's already backlash from it being announced as a Download-only title. Then again, wouldn't Layton's developers have a say in localizing it too? So I would think it would be brought over due to Layton's popularity even without taking into account Capcom's worries for Ace Attorney.

Quote from: K-NiGhT on June 04, 2013, 10:58:29 PMsame. i've been waiting for a portable smash bros for YEARS

Why? I mean, do you think a SSB game can fit in a portable system? I'm afraid the 3DS version would be limited compared to the Wii U version. Either that, or... the Wii U version would be downgraded to be on par with the 3DS version.

I don't like the idea of "exclusive" things of the Wii U/3DS version either. Besides, if you want to boost Wii U sales, why would you release the same game on 3DS too? :P

I'm very skeptical about the 3DS version yet... We'll see if they say something next week either way.

I'm pretty sure they've already said it would be for 3DS. And also, look at Kid Icarus Uprising. That game has fantastic graphics and multiplayer which both are probably more difficult to put on a portable handheld than a smash title.

I'm really glad that Nintendo is on a different time frame of console generations from Xbox and Sony. I really enjoyed my Xbox 360 (never owned a PlayStation), but this new Xbox One coming out is just... Idk. If it's what the reviews are saying, then I know I ain't buying one. I mean, come on! What about stores like GameStop? A lot of GameStop's income is from their their used and owned game sales (but it's still a video game shop, so it won't go out of business). Not only that, we won't be able to trade in our games. PlayStation isn't doing much better either, from what I've read. Nintendo will be laughing in their throne when third party companies come crawling over. But anyway, back on to the topic of Nintendo related stuff...

Super Smash Bros 4 being created by Namco Ban Dai? Amazing. I don't know much about Sora, but Ban Dai has made some of my favoritest games, from the Soul Calibur games to the Dragon Ball games. My hopes are set to the max for this game ;D

Pikmin 3 looks pretty awesome, that's a game I'll definitely be buying. It looks like it has more strategy involved.

As usual, I'm always expecting a word on F-Zero, but that more than likely won't happen.

There's so much to expect, it's nerve racking! COME ON E3, START ALREADY!

Nintendo knows what it's doing. It's been doing it the longest and has seen the likes of Atari and Sega rise and fall. Hopefully, it will continue to do so.

I just said it was easy.


So now that details of all the consoles are coming out, they all seem to have some nice huge flaws.. I guess it just depends on what games they are going to show off as to whether or not people will really get excited for any one of them.

It'll take a lot to get me interested in either of those consoles. I'm really not impressed so far.

Hoping for information over the new SSB, anything about Pokemon, Mario Sunshine remake and GBA games in eShop.

Also Pokemon games in eShop. GIMME DAT SHIZ NAOW.

SSB4 trailer confirmed by Sakurai. Prepare yourselves.

I just hope that the new SSB has levels as awesome as SSBM. Those stood unrivaled by those in SSBB. I'm always playing the past stages. :P
(If they bring back Young Link I'm going to have a heart attack due to ecstaticism)

Really? I thought Brawl was a huge improvement over Melee, including the stages.

I don't think anything will ever beat Melee Final Destination.

They really should bring back ALL characters that have appeared in the first 3 games plus 6 or 7 new. That'd be so awesome.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 07, 2013, 10:50:09 AMReally? I thought Brawl was a huge improvement over Melee, including the stages.

Melee stages were ok, but Brawl ones are the real thing. I don't care what people say, but New Pork City is one of my favorite stages ever!

---

Also, idea! I think they should call it Super Smash Bros. Universe, I mean, it's the perfect name!

But not just that! It'd called Universe for something right? Well, I'd like to see the map of the adventure mode with various franchise universes. Example: Mario Universe, it would have some stages of course, and the bosses and enemies would be from the Mario series. I am a little disappointed in Brawl because the only enemies of a franchise you could see were Koopas, Goombas, Hammer Bros... Only Mario enemies, you know what I mean. But no Waddle Dees or Space Pirates or Octoroks.

The story could be something like: Someone (the main enemy, like Tabuu) is conquering entire universes, and for example, you start on the Mario Universe. Once you've defeated the boss of the Universe, you would have access to a portal that leads to more universes (another thing is that the conqueror is using some special portals to communicate universes, and this could also explain why in Brawl all characters are in the same island with no real reason; because they were sent there by the conqueror so he could conquer their universes more easily while they were busy battling Tabuu).

So, you'd have to go liberating universes and encountering more characters as you continue (something like Brawl, but with more sense). Example: after clearing Mario universe you go to the Pokemon Universe, and there you would recruit Mewtwo, the Pokemon Trainer, Jigglypuff, Pikachu etc...

Of course, you'd have the choice to follow different paths, and hidden special stages on each universe are guaranteed (for example, you can go back to the Mario Universe to do secret stages with hidden enemies and bosses).

The conqueror would also be resurrecting bosses from each franchise to help him, so that would explain the presence of already dead enemies.

And in the end, you'd go to the Final Universe, homeland of the conqueror.

So this is my idea of the perfect SSB4, what do you think?

I just want Fox, Roy, and Lucario at least.

Okay just a small point here--there is no conceivable way they'd bring back all or even most of the previous characters, not least because the 3DS might not be able to handle that much. I'm guessing all the characters that were in the original Super Smash Bros., plus MAYBE a few major ones from Brawl, plus some from newer Nintendo games. Also there's the question of Sonic and Snake.

They better add Mega Man.

Exactly, that's why I'm against the 3DS version. :P
If you want a HUGE game, you need a pretty decent amount of memory. If not, limitations, limitations and more limitations, like less characters, like you say. I even can imagine Sakurai saying "we didn't really add "x" character because there was not enough memory left".

Also, edited my previous post and added an idea on the story mode.

The 3DS doesn't have anything resembling a decent fighting game. I think this could be what the 3DS needs.

Either way, I really hope Professor Layton is a playable character.

omg yes

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 07, 2013, 11:58:12 AMThe 3DS doesn't have anything resembling a decent fighting game. I think this could be what the 3DS needs.

Oh, and I almost forgot about this:

Not really confirmation, but it was made by people working on the game. So it can be safe to say that most, if not all, of the franchises represented will be returning.

At a quick glance, I see:

Kirby
Meta Knight
Mario
Luigi
Wario
Link
Pit
Samus (notably without the power suit)
A Pikmin
Pikachu
Mr. Game and Watch
Mr. Saturn
The Sandbag
Whoever that is above Pit
Fox McCloud
Donkey Kong
Master Hand

Also, Blueflower, I think it's reasonable to hope that Mega Man could be in it. After all, they've been going on a spree of releasing Mega Man games on the 3DS eShop lately.

Also I think Professor Layton is more plausible now than he was for Brawl. At the time Brawl was released, the only Professor Layton game that had been released was Curious Village, less than a month before Brawl was released. Now, however, with five games out and a sixth one announced, there might be more of a possibility.

I personally think that it might be more probable that the Layton series is represented like Animal Crossing was in Brawl: a stage, some items, some Assist Trophies, Stickers, music, and the like.

Layton as a playable character would be difficult to design considering how much of a gentleman he is.

Marth.

Also, Sonic is very likely to be in SSB4 because of Lost World and the partnership Sega has with Nintendo lately. I would be very surprised if they removed him.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 07, 2013, 12:11:33 PMAlso, Blueflower, I think it's reasonable to hope that Mega Man could be in it. After all, they've been going on a spree of releasing Mega Man games on the 3DS eShop lately.

Yeah, they should definitely add Mega Man too. I always imagined a battle against Wily with one of his Machines.

Quote from: blueflower999 on June 07, 2013, 12:48:42 PMLayton as a playable character would be difficult to design considering how much of a gentleman he is.

Indeed, my good sir! I can't see Layton in SSB as a fighter, I just can't.

I still think they could make use of his fencing talents. Diabolical Box, Eternal Diva, and Miracle Mask displayed them pretty well :D Other than that, I don't know.

Quote from: K-NiGhT on June 07, 2013, 06:15:50 AMIt'll take a lot to get me interested in either of those consoles. I'm really not impressed so far.

The problem I have is that there arent enough non-Nintendo console exclusives.  So many games now are just released multiplatform so I can just play on my PC.  Then wait 2-3 years for a Nintendo console to get a great library and pick that up...

that and now xbox one games apparently won't be able to trade in or sell at places like GameStop.

Not that I care about selling used games. Never have, never will.

But yeah, the best strategy right now at least for me, (like Kefka) is to buy multiplatform games on PC and then eventually get a Nintendo for their exclusives.

Wait, SSB4 is gonna be on 3DS? I thought it would've been on WiiU..

Quote from: JDMEK5 on June 07, 2013, 03:29:15 PMWait, SSB4 is gonna be on 3DS? I thought it would've been on WiiU..

It's coming out on both.

Oh ok.
Are they gonna be able to connect inter-consolearily? That would be cool.

As of now, rumors point to yes.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 07, 2013, 12:51:49 PMI still think they could make use of his fencing talents.

Those would probably be smash moves, like tilts, combos, arieals. And the Specials would be puzzle based?

Actually JDMEK, you bring up a point I've thought of.  What I would love to see is an announcement about some way to connect the Wii U and the 3DS.  Kind of like the GC-GBA connectivity, with the same level of ingenuity and a higher level of accessibility (wireless).  This could open up so many amazing possibilities.  What if they made a huge multiplayer Fire Emblem game where the TV showed the huge battle, the GamePad showed battle stats and stuff like that, and everybody with 3DSs could zoom in on the combat, maybe take control of specific units.  Or there are SO many genius ways they could do a Layton game with that connectivity.  The list goes on.

Pretty sure it's not just a rumor and they are gonna be able to connect. Kinda like the PS3 and PSVita connect for they Smash copy game.

I didn't even realize it was a rumor.  I just came up with it.

Quote from: TheZeldaPianist275 on June 07, 2013, 06:13:35 PMOr there are SO many genius ways they could do a Layton game with that connectivity.

You have given me a new game-I-want-most-made. It'll probably never happen, but a man can dream, damn it.
Speaking of, I wonder if they'll cover Azran Legacy at E3? Or give us localization news on Layton x Ace Attorney?

this picture is gold

"While some suggest this new project is likely to be a return to the Metroid franchise, we'd love to see another Nintendo hero get the retro stamp of excellence. After all, having rolled out the barrels for Donkey Kong, perhaps it's time Retro pulled off a barrel roll of a different kind."
- Retro Studios, interview with Official Nintendo Magazine, January 2012

Took an old quote from Retro. Could this mean their project really is a new Starfox? Or it's just a casual coincidence?
Anyways, one thing's for sure, there's no better time to fully announce it than this E3.

Starfox, Metroid or whatever, it seems to be a huge game!
Just 2 more days and we will finally find out.

#1st trailer post


VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ GOING ALL GTA AND SHIZ makes this trailer worth watching

The game itself looks awesome! But never gonna buy it because you're forced to buy separate toys to unlock more characters (same thing goes for Pokemon Rumble U).

I hate that. I HATE IT. And it's a real bummer, since looks very nice.

---

Final day, finally! Quick, last bets? Here are mine:

- Retro's project is Starfox. I'm calling it. Release date announced not at E3, later.
- Super Mario 3D trailer and demo. Release date: maybe holidays 2013.
- Mario Kart 3D trailer and demo, too. Release date: with Super Mario U, to boost sales even more on holidays 2013.
- More Wind Waker HD. Final release date, playable demo of Windfall Island (since it appears to be modeled already) with some     
  little sailing to find out the new sailing controls.
- F-Zero U. Also calling it. Just a trailer, nothing else.
- Monolith's X, approximate release date (mid-2014?), long trailer and official name.
- Metroid U, Prime style. Short trailer. Release date not announced.
- 3rd sonic game. Release late 2014. Lost World: holiday 2013.
- Kingdom Hearts III also coming to Wii U (I hope...)
- Announcement of an account system for Nintendo Network. More details at a later date.
- GC games finally confirmed for Virtual Console, and maybe Ambassador Program for early Wii U adopters.
- Not much about Zelda U, maybe a picture. Release date mid/late-2015.
- Surprising new exclusive Wii U game/s (something like Bayonetta 2).
- SSB official name, short trailer and release date late 2014, if not 2015.


Regarding 3DS, not as much as with the Wii U:

- Layton VS Phoenix being localized. Azran Legacies release date.
- More Mario & Luigi Dream Team stuff.
- Pokemon X and Y (obviously, duh).
- Link to the Past 2 release date. Majora's Mask 3D finally announced, developed by GREZZO like OoT3D (release: mid-2014).
- Wario Land 3D. 'Nuff said.

My predictions:

-Yeah, Retro's new game is probably Star Fox  ::)
-MKU & SMU this holiday would be great.
-What is Monolith's X?  I've heard about it, but don't really know what it is.
-Kirby & Metroid would not be a surprise.
-GCN GAMES FOR VC OH PLEASE
-Bayonetta 2.  They've gotta show this one.
-Lots of X & Y stuff.
-Lots of ALttP2 stuff.
-No MM3D
-Limited stuff on NSLU, Pikmin 3, and TWWHD, with release dates so close.  Prolly a little more on 101.
-Dream Team, MPwhatevernumberwe'reon, and SMASH BROS.
-Fire Emblem for Wii U?  :'( Pretty please?

SUPER HYPED


it comes for the wii u too so its technically related to the thread

BRING IT ON!

Guys, where are you watching this?  My video refuses to play for more than 2 seconds.

MEGA MAN IS IN SMASH BROS 4

AAAAAAAAHHH

OMFGGGGGGGG SSB TRAILER. SAKURAI, YOU THE BOSS. But seriously, villager? You better add 10 more cool characters to compensate for it. Don't saying it's bad but... there are better character out there that would be better for SSB. The Newcomer trailers were godly wonderful, specially the 2nd one. (don't want to spoil)

Spoiler

Also: (no particular order)

1. NO WAY RETRO'S BEEN WORKING ON SOMETHING SUPER SECRET FOR + 2 YEARS AND IT'S ANOTHER DONKEY KONG. NO WAY.
I STILL BELIEVE THEY'RE WORKING ON STARFOX DAMMIT. Besides, Donkey Kong is not "another hero", it's the same one. IT HAS TO BE FOX! THEY WILL ANNOUNCE IT SOONER OR LATER.

2. Super Mario 3D World looks interesting. But Cat Mario?! WTF?! It's awesome, but weird!
The SUPER AWESOME THING about this is the multiplayer. Really like it. THIS is what we needed instead of NSMBU back then.

3. Bayonetta 2. Why does it have to release next year again?

4. A little bit disappointed with Monolith's X still called simply "X". Anyways, the game itself looks incredible.

5. No F-Zero after all... Or Metroid... Or Wario... Maybe next time.

6. MEGAMAN IN SSB!!!! I WANTED HIM THERE SINCE MELEE!!! AND HIS TRAILER IS SUPER AWESOME! OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! AND DAT WILY STAGE! XD
Still not happy with the 3DS version so far. 100% chances I'm buying the Wii U version.

7. MARIO KART 8! OMFG! THEY DID IT! THEY ADDED SOMETHING REALLY NEW! Was that really possible? I believe some people at Nintendo are just magic... BUT WHY SPRING 2014!? I WANT IT NOW! DX

8. Wind Waker HD looks schweet! But I don't really like that blue "HD" below the logo. :P

[close]

I give this presentation a 9. Had enough things to get excited for, but a little bit more unexpected really breathtaking news an it would've been perfect. For example, what's really Retro's secret project? Tell us already! Iwata didn't say it was DKCRTF (so many letters) per se anyways. It HAS to be Starfox. It HAS to be. I'm sure.

FAIRY TYPE. ME GUSTA. BEST POKEMON NEWS EVER. :D

VILLAGER FOR 2014 I LOVE IT

AND FAIRY TYPE HAHAHA YES

^ I wish they would release a full list of which ones are changing! So far the only ones confirmed on the website are Gardevoir (Psychic/Fairy), Marill (Water/Fairy), and Jigglypuff (Normal/Fairy). Also a full list of type matchups for Fairy would be nice.

YELLOW DEVIL IN SMASH 4. WE ARE ALL DOOMED. O__O

http://www.zeldauniverse.net/a-link-between-worlds/

hfffff

Fairy type.

Shit.

My thoughts:

-Pokemon X & Y: Looks absolutely great to my untrained eye.  The only problem I have is the Pokemon-Amie.  That looks retarded.

-Super Mario 3D World: This was a bit of a disappointment.  The game will be good, I know, but Slow put it well when he called it a "3D version of New Super Mario Bros."  I really just want a full 3D game.

-Mario Kart 8: Bring it.  Who needs gravity?

-Wii Party U: Meh.  I don't really see much difference between this and the Mario Party series, so it doesn't look terribly compelling.

-Wii Fit U: No footage.  I don't think this one will as heavy a hitter as the Wii version.

-Art Academy U: This shows a lot of foresight on Nintendo's part.  I'm interested to see where they take this.

-3rd party games: That was a good montage.  Hopefully this will help the Wii U along.

-eShop games: Meh.  Quality is decidedly taking a turn for the worse.

-The Wind Waker HD: Looks gorgeous.  The Tingle bottle idea is genius, although I still hold to my last post, that if they made a way to connect 3DS it would open up so many new options.  This is an example.  Oh yeah, did you guys notice the speed boost while sailing?  :D

-The Wonderful 101:  This looks stinking awesome.  Looks like a lot of crazy, high quality fun.

-DKCTF: Looks good, but that's the problem.  Just good.  I am honestly tired of Nintendo being a platformer assembly line.  There's just so much DK and Mario, I want new, innovative games!  The 3DS really hit the spot with Dark Moon and Awakening.  I want to see the Wii U do that too.  Metroid, Star Fox, Kirby, and F-Zero.  That's all you need to make Wii U a hit, Nintendo.

-Bayonetta 2: This should be good for Wii U.  Looks crazy.

-X: Looks even better.  Make this a system seller, please.

-Smash Bros 4: 3DS visuals bother me.  Also, I really wish they would stop bringing in 3rd-party characters.  It'll still be an awesome game though.

-NSLU: Great.

-Pikmin 3:  Better and better every time they show it.  I am so pumped for this.

-Dream Team: This will be AWESOME.  Nintendo can easily make this one of the best games for the system.

-Yoshi's New Island: MEh.  Same problem with DKCTF.

-A Link Between Worlds:  8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Oh yeah Dream Team still looks awesome! I love that series.

I hope there will be more new characters in SSB other than just Animal Crossing and Mega Man. I do love how they opened the trailer with Animal Crossing though.

Quote from: TheZeldaPianist275 on June 11, 2013, 08:57:24 AM-Also, I really wish they would stop bringing in 3rd-party characters.

Wait, what? The Mega Man trailer was the most epic thing I have seen in a long time. They incorporated a great variety of powers from the previous games. Also, you can't possibly expect every single character in Smash 4 to be 100% Nintendo made.

By the way, the Metal Blade is so cheap in Mega Man 2 that it might as well be his final smash.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! First, Fairy Type, now this! Stop it.. :'(

They better add 20 more COOL characters to compensate for this. >_>
Even a Mr Saturn would've been better.

if falcon isn't on this game im going to have to throw something

Why wouldn't he be in the game? He's part of the original 12.

The Wii Fit Trainer is the stupidest thing I've ever heard, including Honey Queen in Mario Kart 7~

I don't think that Falcon will get cut, but Ness was considered to be cut before.

Anyways, stoked on Mega Man! Fairy-type sounds fun too.

I think we'll only see the addition of one or two more third party characters in Smash, Sakurai has stated that he doesn't want to go overboard with them.

Quote from: MaestroUGC on June 11, 2013, 12:17:15 PMI think we'll only see the addition of one or two more third party characters in Smash, Sakurai has stated that he doesn't want to go overboard with them.

I agree with Sakurai on not adding a lot of third party characters, but Mega Man is reasonable because he has his origins in the NES. Anyways, if you don't add more third party characters, at least add good first party ones!

The whole Wii Fit Trainer thing has to be a joke. Seriously, how are you supposed to put her in the Story Mode? Does she help Wario get thin? :P

No more surprises like this one, please...

Also... This isn't fun anymore. Reggie, WHERE'S MY STARFOX!?

I don't think Story more has been anything more than "and then Mega and Snake showed up to fit Bowser and Ganon. And then they kissed."

I just want my Olimar and Game&Watch in Smash.

I'd like to see Pikmin 3 captains too as different outfits for Olimar, or at least Alph.


Also, .

Alright, I admit it was fun to see Mario, Link and Kirby doing yoga, but I still don't like the idea. ¬¬

I think she's going to be a great character. She's already looking to be one of my favorites.

They obviously did an amazing job with that video because I'm not hating the idea of a Wii Fit trainer quite as severely as before.
(I still hate it though)

And I mean, let's face it. Wii Fit sucked. Just like those Zelda games for CDI, I pretend it never existed. But now I can't ignore it. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NINTENDO!!??!!

Quote from: blueflower999 on June 11, 2013, 12:14:13 PMSee, TZP? Would you rather have a bunch of awesome 3rd party characters like Mega Man, or a bunch of 1st party characters that are lame?

And also, a Mr. Saturn would be better than anything. Just saying.

Hmm.  I'd rather have a bunch of 1st party characters that are awesome.  Yes, that sounds best.  :P

Mr. Saturn would BEAST.

I like the Wii Fit Trainer. She was something completely unexpected. Sure, it's a bit silly to add her but it's not like Smash Bros is the most serious franchise ever.

Mega Man and the Villager are nice additions too.

As for the other news, I'm disappointed in Retro working on Donkey Kong Country, mostly because with all the hype behind it I was expecting something...different. Plus I need a new Metroid game, damn it.

One thing I'd like to hear announced is a proper account system for the Nintendo systems. I'm slightly nervous when I carry my 3DS around as if I lose it, I lose all my eShop titles too. It seems Nintendo is always a bit behind in the online features they create.

Not too fond of the 3D Mario yet. It feels more like a 3D New Super Mario Bros rather than Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy. I would've liked the latter instead.

Also with all the "2014" titles it seems Wii U will still lack a 'killer app' for a while now.

Are there announcment trailers for Megaman and whoever this Villager is?

And Wii Fit trailer is going to be my main from now on.

I was so convinced Retro was working on Starfox that I got my hopes way too high. Now I can't believe there's no Starfox.

Either way, it's hard to believe that that top-secret project Retro has been working on for more than two years is another Donkey Kong Country.

Is that really the "game everyone wanted them to do"? Is that the real "different kind of barrel roll" they talked about? Please...
As long as Retro doesn't confirm there's no Starfox, I will believe there's Starfox somewhere.

My thoughts exactly. This 2nd half of 2013 will not be as good as I expected. I can't see the Wii U finally taking off until 2014.

Quote from: Yugi on June 11, 2013, 01:52:02 PMAre there announcment trailers for Megaman and whoever this Villager is?

The ones that were shown during the Nintendo Direct.

All I'm going to say about the Wii Fit trainer is that if they had room for her they better have had room for Layton

edit: whoops ghirahim too

I hope so...

I personally think that having the Animal Crossing villager as a playable character is pretty silly.  :P

Maybe that's just me, but it's such a cute game! Seeing the main character being violent is just something I can't handle. XD

It's not like SSB is anything seriously violent. I think he'll fit in just fine.

Village is gonna be my new main, seriously. You can cut down trees on your opponent that's just beautiful.

She could just be an assist trophy. Right?

When it comes to the Trainer's names (Xavier and Yvette), those might not be the actual names in-game, considering that Black/White pre-release information used the names Blair and Whitlea for the main characters, but then they ended up being Hilbert and Hilda.

And what source told you about the dodging/critical hits part?

Alternatively, the competitive fanbase could just not bond with their Pokemon so that there's no critical hit/evasion boosting involved. You know, to tone down the luck factor.


Oh yeah, and there's going to be a recap video tomorrow of this information.

sexist, sexist, sexist. I suppose you think only girls would like the Pokemon Musicals in Black and White, too? I loved those and I also think Pokemon-Amie looks adorable.

Sorry for calling you out on what I'm assuming was a joke but guys can like stuff that isn't masculine too.

and I didn't like the musicals :P

I assume that Haunter can participated because of Levitate.

/statingtheobvious

I wonder if Pokemon that can obviously fly but don't have Levitate or the type will be included, like Beedrill

That would destroy the purpose of what I like to call "the Colress factor". It's meant to bring out the full potential of your Pokemon. ::)

But I want to bond with my Pokemon, but not with all of them since it seems so much work :(

sexist jokes are teh best

Colress <3

My favorite character in Black 2 and White 2

Colress was pretty cool. He reminded me of Wesker from Resident Evil.

The Q&A: again, idk how reliable this person is (I believe them but I don't want to get you guys all excited) but they say it will all be posted tomorrow officially on the site

Spoiler

Q: Riding Pokemon - benefits? Diff from bike?
A: Sounds like you can 'borrow' Pokemon to traverse to destinations. Can help open paths too.

Some areas have different types of methods of getting around. (i.e. we've seen the grinding and so on). Depends on area. eg. The riding, rollerskates and rail grinding we've seen.

Flow of battles - seeing opponent's team ahead of time - is the same as before. You can select the song for the battle though.

Pokemon X&Y will read your registered friends list from the 3DS system, so the game will automatically have those people as your friends.

Q: New or old villain team? Form of rival?
A: "You can expect to see a Team 'Something'" There's a Rival, but maybe not just one.

Q: How does Mewtwo change form? Do you want him in Smash?
A: -long pause- Can't explain "Mewthree" Pokemon. Can't talk about other games. Sakurai just chimed in (joking) - "We're thinking about it."

Q: Didn't hear buuut..
A: Music will have different feel than past games bc it's less modified/compressed than in older games.

Q: Player movement appears to be 8-way. Why not full analog?
A: Keeping a grid-style bc of tracking Pokemon encounters. But freer movement.

Q: Depth of customization?
A: You can choose hair style, set appearance. PSS shows player icons so chose to allow for custom appearance.

Q: Considered tweaking EV and IV to make being competitive easier?
A: X&Y will make some of these ideas more visible and intuitive.

Q: Why base this location on France?
A: France has a focus on a beauty and that was a focus for X&Y. Wanted to see how to express.

Q: How many new Pokemon?
A: No comment.

Q: Explanation for Fairy type being discovered and applying to older Pokemon?
A: Dragon type has had an advantage. Wanted balance.

Q: Will there be DLC?
A: Hoped that wouldn't be asked, but they are exploring the possibilities. No announcements.

A: They're working on it. DS/3DS comm. barrier is slightly tricky.

Q: Multiple save files?
A: No. Just one.

Quote from: Bubbles7689 on June 11, 2013, 07:35:06 PMThe Q&A: again, idk how reliable this person is (I believe them but I don't want to get you guys all excited) but they say it will all be posted tomorrow officially on the site

Spoiler

Q: Riding Pokemon - benefits? Diff from bike?
A: Sounds like you can 'borrow' Pokemon to traverse to destinations. Can help open paths too.

Some areas have different types of methods of getting around. (i.e. we've seen the grinding and so on). Depends on area. eg. The riding, rollerskates and rail grinding we've seen.

Flow of battles - seeing opponent's team ahead of time - is the same as before. You can select the song for the battle though.

Pokemon X&Y will read your registered friends list from the 3DS system, so the game will automatically have those people as your friends.

Q: New or old villain team? Form of rival?
A: "You can expect to see a Team 'Something'" There's a Rival, but maybe not just one.

Q: How does Mewtwo change form? Do you want him in Smash?
A: -long pause- Can't explain "Mewthree" Pokemon. Can't talk about other games. Sakurai just chimed in (joking) - "We're thinking about it."

Q: Didn't hear buuut..

Anyways, excited about the higher quality music and song choosing for multiplayer (always wanted that), and I have to appreciate Sakurai's trolling today. The EV/IV comment is interesting too.

Yvette is an actual name too.... and I like it better than Yvonne...

Whoops :P Me too though

actually i just have this really horrible great aunt named yvonne and i dont want to associate her with the attractive female player

..oh xD I don't actually know a Yvonne but Yvette sounds French without being overly girly, plus its more like Yvetal.

Yvonne reminds me of this show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIrmBv1LZ38

So yeah, don't want to associate those two characters together. >_>

Quote from: blueflower999 on June 11, 2013, 09:11:25 AMBy the way, the Metal Blade is so cheap in Mega Man 2 that it might as well be his final smash.

I honestly think that super adapter would be the final smash.

And I just realized I missed Nintendo Direct. Oh well..

"We're pretty much on one major project at a time. We do a game every two years or three years. In the first year of that, we have some extra bandwidth, so sometimes... We helped out with Mario Kart 7. We helped Monster Games do the 3DS version. Sometimes we'll have a little bit of extra bandwidth to help out other entities at Nintendo. We really feel strongly about helping out Nintendo as a whole, so if we have time, we'll do that. Do we have the bandwidth to do two major projects at once? I don't think so. A big project and a little project at the same time, we can do that."

Damn, Retro... There go my hopes of a new Starfox. :'(

Quote from: Bubbles7689 on June 11, 2013, 08:09:11 PM..oh xD I don't actually know a Yvonne but Yvette sounds French without being overly girly, plus its more like Yvetal.

Both are French names.

Also the Nintendo Direct was alright, I guess... nothing new there, except for Fairy type/DKC/Smash trailer. I feel like the Wii U still lacks 3rd party support, which is a shame really. I will definitely be getting a Wii U, but I feel like I'll have to get a PS4 as well.

"The reality of the situation unfortunately is that there are certain limitations on the 3DS. So we're forced into the situation where we may need to reduce some characters to a certain degree, but we're really working hard in order to include as many characters as possible." ~ Sakurai

THIS IS GREAT! MY FEARS ARE REAL! xD

OH AND ALSO:
Masahiro Sakurai has officially confirmed that the two games will be titled "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U" and "Super Smash Bros. for 3DS". Not a big deal, but way to go! xD
Bye bye to the catchy "Melee" or "Brawl"! Terrific!

Nintendo are disappointing me badly lately. But I'm so sick of complaining that I think I'll just laugh. xD

Quote from: Yugi on June 11, 2013, 10:46:36 PMI honestly think that super adapter would be the final smash.

I actually think it's the flame blast. All the other weapons (except the Metal Blade, which was done intentionally to introduce his powers) had in-game footage to show off what it did. Except for the Flame Blast, which had a dramatic build-up and looked super overpowered. Ironic, seeing as the flame blast is super weak in MM6. BUT! It could happen!

Quote from: DonValentino on June 13, 2013, 01:23:40 PMNintendo are disappointing me badly lately.

Why? What's so disappointing about bringing Super Smash Bros. to two consoles? I thought there were a lot of unnecessary characters in Brawl anyway.

"Super Smash Bros...... for 3DS."  That's a moronic name.  Seriously, why didn't they just go with the popular fan name Universe, with the U shaped like the one in the Wii U logo.  It's just dumb.

That's his Down-Smash. The battle showed it doing like 45% damage once, but I'm not sure if it's going to be a strong attack like Peach's Down-Smash in Melee, or if that was just bad luck to the opponent because they didn't move away properly.

Anyways, as long as Marth returns, and as long as the gameplay isn't as slow and campy like Brawl's, then I don't think I'd care about whatever else they do with the game, because I love the art style for the 3DS version, and having Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer as playable characters are awesome.

Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 13, 2013, 02:06:43 PMBecause that's a terrible name?

Still better than "Super Smash Bros. for 3DS" and "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U". :P
Yay for laziness!

I don't think Smash Bros Universe is a bad name...

Oh, and they better think of a better idea for Mega Man's final smash than the Flame Blast. The Rush Adaptor would actually work pretty well, probably a lot like Yoshi's final smash is in Brawl.

Quote from: DonValentino on June 13, 2013, 02:55:55 PMStill better than "Super Smash Bros. for 3DS" and "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U". :P

This.  I agree with Blueflower, I don't think it's a bad name at all.

"Universe"doesn't fit with the fighting theme of "Melee" and "Brawl", and I love theming, therefore it is a terrible name.

I agree, but it makes sense based on the platform.  Not to mention "for Wii U" and "for 3DS" don't theme themselves either.

Do you have any more suggestions for fighting-based names? Super Smash Bros. Combat sounds dumb.

I would've preferred Duel. As a pun on Dual. Because it's on two systems.

I think the "for Wii U/3DS" is supposed to be a pun though. Like, Smash Bros 4 - Wii U/3DS. Still a dumb title, but I still think it's better than Universe (which doesn't even relate to the 3DS).

Super Smash Bros. Fisticuffs

Quote from: MaestroUGC on June 13, 2013, 05:24:13 PMSuper Smash Bros. Fisticuffs

The only reason they didn't pick that title was because of Mega Man and his 'pew pew' playstyle.

No, there are other characters who "pew pew" too. "Melee" and "Brawl" both indicate hand-to-hand combat, so that's not a valid excuse.

Quote from: MaestroUGC on June 13, 2013, 05:24:13 PMSuper Smash Bros. Fisticuffs

EMAIL NINTENDO NOW

They don't respond to my emails or phone calls anymore.

Not since the accident.

E3 this year was pretty good for nintendo. They had very good news on the up coming games. I'm a little disappointed that they couldn't show us the Zelda Wii U but I do understand that they wanted to present the news a little later so it would not still the other games' attention.

GETTING PUMPED FOR THE SUPER SMASH BROS FOR WII U THOUGH

Is it just me, or is the standard Figure 8 track for Mario Kart 8 going to be a Mobius Strip, because that's going to be awesome.

Yep.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NARhOONsTLY

Oh, hey! I must've missed that one. Glad to know Nintendo and I are on the same page.

;) Ikr?
I think it's clever for them to keep the number 8 for this mario kart title

I just hope they stick with the numbering system and don't jump back to the subtitles. I honestly don't mind, I just want consistency.

hmm yeah but I just think the '8' was necessary towards the game because yep..the mobius strip track.
But if it was like..Mario Kart Wii U, that's also acceptable...

In a video showing Megaman's Moves, Flare Blast was his down smash?

"I worked with David, many, many years ago, and have stayed in contact ever since. He's actually a friend of mine. So, as we approached this particular project, he became available."

"So I picked up the phone and said 'Hey David! You have some time? Would you like to help us out with Tropical Freeze?' And he jumped at the chance. It was a coincidence that he was available at the time... he wasn't prior [for Donkey Kong Country Returns] and we couldn't be happier." ~ Kensuke Tanabe, Producer of Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze

Now that's what I'm talking about, David Wise working again on Donkey Kong Country, oh yeah. 8)

ABOUT SSB4 IN E3
I have the strangest feeling that the Animal Crossing villager and the WII fit trainer are not going to be out on the 3DS.  ??? I just visited the SSB4 website, and all the pictures from these 2 characters are for the WII U, not the 3DS. Unlike those, Megaman has a few 3DS pictures.
I don't know whether they will not appear. Just guessing.  :-\ :(
Links are here, if you want to see for yourselves:

http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/mega_man.html

Sakurai already said the rosters will be the same on Wii U and on 3DS.

http://www.destructoid.com/super-smash-bros-lacks-full-cast-due-to-time-constraints-256923.phtml

Dammit. Most likely my favorites will be cut. Well, good thing we reserved a spot for Animal Crossing guy and useless wii fit person.

I think the Wii Fit Trainer is very unique and could be a very cool player. Don't be bitter :P

Well, yeah, she does look cool-but I wouldn't want her at the expense of another character...

I totally agree with that. I'm just trying to make the best of the situation

I don't think we'll be seeing more cuts from the roster than we've come to expect at this point. Besides, the bigger the fan base for the characters, the more likely they'll return.

I sure hope they cut the misc. pokemon characters before Mr. Game&Watch and Olimar...

Mr. Game&Watch and Olimar for Life.

Besides they shuffle the pokemon line-up with each game. Honestly the game would do better with a tighter roster.

Quote from: Olimar12345 on June 24, 2013, 09:34:27 PMI sure hope they cut the misc. pokemon characters before Mr. Game&Watch and Olimar...
