In anticipation of next week's E3 Media and Business Summit, we've prepared bingo cards for each of the big press conferences, filled with some likely (and some not-so-likely) predictions for what each of the big three console makers intends to announce at arguably the biggest trade shows of the year.
Today's card is for Nintendo (special thanks to Wii and DS Fanboy). Our fingers are crossed twice over (trust us, it's painful) for the no-brainer Pikmin sequel. Click on each of the slides above for more information about our predictions. The folks at NWF and DSF got a little carried away, so check out their full predictions (Wii, DS).
Nintendo's E3 2008 press conference begins Tuesday, July 15, at 9:00am PT (that's 12:00 pm Joystiq Time / ET). As always, we'll be liveblogging the event, so you can play along in real-time with us. (Also: check out all our press conference bingo cards, including some for Microsoft and Sony!)

Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a LttP knockoff for something other than a portable. Did you mean another OoT knockoff? I am getting a bit tired of that formula. I couldn't even be bothered to finish TP... I was bored just a few hours in.
Seriously, can you guys take your flamewars elsewehere? I want to read interesting comments, not people flaming each other.

Sorry guys, its just how I feel.
Hell I didn't even say anything bad or trollish.
PS I am a Nintendo fanboy. I can proudly say that I have never bought anything from Microsoft or Sony except a wired 360 controller I use when playing on an emulator on my PC.

Fuck off dude. Nintendo doesn't need you so I doubt they give a shit whether you're into their games or not right now.
In case you didn't notice there are millions of other fans who enjoy their games.
Isn't that a bit hypocritical given your history of constantly bashing any Sony?
2. It's not like this is the official list of what Nintendo is going to show at E3. For all we know Nintendo could release info on a game that is completely unexpected. And the same goes for both Microsoft and Sony. Unlike those two though, Nintendo has pretty much shrouded itself with mystery, which is why I'm mostly interested in what Nintendo has to say this E3. What I'm guessing is that they'll be releasing info on a couple of casual titles(like Wii music or Wii sports 2) and some games for the more hardcore user(like that new Wario game). And here's another prediction: With a few exception, 90% of third party software will be lame.
Yes I bitch about sony. I make fun of sony. Cuz clearly they're doing almost everything wrong this generation and they're in 3rd place because of it.
Nintendo meanwhile is on top like they should be. It'd be one thing if Nintendo was barely staying afloat this generation but its another to just attack a successful formula.
But hey w/e floats your boat sony fanboys.
LMAO so true....
tmac just stop typing.
"Nintendo meanwhile is on top like they should be. It'd be one thing if Nintendo was barely staying afloat this generation but its another to just attack a successful formula."
I'm not really sure why being successful should mean you are immune to criticism. Yeah, they have a successful formula right now, but that doesn't mean it works for everybody or that people shouldn't be allowed to say they don't like it. McDonalds is popular with the masses too, but that doesn't mean they've got the best food or that they can't be criticized.
To each his own, whatever.
A lot of this is just centered around pure rumor, which makes it more fun as a bingo card, but yields less promise for the show itself

I also want to hope for a new F-Zero, but considering how popular Mario Kart is right now, next year would be more likely.
