We're one week away from the industry's biggest event, and Joystiq wants to play prediction bingo! For our second annual E3 Expo bingo cards, we've decided to poll our entire staff for their safest and wildest predictions for each of the big three media briefings.

Today we look at Nintendo -- this generation's sales behemoth. Click on each of the squares above for more information about our predictions. Nintendo's E3 press conference is scheduled for next Tuesday, June 2, at 9:00 am 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.

Download a copy (PNG file) and play along! And remember to have fun! This feature is a game, after all.

move along people, nothing interesting to see here..

You're right, I can barely see your comment.

hahaha tha was funny as hell. LOL
CTC nice one....

Is it weird that I find the Wii price cut more unlikely than the friend code thing?

it's like saying you're less likely to find the Loch Ness Monster than Bigfoot.

Neither's happening anytime soon.

That's why I said it was weird that I did.

The final version of the bingo board is gonna be so dissapointing.
The boxes that will be crossed off are executive shananigans, Cammie talking about her kid, wii fit plus, motion plus talk of the town, merging wii points, dsi gets its own vc, and mario parties again.

Im hoping for a New Zelda though. But nintendo will probably just dissapoint us.
If they get Ravi to come drum it is an automatic bingo!!

i'm expecting a huge E3 out of Nintendo. i mean they didn't really do anything at all last year and they did say that the few games they did have, they decided to move back. E3 would be a great time to announce those games.

come on Nintendo! make me love my Wii again!

Wii price cut will never, ever happen... never... ever.

in the UK you can now get a new Wii for just £10 more than a new DSi.
That's right, there was a price cut.

(OR at least a good promotion at ASDA)

Heck, we've had a price RISE in the UK, from £179.99 to £199.99. Talk about stupid!

Click on the square!

Nintendo has the most predictable bingo card I think.

damn straight... Just looking at it I can see that no one can even get close to scoring a row.

Third and fourth rows plus the N collumn seem the most likely. You'd only need one or two miracles to win that way.

But then again, you and everyone else would win at exactly the same time . . .
Well, there's always first to post "Bingo!" I suppose . . . .

Well, you could use my bingo card. If Nintendo has an E3 conference, you've already won!

Middle row, across.

Mario Party is a Mario game, after all. ;)

I'm hoping for a DVD enabled Wii with all the vibrant colors they showed off when the Wii first launched, even though I have a ton of DVD players.

No more friend codes would be a plus, a new Pokemon game wouldn't be bad, and more Mario is always more fun.

same here i want colored wiimotes!!!

and i they dont need to release a new wii they just need to offer a download for 10$
(the homebrew channel proved that it was possible)

in b4 flamez

B-3
You know it will happen.

B-5
G-4
G-5
God i hope so, Super metroid on DSi, and links awakening, yes please.

O-3
Thats a Given.

Also N-1 would make me release my manly fluids.
With 2.5 D,yes please.

People may not like this but, please no 2.5D!

Metroid has always had wonderful organic and industrial art, it would be impossible to pull off in 3D with such small screen space and less than adequate power behind it. Keep it 2D, sprite-based and throw in 3D effects if they must.

Metroid Prime: Hunters is proof that Metroid would have been a monstrosity on N64. It may have played well, but without a strong audio/visual backing, Metroid just isn't Metroid.

2D Metroid or bust on NDS.

i agree no 3d, 2.5 wouldnt be terrible but i would love a 15 hour 2d metroid for the DS or i guess dsi, even though i dont want to have to go buy one of those

I'm aware of the fact it wasn't well-received, but there technically has been a Pokémon Stadium game for the Wii with Battle Revolution. If this bingo board is simply predicting another iteration in the Stadium/Colosseum/etc. series, then it's certainly possible (though IMO they're a bit more likely to put it off until next year because right now Pokémon is in a post-Platinum and pre-GS remake marketing phase) but if you're saying something specifically branded as a Stadium game, I don't see it as a likely thing.

Hmmm, I half expected this bingo board to be loaded up with sales data across every tile.

But that would make it too easy!

I highly doubt O5 will happen seeing as how well the Wii is selling still.

All I need is a new Zelda...

Bingo on the top row, please

I'm looking forward to a proper sequel to Pokemon Stadium.. The past few attempts have been dire.

Also, I stop watching the conference the second Cammie comes out.

You'll be sorely disappointed when Cammie comes out, followed by Reggie bashing her with a chair and announcing a Punch-Out styled remake of Pro Wrestling for the Wii.

No, wait, I'm dreaming again.

They need to hand the series back to HAL Labs, who did Stadium 1 & 2

@ Donald

I'd love to see him bust out the Amazon's Piranha Bite myself.

A WINNER IS YOU!

@ Mr. Khan,

It would be awesome if HAL Labs did the next Pokemon Stadium-like game, but Genius Sonority seems to be the company doing all of Nintendo's Pokemon-on-a-console games aside from the Pokemon Box-like games. I'm just surprised Genius didn't put in Mini Games in Battle Revolution since, you know, it IS the Wii we're talking about.

I would love a Pokemon Stadium 3 though with Gym Leader Castle(s), mini games, the main Stadium area, and a better online system. Heck, I wouldn't mind if they just made a Pokemon Stadium 2 remake (as in a complete overhaul of the game) since HeartGold and SoulSilver are coming out.

B-3 and O-3 Obviously, fucking cammie dunaway.

...fucking Cammie Dunaway... pffff I wish!

Think of all the comments and jokes we would not of been able to make about her if she had not talked during last year Nintendo E3 confernce. I am happy to see that she is returing, because now we can make new comments and jokes about this years preformance.

I bet we'll see Zelda: Spirit Tracks, a new Sonic in the storybook series and no less than 2 new accessories for the Wii. No Mario, no Kid Icarus, no F-Zero, no Star Fox, no Pikmin, no Metroid. But we'll see new WiiWare apps, like a clock that integrates with the News and Weather channels.

There, I've set my expectations so low, at worst Nintendo will meet them.

now that i think about it, i bet your prediction will be COMPLETELY correct.

Too soon for a new Sonic storybook game, sadly. Black Knight rocked.

i would expect to see pikmin 3 but nothing else i mean they did say they were working on it after e3 last year so i am 99%sure they will show it now

Ahh, rock bottom. Where the best expectations are always found!

You release a new pokemon stadium where we can do matchmaking online and do 1 poke vs 1 poke with our 6 pokemon party and I will gladly go rebuy my Wii. If not, well then Nintendo...you won't be getting anymore of my money! :]

oh and get rid of friend codes....that's a good one!

What the hell does the Wii need a price cut for?

Yeah I don't see why they would need that either. Desperate space filler maybe since they already used the words Mario, Metroid, Icarus and Zelda.

N-4 would just make all of E3 for me, I'll tell you that right now. *crosses fingers*

Even if they hit everyhting, I couldn't give a rats a$$ about a single thing. Thats how irrelevant Nintendo is to me (and probably most of the hardcode/gadget freaks out there).

Thanks for posting!
