E3 2010 Prediction Bingo: Nintendo

I'd say that most of that is fairly decent. The only three that I can guarantee won't be there are the Wii HD and the Wii getting an updated internet service. The 2x Motion Plus thing is obviously a joke.

If we get a so called "Wii HD" it won't be an announcement of an actual HD Wii. It will be brand new tech that is Nintendo's 8th generation home console, which Iwata has stated before will be HD. It will most likely have the improved online service as well.

The DS Virtual Console and Handhelds on Virtual Console need to be changed to 3DS stuff.

A launch date for the 3DS is pretty much a given. Its going to be launching by March of next year at the latest so Nintendo has here, TGS, or their own thing if they don't go to TGS again to announce the date. With the main rumor being it releasing in October, and that being likely due to being roughly a month before Black Friday, E3 definitely seems to be the best place for a date. I highly doubt it will be $200+ though.

Wii Zelda info overload is a guaranteed thing at this point.

The others I don't have an opinion on.

As for my own prediction. Nintendo's biggest handheld games move to the 3DS as launch title. This includes Pokemon B&W and Golden Sun. We'll also see some stuff for The Last Story. We'll possibly get a joint announcement of Monster Hunter Tri G from Capcom and Nintendo and on the very fringe of possibility we'll see Monster Hunter Portable 3rd make its way over to the 3DS, these seem more like they'd happen at TGS though.

My predictions, some less likely than others:
Pokemon Black and White
3DS Gyroscope
Kirby's Tilt and Tumble 2
Golden Sun 2
Band Brothers Stateside Release

This new reply system seems to be even more deranged than the old one. That said, it certainly does make for some... interesting threads. (And, if you want to have some fun, it's kind of like a mix-and-match game.)

Wii Zelda is a must!

I'm really, really surprised with all the comments saying that Zelda info overload is going to happen at E3. Have you folks seen the last couple of Nintendo E3's? There is no way they're going to 'overload' on any 'hardcore' game, unfortunately.

I'm certainly not saying this to be a jerk or anything! I would kill for a sh*t ton of Zelda info just as much as the next guy, but I'm just saying it's probably not going to happen. It's better to aim your expectations very low, and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Oh, and please don't downvote the messenger!

DS VC would be cool!

-Heavy focus on Motion Plus software, with third and first party support that should be due out in a matter of months or less.

-Maybe more info on Vitality Sensor.

-We may find out what features the 3DS possess that allow it to disrupt Sony's 3D on the PS3.

-Maybe something about Star Fox since Miyamoto made a slight mention about it a little while ago.

Then there's the obvious stuff like Zelda, though we'll probably see a few surprises here or there. But the big focus will be Motion Plus, followed probably by the 3DS.

I want Epic Mickey news/info/videos

I'm sorry - did I miss the point where Farmville or most of any of the facebook applications were actually transcending their environment fun? Or even remotely fun?

Why would they want to release the games gamers truly care about? The only (asinine) excuse I've heard is that it won't be released due to "legal" issues. Well, I've got news for Nintendo; I own the original Earthbound, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger cartridges, and as an owner, I justify playing said games via the Homebrew Channel on an SNES emulator! What's that, Nintendo? I can't do that because I don't have the rights to use unofficial software on my Wii, which will never have a snowball's chance in Hell of ever being released? Is it really "wrong" for hackers to provide legitimate users the option to play games that haven't nor ever will be released on the Virtual Console? And is it really "wrong" for hackers to do what Nintendon't want to do?

Please, please, PLEASE let there be a new 2D Metroid on the way!

I'll be right pissed off if the next Star Fox game is a handheld game, 3D or otherwise. That franchise deserves to be played on my big screen! Come on Nintendo, give it a proper treatment. Take what you accomplished in Star Fox 64, and give it a make over, throw in some online multiplayer (co-op campaign and dog fighting), make the game longer than previous Star Fox games (with the ability to save after each mission), lots of level branches, multiple objectives in each level, massive boss fights and a new villian to replace Andross (is he dead, or just pulling the strings of this new villian.... ).

im making another square for the world ends with you 2

Can we cross off DSi Price cut yet.

*3ds is announced*

*places marker on 3ds*

''You sunk my battleship'' :\

You guys think 3ds video chat is too far fetched?

So yeah. I'm pretty much only here to say that I am almost 100% sure we'll be getting something about Professor Layton at E3.
And that makes me very happy.
VERY.
VERY.
HAPPY.

Even though I know EVERYTHING about this game. I've practically played it I've had so many spoilers. I just really want to hear what they do with the new characters' voices (Particularly Older!Luke and Claire).

Also, it's so hard to resist calling Older!Luke "Legal Luke", just because I've been so into the fandom it's just become his name. XD
