No way X or Retro is ready by this holiday. Replace X with Mario Kart.
I dunno- they have had a while to work on it, and it seemed in pretty good shape already from the trailer. Remember, Xenoblade came out in June 2010 in Japan.
Iwata in closing of the NA ND mentioned that 3DS news and 3rd Party Efforts would be discussed at later dates.
If they go and iterate on everything Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed did in the single-player mode, I'm on board. Even better is if they expanded it to become Nintendo Kart, but it doesn't sound like that's happening. Seems like such a missed opportunity!

Very much agree with this.

So is this a thread for talking about Pikmin 3 screens? ND didn't show much of the game, but the camera feature can produce some really cool pics.
The lighting did it for me.

If memory serves when they showed off DKCR in E3 they said they had over half the game complete... then they released it about 4 months. They can be pretty fast developing, I think you're right.

i dont actually understand the "we all knew mario 3d and mario kart were coming so its not worth being excited about" concept...
i mean, sure, we know they would eventually be on the system. but being playable at e3 makes a release date within the next 18 months (and maybe even by the end of the year) a whole lot more possible. and thats worth getting excited over.
i dont think a new tokyo EAD mario will ever be something i just brush off.

Well wasn't long ago that you were preaching up and down NeoGAF that there would be no Wii U games in the Nintendo Direct.
Don't want to offend you but you might want to step back and look at things realistically. Retro's last project was released in 2010. They have been expanding a lot since then. IIRC they have 2 teams now. It seems plausible that they could have a title ready.
Wasn't Retro's game supposed to be shown at E3 last year but pulled at the last second? I'd be shocked if didn't come out this year.

Oh okay. I just Ctrl-F'd Pikmin for 10 pages and got nothing. Somehow I'll find it.

Late summer - Wind Waker
October - Super Mario Universe, Wii Sports U
November - New Miyamoto IP
December - Mario Kart 8,
2014 - Fire Emblem, X, Bayonetta 2
Hopefully something from Monster Game inbetween somewhere this year... Was looking forward to that more than even Goodfeel.

That was an unconfirmed rumor I had a hard time believing even then.
Have always said Retro's game will be E3 2013 and no sooner.

It's hard to get too hyped about something without something more concrete than that it exists in some unknown form. Of course it's good to know they're out there, but that was pretty much a given.
I think the logical conclusion is that Retro is working on something 3DS, cos Iwata just mentioned everything they have got going for Wii U, saying 3DS later. I don't think he randomly left Retro out for E3 surprise..
BTW do we know Whether its MG1 guys or MG2/3D Land working on the new Mario? Iwata seemed to group those 2 groups of devs together..

Yup I mean we all know GTA V is coming out for example but whenever we get new info/trailers/screens everyone gets excited, and rightfully so. Of course we know Mario kart etc is in the works, but hearing it from the horses mouth is exciting!

darnit.
Retro is working on a large scale Wii U game. they weren't the only Nintendo developer unaccounted for this morning. Nintendo is saving some reveals for E3.
the Wii Sports U prediction a few posts up is interesting. It certainly seems like a logical game to showcase at E3, and perhaps you're right, release in 2013.

One of us.
i stopped looking at things realistically a long time ago
this is NINTENDO we're talking about here
I think we'll see Retro's game at E3. But it won't be ready for the holiday. Why? Cause they need more time. Just a random prediction, no real basis behind it.

Really solid video. Very hyped for that Monolithsoft game, and Wind Waker HD as I never played it.

wow I gotta say I now have a new outlook on nintendo. The concept of miiverse is quite amazing and better then anything I've seen. Having gaming communities in the console where you can ask for help, watch embedded videos which is good for tutorials, draw, use spoiler tags etc. I call that a next gen OS.
The exclusives are also starting to look good. I'm still getting a ps4 but I have a new found respect for nintendo and I'm sure they'll have games that will be very desirable.

Does anyone believe Game and Wario isn't ready to go? I think they may be waiting on the install base to get a little bigger. It would be sent to die and be forgotten at the moment.

Maybe they delayed it to add in some extra bells and whistles? I honestly was expecting it at launch.

It was a huge letdown according to Edge magazine. Why can't all those games announced be released tomorrow? Just more future broken promises by Nintendo

To be fair, they didn't exactly announce anything extraordinary for the next 6 months. They have 5 games out between now and September, one of which is an "expanded audience" title, so only four "real" games - Game and Wario, Lego City Undercover, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101.
Not bad but still a let down. Even an announcement of Wii Sports U as part of the summer lineup would have helped matters.
Anyone wanna take a guess at the release schedule?
I'd say
March - Lego City Undercover
May - Wii Fit U
June - Pikmin 3
August - Game and Wario
September - The Wonderful 101

They have a third party ND coming soon as well. What is scheduled beyond the infamous launch period is still a mystery.

You know when I spent some time away from gaf and didn't have to deal with the incessant Nintendo is doomed crowd or the ridiculous hyperbole crowd I can actually be very happy about all the announcements. I'm there day 1 for Wind Waker(looks gorgeous) and X(just beautiful can't wait to explore this world).
The fanboys and haters can make it difficult to enjoy anything around here sometimes.

I hear ya, sometimes I just gotta take off the GAF goggles, man. The games industry isn't as scary a place as GAF may have us think sometimes.
