[Save 'N Quit]

The moment I see the Smash Bros trailer, is the moment I run out of my house to buy a WiiU.

[GameCenterXDS]

F-Zero is not coming back, friend. I'm so sorry.

You are gonna eat those words! Not only is it in Nintendo Land, its also an Ambassador game on 3DS and the way Miyamoto talked about it last was clearly a hint at something in the works. I really expect F-Zero 3DS to be announced soon in a Nintendo Direct or possibly will hold it for an e3 surprise.

[Prinny]

I can't wait for Mario Kart. Q3 or Q4 2013, please Nintendo.

[daxy]

Not surprising. Out of these three I'm only hopeful for Mario to bring something somewhat fresh to the franchise. Surely it won't be another in the NSMB line.

Looks like a bunch of remakes, rereleases and rehashes to me. WHERE IS F-ZERO FUCKYOU

A Nintendo Land minigame is all we get. GX was too perfect.
Would instantly jump on the Wii U train for an F-Zero, even if they just HD remake the damn thing and add online multiplayer :')

^ really don't hope it's gonna be (only) a 3DS game. The visual fidelity GX brought at the time is something I'd like to see it replicate on Wii U.

[Sandfox]

Mario, Smash and whatever game Retro puts out has me interested in Nintendo's conference. I probably won't be picking up Mario Kart but I'm interested in seeing what they do with the franchise.

[Retro]

With new hardware from Sony and Microsoft appearing along with whatever NEW ips they introduce? Hell no.

Games are always more interesting to me than Hardware. I just don't get hot and bothered by tech specs and plastic case design.

As for the new IPs, aren't we still waiting for the IPs they already have to come out? Last Guardian, for example?

[RoKKeR]

Why do I feel that I'm going to end up with all of the next gen consoles by 2014's end.

C'mon Nintendo, you aren't making it easy.

[XenodudeX]

So, safe to assume they are trying a 3DS Style mega holiday this year? MK7 + SM3DL + MH = MK8 + SMWii U + Retro (?)

Mario Wii U won't be in 2013. WW HD, Mario Kart and pokemon will be the Holiday line up.

[gdt]

They really need some big guns, asap. Should be a great E3 all around.

[Bgamer90]

Why do I feel that I'm going to end up with all of the next gen consoles by 2014's end.

haha, yeah I think that will be true for me too. Will more than likely get PS4 last though.

[Akey]

I would imagine this either means Retro is working on one of those 3 titles or an original IP? Here is hoping for a new IP.

[dark_inferno]

If E3 is better then this ND -> im gonna buy the WiiU instantly.

[batbeg]

Mario Wii U won't be in 2013. WW HD, Mario Kart and pokemon will be the Holiday line up.

I'd be quite surprised if new Mario doesn't release this holiday period.

[Tricky I Shadow]

Games are always more interesting to me than Hardware. I just don't get hot and bothered by tech specs and plastic case design.

Well it’s a good thing that a whole heap of new games are gonna be announced along with the consoles eh? It's not just new consoles.

[Currygan]

christ, bombs dropped, world is aflame

now I just need to see a single screenshot of Mario U and my juice will fly to the stratosphere

[Preble]

Wish they coulda shown a screen of Mario Kart...

E3 is like six months away right?

[IntelliHeath]

Wish they coulda shown a screen of Mario Kart... E3 is like six months away right?

less than 5 months.

[Retro]

Well it’s a good thing that a whole heap of new games are gonna be announced along with the consoles eh? It's not just new consoles.

I mentioned games in my post, but the person I was responding to gave new Hardware as something to get excited about.

[Alex]

Really want to see Mario Kart the most, oddly. I don't play many racing titles but 7 really pulled me back into the franchise in a big way. Had a lot of fun doing little quick burst online matches. Would love to see something bigger and more expansive, now.

[Darryl]

Mario Wii U won't be in 2013. WW HD, Mario Kart and pokemon will be the Holiday line up.

if it's not in 2013 than it's in holiday of 2014 and that's a long time to be showing off a playable demo at E3. they still have Retro's game for Holiday of 2014.

[Sadist]

E3 hype slowly building...

[Ezalc]

lol

That twitter account lmao.

Can't wait for the Smash unveil, hopefully it won't disappoint this time.

[TheJollyCorner]

I'd honestly pay 1000 dollars for the new Mario, if I had to.

I don't even know what's real anymore...

[TreasureHunterG]

Yeah, Nintendo should really consider abandoning three of their flagship and best-selling franchises.

This no excuse for not trying to bring new IPs to the table or invest on older, mismanaged IPs like Star Fox, Wave Race, 1080 and F-Zero.

[TrueBlue]

Great to know that they'll have at least three big-hitters on show.

[Zoramon089]

I'm guessing Wonderful 101 and X don't count as new IPs?

[Gorillaz]

Smash Bros? Well, time to buy a Wii U.

.

[73V3N]

This E3 is going to be awesome, they didn't say Zelda because they want a surprise announcement like in 2004

[Sandfox]

I'm really curious as to what Retro is going to announce given that Yoshi turned out to be a Good-Feel game. I'm guessing its going to be either a new Metroid or Star Fox given the hints we have and either of those would be pretty interesting.

[Coolwhip]

I really hope they go crazy with Mario Kart. Could be their flagship online title.

[EatChildren]

Retro is probably making Mario Kart.

[Alistair Roo]

Mario Wii U won't be in 2013. WW HD, Mario Kart and pokemon will be the Holiday line up.

Actually, I think it will the other way around.
Mario Kart U/8 till 2014 (April or so, just like Mario Kart Wii)
and Mario Wii U with a 2013 Holiday release date

[JDSN]

Retro is probably making Mario Kart.

Id be...surprisingly okay with that.

[ChaosXVI]

I will weep with absolute despair if Retro's title is the new Mario Kart...I am not all that into racing games, and I don't see any Mario Kart topping Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed.

Still, I am hyper excited about new 3D Mario, Galaxy 2 is my game of this generation, without a doubt.

[Zarovitch]

Retro is probably making Mario Kart.

If it happen, those racing level will be insane. But i would prefer they work on a new metroid.

[KeasbyKnight]

Not surprised, but definitely hyped. Just show me Takamaru in SSB already!

[guek]

Retro is probably making Mario Kart.

Shut your filthy mouth you piece of-

*coughcoughrubblerabblecough*

I meant to say, nay! Certainly not, good sir!

Really, either they're making StarFox, Metroid, or a new IP. That's the only reality I'm willing to live in! la-la-la-la-la-la

[Sandfox]

Retro is probably making Mario Kart.

I kinda doubt that since they've been working on a game that people have been wanting them to work on apparently and that wouldn't make sense given the people they've hired for the game(though I could be wrong). Nintendo has a group just for Mario Kart games so Retro making MK8 would be disappointing.

[IntelliHeath]

Not surprised, but definitely hyped. Just show me Takamaru in SSB already!

Right there! I want!

[EatChildren]

Shut your filthy mouth you piece of- *coughcoughrubblerabblecough* I meant to say, nay! Certainly not, good sir!

You listen here punk, and you listen good. You know what I wanted out of this direct? Just one thing. Just one. A new The Wonderful 101 trailer. I didn't expect anything else because fuck Nintendo's unpredictable bullshit. All I wanted was that.

And I got it.

Then I got a Bayonetta 2 developer diary and I was like "okay cool something extra, my expectations have been exceeded!", because that game is second to TW101 as my most anticipated Wii U title. Smooth sailing, with a bonus.

Oh but no. Nintendo couldn't stop there. They had to pull some bullshit and do the whole Xenoblade 2 thing, a spiritual sequel to the only traditional JRPG I really loved over the previous generation. And on top of this they went and confirmed Smash 4, Mario, and Mario Kart for E3. And showed some new Yoshi thing that might be cool.

I've got nothing left to bitch about and that makes me upset. So I'm gonna spread bad joojoo regarding Retro because that's all I've got.

And Wind Waker HD remake ;)

[Frillen]

Already an awesome E3 for Nintendo then. Retro's game should be there as well (they might be the ones who actually make Mario Kart Wii U though). I also expect a 3DS Zelda game to be showcased at E3.

[PapaJustify]

Remember what Iwata said in the Nintendo direct:

All three games will be in PLAYABLE form at E3.

[ASIS]

Lol @ people saying this isn't big news because its expected.

I mean we might as well not hype next gen uncharted or halo because... They are coming?

[Yawnier]

Retro is probably making Mario Kart.

Or co-developing it alongside Nintendo EAD.

Which would be perfectly fine with me since they both did a great job with Mario Kart 7.

[Gordon0Freeman]

Then whats coming out next year? The same thing?

[kinggroin]

How can you be a gamer and not be excited for...well...everything that's happening (about to happen) in our hobby this summer?

I'm in a very good mood.

[guek]

All I hear is the sound of baby mario wailing.

In all seriousness, I'm glad that we have some assurance that nintendo's E3 conference will be at least worth watching. It's sad that that's the bar but it is what it is!

[Misguided]

I really want new games like a new 3D Mario, more than a black piece of plastic? yep.

"new games" "Mario" lol

[Bgamer90]

Lol @ people saying this isn't big news because its expected. I mean we might as well not hype next gen uncharted or halo because... They are coming?

Or maybe because those games will more than likely be bigger steps up from their predecessors on older consoles in comparison to the upcoming exclusive Wii U Nintendo games.

You are comparing "AAA movie spectacle-like" games to "typical" video games.
