I expect some new titles from the Japan ND just because Nintendo and 3rd parties have been so silent. But probably no huge megatons.

I agree with you.
Do you agree with me that, if tomorrow no Japanese game will be announced, we can consider the Japanese situation like a real mess in terms of third party support, or will you still be a believer?

;p
 
My final Speculation

I think those 3 bundles could be accurate just not sure what they would include. I can see a 250 no game and a 300 with game bundle, but not sure on the 350 one.

I'm going to say a launch date in NA between November 11th and the 25th.

I'm thinking MAYBE we'll get 2 new game announcements tops.

As much as I would LOVE to, I doubt we'll see Retro's game tomorrow. I have a feeling we'll be lucky if we see that next E3.

Though I want to know so bad.

I don't think Pikmin will be at launch but I can see it being out in time for Christmas.

I also predict I will buy Trine 2 at launch.
 
Well, at the very least, we'll get new OS details, a Black Ops II reveal, and (presumably) the lifting of whatever NDAs have blocked most Japanese third parties from announcing their support. Though I'm not convinced we'll get some JP blowout tomorrow, as opposed to a gradual trickle of announcements leading up to launch.
It might also confirm some people's suspicion that Nintendo doesn't care much about E3 anymore.

I hope we get to see some WiiU-3DS connectivity features, they can't fuck it up once again. Let us use our 3DS as controllers or for remote play at least!

I really hope there is another way of watching this live. Facebook is blocked for me at work.

Edit: Never mind. Finally saw the email and it will be on Nintend.com like the others. From comments I thought it was just facebook.

Whelp, GAF has officially entered full-on Nintendo hype mode. This is best GAF.

Have to admit, I'm getting hyped more than I should be. :p
 
Sigh.

If they must.

Whaaaaaa? Pokedex 3D models are nice :(

If they want to use sprites I hope that they at least use higher resolution ones this time. Seriously current Pokemon sprites remind me of SNES's mode 7.

I hope they're hand-drawn if they insist on using sprites; the way they animate them now is awful. I really can't understand people who think Pokemon MUST be limited to sprites.
 
That site you Go to for Nintendo.com /?mode=viewstory&id=185222

So, Go Nintendo then?

You can say it without being banned. Watch:

Go Nintendo

Eh. They're alright, but I remain to be convinced if the 3DS can handle six of them in a battle at once.

Not difficult to understand. The current sprites are infinitely more charming and characterful than the hideous N64 renders they've been using on some Pokémon for a decade and a half now.
 
No need to watch the US presentation, the news will all be out from the Japanese presentation. Even the price - the only time game companies don't match yen to the penny at system launch is when they don't pack the same things in the box.

So e3 2011 Nintendo and EA are all buddy buddy. Rumors swirl that Wii-U will use Origin as their online store. e3 2012 and EA is barely there for Nintendo but Ubisoft is all over the console like cheese and mayo.

Why aren't there any rumors or speculation that Nintendo will be using Ubisoft Uplay on the console?

Which could very well happen given the Wii (Wii Sports) and the 3DS XL (power adaptor).
