My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
No. Link?

Can't wait to see how Bayonetta 2 will look like in a Next Gen Console. So hyped.

That would be crazy in the real meaning of the word.
Not my cup of tea, sorry
If you're at least hyped for Bayonetta 2, I can forgive you.
I think they will have at least one major project teased in this, but I don't think it's Retro's game. Retro is their west sturdo and this is a global ND. If they want to tease something to get interest I imagine it would be a game with global appeal. Not that Retro's game won't have global appeal, but the talk has been that their project is aimed at the western audience.
Yoshi's Land honestly feels likely to me.
yea, i don't believe it either. monolith's project seems like it'd be the clear focus on something like this, if they released more than that then they're wasting potential press

No just kick him out the tea party.
E3 is already dead for Nintendo if MS and Sony show their new consoles there.

Yeah, remember that spectacular PS3 introduction E3 that totally killed the Wii?
It's Ridge Racer!
Nintendo bought Naught Dog.
Waste of money. Would rather buy Santa Monica.

New Zelda or Smash Bros. or gtfo.
I think that's how stuff is usually announced. While they're still in development...
Well, to be fair Iwata only said he would TALK about games Nintendo is developing.
It will probably be like;
"Yes, we are developing a new Zelda, a new Mario, Sakurai started working on Smash 4 just yesterday! so expect it to come out around 2020, and there is also a new Mario Kart, unfortunately we can't show you any of this yet, Thank you!"

About that...
You're probably right. Basically it sounds like they're trying to allay the fears of a drought and at the same time not actually tell us/show us the titles. So we might get a big list of the types of games they are doing and as much info as possible around them without giving them away. We might get a few of the "lesser" games' footage shown but the big guns will be kept under wraps until E3.
That is, unless Retro's game is ready to ship soon
The Wii wasn't out yet (which is what I think he was getting at). I think a better way to say it is that the Wii and PS3 in 2006 didn't kill the 360 which came out in 2005.
I'm definitely hyped for Bayonetta but I'm not sure if we'll see anything from it.
I'll be cautiously optimistic tho
Hey!!! I brought some donuts and cookies for you guys
Saving too much for E3 might be dangerous though. The other companies will have new consoles to show there. It is going to be hard to compete with the hype that brand new consoles bring to the table.
Right now the hype for Wii U is already waning and its only been out for a short time. That has to be a concern for Nintendo
We'll see, but I wouldn't be surprised if they show things at this Nintendo Direct that would normally be better suited for an E3 reveal.
And it could just be a tease.. A short trailer with snippets of video footage from upcoming games.. Just enough to whet appetites without revealing too much.

That would be perfectly fine. People wanted that at E3. Just mentioning big future titles will get you hype.

Wake up early fo sho.

As in "Heathcliff"
Alright? How can I get hyped from this? I don't really see it.
Exactly, I am not going to board on hype train that might crash into city.
For people who hoped for Smash, it's not going to happens. Sakurai haven't retweet or tweet about Nintendo Direct yet. Last time he retweeted Nintendo Direct, it was the direct that announced Namco-Bandai working on SSB4.
Reggie did say we could see Retro's game before E3 2013, so it's possible.
But I'm not hyping just in case.
Yep, I'm a fan of splitting it up. Save a huge couple games for E3, but tease some future stuff now.

The Beast and His Armies will rise from the Pit, and announce Monolith Soft's new RPG for worldwide release.Those markings... ?
uh-oh
He also said it'll be Wii U announcements.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I think that we care about E3 far more than Nintendo does. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually stop turning up for it.
Look at Pokemon X+Y, for example. That would have been an E3 Megaton. The game isn't coming until the end of the year.

Don't do this to me man.
They usually make it clear what platform they're focused on before each Direct. This is supoosed to focus on Wii U.
