Sadly, that's not what Nintendo will spin. They'll say that its Nintendo's fastest selling handheld for initial launch, which I believe is indeed true. It's just not anywhere near what the Lite was going for.

What order do you guys think Nintendo will talk about their consoles and how much time do they give them?
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
DS - 10%
3DS - 40%
Wii - 15%
Cafe - 35%
DS still has a few more releases that I expect them to mention.
3DS will definitely see more hype on the games coming out after the thin release.
With the Wii I would expect to see finally see information about DQX. It's passed due. Also Skyward Sword and a few other releases to keep it going.
And Cafe I see a release of the third-party devs for the console, controller and console design reveal, online structure, and two or three "surprise" announcements. I don't expect price or release date to be announced during the conference.

Nintendo will release the Retro FPS and F-Zero at launch along with a Wii Sports-esque casual game collection. Zelda: FSA remake via EStore and Pikmin 3 will come in the launch window and Star Fox by Christmas 2012.
Nintendo must strike a careful balance between supporting their system and giving 3rd parties room to breath. Thus, no Mario until 2013 and no full blown Zelda until 2014 (they will need a big gun to counter new systems from Sony/MS and a new Zelda after lying dormant for a few years is their best ticket). The Metroid franchise needs a drastic re-evaluation.

All of the Sakurai talk really reminds me of how lucky the guy is. If you look at other developers you'll spot several who've been stuck on the same games for more than a decade. One smash brothers every six years or so doesn't seem like much at all in comparison to the deluge of Metal Gear, Halo and Call of Duty that certain people and teams get stuck with.

It's actually quite amazing how Sony and Microsoft have all those rumors coming while Nintendo related rumors have pretty much died in the last week. (I don't count fakes.)
Which makes the wait a liiiiitle more manageable. I would be at the edge of my seat if there was any more rumors.

I saw them too, but then I thought to myself, "What if she's not actually even a lady, but a pathetic fanboy who will disappear into the myst and take on a new identity after those guaranteed predictions fail to materialize?"AceBandage said:
Nintendo - especially since Iwata took control - usually likes to keep the key elements secret for as long as possible. Wii didn't get its big coming out party until the E3 just four or five months before release.
Unless Stream is coming this year (yeah, it's called stream) then I can't expect much about the online or the OS features until October Conference.

Am I the only person who's getting annoyed by these fake rumors being posted on GAF? I know it's wishful thinking, but it brings down our message board to almost Gamefaqs level.

What's the difference between fake rumors and real rumors, though?
Neither can be confirmed until next week anyway.

One of the other interesting, but sort of depressing, things I heard today was many of the western studios only have token support for Cafe and that they got "burned" by the Wii.
Personally I'm not expecting a lot of beyond token support anyway. But it does call to question what Nintendo has planned to get these guys to take the plunge.
... and that's all I've got. That said, I remember before the Wii was launched, guys at EA and such were all saying it was going to fail and "Sony has this in the bag" and "Nintendo basically said they're out of the console business."
So it's not like these guys have the best track record

The only thing that makes it worse are other sites running with it like it's newsworthy and give credit to finding it on GAF.

AceBandage said:
but you can see the problem, right? reveal the main features now and the other guys have a year to mimic them on their established userbases with cheaper hardware. No one is averse to releasing new types of controller this gen either.
Nope, I'm gearing up for a 3ds heavy, stream-lite showing. Couple of playable tech demos for the controller, focus on visual fidelity, little or no mention of the online plans.
I sort of hope to be proven wrong.

Just out of curiosity, are there any fan/semi-professional made trailers with ORIGINAL CONTENT (non-dolphin) that show what a Nintendo IP in HD would look like?

It'll take Nintendo being aggressive to get them on board, and I think we'll see this in the coming years.

Hope so. They do need to be extremely aggressive with locking up some key titles. Considering what they did with Dragon Quest, I could see them trying something similar for Cafe. But it's tough with western studios, who are going to want to stick with the tried-and-true MS/Sony platforms.

Well, multiplatforms titles will go to the Cafe. That's not even up for debate. It'll be super easy to port them and it'll add more users to sell to.
