Not really sure how Fire Emblem isn't a hardcore game- it's tough, has a small dedicated following and is from a pretty niche genre, certainly compared to Mario and Layton. To be fair, my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek for the sake of a crap typographic gag there :-(

In 30 minutes, I'd say there ought to be at least two reveals in total for retail Wii U games, either completely unannounced or announced with no real details (Monolith, Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2).
"Ought to" being the key words, of course.

From 1996 to 2002 there was only one new Mario game released. (SMS) So it's not always been this. Not saying I want to wait 6 years on new games, but some time off wouldnt be a bad idea imo.

I hate to say it, but a classic Star Fox game just isn't enough game anymore, unless it has co-op, online versus multiplayer, customizable arwing parts........
Fuck! I want a classic Star Fox game now too!
The Nintendo version on the universe, an empty space of nothingness.
Actual universe to be shown at a later date.

God damn, this is amazing.
Well, I'm hyped.
Hmm... As long as we're making unrealistic guesses, I want a new Custom Robo game.

If they want to stray away from market saturation, or people getting tired of Mario, they would be better off waiting on releasing anymore Mario titles after the next 3D one. Yeah, the 2D ones might hold off a lot of people pretty well between 3D Mario releases but what gets people so hyped for those releases are the lack of any titles in the series for awhile.
Maybe Nintendo doesn't want to run that risk because of what happened with SMS. Years upon years of hype building based off of how Mario 64 was led to huge disappointments with how SMS turned out. Had there probably have been some mainline Mario games in there somewhere between 64 and SMS the blow would have been less significant.
In any case, I'm lucky I already have to get up early tomorrow and don't have class until 9:45 AM EST. Pretty boss. I'm set for a Direct!

I think the Direct will last thirty minutes.

Not really hyped for this, I'm pretty sure Nintendo is holding the big shit back for E3 to counter new console reveals.
16 hours until it starts. I believe the ND lasts for 30 minutes.

this is a good point. Why would Nintendo spill the megatons now? People expecting Smash bros or Zelda is probably going to be disappointed.

They've got to give Wii U owners something for the next 6 months.

They release financials next week which will probably make clear that they are not going to make their shipment projections for this year.

personally I am more hyped for a Wii U monolith soft RPG then smash bros or zelda. Yeah Xenoblade was that good.

Mostly because they haven't been showing off their hard-hitting announcements at E3 in the last 2 years.
I'm referring to how Mario is generally "milked". Being that it's more pronounced this time with NSMB 2 and U being released so close to each other doesn't change that.
Now see, 2D Mario is nothing like 3D Mario, so the fact that we've already gotten two of 'em already means nothing to me. And it's not like if they announced it now it would mean that it'd be ready this year or anything. You wouldn't necessarily not get your "break".

What writing is on the wall?
I mean, obviously Smash Bros or Zelda would be E3 megatons. But at least announcing more future games would keep the future from looking bleak for most Wii U owners. People just want confirmation on games, actual announcements of them, instead of all the speculation on "oh what's the next mario kart gonna be like!?"
Something hype inducing could be anything from Monolithsoft's game to Bayonetta 2 exact details + release date.
That would be amazing.

Exactly. These announcements are critical so that the inevitable panic from investors gets muted by Nintendo's promise of a slew of new games, even if they are just name drops.
