I wonder what UBI game the CEO was talking about. He mentioned Assassins Creed, but then said there will be a game on something completely different.

You probably shouldn't have put that prediction in the title, you don't want to get people pissed at you for misleading them if it turns out false :p

A pal at E3 sent me this info earlier today, this is what he was told by Nintendo. It is, as many will guess, centered on third-party games and whatever this may be.

"While we cannot announce the content that will be discussed at Wednesday’s event, we do think that it will provide information that you cannot find at Nintendo’s E3 Presentation or on the E3 show floor, and that it will be worthwhile for you to attend"

I;d be awesome if Ass Creed Wii U was an exclusive one, but I have doubts. I'd also love to see this exclusive new FPS.

I hope we get some media of whatever they're showing, rather than just a mention.

Nintendo did say that they'd be adding more to their E3 website (http://e3.nintendo.com/) over the week, so we might see said game there.

Was supposed to be an in-depth Q&A session about gameplay. What we got was that 30 second trailer we saw at the EA conference. The one with "Scale huge environments, cinematic-like presentation, destructibility!"

The questions ranged from "Are there Jets in BF3?" to "Can you switch between semi automatic and fully automatic on weapons?"

Wasn't anything like most of us expected.

So who generally has the best liveblog for this? I had IGN's and Gamespot's going for last night's roundtable, and they were each leaving out lots of details the other one caught. I'd really like to stick with one good one tonight.

Ouch! Sounds like the questions at a Nintendo roundtable, but with a trailer.

How could something break the Wii U for you a year and a half before it launches already?

If this little roundtable for a system a yr away from launch makes or breaks the system for you then I think you have your mind made up towards 'No'.

Do we know if this is just a Wii U conference?

Yesterday They said was Wii/3DS only talk so I imagine today will be Wii U. Especially with a heavy 3rd party slant. They have never done multiple roundtables before.

I mean in the here and now. Like, this could make or break my excitement. I'm only moderately impressed as it is, and if they don't announce some amazing games or features between now and launch, I'm gonna skip it, probably.

Yeah, never put predictions in the title of threads like this. If they don't come true you'll get the wrath of them numchucks.

Nintendo scrambled Sakurai and HAL together with their other internal teams, kidnapped Nobou Uematsu, The MGS voice cast, an orchestra band and quickly assembled over 2 days a trailer for Smash Bros. 4

I was going to ask about Mark Rein, wasn't he rumored to be offering support for Wii U today or something?

I also really want to know if Epic coded that Japanese Garden/Bird tech demo.
