Nintendo E3 2014 - rumor discussion thread!

(lock if another discussion thread for E3 rumors Nintendo)

Hello fellow GAFers!

As you probably know, E3 is just behind the doors and as you probably know too, it's rumor time!

In the following weeks, we will get more and more Nintendo rumors so I started to make a discussion thread for that. For me, rumors are always exciting to hype and discuss about E3 as well as having fun together in the community!

There are already two excisting rumors to talk about:

1. IGN cites “multiple people” for claims Nintendo is “absolutely” going to show new hardware.

http://www.vg247.com/2014/05/02/nintendo-to-unveil-new-hardware-at-e3-2014-rumour/

This rumor was denied from Nintendo, but it's not known what they mean with new hardware... My guess is, they will deliver new hardware but no successor to Wii U and 3DS like they denied, but it's more likely a 3DS or Wii U revision.

2. User rumor on IGN

I know, you probably won't believe me but I want to share the informations I got with you.

I'm from Germany and I know a good friend who works at Nintendo in Großostheim. A part of the restructure progress of Nintendo is to have deep contract with all their HQ's to make sure everything is fully scheduled regardless of which country.

They are working pretty hard with Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Japan for the E3 and he got some great informations for me, because he knows I'm a big fan. So believe me or not, I really don't care. Of course he can't reveal all of it, but he allowed me to have a sneak peak at their plans for E3 2014.

- The Digital Event is completely different from a regular direct, it features a stage and a audience which are 80+ knownless fans invited from Nintendo to a special room. They will make it atmospheric as they can, Reggie, Iwata, Aonuma etc are on stage, furthermore it will have a changing background with fog machines etc. So you truly won't miss the old conferences :)

- Nintendo will announce Zelda U, he said it's going to be the game we are waiting for, very big world, fully filled with many secrets and life, it will feature a more stylized tech demo look, it has a more mature storyline and sidequests similar to Majoras Mask, complex dungeons and there's a very cool feature which will drive the Zelda series so much forward. That's the informations I could get out of him!

- he said "Nintendo will finally announce many comebacks from old IPs we are waiting for and they will blow your mind". (I guess FZero, Metroid, Starfox etc? )

- Nintendo will announce some new IP's, two casual IPs in the vein of Nintendogs and Wii Sports , the others are hardcore IPs in the Zelda, Metroid league and there is even one IP which will appeal to the CoD/BF audience with Nintendo gameplay. (NICE!! Nobody needs new casual IPs though, glad there are also some new hardcore IPs!)

- There is one cancelled project that was previously announced (? Don't really get what he means)

- Besides of that, they will also show many new 3DS games and a new hardware!

- He said QoL will be discussed on a seperate event at E3 time (maybe one treehouse livestream?) to appeal to the right audience.

- There are some remakes (Majoras Mask??!?)

- Iwata will talk a little about his mistakes

- It's planned to have a lot of charming jokes like you saw in the Reggie Fils A Mech video

- There will be a BIG surprise at the end that will completely blow ur mind!

That's all I got out from him, I will keep you updated so please stay tuned. I fully understand if you believe this is a joke, I for one would think that too if I would be a reader, but I just deliver the information to you, it's really not a joke.

Happy discussing! :)

That one sounds pretty reasonable but almost too good to be true.

The user has a friend who works at Nintendo (yeah...) There were many rumors with that sentence but this rumor actually sounds believable. If Nintendo wants Wii U to survive they should make something like that.

More rumors are obviously on the way :)

Now it's your turn, what is your thought on these rumors?

There is no way that second rumour is true, and if it is, it'll be the first instance of "my friend works at nintendo" that was accurate.

Still, this is a good idea to compile the rumours so we can see later on who to pay attention to in future.
 
To be fair, I feel like this E3 for Nintendo will be horrible. Except for the Zelda game (which I expect to be topdown view :( ) I don't expect many surprises...

So, as far as those rumours goes, people should keep their expectations in check.

This is gooooood shit

My friend's uncle works at Nintendo too.

That 2nd rumor sounds like bullshit, basically everything people ever asked of Nintendo (new IPs, old IPs comeback) is in there lawl
 
This is just a great way to get dissapointed. No offense OP but if this stuff dont come true you will complain.

Hahahahahahaha

If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
Pretty much. How can you say it sounds believeable? What is so believeable about the guys friend working in Germany?

Exact number of rumors come true in six weeks:

Zero

Still, E3 wil be interesting. This should be the pre e3 Nintendo thread

Really? But don't you think that this time they HAVE to deliver something great in order to let the Wii U survive? A top down Zelda on a HD console would be entirely stupid.

I fully understand your pessimism, Nintendo really did disappoint often, but I noticed they changed, I mean the Tomodachi Direct, The Fils A Mech video, the MK8 Direct everything was so much better than before, it's like they really woke up.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
First rumour has been refuted by Nintendo. Second rumour is garbage. No need to consolidate every "my dad's friend's uncle" rumour into one threads. If something legitimately trustworthy surfaces it can get its own thread.
