Believe

this!!! or Metroid 3DS
 
90 minutes of Cranky Kong reveal for Smash Bros!!!

Seriously, 90 minutes to show off a new games is too much, not that I'm complaining, but it makes me think it's multiple games related to Pokemon for some reason.

Maybe its close to being finished?
 
Bet it's gonna be the NFC game

3DS NFC doesn't arrive until next year, and whatever the big showcase title for NFC is gonna be, it'll be on Wii U, the platform that the NFC push appears to be built around. I'd be surprised if that's what it is, if they're explicitly calling the subject "a new 3DS game" anyway.

Yeah I'll probably be at one if not both. A couple years ago at one of these things I got Reggie to accidentally announce Fire Emblem, which is one of my favorite E3 moments to date.

Try to do the same this year, but now for Dragon Quest VII instead :p
 
The only thing keeping me from saying it's 100% NFC is that the Wii U game will be out this year and presumably a special presentation for it wouldn't be an hour and a half one that's specifically about the 3DS version.
 
Im gonna go with one of those games that represent the shift of direction for Nintendo. Something likely related to NFC figurines or QoL. They're not gonna spend 90 minutes talking about remakes.

Hoping for 2D Metroid
Expecting NFC Figurine game.

I can't even think what 3DS lacks that is big.

Soo... New IP! Believe!

Metroid hasn't seen a game in the console space since Mommy's Baby, and Metroid Prime Hunters on handheld. I'd say it's big enough.

Still won't be Metroid. =(

It's weird because out of all the things Nintendo could be showing at E3, the NFC stuff sounds like it's probably the most deserving for a 90 minute show, after Smash Bros..
 
Could be Koizumi's new game. I assumed it was going to be for Wii U, but maybe it's for 3DS. In fact, what if he's been given control of Metroid?

Monolithsoft game please, but I'll take Majora or Metroid.

Imagine if the Majora teasing was all BS and Nintendo has actually made an entirely new 3D Zelda instead.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's much more likely to be a big first-party game (Zelda, Metroid, etc.) than a more niche offering from Monolith Soft. I have no idea, though.

Fire Emblem Awakening 2 or... Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (I know it was announced for Wii U but either a port or new release on 3DS)

What I'm dreaming of: Metroid 3DS, new IP, crazy good NFC Nintendo all-star game

What we'll get: Free-to-Play with Mario or Kirby game discussion

I'm hoping they don't have just one game to be announced at E3...otherwise that would confirm 2014 as a pretty mediocre year for the system. :/

I have to figure though, if the full 90 minutes are used, it has to be a new game that'll be released within months. I can't imagine them spending 90 minutes explaining how Majora's Mask 3D is Majora's Mask, but with slightly better graphics, or a game that won't come out until 2015/2016. I mean it could be something like that if about 30 minutes or so is dedicated to a gameplay demo or something and about another 30 minutes is Q&A, but I'd bet that they won't use nearly the full 90 minutes
 
There is just a blowout of Smash Bros stuff coming at E3. Now we have discussion, the E3 Direct/Digital Event and of course the invitational. The 3DS discussion is just icing on the cake (hoping for Majora's Mask 3D!) and of course we'll finally see Zelda U. Nintendo is definitely bringing it this E3.
 
I have no idea how you'd spend 90 minutes talking about Metroid either. Ideally, you want to AVOID giving away details about those games. :p

Exciting But Not Really Going to Happen Possibility: A new Metroid or Advance Wars
Boring But More Realistic Possibility: Majora's Mask 3D where they talk about how they've changed some things more than you'd expect
Realistic Possibility: "As you can see, when you add the figurine to the pedestal, Mario will appear in the game. You'll be playing Nintendo Figurine Rumble this fall on the Wii U, but the 3DS version will come next spring and have more exciting features."

Guess which one would get the most positive news coverage.
