Anyone else planning on missing work to watch Nintendo's press conference? :p

All of my exams will have finished by the E3 conference, so as a treat I'm probably going to import luxuries from all over the world and have a fucking awesome time watching this.
 
I wasn't able to pay full attention to GAF that morning.. was the downtime ever attributed to one cause? Rayman was the most obvious culprit, but I don't remember seeing any confirmation...

Dunno, application server was definitely overloaded though. Seems to be the obvious culprit, didn't see anything else of note that morning.

Sounds awesome!

Sigh...they should just call it Christmas in June, cause it's the day of the year I look forward to the most.

It's going to be awesome. Eight hours of live streams in one day, I'm not going to have to care about sleeping because my exams are done. I can talk as loud as I want on skype because I'm in student halls, I'll also have constant commentary, analysis and breaking updates from Geoff Keighley/Michael Pachter & crew in the background.

I will most likely try to hibernate as much as possible the week leading up to the conference, just so that when I skimp on sleep that week, I'll be in a bit better shape.

And all that my family and co-workers know is that I'll be "off the grid" that week. So they won't call to bug me, haha...

I didn't want to take up much more space in my article, but yeah, this is one of the big reasons I don't think they're working on Legacy of Kain. I doubt Square-Enix would reach out to Silicon Knights, not when Crystal Dynamics should be capable of doing it themselves, and SE already has a ton of contacts to help out where necessary.

Assuming it does turn out to be ED2, I'd love to know how it came about, although we would never find out I'm sure. Did Nintendo contact them, or was it Dyack who reached out? Even more puzzling is why Nintendo would work with them again to begin with, outside of owning stock. There must be some sort of dual ownership on the IP, considering all the western out houses that Nintendo has already for this kind of thing.

Anyway, the article puts together all the major info we have nicely. Unless Dyack is outright lying, it's a pretty simple process of elimination to arrive at ED2.

Dyack weasel words, that's my main concern. Like, they worked on Darksiders, so to him a "most requested IP" is Darksiders II. Or, when he says "our most requested" he literally means their most requested. Not the fans, but the studios. What Dyack wants to work on.

At face value the evidence does point to either Eternal Darkness or Too Human. But face value with Dyack is saying a lot.
 
the problem with Wave Race is WiiU sports...

PilotWings and WaveRace have the same problem of being mixed into a pot of mini games collections instead of a focused game

If they put out a Super Smash Bros HD combo pack at launch that was strictly a Melee + Brawl HD port with competent online and matchmaking, how well do you think it'd sell?

There won't be a Wii-U sports, they've said they are not going to copy that formula for the new system, but they want games that have a similar impact

A fatal frame game on the Wii U has the potential to be the scariest game ever.

Also, imagine playing a phoenix wright game where you have to examine evidence, and investigate areas using the controller. You can use the screen as an infrared light to find blood stains and other things in a room. You will be able to move the controller around your room, off screen, and it will feel like you are actually at the crime scene!!!

Man, if I was a developer I would be all over this console!!

Hopefully that trademark from Nintendo actually means something.

I've just been thinking a lot about smash bros lately because of PASBR. Damnit I love smash...I'd buy a re-release in a heartbeat for competent online, and I think it'd easily be a multi-million seller.

It'd take awhile to get used to the CCPro though

but seriously the first time I see smash bros in HD on the system I want it to be the new game, not an older one.

Well yeah. I'm just sad we probably wont get it for another 2-3 years.

Well... Ace Attorney 5 was announced but we don't know for what console it is
 
I wouldn't care if WaveRace, PilotWings, and 1080 were all combined into one game.

A racing game where you hang glide in, a snowboard dangling from your feet. You drop down to board down the mountain, weaving in between trees. As an avalanche begins, in the nick of time, you approach a lake at the bottom of the mountain, hop on a jet ski, and blast off to the finish line.

If we got one, would you prefer top-down or free-cam? I've been pondering over what I'd like... On one hand, it would be cool to have a true sequel to Windwaker (on the same scale, I mean) on the more powerful hardware. On the other, I really really like top-down Zelda...

Edit: This is assuming that it gets a bump in difficulty over the DS games.

2.5D Paper Zelda 3DS. No exceptions!

I would actually be shocked. It would be crazy if Nintendo revealed a brand new Zelda game on a console, 7 months after the last one came out. I don't know about that.

They've been working on it for quite a while now, at least, we should be getting a trailer, IMO.

This could so totally be one of Nintendo's best launch periods ever.

...

- Penultimately, Monolith. Monolith are new to Nintendo fans' hearts, however the impact they've made has been stronger than many. Their games have always been grand and ambitious, maybe we'll get a new IP from them like Xenoblade and Disaster? Or maybe we'll get a sequel to one of those? Either way, the epic landscapes will be brought to life and the title will truly be one that's very impressive.


I was previously informed that NOBODY was expecting this for launch. Get with the program!

At launch, it'll sell the most out of the whole lineup pretty easily. Unless there's Pikmin/Mario.

They can get away with a lot of trailers this E3
just like they did it for 3DS last year

talking about it, the only title we're still missing is Luigi's Mansion 2
I hope there is a official release date this time =/
 
If it starts with Reggie saying "But before you leave, I'd like you to step into one more world for Nintendo Wii U..."

The flashback alone will bring enough hype to have the same kind of reaction.

I want Reggie to do that after a solid conference. But then I want him to walk back onto the stage after that and tell the audience "I forgot to mention earlier that we were allocated twenty more minutes than usual. So here is a series of game trailers that might further wet your appetites."

It'd be so easy to do but it'll never happen >_<

I wonder if nintendo could put out a USB or blue-tooth adapter for 4 GC controller inputs. Again, it'll never happen, but I'd want it for smash.

Zelda 3DS reveal trailer is one of my only locks for E3. We know they've been working on it for a while.

Also, this:

Just gonna have to wait until 2015 for Wii U Smash. :p

But I bet Nintendo will release a Classic Gamecube Controller. One that is semi-wireless, just like the classic controller. Especially if there's going to be a GCN online store.

Man, it's so easy to forget the 3DS. We're going to see new Fire Emblem/Paper Mario/Animal Crossing trailers, hopefully get Monster Hunter 3G in Europe and the U.S On top of that we'll get new firmware, new third party titles and hopefully Zelda 3DS.

Sony and Microsoft are so fucking screwed this E3, they're going to send out a couple of reject titles each to try and fight the absolute storm that will come the next day.

Easy, there. Sony and M$ can still have a few bullets up their sleeve. And while they most likely won't reveal their next console, they might tease them. Just might.

No, I think sony is going to generate a considerable amount of buzz this E3. Last of Us will be big, they have GoW, a new game from their santa monica studio, that EVE online shooter, and probably a bunch of western oriented vita stuff like CoD that wont help their situation in japan. And who knows? Maybe even FFvsXIII!! heh

MS I think is going to have another dud of a show for the 3rd year in a row. I think their only showstopper is going to be Halo 4 with everything else being multiplatform.
