HYPE!
 
I'm guessing Yoshi's Land by Good Feel for this ND. EAD Tokyo and Retro Studios will be at E3.

I'm fully expecting Yoshi's Land Wii U and Monolith's new Wii U project to be unveiled in this Nintendo Direct.

We'll see Zelda 3DS, new 3D Mario, Mario Kart Wii U, etc. get revealed at E3 (or future Nintendo Directs).

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet

Yeah. I imagine Monolith Soft's game might be quite a ways away in terms of being released, so they should pair it with a big game that's coming out soon as well, and Yoshi's Land seems the best bet.

Unless that Diddy Kong Racing sequel by Monster is true, that'd be cool too.
 
Subscribing to this thread RIGHT NOW!
I'd love to see that. GameCube VC especially, with uprezzed visuals *drool*

I'm still waiting to see what ever came of the rumors about Skies of Arcadia HD re-release on XBLA and PSN last fall. Although I would take the GCN Skies of Arcadia Legends for Wii U in a second if they released it as a Virtual Console game. Widescreen support is a must, though.

While these would be awesome, I'd be more hyped if the following things happened:

1. Patch/ firmware update speeding up the OS.
2. Patch/ fix for the various bugs like 100% system freeze when exiting Hulu Plus after watching any movie/tv show on deluxe wii U systems.
3. HUGE expansion of the WII U e-Shop with the ability to finally play Gamecube games on the the Gamepad, as well as purchase them from the e-shop.
4. HUGE expansion of the WII U e-Shop which allows you to play 3DS titles on the Wii U gamepad, including: Ocarina of time redux
5. An announcement for the Zelda shown at E32010 - but that's likely E3 news...

That's just my personal wish list.

Oh, that's right! I forgot about that. Yeah that could very well be something that releases in the summer or something.

How many teams does Monolith Soft have? Was it Honne's that co-developed Project X Zone?

They have 3 teams. Takahashi is leading the Wii U project. Yasuyuke Honne is leading the Kyoto 3DS project. And they also have a third team who occasionally work closer with Namco (I think)

Some of you are already beyond saving :D

EXPECT reasonable things. Never expect awesome things. They might come but never expect them or you'll just end up sad. Yoshi game by Good Feel AND the MSLI game? That'd be a little much, I think.
 
What I expect at minimum:

Lego City new trailer
Wii Fit U new trailer
Pikmin 3 new trailer and solid release date (no "Q2" crap)
Game and Wario new trailer and solid release date
Wonderful 101 new trailer and general release date (Q whatever crap)
One brand new game announcement that is unpredictable, alternatively Mario Kart

What I also want (within reason):

Wonderful 101 new trailer and solid release date
Bayonetta 2 trailer
Teaser Trailer for Monolith Soft game (already announced in a previous Nintendo Direct)

What I want but don't expect:

New Smash Bros anything
New Zelda anything
New 3D Mario anything
New Metroid anything
New Wave Race anything
New F-Zero anything
New Star Fox anything
New Kid Icarus anything
Trailer for Retro's project
Same here

I'm keeping my expectations in check when it comes to first party and Nintendo.
 
Three teams. One for Project X Zone (with Banpresto), one for another 3DS game, and another for the Wii U game that's getting announced tomorrow.

Basically Nintendo has been hiring like crazy since late 2011 to boost software output so there aren't six-month gaps in big game releases like there always used to be. So anything is possible at this point. Expect the unexpected.

Fuck it, I'm on board.

Come on Iwata, give everyone a price cut just so that you can give your ambassadors exclusive GameCube games available to play on the GamePad.

I wish they made it easier to set up Wii U with wifi networks/the Internet generally. It's such a pain in the ass right now.

Why does the Monolith Soft teaser image keep getting posted? Is that just how these hype trains work?

...Cause it may be working on me.
