Why do they keep having these at 6 AM for the West Coast?! Too early!

I think Nintendo is banking on the fact that Smash Bros will be their "big reveal" at this E3.
Because East Coast is best coast.
I'd be OK with that. No better time to have the hype train roll with a PS4 announcement + even MORE Nintendo awesomeness!

All I expect out of this ND is a few release dates (Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Pikmin 3 hopefully), and a few trailers (and maybe a little gameplay footage) for already announced 3DS/Wii U games. If we're lucky we'll maybe get game reveal or two (for 3DS only), but after Nintendo blew it's load last month I doubt they're ready to do it again this month. I'd advise people not to get too hyped, but that'd be saying the obvious.
Are they in panic mode over 3ds though? I wouldn't think so.
You know it to be the truth. Don't pretend otherwise.

It's funny people think that:
6 screens of an art test
An announcement trailer
<56 seconds of gameplay footage
10 seconds of gameplay and a few screenshots
and a couple of minutes of gameplay of Wii Party U
Plus, acknowledging that more Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart, and Smash games are being announced was 'blowing its load'.

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Already beaten BDFF, but would definitely play a localized version, so that's probably the only thing I'm looking forward to.
They have missed every sales target they have had for 3DS so far, the fact it is doing amazing in Japan doesn't fix the situation in the west.
west coast is best coast. east coast is least coast.
In the west they should be, sales are still underwhelming on our side, despite incredible sales and support in Japan. WiiU is probably still the bigger issue at hand though

More Fire Emblem please.
edit:lol wrong thread. East Coast is still the best

I thought 3DS was tracking above DS in US, and below DS in Japan now? Maybe I misread the Media Creates thread.

Some people suffer in this department and project their feelings outward. We shouldn't mock them.

I think it will be Retro's game, we know for a fact that Smash Bros will be at E3 this year, we have no idea what Retro's game will be.
But 3D Mario, Mario Kart U, Smash bros, X, and any other big games will be gladly looked at
Yup. This should be a good E3 for them, but nothing that would steal the show from the other two.
Since they use Nintendo Direct as more of a platform to announce new games now, maybe they'll put more focus on playable demos at E3.
I would think they are not satisfied with the sales in the west, but extremely satisfied with the sales in Japan. I wouldn't call it panic, more like taking initiative in steering it towards the right direction. Pokejuggernaut will help with that this year.
pre-DS Lite in US which was very unimpressive sales wise. Once the time frame of DS Lite hits the 3DS will start massively falling behind DS in America unless 3DS has a major turn-around.
And it is indeed below what Nintendo is expecting, Nintendo has yet to hit a single of their 3DS goals and had to lower there forecast of 3DS sales at their last quarterly sales.
Iwata even spent a long portion in his talk to stockholders about how 3DS is under-performing in the west.
East is beast; West is messed

In US and EU they're lagging, moreso in Europe.

I disagree. IMO, Nintendo are the favorite to have the best e3. Sony and MS will show their cards before e3. Leaving them with what for e3?
Nintendo will have:
Mario
Smash
Kart
Bayonetta
Retro Game
Monster Game
East Coast for life. We have the better pizza, the better of the two dead rappers, and the only city that matters. NYC.

No you don't.
And Hajime Tabata expressed interest in remaking the game for 3DS.
You play as Turks and you tackle the original Avalanche Terrorist group. Along with other stuff.
FF fans since 2004 huh?

As far as the news cycle is concerned, new consoles are a much, much bigger deal than new games.
Nintendo could announce the greatest game of all-time, and it would not matter at all.
That may be to your own personal taste but wait til E3 and let's see which company gets more media attention/gamer hype.

No, you plays as Aerith planting flowers.
It's a spin-off

I don't understand why people want to see a remake rather than a new Zelda. :/

I take it you're not aware Before Crisis is an actual game?
We want the third game in the 64 Trilogy; OoT/MM/?

WAIT WHAT
WHAT IS THIS
I honestly never knew about this, would be interesting to see it remade on 3DS.
No, mostly because it was a mobile game.
