Not really. Paper Mario is not one of their bigger franchises. If it is really a Wii U only game then it will not even register for some people in the wake of a primarily NX show. Especially if other Mario games are shown.

Probably just for New 3DS
Not if it's a Wii U game.

yeah, the combo of Wii U exclusive + Mario spin-off makes it a prime Direct opener
Yes please, I'm going to cry if it happens.
What did you expect 3 months before E3. There's no way they were going to blow their load and disappoint everyone like they did last year.
The big lesson to take away from this: Only get hyped for Directs that are in the 2nd half of the year, or very early in the year, like January - mid February.

Does Nintendo Europe usually use the term "Nindies"? I looked it up and the only time I could see that they did was during E3.
Where's Inazuma Eleven? I'm calling this fake.

I want a surprise like some cool Mario Maker DLC.

I've seen NoA use it other times, but yeah I don't know if Noe ever has
There's no way E3 is 100% NX. Not a chance. Wii U will still have games coming out through at least the end of 2016, including zelda and probably another mario party or something no one cares about.
Paper Mario is an RPG, other Mario games that will be revealed are probably platformers. They also need to keep their promise of not abandoning the Wii U as soon as NX is out.
Timeline of BW info rollout:
29/01/2010 -- Announcement of a new game in development for Nintendo DS
07/02/2010 -- Silhouette of new movie Pokémon shown on Pokémon Sunday
10/02/2010 -- March issue of CoroCoro leaks and reveals Zorua and Zoroark
21/02/2010 -- Zorua and Zoroark formally revealed on Pokémon Sunday
02/04/2010 -- Pokémon Sunday preview promises information on the April 11th episode
09/04/2010 -- Name of the games ('Black' and 'White') and planned Q3 release announced via the website
10/04/2010 -- May issue of CoroCoro leaks and reveals the first information and some screenshots
18/04/2010 -- Pokémon Sunday shows a bit of video footage of the games
09/05/2010 -- Silhouettes of the starters shown on Pokémon Sunday
12/05/2010 -- CoroCoro leaks with info blowout -- region, starters, screenshots
16/05/2010 -- Battle footage shown on Pokémon Sunday
28/05/2010 -- Reshiram and Zekrom revealed, formal worldwide announcement of BW
After that, monthly revelations were as you might imagine. With SM, we're currently like that:
10/02/2016 -- CoroCoro leaks and reveals new movie Pokémon
14/02/2016 -- Magearna formally revealed worldwide
24/02/2016 -- Pokémon Direct announced
27/02/2016 -- Sun & Moon announced to be in development
Like with BW, announcement of the games and the first Pokémon (relevant to the upcoming movie) happened by the end of February, with not much else (except the titles, this time). In BW's case, real information started rolling out in April, with the games being planned to release in September. We're now upon a "late 2016" release date, which most likely means November. With that in mind, the first information could arrive anywhere between April and June. My guess is that we'll have something before E3, but probably not long before.
There's always a chance we see more new Pokémon before game info and screenshots though.

It should be 5 minutes like the Pokémon one.
The only game announcement being Paper Mario Sticker Star 2.
Only thing shown is the logo.

If NX is launching this year, it could be, with maybe an exception for pokemon and some other 3DS stuff (if no new portable this year)
To blowout the remaining Wii U/3DS stuff. E3 is NX time.
Most underwhelming Direct ever if this becomes true... Doesn't even have Paper Mario U and it's like Wii U doesn't exist anymore. Just wow.

Monster Hunter + Metroid + SNES = 10/10
Mega Man X on my 2DS would make me the happiest fan alive.

We need slopes & more world variants, such as ice & desert-themed worlds.
If you really think E3 is going to be all NX, you'll be disappointed.

If Starfox is not delayed tomorrow I swear yall better not post another tamaki rumor on this board running it as facts I swear!
I dont disagree.
It's likely that Zelda is coming NX too.
My point was that a Paper Mario reveal for Wii U isn't that big of deal compared to if it was coming to NX. But if it's a Wii U game I can see it being announced tomorrow or before E3.

That makes this absolutely believable though.

Right, but announcing any and all remaining Wii U games at E3 seems a bit silly. They can still show up and have a decent presence post-reveal.
I'm OK with this.

Generations? Shoulda just call it Stories :V
E3 won't be all NX. They have to provide content for consumers that don't have the money to buy the new console and keep their promise of not abandoning Wii U like the did the Wii.

If it says out in April again, I am going to laugh until I poop.

One thing to keep in mind is that sun and moon were announcement was specifically set to midnight on the 27th for Japan as part of the anniversary stuff, so the announcement might have been done differently without anniversary consideration and likely at a different date
The dude should stick to digging up past projects, cancelled and otherwise.
Monster Hunter Stories is a different game.
Or they could just reveal them there for maximum impact.

Preach. All this coy "i MIGHT know something you don't know, maybe!" method of spreading rumours is just getting old, and I'm not even referring to just him (remember that SSB4 debacle with RogersBase toward the end of last year?)
Watch as if it doesn't he falls back on "But I only said there were discussions going on, not that they definitively would delay it!" The thing about his statements is that they're so vague they're practically meaningless.
