Hopefully none during the Spotlight, they already announced a new Pokemon and 3 Atlus RPGs last week. It would be cool if they showed up during Treehouse but I'm hoping this is just Switch stuff. It needs more eyes on it than 3DS at this point.

Almost time. Can't wait to see more of announced games and any big surprises.
First E3 I watch where I don't have the main Nintendo console. (And I'm not planning to get one either).
Will be rough to watch.
Same. I still don't have a Switch and I don't give a damn about 3DS anymore so if they announce something huge, it's gon' be rough to watch

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I assume the Green Lantern picture hints at a HAL Laboratory I.P. revival---with the "double" hint maybe a game starring Lolo and Lala?

Mario Odyssey 20 minutes trailer + footage will be awesome and everyone of you will love it and forget about DEAD METROID.
Nintendo will save the 3ds with 5 new games
I got one of those last month and it was for my choice of ~10 titles. All of which were Wii U or I already own.

I'm sure we've all been quivering with anticipation, but I've survived the last half-hour of the wait by riding around restlessly in BotW. Whatever happens, and however much or little we receive, we'll always have that (and Arms at the end of the week).
Quoting my own scorecard from last night, just for convenient personal reference:
I thought this was a relatively realistic approach, but given Bill Trinen's effort to manage expectations by reiterating the focus on holiday 2017, I'm starting to think it's overly optimistic. At this juncture, I'm preparing for the dread of receiving none of the four items in my grab-bag category.
I'm also not expecting anything significant out of the first Treehouse hour. Odyssey is the banner title for the entire show, and if they keep its Spotlight segment succinct, I think it will be the centre of attention afterwards. Last year, the lead-off segment was a close look at the newly announced Pokémon (Sun/Moon received a lengthy segment at the start after the BotW trailer and before BotW returned to take over the rest of the week). Surprises may come in the form of eShop games, indie ports or console exclusives, and more content for the 3DS, but don't count on anything big (and particularly anything far off enough that it doesn't have a playable demo). It's very rare that Nintendo makes any kind of huge announcement off their main presentation: Brawl in 2006 is the biggest one I can think of, while in recent years we received Code Name: STEAM in a midweek press event. Smaller titles that appear on the YouTube channel and in the press kits do happen, though (and I think this was the case with W101).
Essentially, if you're dreaming of a Switch retail title and you don't see it in the 25-minute blitz, don't hurt yourself with that lingering thread of hope.
Anyway: good luck, everyone! StarTropics! Wave Race! Wrecking Crew! Urban Champion! Ultra Hand!

I had a derivative of this as an avatar before E3 2015. My current avatar went up the day of the Direct.
Monkey paw, folks.
