But Reggie likes mayo.

You sound like... like an Xbone fan.

*an old hag emerges from a throng of peasants and points a long gnarled finger at javac*

"He's a shilling astroturfing witch! Crucify him!"

GASP! I didn't even know that I was a Microsoft saucerer! But it seems to be fate. I was born to take over this hype train! I will crash it into the ground! And when GAF is...ashes. Then you have my permission to die!

Damn it, we went nuts again.
 
Star makes me think it might be something more along the lines of a Mario Party game perhaps. Probably supposed to refer to Mario Party 3DS, not NSMBU2. (but maybe that's just wishful thinking). I don't think it's possible that Nintendo thought it would be a good use of development resources to make a NSMBU2 game, although I guess only a fool would truly believe that they have Nintendo completely pegged.

I was thinking more along the lines of: 3D mario, but you can switch characters like SMB2 USA...

I wouldn't give it much thought if it weren't for the same thing on the Lanyard, and the exact same four characters used in SMB2 USA. Could be Mario Party, too, I suppose.
 
The other threads get juicy leaks while we get nothing. :/

To be honest... it's the fate of all Nintendo fans. Leaks hardly ever come. When we got the DKC:R reveal a day early, it was like god himself had opened Nintendo's drawers and lopped some strange nugget our way.
 
Who else is hoping for an Ambassador program?

Duh... 5 free GC games sounds like compensation enough.

To be honest, it's been a year (by this fall, I mean). They probably will not send an Ambassador's program our way. The NES 30 cent celebration was kind of like that already to be honest.
 
Yep but they won't be exclusive, because they;re silencing on PS4 announcement. We have to question all games at every announcement from now on.

I have serious doubts that Mirror's Edge 2 will come to Wii U, and that's because it's EA.

Prince of Persia for Wii U wouldn't be shocking.
 
dk in the lanyard means:

1. donkey kong is in smash bros.
2. donkey kong country strikes again by retro with story provided by frank miller
3. 3d donkey kong game similar to dk64

the second one seems the most likely choice. nintendo's doing safe things when they're in panic mode, and this would be among the safest (sequel to a 5 million+ selling game in a time when they need big franchises). the lanyard is showing all wii u games too, so it wouldn't be some belated dkcr 3d thing either.

4. Spiritual successor to Goldeneye with DK Mode modifier intact.
 
I'm predicting this now: The new 3D Mario game will have two-player simultaneous co-op. (technically I predicted this back in the "Revolution" days when Reggie teased us with the notion that it would change the "old" notion of video gaming being a controller, a console, connected to a TV).
 
Here's the gameplan to kill it on Tuesday:

Ambassador program: 5 Free GC games.
100 Dollar Price drop to $249.99 for the Deluxe
Nintendo starts a new Marketing program for this fall: "Games with No Restrictions." Or something of that ilk. Talk to the casual audience about how Nintendo allows you to rent / sell / do whatever with your purchased games.
Show some killer games.
 
Well considering how awful Nintendo's last E3 was and the amount of... uh... hype in the thread, I don't even want to begin to imagine the meltdowns if the direct is a disappointment.
 
Let's speculate about possible price drops.

I say a price drop of fiddy dolla, on the deluxe.
I'd take either that or a new bundle which includes a few more controllers or a different game to NintendoLand. If the Direct's really good then it's going to be a pain in the ass to wait a couple weeks to make sure I'm not about to miss out on a price-drop or new bundle here though. :T
