My bingo card consists of one entry and that is Iwata and Sakurai appear on screen wearing traditional sumo outfits and wrestle each other to introduce the first ever trailer of the new Smash Bros game.

Going all in baby.
 
They are bound to show a new trailer at least....and they should.

The fact is this Direct is going to be viewed by far more people than usual, so it would be silly not to use the Direct to push soon to be released content.

5 minutes combined would be enough to show a decent amount of Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and Super Luigi U.

Yeah, their inclusion is going to be minimal. That's what the Direct two weeks ago was for
 
The last wall of shame.

I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved not to be on that list.
 
not even two hours to go *HYPE*

I expect Nintendo to show trailers for many games, but they won't be as impressive as the over cinematic trailers with nearly no real actual gameplay as I've seen yesterday (except maybe Smash). In other words, give me my gameplay trailers of Mario, Kart, Retro's game, X, Yoshi and others please Nintendo
 
Im international. You call 2 in the morning convenient?

Fair enough. Still meant that since E3 is at LA and this Direct is in place of their usual press conference, you would think it would be broadcasted at LA time.

Because the direct isn't meant for the developers, publishers and journalists that are in LA? But instead intended for gamers (well...mostly Nintendo fans) everywhere?

The press and investors will have their own events later on.

Its part of E3. Of course its meant for everyone there and us, the gamers. They got rid of the press conference but this is their presentation before the doors open.

No biggie for me because I am on the east coast and 10am is ideal for me. And it won't matter if Nintendo really does well with the demos, show floor, and the interviews they have set up with the media outlets. Just odd that in replacement of the press conference which is usually set to LA time, the ND is very early in the morning for the LA crowd.
 
I do miss the Nintendo Gaffers from the last couple E3's :-( AceBandage, SNESfreak, etc.

Btw, where's bgassassin been? He was the Godfather of the WiiU Speculation threads! The boss! The big cheese! And ideaman was his inside man!
 
Lurking neogaf - when available - is my only way to get hype (in fact, a little bit)
waiting for 101 third annoucement or local pikmin 3 multiplayer ... is not :/

It's about time you showed up, Gaf! You're the only hope for our hype!
 
Why is everyone expecting to see Wii U Zelda? I don't think that project even left the drawing board.

A teaser can go a long way.

And I thought the remake WWHD was to hold fans over as they work on the next Zelda which usually has a 4-5 year development time.

Anyway this is a how I think Nintendo show order the show:

Start with the reveal of Mario U and end with either Retro's title, Smash trailer, or special tease of next Zelda. Whichever game of these looks the best to get buzz going.
 
Ah yeah! I'm up from my nap and under 2 hours to go. I think I'll play a little Xenoblade until the Direct starts...on second thought, I'm thinking ME3 MP.
