So what are everyone's thoughts on Nintendo as a whole this E3?
DS
No new games
All announcements will be localizations (Kirby, Layton, and maybe some older stuff)
Budget Line?
Wii
1-2 new games (Wii Something and a 2D game)
3-4 localizations (Kirby, Xenoblade, Last Story, and an inexplicable choice of an older game)
Software Montage
Wii Something=August, Kirby=August, Xenoblade=September, Zelda=October, 2D game=November, other localized game=December, Last Story=January
3DS
The bulk of the conference
A new Pokemon game
Entirely too much time spent on an average looking third-party game that shows off some facet of the system (Online? Graphics?)
Super Mario 3DS will be shown in detail
Some focus on "applications" like Netflix and messaging friends
Several big first-party and third-party games announcements, probably in a montage
Star Fox=July, Kid Icarus=September, Animal Crossing=October, Mario Kart=October, Mario=November, Paper Mario=February, Pokemon=March
Cafe
Goofy lifestyle trailer of the controller and some games
Some basic details of its capabilities and the focus or goal of the system
Several trailers of third-party and first-party games
Smash Bros, Wave Race, Mario, Retro's new game?, etc.
Iwata will read off a list of third-party brands that will appear on the system, like he did last year for the 3DS
