If this was still like... March. Sure.
But we're a little over a week away now.

IGN leaked DKRC as a "Retro developed DK game" a day prior, I don't know how I would've reacted had I'd been surprised by the unveiling.
So yeah, best not to leak anything like that.

Ahh yes.. I remember when you bought a game and walked out of Babbages knowing that all of the game was in that bag. Amazing, in retrospect.

Sigh. All this talk bout Nintendo vs Sega. I miss my Atari 2600. R.I.P.

Yeah, I'm going to be pissed if a game that will be there is announced 2 days before the show.

I expect you guys to post a cover of Nintendo Power with WiiU on it
my first subscription to that magazine was in 1989 beat that

beat thatThis was mine (or at least, the earliest one I still have):
I was like ZOMG a sequel to Gold/Silver already??
Then I found out it was just an expansion...
The next one I got, probably later that year:
It was fricking STACKED. It was as thick as a textbook. Crazy amount of content.
Apparently it's on eBay for $26. :O
Oh man, the huge Metroid Prime issue. I definitely remember getting that.
Video game mags ain't what they used to be. Damn you Internet!
Also, I'm 20. First console was a Genesis at my grandmothers house, but I pretty much grew up with N64 and GBC.

Meh, I don't go into no-leak mode until next Tuesday.
Just to clarify, I wouldn't necessarily want to hear "Retro is working on ________" but more like a tweet saying "Just saw Retro's new title! AMAZING. Call of what?"

It was literally hours before. Like, not even a day.

Probably is, IGN isn't that subtle.

Yeah, those non-revelations of enthusiasm are pointless but I like them.

EDGE is still pretty large.
I wasn't specifically talking about Wii U. I know that they have such middleware for Wii and 3DS (called NW4R and NW4C), and I believe there also was one for DS, so I'm sure there is or will be one for Wii U as well - but I haven't seen any confirmation yet.
SOMTHING will get spoiled before e3 anyway
Well, I hope that if they spoil something, it's just a lil' somethin' somethin'. Nothing too big.
22 years old here and started gaming with the NES. Wouldn't have it any other way.
you are my twin =} except I'm not 22 for 5 months lol.

What if it's A Link to the Past 2 3DS???
That's a good-level reveal. Nothing too hyperbomby, but big enough to make me squeal a little bit. I'd be quite content with that kind of leak, as I would with most 3DS leaks.

That would still tell us it's an FPS though. I think even that's more than I want to hear about leading up to E3 at this point.
LTTP 2 would most certainly be hyperbomby. That would be huge.

I really need to leave this place until e3 hits. IGN and whoever else are going to leak all the big stuff before the conference. I don't want my damn movie spoiled

Do you guys think the N64 had better Western support than the PS1? I can't think of a notable Western PS1 exclusive off the top of my head.
Re: NFC chat from a few pages back, one idea brought up that I agree with is to include it with existing standalone type toys, like regular figurines/action figures, and have tie ins to games through that rather than have stuff specifically designed only for the games.
And one example I don't think has been brought up but would be obvious if you thought about it: Lego. There's already that Lego game coming out and there's already a massive amount of Lego kits out there. Slap on some NFC tags to the boxes or insert a card and blammo, more sales for all! The scanned stuff can be put in use in game, download the models if they're not already on the disc, etc.

Man, I have to tell you, I hate your avatar SO MUCH.
But yeah, LTTP 2 would be huge. Gotta move my ass and finish the first one to be ready.

I don't think IGN has that kind of contacts anymore.
Ehh.. I view most portable gaming as "oh.. that's nice." Definitely enjoyable, and I love what Nintendo puts-out.. but I'd never cry or outright scream like a loon at any portable-related news. Just a quirk.

They're still a huge gaming website. They get contacts just by virtue of that alone. It's definitely not the same as it was back in the days of Matt/Bozon though.

Well, I wish someone would at least give us clarification on whether or not Retro's title is there. If it's not at Nintendo's conference(s) I'm going to be real-life pissed. I'm serious.

I wouldn't mind a leak if it was the details of their online or OS but Retro's new game or something out of left field like a new 3D Mario? lol no thanks.

Not touching any game sites or blogs starting that weekend. Would like to actually be surprised going into the show this year. Last minute spoilers can be pretty annoying. Either do it weeks before but not right before.
That's the thing.. Nintendo is crazy enough to do things like that. We just don't know, and I love that about them.
Why?
I don't either, but I think a LTTP sequel will always be a megaton no matter what platform....well besides like the iPad.

I have no idea but I can't see them not saying or showing something of it.
90% sure it'll be there.
I remember Crash Bandicoot, but I don't think that counts.
brilliant work watson.

You're not alone. If Nintendo doesn't make a big deal out of Retro's title at E3 I will be upset. If they don't show it at all I will be pissed.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Almost 40's GAF has lived through it all, and it damn proud of it
I was the oddblall all into the TG-16 so that was my battle
I was also a Turbo Grafx devotee. I thought Nintendo was kiddy. And Sega was for assholes. There are probably posts stored on backup tapes somewhere from Prodigy servers where I'm railing against Nintendo.
Repping 23ish Nintendogaf! This E3 is going to be so Epic, the ninjas have ensured that stealth megaton bombs will indeed be dropped on our unsuspecting brains.
(Note that the word epic was not a cryptic hint of support by epic)
Started on the NES and haven't looked back since, Nintendo's handheld, home console, and a semi-decent PC is all that I need to make it through any console gen. (Though I did enjoy my PS1 back in the day)

Yeah, if Retro's game is not there, I will consider the conference a failure.
Who is the person that posted those?
