"Is their hype dead yet?"
"Not yet, Reggie, I mean, sir. They still think it'll be like the April Direct."
"Lower it another 5."

Just assuming as I don't think Nintendo is dumb enough to show nothing new. I guess they could think that they can coast with Mario like they did last year with Zelda.

I'm on mobile so I can't really search now but I recall him saying he saw the development of BotW and took it as a challenge to sorta outdo that game with Mario Odyssey. I'm sure someone else can find that quote.
I'm just commenting on the guy implying that because a game got leaked that it cannot be "the" surprise, as though somebody not only mistakenly opened his gift, but he wasn't pleased with it and now feels entitled to another.

I dont know why I think Bethesda will be showing commander keen multiplatform with the swtich version having some dumb exclusive thing like a mario costume.

Every time Metroid is mentioned, the Spotlight loses 1 minute
I got a feeling that might actually be the surprise tbh. Personally bracing for a slightly underwhelming E3 but if MHXX gets a date all is well with it!

We might end up seeing something out of Smash Bros for sure.
I want to believe, but reality is a cruel mistress.
Don't do this please... I don't want to even think about it, my heart can't take it

Stop projecting. That was not what I was implying.
Kamiya? Trolling? Ha!
There is no way they'd make another game after how that sold

Nintendo is known for doing bizarre shit.

Oh god we're at 25 minutes now?
I try not to get hung up too much on length but we're reaching a point where the time for games we don't yet know about is very, very limited.

Use your own brain.
They could fund 2 Star Fox Zeroes for the cost of making another W101

No one wants another Star Fox ever.
/bait
I will chew a shoe if that happens. No way.

Better than drinking your own piss.
They'll fund it with the sales from Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Tropical Freeze Deluxe + the Mother Trilogy Collection
Sorry, just came off that way. As though because the game was leaked that it makes it ineligible for being a big surprise.
It's not anywhere near the top of my list of games to be excited about, but it was clearly supposed to be a big surprise.

1 game per frame at 60fps, there ya go, approximately 90,000 games shown off at the Spotlight
Before they've been off by a few minutes, but other times they've been dead on. It really depends on if the worldwide streams all have the same information in them.
Don't really expect 5-10 minute variance from their timestamps.
So he will get started on the sequel if E3 is good?

I'm interested in it but I hope Mario + Rabbids isn't the big surprise of the show. Especially since we've known of its existence for months.
Even if they didn't announce any brand new Switch games, the lineup that we already know about would make a better show than E3 2015. No way it can be worse.
But has it been officially revealed? I wonder if that has to do with games being surprises or not
I wish it was that, too. But if they do just focus on 2017, and show off Mario, Mario + Rabbids, Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade 2, and then announce some smaller games or third-party stuff to fill the little gaps here and there, then it's not so bad. The Treehouse streams can flesh out everything, and there's always more Directs before the end of the year.
Based on the description of the event it seems Mario will get most of the attention. Like I said before unless it's coming this year or any of the already announced titles gets delayed I don't think we'll see anything beyond holidays releases.
I'll join in:
I desperately need a new
They'd need to change up Pikmin and AC quite drastically in terms of art style and tone especially for me to really care about them again. They've all been very similar on those fronts. That said, if others want them, then I hope Nintendo will keep making them.
Edit: might as well put these two random predictions here:
- Rocket League for Switch - with some Nintendo related content (like Mario Kart karts / arenas or more F-Zero stuff to piss off F-Zero fans even more).
- Metroid Other M: Director's Cut for Switch, i.e. the only Metroid game they can (have Tecmo Koei help) pump out quickly but now with less heels and less inner monolgues about the baby - it just would make too much sense considering how salty Metroid fans are after Federation Force.

They can announce nothing and it already wins. Mario Odyssey, Pokemon Gold and Silver, Pokemon US/UM, and Xenoblade 2 are enough to make me happy.
Edit: Oh, and Fire Emblem Warriors, too.

Unless they cancel Xenoblade 2 and close with Rabbids rap it's going to be better than 2015 one.

Everyone bargaining now on how good the 20 min direct will be lol and what it will take for them to be satisfied. Classic Nintendo Direct thread lol

I like to think Nintendo's willing to brush all Wii U flops aside as a fluke since the Wii U itself flopped.
Yes I know you can look at the game's sales relative to the install base but lemme dream please
If we knew they would pull off their own big event yearly (e.g. Blizzcon, or their own January event) people would probably not get so worked up about a lousy E3.
Indeed, nothing has changed!
It's like "wow if only Nintendo more of these 'Directs' multiple times a year, especially for next year's games."
They'll do a Fall one for some stuff next year, like they did during the Wii U era. Even Sony has gotten wise and created their own 2nd show for more game announcements after E3. Idk, I guess I'm not burnt from the Wii U droughts as opposed to some others...
