Please be Metroid...please be Metroid: Dread. Or Zelda or Super Mario Galaxy Universe or Bayonetta 2 gameplay.

Yoshi's Island really? How many people have even played that game much less care about it? I know I don't. The new Monolith Soft game would probably be a much bigger bomb than that.

I know it is sacrilege here, but I don't even like Yoshi's Island. Anything else, even Wii Sports U, would be more exciting for me. I loved Wii Sports Resort though, so yeah.

You know that Yoshi's Island (SNES), Yoshi's Island (GBA), Yoshi's Story (N64), and Yoshi's Island 2 (DS) all sold a million copies plus in Japan. It's a very successful franchise.

The DS Yoshi's Island, which a lot of people weren't crazy about if I recall (never played it), sold 3 million copies on a system with a lot of piracy. So it's a pretty good seller.

A Facebook event means something big is coming? It likely means Nintendo remembered they had a FB account.

It isn't exactly promising if E3 2012 was the other event which they felt was worth bringing out their FB account for.
What do you mean? Nintendo updates their Facebook Pages (they have multiple; Nintendo, Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DS, Super Mario, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and The Legend of Zelda) all the time! This is just the first time they've made an event like this.

I think it may relate to one of THQ game... (I think?)

However I am inclined to believe that it would be Wii U Exclusive Game like Bayonetta 2 or something that is only on Wii U.

and what if that game is RE6

Nice. I've never played any of them personally, but I really don't think Yoshi's Island Wii U is going to get anyone excited other than Yoshi's Island fans. It's certainly not going to win over the supposedly "hardcore gamers" on the Sony side or Microsoft side.

That's why I feel something like that is likely to be their big announcement for this ND. I think they will reveal a new game that Nintendo fans will like, but they'll save their western audience games like Zelda, Metroid, 3D Mario, whatever Retro is working on, etc. for their E3 conferences.

Is this old? Possible exclusive remake of Resident Evil 2 for Wii U to be announced tomorrow.

EDIT: Translation

Nintendo just announced a Nintendo Direct dedicated to Wii U that will be streamed tomorrow at 3PM PM.
The company of the mustache plumber should announce new games.
For its part, Capcom just announced that Resident Evil Revelation is comming to PS3/360/PC and Wii U and released a little teaser by announcing that this won't be the only title coming for Wii U.
This events have created hype over a rumor that is expanding around forums: Nintendo and Capcom would announce a remake of Resident Evil 2 exclusively for Wii U!

From reading the Iwata tweet, he mentions Wii U titles that Nintendo are developing, so it sounds to me like it could be first-party games only.

That doesn't make sense to me. These directs are covered on IGN and other big Western sites, so they get plenty of coverage outside of Nintendo circles if you will.

I agree. I think Nintendo wants to save something for E3 (that's my guess), but honestly, I think they would get more attention outside of E3 because Sony and Microsoft will dominate the headlines no matter what.

That's pretty flimsy. Forums start a lot of wrong rumors, as we know.

I'm really interested in 101 as well, but they need a timeline for the second quarter really and then some teasers for future releases beyond that. I mean they're certainly working on a new Zelda right? Tease that. It seems like Nintendo is really bad at marketing...
