Final Fantasy x Platinum.
Don't worry it's been a downer in this thread alone for the past week or so. It will definitely continue tomorrow, just expect excitement for Mario and not much for everything else.
I'm pretty pessimistic. I don't think they're going to show anything we don't already know about.
At least 1/5 to 1/4 of the presentation will be Odyssey gameplay.

I mean we could get A 2018 game, but that's already pushing it since this is a 30 min direct. They gotta show Mario, Splatoon2, Indies, 3rd Party, Fire Emblem, Xeno2, rabbids and Pokken again and most importantly more 3DS games.

I think E3 2014 was their last "great" E3 for me personally.
E3 2015? Maaaaan those were dark days, especially coming off from what Sony showcased the day prior.

There have been many years where it's "Nintendo's E3 to lose" and then they have the worst E3 lol

Jokes on you I won't win anything.
I'm terrible at competitive games.
I'm also not interested in Arms.

I think I'll stick with Low expectations. For New Titles, I only want to hear about FE Switch basically because they keep teasing and it's pissing me off lol.
I need my Mario Odyssey Fix, it's all but guaranteed to be the strongest game at E3. So yeah, show us the game of the show Nintendo.
XB2 would be cool too.

Battle Sports Mekuru will be that game
That's a neat belt right there.

Hyrule Souls confirmed.
I mean that's fine, but we don't know too much about a few games going in tomorrow. Plus they are releasing within a few months unlike some others.
I'll never forget the desperation in the Jan 2013 Direct and making all of those announcements that didn't come out for a couple of years.

Lost Kingdoms 3, get hype.
I'll take it with some salt and pepper, cause that sounds down right delicious
Wasn't meant as expectations
. It's what would do something for me as I see it atm. Some of those things are even less likely than others.Seeing as how they weren't at Sony's press conference and they WERE on Nintendo's third party banner thingy, I can see them doing something. If they ARE there (which I'm not expecting), I wouldn't expect more than a Dark Souls remaster/trilogy. Don't think they'd have had time to do a full-fledged game for Switch since DS3 came out.

Well, with the 2017 focus and 25-minute length, they've at least done a much better job of managing expectations than they did some years (particularly 2012).
If you expect a ton of new announcements and end up disappointed, that's ultimately on you.
A Dark Souls remaster would be best case scenario. I don't want another Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

I sincerely hope that many Japanese devs are hard at work on many Switch games or Nintendo fucked up.

It's pretty sad how the best conference so far, was Devolver Digital's troll conference. Hope Nintendo can dazzle tomorrow.
fuck
well, if 3DS does show up somehow then I hope Atlus 3DS RPGs get some time in the limelight
I know the good folks at Treehouse will demo them but the Spotlight is front and center so it's the best time
They even throw 3DS games in the mix lol
Welcome, my friend.
This is a good thing.
What rumor?
We know they have a Switch game in development, is the rumor saying it will be shown tomorrow?

I love how literally anyone can say anything and it's considered a rumor. I wish I had started a few myself, just to see how often they'd be repeated despite no evidence on my part
If you expect some and get none, that's not on you
.But yeah I think you shouldn't expect much. Doesn't mean that their E3 can't be bad if you're just in the right mental place, but that being in the right mental place makes it being bad easier to bear.

Oof... E3 has been sort of a downer this year. Keeping my expectations low for Nintendo to avoid further disappointment.
Super Mario Odyssey (3-4 min)
Zelda BotW DLC 1 (2 min, possibly "available now." If not, it'll be due out in August or something)
Fire Emblem Warriors (2 min)
Mario + Rabbids (2 min)
Third Party/Indie rapid-fire announcements (10 min)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, delayed to 2018 (3 min)
Brief tease of one unannounced 2018 1st party game (2 min)
The End.

I honestly love the original Xenoblade's combat system and am just fine with them keeping it that way. All I want is a soundtrack, characters and narrative just as good as in the first one.
My final prediction stands, I don't expect much other than Mario, XB and hopefully a bunch of indies with solid release dates for this year. None of that "2018"/"Early 2018" bs. I want the Switch to position themselves as the console to have for the second half of this year beyond first party titles. Given what we've seen from MS and Sony, that shouldn't be too hard.

I guess some people from Tokyo said they saw Nintendo people near the train station that Fromsoft HQ is located.
No real confirmed source though.
