Fuck. Saw the announcement this morning, I'm excited as shit. Use of Zelda, Metroid, etc music has me excited for them to maybe... announce something other than Mario? I don't know, I don't care. I just wanna see Zelda U and whatever else they have in store.

As someone who's been super critical of Nintendo's marketing strategies in the past, I will say that the "Play Nintendo" sub-heading is actually brilliant.
Simple, nostalgic, powerful. Reminds me of the good old days.

There was Metroid music?
But yeah five punch knock-out is what Nintendo should be going towards: Mario Galaxy 3 + Zelda U + Animal Crossing U + Miyamoto's New IP + Please understand.

No no no.
When they are first giving Reggie the glass of water, I hear him saying "No Samus for you"...
I could be wrong though.

Pretty much. The press traditionally likes E3. They get to travel, be put up in a nice hotel, and feel like a VIP for a few days while the industry puts on an entertaining live song and dance for them, after which they go back to their laptops and report their findings while the gaming world hangs on their every word.
The notion of all that becoming irrelevant or even coming to an end, even if it's only Nintendo at this point, isn't something that they're going to immediately welcome.

Video was amazing. I think Nintendo has realized that it's really hard to compete with with Sony and Microsoft on the same fronts they operate on, so they've gotten more self-aware and weird. At least the NoA branch
I love it.
I love it.

Hahaha, finally watched it, hilarious. Better than any canned shit at a live presser. Real Reggie basically saying 'fuck it, I am going home' was the best.
And only 165K views in less than a day for an announcement video? Guess that means no one is going to tune into the Digital Event...

So... how about that 2014 and beyond? I know in the past Nintendo has been pretty good about saying how far ahead they'll be showing ("Come on guys, they SAID it would only be a spring direct!"). What do we take from 2014 and beyond? Showing off their holiday line up and teasing Zelda, Retro-Title, and X in 2015?

Game journalists are humans as well.
Thats rich coming form the poster who said this
"I can't possibly get excited about something on my own, I need herd mentality to do it for me."

I'm hoping this video replicates their plan for the conference. Make it theatrical, fun. Yes, the games being revealed are the most important part, but presentation is important as well. If they make something funny and interesting to watch like this, it will definitely get people excited or at the very least just INTERESTED in Nintendo. "Nintendo do something new" cannot be a bad headline.
This could be like another January '13 blowout, except better.
The video emphasised amazing nintendo debuts/new games, more than once. Plus we'll be getting more info on smash/bayo/x...so on.
So ill be pretty dissapointed if they dont deliver.

I hope this video and the Tomodachi direct mean that Nintendo is willing to let its weird side out more often, including E3
Maybe. But we all know Nintendo only has Smash for 2014 and will get rid of the Wii U and 3DS and release a new console.
Titles we know are in the works that could show up at E3:
- Super Smash Bros. (WiiU/3DS)
- The Legend of Zelda (WiiU)
- Sonic Boom (3DS/WiiU)
- Hyrule Warriors (WiiU)
- Monolith Soft's X (WiiU)
- Bayonetta 2 (WiiU)
- Fatal Frame (WiiU)
- Yarn Yoshi (WiiU)
- SMT x Fire Emblem (WiiU) *
- Pokken Fighters (WiiU?)
- Pikachu detective title (3DS) **
* Might be on hold due to Atlus shenanigans?
** The one with the horrifying Pikachu facial tech
Titles that seem like safe possibilities?
- Nintendo Land 2 (WiiU)
- Wii Sports U (WiiU)
- Paper Mario (WiiU)
- Animal Crossing (WiiU)
- Kirby platformer (WiiU)
- Mario Party (WiiU)
- Mario & Sonic at the World Cup (WiiU/3DS)
- Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)
What else?
- Super Smash Bros. (WiiU/3DS)
- The Legend of Zelda (WiiU)
- Sonic Boom (3DS/WiiU)
- Hyrule Warriors (WiiU)
- Monolith Soft's X (WiiU)
- Bayonetta 2 (WiiU)
- Fatal Frame (WiiU)
- Yarn Yoshi (WiiU)

Sounds about right next to the gamepad.
You can get up early and watch a stream, or get up early and watch the stream
Unless people really want to hear game "journalists" mark out at a game to know they should like that game too
Sonic Boom? And the fabled Miyamoto IP/NFC game if those show up.

Made better because Mega64. But meh because...I'm in Europe. That being said, the presentation sounds promising.
Sonic Boom I believe is confirmed to be there, in some form.
Also, maybe Retro pulled a fast one and has been working on a metroid, along side dktf?
Mario Galaxy HD
That's it and I think we'd be lucky to get even half of those games that you mentioned announced. There's going to be a lot of January 2013 Direct games at this E3, I think.

After seeing the plethora of threads and replies each and every week i just have to ask: why is everyone on nintendo's dick?
I mean hasnt a majority of GAF declared them irrelevant? Doesnt seem to be the case though.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Video was great. I honestly think Nintendo is better off just mainly marketing towards the demographic that gets a kick out of these. Trying to aim towards the kids who spend time on the new Disney Channel and what not that don't even show cartoons half the time kind of already tell you that audience is bugged out of their fucking minds.

I went back and added Sonic Boom.
I think SSB4, Zelda, Hyrule Warriors, Sonic Boom, X, Bayo 2, Yarn Yoshi and Fatal Frame are all likely. SMT x FE is questionable due to Atlus. Pokken Fighters and the Pikachu 3DS game will probably be revealed by The Pokémon Company on their own terms at their own venue.

Aside from Pikachu, has there been anything Nintendo related for the World cup?
Kirby seems iffy since they only would have really started 3 months ago so that's early stages.
I think either a Warioware or Rhythm Heaven seems likely.
that S.T.E.A.M. game seems very likely.
Next Level Games is almost certain to bring something
I think that 3DS Fossil Fighters game seems likely for aa Fall release

Well, when the Mega64 guy "warps" inside Reggie, the portal kind of resembles the portals from Metroid Prime Echoes (maybe the background was even taken from the game?), and the HUD also reminds me of Prime's interface. It's a bit of a stretch, but...
I hope there's a behind the scenes video from Mega64.
Prediction time *
Nintendo Digital Event starts...
- ... and it stars a different guy hosting the show. Everybody is confused, but Iwata and Reggie make cameo's
- The host of the show is excited to tell us everything about Nintendo's newest announcements
- He starts of with 3DS and is off to a strong start;
- It's Metroid Dre3DS, a 2D adventure coming to our 3DS's in 2014
- Next up, a few localization tidbits: You-kai Watch, Dragon Quest VII and The Great Ace Attorney will make it to the west.
- Other games are announced via a trailer
- The second 3DS title from Nintendo will be Fossil Fighters.
- And finally, Fire Emblem Awakening gets a sequel
- Wii U portion starts.
- First up Smash Bros. Wii U, a new character trailer + a handful of details. Because Nintendo's is marketing the game heavily, you'll get more videos after the show.
- Bayonetta 2 final release date: september
- Hyrule Warriors final release date + trailer
- Yarn Yoshi finally shows itself
- First new Wii U reveal: Nintendo's NFC game will be very, very weird but charming.
- Second Wii U reveal: >insert super secret game joke<
- Final Reveal: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U... which sports a Wind Waker look. Shit will be wrecked.

I'm already seeing "Nintendo are skipping E3 again!" posts on other, dedicated gaming forums. Subsequent posters fully believe it too
lol
You want on the hype train?! Surprise, you were never off!
Excellent lol
