He played Skyward Sword and couldn't figure out how to open a door with a very obvious pinwheel above it after getting the gust bellows, then he thought the beamos were "invincible turrets" because the gust bellows didn't kill them and he forgot he had a sword.

I was wondering if someone had assembled in a neat post all the sort of educated guesses/known stuff, that we have in our hands already, like for example, the new Zelda, the NFC game, etc. so as to have a basis and then we could speculate on and on and on..
Well, there isn't much to go on right now; we do know that this Thursday Nintendo will show off their fiscal earnings, maybe that will have a nugget or two concerning E3.I was wondering if someone had assembled in a neat post all the sort of educated guesses/known stuff, that we have in our hands already, like for example, the new Zelda, the NFC game, etc. so as to have a basis and then we could speculate on and on and on..
At this point;
- Smash Bros. Tournament
- Zelda Wii U
- NFC game
Are the things that got confirmed.
Most likely;
- Bayonetta 2
- X
- Hyrule Warriors
Everything else;
- we dunno

Thank you Sadist. Yes, not so many concrete details.
Perhaps, the concept of the "dual gamepads for a single game" could materialise, although I find it rather unlikely.
On a side note, X has to be revealed in all its glorious form.

I liked TP's overworld. Riding epona in the expansive fields, using horse combat and admiring the scenery while that amazing theme played in the background just felt grand, even if some areas seemed empty or lacking in activity/life.
It could've been better sure, but overall, there was enough worthwhile content and secrets for me to lose myself exploring the overworld for hours. Only other issues I had were lack of challenging enemies and the overabundance of rupees I would find when my wallet was always full. Too bad I don't have that problem IRL.

... That's very sad. Did he watch the same video as the rest of us? Is he doing it on purpose? Is he getting his information from the chicken-scratched notes of a disgruntled Nintendo hater? Or is he really that unable to think logically? He actually called the Smash Bros Invitational a bad idea until the chat told him about it being playable at Best Buy.. The invitational, regardless of whether or not the had the demo at Best Buy, is one of the best ideas Nintendo has had lately.
See. This kind of stuff right here is why people believe there is significant, irrational bias against Nintendo. Not just among press, but among gamers in general. I couldn't bother to keep watching, because almost everything he said while I was watching was wrong. He even specifically said that Nintendo would not be at E3. I cannot, and will not believe that he actually watched the video. Or if he did, he obviously watched it without paying any attention. And then he takes this negative stance based on completely incorrect information. Do people actually care about this person's opinion? Or do they just like to watch him because he is bad at games?
Add to that "journalists" focusing on the lack of a press conference, and not the amazing smash tournament or constant daily treehouse coverage (which should be huge, actually), and how am I supposed to think that people are actually being rational about this?
Now, at the same time, I do understand why people believe having a press conference is important. When 2 out of the 3 companies are having press conferences, and the one that isn't is the one that's having pretty bad issues selling its console, it's easy to see how people could jump to the conclusion that they're "backing out", or some nonsense like that. (Even though the Play Nintendo video is brimming with confidence) It's all about image to many people.
But this doesn't mean that Nintendo's new way of doing things is inherently bad. In fact, as long as the content is good, and the streams hold up, I think it's inherently better. But it's going against the status quo. And when only 1 company is doing it, they'll be seen as doing it wrong. If both Sony and Nintendo were doing this, and Microsoft wasn't, most of the news would be about how the two of them were paving new paths in game coverage and company to customer interaction. And Micro would be seen as the old dinosaur doing things the old way.
It's all about perception.
I have to agree, but with that said, I love DarksydesPhil's content. I think he's a bumbling fool in the best way possible, not to mention he has the best read-aloud playthroughs of the Ace Attorney games of all people on Youtube!
His biggest mistake is never playing OoT because of his nostalgia for ALttP though.

You guys do know that DSP thrives on clickbaits
You know good and well that he isn't. DSP has always had a tremendously ugly personality.
Oh god, I remember this. I spent hours watching this playthrough and laughing to the point of tears at how unbelievably fucking stupid he is.
So Mega 64 released their podcast, and they cover their involvement on the Nintendo E3 announcement.
Its the second half of the podcast, and they start talking about Nintendo at the 30 minute mark and spend the next 30 minutes talking about it.
http://youtu.be/zHVp-KhybNM?t=30m
Some highlights:
- Nintendo contacted Mega64 to possibly do a video right after PAX East ended. They got the call on the plane ride back to San Diego.
- They took an airplane up to Redmond and only had two days to film it and took another couple of days to edit.
- There's a Nintendo World Store up at Redmond that only has stuff that you can find there.
- Tickets for Nintendo NOA headquarters tours costs thousands of bucks and the proceeds are donated to the Make a Wish foundation!
- Nintendo supplied all the extras for the video.
- There were apparently a ton of takes of the scene where Erik Peterson splashes Reggie with water.
- Initially, Reggie had a smaller role and was only going to do a couple of scenes with about an hour or so of filming. Instead, Reggie cleared his Tuesday schedule and Nintendo made sure he could do whatever Mega64 asked him to do.
- Normally, NOA doesn't allow to anyone to film inside their headquarters, so initially they were going to use an office site a block away. Reggie gave the okay to film inside, and that's when they were able to get the conference room scene. This is apparently the first time somebody was allowed to film inside headquarters outside the studio areas ever.
- Because of that, the video was even mentioned at places like CNN, and Forbes for showing a part of Nintendo that many don't get to see.
- There probably won't be a making of or behind the scenes companion video because of this, because there's a lot of sensitive info that Nintendo probably doesn't want leaked, even accidentally.
- Rocco had access to Nintendo's backlog, and he simply listened to the Skyward Sword soundtrack, and liked it. That's why it was playing. So, that wasn't actually a tease of what's coming up next.

That's pretty interesting to see from Nintendo.

Why is Nintendo HQ so private
A leaky boat can spill many secrets.
Or something...
Why do you think 5% of their payroll goes to Ninjas?
There are posters of Zelda U and upcoming F-Zero game everywhere in the building.
That was my hope at first when I came across his videos but I honestly don't think so at all. I think he's genuinely like this. He shouldn't be praised at all by anyone. Should not be given the benefit of the doubt either.

I'd say it's more that only best buy has facilities that can handle the crowds. One in Denver last year has 500 people. I can't imagine them trying that at a Gamestop.

Why not wait for E3 to say it?
Why? Why? Is my bingo card wrong?

I can't believe they didnt save the announce for E3. Oh well. Obviously, we'll get gameplay footage and more mega evolutions (and maybe smash bros reveals to coincide?), but it's kinda lame to announce stuff BEFORE E3. Don't get it.
Either it was to shore up the investor Q+A which goes up tommorrow, or like Sony they're getting remake/port news out of the way early (although it's Nintendo, so more likely they accidentally pressed the wrong button and a video and press release went out because of a drunken mishap)

Or somebody was about to leak it. Nintendo announced the 3DS before they wanted to because of that.
Pokemon is their second biggest franchise. A pokemon announce at E3 could be huge. Hopefully this means that this is small potatoes compared to what they have to show (but I doubt it). I hope you're right.
That's why they announced it...3DS sales are low.
I guess. It makes sense to announce it because of the investor stuff, I guess. I just wish they had put all off their eggs in the E3 basket. Oh well.

For Sony it leaked though so they addressed it. Here it seems like a waste of a surprise.
I'm interested in his Nin is going to right the ship.

Sir!
Is this true? I'm going to be in the area in a couple months and would love to check it out, but their website explicitly says there's only the one in NYC, and Google searches don't have anything about it. Yelp turns out that there used to be a giftshop in their headquarters but they closed it down.
All the stuff they showed on the podcast I had *JUST* bought at the nintendo world store in new york. Except the mug, i guess. BUt that rob shirt, that kamek plushie, all of it at the world store in ny. Main difference, I assume, is mine say "nintendo world store new york' on the back, whereas his probably say 'nintendo world store redmond'.

sometimes it seems Reggie has no power in the company at all but interesting he could give the okay here
Ofcourse he has some power.I imagine all American marketing has to be approved by him.

Nintendo will likely have the biggest booth at E3, as they have for years. The only thing a digital event changes is the gaming press' feeling of self worth.
So does this means that the artstyle in Zelda Wii U will not be anything like the demo showed on E3?

I was there in the early 2000's. There's also a bit of a museum and a cafe' for the employees ( don't remember what I ate but I think the menu was themed). I walked through a bit of it as a DigiPen student but it's been too long for me to even remember what I was doing there. I also don't remember if any of it is actually open to the public outside of tours.

My predictions:
Short Zelda U gameplay teaser, will feel very "focus tested" aka Ocarina 3.0 in attempt to nostalgia the 20 somethings
We get a name for "X" but nothing else new
Palutena is announced for Smash as a character, Ridley is shown as a moderately cool stage hazard/boss thing
Takamaru is getting a surprise revival a la Kid Icarus Uprising
Mario Kart 8 is focused on way too much
A really dumb fitness peripheral is showcased
Retro's new project turns out to be porting Tropical Freeze to the 3DS
Solid release dates for both Smash games
Indie montage that includes Shovel Knight, A Hat in Time and Child of Light
Someone besides Sakurai also makes fun of Iwata's "direct to you" hand gesture

I made it half red and half blue to represent 3DS and WiiU. Will soon fill mine up!
Quite a few things I'm excited for at this E3, but its all just stuff we mostly know about already, some surprises would be awesome.
Very excited to see Zelda U, more of Project X, more of Bayonetta 2, more of SSB.
Most of these games we've known about for a while though...and X coming out sooner would have done Nintendo a world of good. I remember all the mindbooms here when X was first announced with that trailer, gave me a feeling of "Maybe Wii U is gonna do well after all", but then we barely seen much of it since then.
Other than that...just they need to have surprises. A Metroid would make me yell in excitement, ha ha. Metroid is pretty much the one surprise announcement I really want... I think more needs announcing for 3DS too...maybe another 3D Mario..., their focus however should be the Wii U for sure. If they're not gonna try, why should anyone buy?

This is just so sad and cynical. That line about Zelda U killed me.
