Event - E3 Invitational 2014 E3 2014 speculation: Any more to come?

[Cheezey Bites]

TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW !

Dragon Quest is on the horizon, that's the only thing I'm certain of...

The rest were all fairly likely though if you looked at it objectively.

 

[dezeray112]

Well, with Nintendo recently unveiling NFC technology for both the Wii U and 3DS, I think it is guaranteed we could get more info on this within E3 along with the IP games that will consist of this technology.

 

[Sonicguy726]

So we have 3 thing we know we are gonna see zelda, pokemon R/S and smash

[Sonicguy726]

Paper Mario 3?

But there are already 4 paper mario games

 

[Cheezey Bites]

But there are already 4 paper mario games

Super Paper Mario is a spin-off, and I thought when writing it that Sticker Star was too, though I guess it might be counted...

 

[Sonicguy726]

It's not a spin-off just because it plays different doesn't mean it doesn't count

 

[Pazzo.]

I'd also like to see some stuff relating to Kid Icarus, but who knows.

 

[Morbi]

I'd also like to see some stuff relating to Kid Icarus, but who knows.

Kid Icarus: DTF

I can see it happening. That would also be a good time to reveal Palutena, if there were plans to make a sequel to Uprising.

It's too much of a gem to let go. All that voice acting....

 

[Sonicguy726]

It's too much of a gem to let go. All that voice acting....

Or a wii u port with extra chapters and features

 

[Morbi]

It's too much of a gem to let go. All that voice acting....

The voice-acting is the only reason I bought the game to be honest, well, and to learn more about Pit. But that is beside the point, I would certainly purchase a sequel day one.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Hopefully we get some screenshots of Omega Ruby and Aqua Sapphire at E3, I just went out to preorder Alpha Sapphire!

I think we'll definitely get a trailer, I mean if there wasn't why announce it now rather than E3

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

As much as I believe it will happen, I just want more on screen footage of the game AND I WANT IT NOW!!! We already have on screen footage of Sonic Boom, another thing I'm excited about, and absolutely nothing on the new Pokemon things. And I'm surprised I was able to preorder the game just after it was announced.

I just want to see sonic boom gameplay, but not trailer style, you can't really get a good look at the gameplay, I mean a demo would be nice

 

[egaddmario]

Kid Icarus: DTF

DTF? Down to ****? I'd play that

Yeah, I hope it's as fun as Sonic Adventure 2! Last time they did something like that where other characters were also playable throughout the main story, it was rushed, and the game looked like it was designed by the bathroom attendant!

 

[Deleted member]

DTF? Down to ****? I'd play that

Now I got all types of images in my head that I'd prefer were not there.
Thanks, for that.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

You may be on to Something Cheezy. They have Smash reveals in each of the mini conferences of each game to maximize da hype.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta will definitely get a new trailer since both titles will get a Japanese summer release. Especially the former since it been months since we've had any news about it.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Exactly a month to go. Or four weeks and two days if you wanna get exact

 

[MasterofMonster]

Exactly a month to go. Or four weeks and two days if you wanna get exact

That's using Normal Days/Weeks.

You have to use E3 Days/Weeks now.

4 months until E3!

 

[Deleted member]

4 millennia until E3!

FTFY

 

[Gameboi834]

4 ever until E3!

FTFY

FTFY, T.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

If you enjoy countdowns that aren't within striking distance take a look at this one for the latest possible release date for Smash 3DS/

More than 100 days on that one.

 

[samsparta21]

I'm predicting they reveal one newcomer right away, then maybe a few veterans, then later they introduce a surprise newcomer Wii Fit Trainer style.

 

[Snagrio]

I'm imagining something more along the lines of Brawl's E3 trailer where there was a barrage of newcomers revealed during a single segment. This will be the last major marketing push the game(s) will get (aka not including subsequent Directs), so it's probably safe to assume that most, if not all the cards will be on the table.

I don't trust cheesy predictions like this, especially if it's a countdown.

[Morbi]

I am probably the only person that cares only about Smash. I suppose I am interested in learning more about Zelda U as well, but other than that, Smash.

Well it seems to be the big thing Nintendo wants to hype, probably for a good reason to.
Personally I'm excited for the Nintendo and Sony conferences, and whatever Valve is going to show if anything at all.

 

[GamerGuy09]

Here is my prediction on how the E3 Digital Event will go down:

First Section: Smash Bros.

Sakurai will come personally on stage and discus Smash. He will talk more in depth about the customized movesets of Smash, and what they entail. He will go on to talk about returning playable characters. He will announce Wario, Ness, and Falco and how they changed.

He will then talk about the connectivity between the Wii U and the 3DS versions of the games. He will then announce the release date of the 3DS version of Smash. He then shows a new trailer that includes the newly announced veterans and a newcomer, Miis. As Sakurai loves to do announcements in 2s, he also announces Pac-Man in a post ending cinematic.

Second Section: NFP

Nintendo talks about the NFP and what the figurine are, when, and what price. Nintendo announces a brand new game that heavily relies on these figurines. It is an adventure game in which you can play as multiple Nintendo characters.

Third Section: The Games

Nintendo discusses Hyrule Warriors and say that Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are all playable characters. They reveal a fall release date. They announce Ganondorf for Smash and his new moveset.

Nintendo announces a Rhythm Heaven Wii U.

Nintendo gives some details on Beyonetta 2.

They have a teaser trailer for a new Metroid game that is slated for Summer 2015.

Fourth Section: Zelda

Nintendo reveals a new Zelda game. It has gone back to a bit more gritty, slightly realistic tone like Twilight Princess. They annouce the release for holiday 2015.

 

[TheAnvil]

My "unlikely prediction" for E3:

Pacman
Mii
Ridley

If I'm right then I'm gonna pull a Sal Romano on you guys and try to make out that I have inside info.

If you want to pull a Sal Romano you've got to pick someone who doesn't have a very active support thread, and has gotten less than 15% on RTC... May I suggest Slime?

Also, it'd help to get the first guesses wrong, but then hand wave it and release another anyway saying that the characters you said are definitely still to come, honest!

 

[Pacack]

Everyone keep in mind that Zelda U does not have anything to do with the Zelda that was made to showcase the Wii U's graphical capabilities.

They have stated that they don't even share the same engine. It's very likely that Zelda U won't look anything like that.

We won't really know until we see it, they know we want a game that looks like that

http://wiiudaily.com/2013/06/zelda-wii-u-will-feature-a-unique-art-style/

"The thing about Zelda is we want everything to be unique, whether it’s the graphical presentation or the gameplay."

"It has to be something you can’t see anywhere else. We wouldn't want it to be ultra-realistic because you can see that elsewhere. But I can’t say that it’s going to be cartoony-realistic like you mentioned, the fantastic presentation that we've already done in the past. It will be something new."

Aonuma promises that Zelda U's artstyle will be "something new". Since we have already seen the demo, it is not new. Therefore, Zelda U's artstyle will not be the same as the demo's.

I wonder what they can do, they've done realistic, they've done cartoony, they've done something in the middle and even then the demo wasn't that realistic

Okay, but if we don't get an epic Gohma boss battle like in the demo, I'm gonna be hella disappointed.
