You know what also would be great news? At E3, Nintendo shows off Hayao Miyazaki's REAL last project... Studio Ghibli's Legend of Zelda.

Wow! I'm not sure why I've never thought of this before. The Legend of Zelda, being my favorite series of anything, and Studio Ghibli, a studio of which I am fond of for their Anime and art direction. . . A collaboration between the two would be beautiful (though to be fair, probably not the direction the Wii-U currently needs for a mass-appeal)! The chance, unlikely as it may be for Zelda Wii-U, or perhaps any Zelda in general, at least gives me the ability to imagine something wonderful. Ha ha.

 

[dezeray112]

I would love it if they showed a new Fire Emblem game (even though I predict and hope that they will show Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem game) at E3.

 

[Dread Fighter]

It's be interesting if they showed a Smash Bros. Wii U bundled with a Gamecube-styled Wii U controller.

 

[Rockaphin]

I've cut some characters from my E3 prediction list. No, that doesn't mean I don't think they're possible anymore, it only means they're gonna be revealed when the game comes out and we have the players guide to tell. Here's my list.

Krystal
Shadow
Palutena
PacMan
Ridley
Paper Mario

Veteran fighters
Wario
Ness
Ganondorf
Jigglypuff

I hope you're right
I wouldn't mind the others you mentioned either. Shadow is a little push though because I personally didn't care for him after Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.

 

[EmceeEspio]

I wouldn't be TOO shocked to see another sonic rep, but definitely not expecting it.

Speaking of which, who else thinks that the Chaotix should be in Sonic Boom and that the Boom canon is a perfect way to bring back Fang and Mighty?

I just hope they bring back Shadow and Rouge to Sonic Boom, but the Chaotix would be good too

Ni-No-Kuni: The Wrath of the White Witch, was co-created by Ghibli. If Nintendo plays their cards right, I could see them reaching out to more third-parties to help with big IPs, like with Hyrule Warriors.

 

[Hulk Smash-bros]

Personally i hope we see Isaac from golden sun as a playable character. he was an assist trophy last game but he has so much potential as far as movesets.
Before a few days ago this was just a fanboys hope and didnt really think was possible but now that omega ruby and alpha sapphire are announced i would love to see sceptile as a playable character in smash! he would fill that grass type hole in the pokemon roster with greninja and charizard and premote the hoenn remakes very nicely. and no i dont think blaziken would be in because hes more popular... screw that thing! would pretty much just be cap falcon as a pokemon character.

That will happen..as long as we get no Mewtwo.

 

[Pazzo.]

Totally Relevant Song.

 

[*The Sensus Crustulum*]

So less than a month, huh? Man, each day close to E3 feels like a millennium.
I'm starting to warm up to the 2nd Sonic Character idea but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Also Boom is a perfect way to revive dead characters, like Shadow, Blaze.
And give them actual backstories *cough*Silver*cough*

maybe i'm just being greedy but i want sonic adventure 3 for some reason

 

[kackamee]

I dont know why, but im starting to feel like Sceptile is a bit too predictable and he might not make it in. Just a feeling though.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Too predictable? I don't think Sakurai choses characters based on how predictable they are or aren't. We never would've had Mega Man, Sonic, Diddy Kong or Lucario that way.

 

[Pazzo.]

What I'd love to be shown, but will probably never happen: Mother 4.

 

[Hulk Smash-bros]

i dont think its too predictable. honestly i hope we dont see pac man as a character... to be honest his 3d form is very derpy looking and pretty much everyone knows pac man as his old game where hes just a yellow circle with a mouth. but i do think he should be an assist trophy! somone else who i think should make it in is lloyd irving from tales of symphonia. namco is a huge part of the game soo. and he can be the first duel wielding sword user

 

[ChunkyBeef]

Good news, it's already in development.

Unfortunately, it's not Nintendo/Itoi working on it, but it's still shaping up nicely.

OMG i've never played any of the games but this makes me wanna also, didn't itoi say he was done with the series?

I agree for the most part, but the characters you listed are mostly shoe-ins. The game is about Nintendo all-star characters coming together in a fighting game and when I think of the Nintendo all-stars, all the really big names are in the game already (save for some like Toad, Ridley, Bowser Jr. IMO), so I think Sakurai is going for more unconventional picks, especially this time around.

Some of the more unpredictable characters like Shiek, Toon Link, Pkmn Trainer, Snake and ROB, in my opinion, were strange picks to add and a bit unpredictable. I think Sceptile fits under the category of being a bit "too predictable" now that we are somewhat expecting a Grass starter.

It's just a hunch, but I feel like it may just be too easy and it isn't Sakurai's style, but I do hope I'm wrong.

EDIT: Although, Sceptile could just be an unlockable and unannounced until the 3DS version releases.

Although toon link was pretty predictable since he's really just a redesigned young link and even then if we knew charizard was alone greninja would've been a shoe-in too

 

[ChunkyBeef]

Yeah, he is done with the series. Mother 4 is a fanmade game.

Fan games =/= canon

I'm aware. I already said that. Canon or no, it's still a game made by Mother fans for Mother fans, so I suspect the final product should be extraordinary.

Yeah I'm just wondering if that was true or not, but I guess it is

Of course, I forgot to mention this. :faceplam:

I've known about this for a while. I'm actually really excited for this, it seems like a worthy successor to the original games. The EarthBound documentary will be cool too!

 

[Aurane]

maybe i'm just being greedy but i want sonic adventure 3 for some reason

I just want the Chao to return with multiplayer, more mini games, more Chao types (ALEX KIDD CHAO BBY)...

You think you're greedy... I want rivalry of Chao vs Pokemon to commence to prove Digimon will forever be ****.

 

[kackamee]

I dont know of many people who predicted young link would return in the form of took link. And we didnt know Charizard would be alone. My point is that Sakurais decisions make sense once announced, but before they are, many of them seem hard to predict. And Sceptile seems a bit too easy now.

 

[TheMasterDS]

Feeling pretty confident about K Rool. Possibly Dixie as well/if not. Other than that I'd expect to see Palutena, a curve ball (Marshal?) and a 3rd party character. Some more returning fighters will probably show up. Not Mewtwo though.

 

[Meelow]

Can't believe E3 is so Soon.

 

[Morbi]

Can't believe E3 is so Soon.

We are one February away! I can believe that E3 is so soon, I can't believe that I have been a member for almost an entire year though.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

We are one February away! I can believe that E3 is so soon, I can't believe that I have been a member for almost an entire year though.

You've certainly made enough posts for 5... and given enough likes for 70. And I just realized, I've nearly been here two years. Man the time flew.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Can't believe E3 is so Soon.

Its not. You're in the twilight zone.

Geno revealed for Smash and Pac-Man for Mario Kart? What about Master Chief replaces Link in the Legend of Zelda (I keed).

 

[Wonks]

Lol! No, you're right--that is pretty far-fetched. My E3 predictions are always a combination of 1. What I think will happen, 2. What I want to happen, and 3. Would be interesting "if" this happened.

I don't think SMRPG2 is that farfetched. After all, Squenix is desperate for anything that'll make them a profit, and Mario RPG games always sell well.

 

[soviet prince]

my unlikely predictions paleutuna, mii, pacman

 

[Swift Fox]

F-Zero U is announced yet no Star Fox? Are you kidding me?

 

[Koopaul]

F-Zero has had to wait even longer than Star Fox.

 

[Opelucid]

E3 is in less than 30 days? Wow I remember the game being mentioned back in 2011.

 

[TheAnvil]

There's not really a market for F-Zero anymore. Nintendo has Mario Kart, it doesn't really need a second first party racing game.
