I'm certain they will do something interesting on the show floor, then. Maybe they'll do both this year.
I think that it will be trailers and all the big info/ game announcements in the main presentation, and then more in depth stuff outside of it, where, using Smash Bros as an example, they'll go into new moves, modes, features etc.

Their 2013 presentation was 41 minutes long. I'm hoping for about an hour - 30 minutes on each console seems reasonable.

As in, a two hour presentation? I dunno about that...

It would be great, but, a little excessive.

I mean 30 minutes on each, so a one hour presentation. 2 hours would be absurd!
Oh. Never mind. I assumed the dash between "an hour" and "thirty minutes" indicated it was a range of time.

I think that may be a bit too large as well, but then again, we've got Zelda and Smash Bros announcements, oh my.

Hmm I still don't get the treehouse. It's with streaming I think. I've been trying to find where Nintendo will host it and/or all E3 event streams like the Invitational. Is the website of the stream already out, if so, I would like a link (seriously don't want to miss a second of it).

I totally called that.
1. Saw this like 18 hours ago, lol.
2. Hype.
3. Mango, Armada, Ken, Ally, and Isai 100% need to enter the E3 tournament. Dr. PP, HBox, HugS, superboomfan and a lot of Brawl players I don't know because I don't follow Brawl [people who do, give me names!] would are also top tier entrant ideas. Oh, and D1 and Prog need to be on commentary. That's a must.
4. Why is no one speculating on who will be involved/entering the E3 Smash WiiU tournament=??? IT'S GONNA BE HYPED GUYS!!!

I hope CRS.HungryBox and Mew2King will be there. Everyone else would be cool too, but these two will be the ones who can actually use their two minutes or so with the game to figure out stuff about the engine.

Someone, tell me. In that video, when Real Reggie walks in on Fils-A-Mech, what does Fils-A-Mech say? I can't make it out. D:

Reminds me of when Gimpyfish previewed the Brawl demo. If it is anything like that, it'll be sweet. At this point I don't care who dives into the engine as long as they are willing to share it with us afterwards.

Seems like a good thread to turn into a general thread in the new forum. Moved and sticky-ed.

Well, with that we're probably gonna get a LOT more pro's putting in their commentary, so I expect even more

Homeless stay around plz.

I'm really hoping they do a lot of Smash coverage. I think at this point they need to play all their A-Cards. B-Cards won't work since they're not on stage. This *has* to be at least at the scale of E3 2013.

Don't worry friend, I have no intention on leaving anytime soon.

And I agree with you in terms of presentation. I believe there was a good strong reason Nintendo decided to focus on Smash in terms of advertising E3. June will be a great month to be a smash bro.

Glad to hear that, and glad you're back. That probable character roster will be updated soon; your work lives on in spirit.

Back to keeping on-topic: I'm not saying they have to reveal everything either. Leave some of the C and B cards (In terms of what people will care about) for when the game releases, but all the A cards need to be played. This is their chance to really sell Smash 4.

I'm sure every single remaining starter vet will be announced. Like, starters are always announced. And E3 2013 got 8 vets [okay, of course, otherwise only Mega Man, Villager, and WFT would be there, but still, it shows they can do that.]

My predictions on who will be revealed at E3 (Don't see the hype for Ridley, I still think he's a boss character)

Bomberman (He better make it in)
Klonoa or Pacman(I'd prefer Klonoa)
Some Fire emblem character that rhymes with "We like"
Ness
Captain Falcon or Ganondorf
Wario
Bowser Jr.
Some lesser known enemy from a popular game (Waddle Dee, Hammer bro, etc)
TOTALLY METAKNIGHT FOR A FACT (even though I don't like him, I want to see his nerfs in place for the top lels)
Ice Climbers
If the Sega partnership comes to play, maybe Tails? (I want him in, he's much more important and classic than shadow to me)
Jiggly Puff
Mii

I updated the OP to accommodate the new information. Can anyone get me the exact times of all the currently announced events to complete it?

I'm not entirely sure what new characters should show up. I guess I can still hold out hope for the characters I like, but there's not much else to say on that matter. But I'd like to think that Wario, Meta-Knight, Falco, Captain Falcon and maybe Ganondorf will be shown off soon. This should be an interesting E3 either way.

I have a feeling that not too many characters will be revealed. I think we'll just be seeing more gameplay of what we already know as opposed to more content.

Above all else, I'd like to know if this is the starting roster or not. I know that most think it is, but it doesn't have to be. Spoiling the unlockables without a heads up would be awful but you never know...

Just some confirmation for peace of mind will be enough for me. It'll get us hyped as well.

We should get like, 3 characters to match up last year. And that would suck.[referring to no more content thing]
Also, I doubt Luigi, Lucario, Marth, Toon Link, etc are starters.
And since tons of vets are still left to announce, this is the only place to do that, cause 3DS version will come out soon.
I agree that most unlockables should be secret, but they've already revealed some it seems.

(Sorry Im a lil late!) Ive never played Xenoblade or seen any gameplay or anything, but Shulk seems like a really safe bet to me with the love he gets around the world. I mean...with the huge demand for Xenoblade from the states and Sakurai's apparent love for the series Shulk seems garunteed. I don't expect to see him at E3 though, I expect him to be unlockable.

Does anybody think with the way nintendo has gone all out with information on mk8 that may do the same with smash? I didn't think they would, but seeing what appears to be everything in mk8 before launch is something nintendo has never done, so I'm thinking similar could happen here. They are trying to move games and systems, so going all out with info beforehand could b apart of the e3 strategy.

Who do I excpect? Well, funny you should ask.

CHARACTERS
--Newcomers
•Palutena
•Any remaining third parties (Snake, Layton, here are your chances!)
•A Platinum character if the buyout is true, probably Wonder Red or Bayonetta
•Miis because since casuals
•Mewtwo, K Rool, Ridley. Da Villains. (Smash could go for some fun Baddies)
--Veterans
•Captain Falcon
•Ness and/or Lucas
•Hopefully revamped Ganondorf
•Snake (Assuming he's back)

But Platinum doesn't want to be bought out- they want to be second party, not first

Since nintendo just gave their plan for e3, IT'S PREDICTION TIME!!!

At least one trailer announcing at least one newcomer. This is my expectation and it would be very surprising that it doesn't happen.

For veterans, a lot of choice so hight possibility of seeing multiple one but at least one and I think it will be mew two (at least one is expectation, mew two and more is speculation).

Now this is what I expect what I hope and is possible is:

Newcomer
(one or all of the first 2 announced would make my day)

Paper mario (no biais here the James Anderson leak has a hight chance to talk about a paper mario game but if it's the case, the game would have been in development for at least a year and a half. Imagine how fitting it would be to announce the game + characters and all rep at the same time. btw, the Rosalina trailer was a merge between ssb4 and mk8 I think it could happen there.)
Ridley (if he ever does that, Sakurai is the best troll EVER)
Palutena (why she hasn't been announced already?)
Chrom

Veteran
(at least 2 of them because really, we need more veteran announcement)

Wario (same as palutena)
Captain falcon (hype enough for e3)
Ness (this one I'm wondering why he was not announced)
Ganondorf (please declone him)
ice climbers

Expected new info

More on customization (this one is a given)
Connectivity between systems (same)
new adventure mode on wiiu (melee please)

Outside of smash

Zelda wiiu (a trailer with reveal of ganondorf would be fitting)
paper mario game (said why earlier)
new metroid prime like by retro (I wish…)

My minimum to be happy is one newcomer (which will happen).

Outside of Smash, I also have these E3 expectations.

Confirmation of a Possible Majoras Mask remake

More info about Sonic Boom (Nintendo Exclusive may be a sign of something, just not for Smash)

Future of Metroid

New StarFox game

And news about the Zelda game that's being teased for Wii U

Sonic Boom being an exclusive is a sign of nothing - it's a legal right of Nintendo's. The next Sonic game HAD to be an exclusive to fulfill Sega's three-game exclusive deal with Nintendo.

I know that, but they've had Nintendo exclusive Sonic games even before the deal was made. Quit making such a big deal about it!!

I'm surprised I haven't seen more Shadow supporters lately, with him not being shown as an assist trophy yet you'd think people would say he has a good chance. I mean people still say Ridley has a good chance after he was teased as a stage boss..

...I wasn't. I was correcting you on your perceived significance of Sonic Boom as an exclusive. Calm down.
Don't try to turn this around on me, I don't deserve ANY grief for what I believe, nobody does. The only reason I scolded you is because your tone made me think you made the hasty assumption that I knew nothing of the 3 game deal in the first place. The deal wasn't made until last summer, but there were still some Nintendo Exclusive games before that. I have at my house one of said games.
