I don't think X is going to be a system seller simply because it's name

This isn't the 80's, but Japan still thinks calling something X is cool

We already know Zelda U is in production and have seen a fancy tech demo. That's enough of an "announcement" for the game to be eligible for an appearance. yeah they said it's going to be shown at E3 2014, but they're perfectly capable of changing their minds of that

It's going to be a new character reveal. That character will be Pac-Man. He will be on the classic neon-blue course as his stage. However, the first battle with all four classics, Mega Man, Sonic, Mario, and Pac-Man will be on neutral ground: A Tetris Stage.

The Tech Demo was simply to showcase the Wii Us capabilities, it's not necessarily going to be the art style for the next game. Remember, they said that they were toying around with what kind of art style they wanted to give the next game, which was when they stumpled upon the idea of WW HD.

I checked and there's like 11 world premiers. Reggie's trailer has to be gold to compete with all that mess.

Somewhere... overthinking something

I think that's the worst philosophy to live by. Sure there are things that you just shouldn't "expect" to happen, but that doesn't mean you can't hope for the best. Who cares if you are disappointed in the end, for it is not the result that should be satisfying, but the journey filled with hype.
I don't live by this but I am going to be this way towards something as trivial as a video game trailer.

Still, they've openly talked about Zelda U and made several hints towards it. It's not been "announced" in the sense that we actually know anything about the game, but we still know it exists and we still know it's a decent way into development. An announcement for the next Wii U Zelda title wouldn't be completely out of the blue the same way a game we'd never heard of or known was being made prior to the announcement. It's the difference between "Oh hey, it's that game they've been hinting at all this time" and "Oh wow, they were making that?". Zelda is also one of the few titles that could really make a big impact other than Smash Bros. I'm not saying it's guaranteed to happen, especially since it has been announced for E3 2014, but I definitely wouldn't write it off completely like some others are doing

I understand, but you never know. If it works for something as simple as a game trailer, who's to say people won't start applying it to everything else.

Calling it: It'll be Bayonette 2 or Mario Kart 8. Mario Kart is a party game, Bayonette is dah hardcore. Prefect audiance for either, and unlike Smash there has already been a playable demo for Mario Kart 8 and it comes out sooner then Smash. Hope I'm wrong but that's what I'm betting on.

Let's just enjoy what ever it is. No sense crying over spilt milk. What ever it is, someone will cry over it, even if it is Smash Brothers.

When the final hour comes we can all listen to this

Skull Kid's giving us a lotta mileage.

This has really been blown out of proportions, and I'm usually one to like hype.

But really, as far as I see it's most likely just going to be a ranting old monkey.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze would be extremely disappointing it should be Smash Bros.

What if they show DKC Tropical Freeze and announce a DK character for Smash? It could be Diddy Kong or a newcomer from the franchise.

Anyway, I will keep my expectations low.

Does..Donkey Kong really deserve to be hyped up like this? I'd rather see Zelda.

Wait, isn't that old footage they're using to show off Reggie?
