Too bad I already posted it, huh?

[Jericho]

I really need to stop posting half asleep. KG only posted the menacing version earlier on in the thread.

EDIT - OH [tornado fang] YOU!

I'm expecting everything except the last part.

I can actually see all of this happening. I did like the breakdown I saw over on GAF though:

I do think that this E3 has the potential to be Nintendo's best in years. The fact that it's TWO hours long already impresses me since Nintendo has NEVER done an E3 press conference that long. Remember in E3 2004, Nintendo managed to show trailers of MP2, Star Fox, RE 4, introduced the DS, had a few montage trailers for GC and GBA, had really early Revolution talk, and revealed Zelda in like 50 some minutes.

Meanwhile this year, while Sony and Microsoft are focusing on Kinect and Move for their PC's, Nintendo doesn't need to convince the world anymore. Sure they'll spend some time on Wii Relax or whatever, but even with that I think we'll be shown more output then in the last 2-3 years. Also I think Iwata had a quote earlier this year about how there'll be more core games for the Nintendo fans has already started to come to fruition (with SMG 2, etc.)

The things that i think are no brainers:
Metroid: Other M
S&P 2
Zelda
Epic Mickey (I actually think quite a bit of time's gonna be spent on this game)
3DS (maybe 1/2 hour or so?)
DQ IX
Wii Relax, next casual market plans, other games that take advantage of Wii vitality sensor
Other 3rd party output that they try to convince us is worth playing

Things that I think have a good chance of showing up (but not holding my breath until they do):
Retro's game
Project Sora
Pikmin 3? (I still don't believe this game exists until I see it)
Xenoblade and Last Story

And I also think Nintendo will have a surprise or two hopefully. (DQ X finally shown?)

[Protoman Blues]

Nintendo's gonna Falcon PANCH the screen with a new F-Zero game then Use the Boost to get Through with a new Star Fox game.   

Sony better show me a new ZOE3 game.   

[Mirby]

Star Fox? Is Hideki Kamiya involved? That's his name, right?

[Emiri Landeel]

【E3】ソニー「本日、2つの大型の重大発表をします」と宣言！！

Sony presser; today will reveal 2 big things.
WHAT ARE THEY!?!

TENSO!

[Kieran]

And they're Sly Cooper, so all the better.

Wonder if they'll ever make a new one? Is there room in the story for it? Hmm... should've beaten Sly 2 and played Sly 3...

No, there's no room in the story for it.  The end of the third game ties up all the loose ends and leaves Sly to retire and settle down with Carmelita.  (This is how the game actually -ends;- it's not just an implication.)

[Mirby]

Okay; thanks for letting me know that. Glad to see that they left no room for a sequel. ^_^ Tied it up nicely in the trilogy; good for them.

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

OMG! new trailer to Dust an Elysian Tail!!! 

[Turian]

HOLY CRAP! That's a game?! Looks like a painting come to life!

[Rayl]

Anyone post this? I thought it was the only half decent thing to come out of the MS presentation.

Seeing that guy's elbow getting cut off makes me cringe.

Also this:

[Klavier Gavin]

Best part in that whole trailer. >>

[Dr. Wily II]

Also this:

Always the perfect cut.

The game looks beautiful, and it IS being made by the same guy who did the animation for Jazz Jackrabbit games. But seeing the character just walk forward and battle, I'm kinda worried that if they don't introduce alot of different scenery and varied combat gameplay, this is gonna end up being another Muramasa. Loved that game, but got boring as hell.

[Acid]

Anyone seen this?

[Klavier Gavin]

...God damn.

Hm, nice. Co-op action game with bionicswordmen. Hope it's a bit more fast-paced than it looks, though.

[Acid]

Music is definitely good. Looked like a Strider/Contra mix.

It's by Square Enix.

[Turian]

I will be playing it. It made me think that 2d sidescrollers are making a HUGE comeback. Mega Man just needs to jump in on this and i'm all set.

Mega Man needs to jump on this in a way that's not a 2D revival. =P Maverick Hunter X had a terrific idea, they just need to make it a whole new game, HD, downloadable for PSN and XBLA, and we'll be all set.

I don't disagree there either. Maverick Hunter X is awesome. I meant more the perspective than the graphics. So either sprites or polygons don't matter to me, I just want it with a 2D perspective.
