Topic: E3 2014 Megathread.

[Police Girl]

So yeah E3's coming up soon (June 9th-12th). Figured its time for a thread.

The major press conferences are on June 9th, with Nintendo forgoing that for a Direct on the 10th much like last year, hopefully they'll not [tornado fang] the streaming up so much again.

E3 Event Schedule

(All times are Pacific Time Zone and Tentative.)
Microsoft's conference is June 9th at 9:30 AM.
Sony's is June 9th at 6PM.
Nintendo Direct is June 10th at 9AM.

Apparently IGN's got a list of what's going down for the entire show. Which is in the spoiler underneath because its a long list that mostly consists of 'Secret E3 Game'.

EA:

Ubisoft:

Sony:

Nintendo:
-Smash 3DS planned for October 3rd, 2014. Wii U still set for the holidays, Palutena and Mii fighters (In Brawler, Sworduser and Gunner varieties) revealed. Maybe Dark Pit as well, but that might've just been a stinger
-New Star Fox in development. Still a ways off.
-Yarn Yoshi is now Yoshi's Wooly World, set for 2015.
-Bayonetta 2 comes with an enhanced port of Bayonetta 1, out in the fall.
-X is now Xenoblade Chronicles X (Real creative name there.), 2015.
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse shown off, basically a sequel to Canvas Curse.
-Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, a full game based off of the Captain Toad levels in Super Mario 3D World, announced for Holiday 2015.
-Some more footage for Pokemon ORAS. But we already knew these games were coming.
-Zelda Wii U shown off, no title, 2015 is the broad date, planned for more open world exploration. Link's not wearing Green in the video we saw.
-Hyrule Warriors is coming out in September. Zelda and Midna added to the roster.
-Splatoon, a team-based shooter type game revolving around paint and squids, is planned for 2015.
-Amiibo, the NFC figures that were mentioned a while back and were rumored for use in Smash Bros., will indeed launch with Smash Bros. 4 Wii U that allow for storing custom movesets and NPC characters to fight. Are also planned for use in other games later on (Mario Kart 8 was mentioned.)
-Mario Maker, a Mario level creation/editor tool/game, is scheduled for the Wii U in 2015. Game allows usage of either NES Super Mario Bros tiles and New Super Mario Bros. U tiles.

Leaked Nintendo document. Needless to say, take it with a huge grain of salt.

[Protoman Blues]

Leaked Nintendo document. Needless to say, take it with a huge grain of salt.

If true, I'm already very happy by a particular item on that list!

[Phi]

I'm very hyped for a number of them, but I think I know what you're referring to.

[Fxeni]

I'll give you one guess as to which one I hope is true

Also, if you're leaking a document... why would you show your hands?

[Phi]

The Legend of Zelda: Unbound King would be the obvious guess.

As for me, I'm equally excited for both that and SMT X Fire Emblem.

[Mirby]

dat dragon quest 7

[Dr. Wily II]

Pokemon is pretty much it for me.

and better be more than drought and drizzle

[Protoman Blues]

Star Fox, for me.

[Phi]

Could've sworn it was the brand-spanking new Zelda title. You being a huge fan and all.

[Protoman Blues]

I love Zelda, but I have no doubt that I will see a new Zelda game.

I haven't played a new Star Fox game in forever.

[Phi]

Haha, yeah fair enough.

[Rin]

I wonder which of the Big Three will embarass itself the most this time around.

[Phi]

My money is on Microsoft... as is everyone else's money.

[Protoman Blues]

I'm curious to see what direction Microsoft goes in.

[Phi]

But the ride never ends. :/

[Mirby]

I'm curious to see what direction Microsoft goes in.

Downhill fast would be my guess.

[Fxeni]

Star Fox, for me.

That's the one!

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

I don't see this posted anywhere, or i'm very blind.

But alas, WITCHER 3, HYPE MY BODY!!!

So much~

[Police Girl]

Leaked Nintendo document. Needless to say, take it with a huge grain of salt.

I'm going to bet its a fraudulent thing.
Here's another thing that might be fraudulent, but if its legit probably invalidates that image.


Oh, and thanks for fixing up the OP. Its way better now.

[Mirby]

Mario Maker might be cool, but someone pointed out that the hand is identical to one in promo images for Nintendo Land's Balloon Trip Breeze.


The paper seems like it might be more legit than the Mario Maker thing...

[Police Girl]

I'd love to know whatever the hell 'Nintendo U' is then.

And Wii U HD games? Sunshine I could see since they'd need to change the controls for it to work anyway seeing as it used the analog triggers on the Gamecube. But Wave Race not so much.

[Police Girl]

So Sony and Microsoft's conferences are tomorrow.

Who's going to be available to grab the scoop?

[Phi]

I have to leave out early morning, but hopefully I'll be back before the conferences start. No definite promises though.

[Police Girl]

Since Sony's is 6PM Pacific (9PM for eastern) I might be able to catch that one.

If anybody wants to cover Erractic Assholes and Ubisoft's conferences be my guest. They're not really that important compared to the console companies but whatever maybe they'll have something interesting.
