I want to see some of the Yoshi games (Yoshi's Yarn and Yoshi's New Island). We haven't seen much on either.

Also, Iwata says they are going to fix the disappointing Virtual Console, so let's finally here that GBA is coming to the 3DS and N64/Gamecube to the Wii U.

I second both those requests, especially the Virtual Console. Come on, Nintendo, I'm ready to throw my money at classic Nintendo games. Just add them already.

Iwata will announce that next year is "The Year of Yoshi", because Yoshi has two games out and is in Smash Brothers, Mario Golf, Mario Party (Europe 2014), and Mario Kart 8. Some Yoshi cosplay tomfoolery, mildly amusing but takes up valuable game demonstration time.

Further details and reminders for Zelda, Mario Party (possible release date for Europe), Bravely Default (release date for North America). Further details of Kirby, Mario Golf, Yoshi's New Island, Professor Layton versus Phoenix Wright. Possible release dates, or "please understand this game will take more time, we look forward to sharing more with you closer to release".

Optimistically: Monster Hunter 4 localisation announced for a "Spring" release, Monolith Soft's 3DS title confirmed and dated as "2014". Possibly some eShop stuff, maybe Guild 03.

More details for Wii Sports Club, demonstrations, release dates for new sports to appear in the Club. Further information on Wii Fit U, Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze. Yarn Yoshi details in "Year of Yoshi" section.

Optimistically: More details for Bayonetta 2, Kart 8, Smash Brothers, Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei footage, X.

Absurdly optimistically: Nintendo have new 2014 titles to tease to create more excitement about Wii U in the long-term. Mario Kart 8 dated for March globally.

EDIT: I've bolded the parts I think are actually likely to happen.

Something I desperately want to happen: unified accounts, cross platform Virtual Console, huge improvement in Virtual Console service and a return to the idea that Virtual Console would become the "iTunes of gaming".

They only mention 3DS on Twitter, but the announcement pic on FB has a WiiU.
...although that could just be a standard ND pic for all I know...

Lol, thanks for linking my thread.

No probs, I had previously posted in your thread before this came up. It was fresh on my mind.

What we will get:

I think this will be the closure of year of luigi. Was fun.

"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."
