Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo E3 Predictions

From time to time I enjoy reading or listening to other peoples E3 predictions.

In a way, its fun to hear/read the community's sense of curiosity of the future expressed through those hopes, dreams, imagination, and speculation of E3 announcments to soon be made.

Here are a few I found on Youtube

Are there any other people's E3 2017 predictions that you would like to share?

Is there any of your own E3 2017 predictions that you would like to share?

I don't deal in predictions because Nintendo marches to the beat of their own drum. But these are things I'd be happy to see:

Metroid Prime 4 and Metroid 5 - simultaneous release
A new 2D Mario game that's NOT NSMB or Mario Maker
A new non-Mario 3D platformer
More info and/or release date for Project Octopath
New 2D Castlevania exclusive to the Switch
Star Tropics 3
More Sunsoft sequels/reboots ala Blaster Master Zero
Probably never gonna happen, but a FromSoft-exclusive game for the Switch would be neat-o
MOAR JRPGS!



Prediction:

Main game: Super Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade chronicles 2 trailer + delay
Zelda: BOTW DLC story trailer
Splatoon 2
Fire emblem warriors
Skyrim - Release date
CoD Release Date
Pikmin 4
Retro studios project - release next year
Super Smash Bros for Switch (the one more thing at the end)



Around the Network

My Predictions:

 

Switch

  • Splatoon 2 will be hyped up, seeing how it's a July release. It will be playable, have a Global Testfire, and a new mode will be revealed.
  • The Mario/Rabbids crossover will be touted as an example of third party support of the Switch.
  • Other 3rd party games will include Sonic Forces, Skyrim, LEGO, FIFA, Rayman, and the next Tales game. 
  • Super Mario Odyssey won't have any groundbreaking new elements shown, but will still take center stage, look excellent, and be a Holiday release.
  • Game Freak's new Pokemon game for Switch will be announced, but not shown in depth.
  • Retro's next big game will be announced, but it won't be Metroid or DK.
  • Xenoblade 2, Shin Megami Tensei, and Fire Emblem Switch won't show up.
  • At least one port of a Wii U game.

3DS

  • The new Kirby game with a multiplayer emphasis will be shown, due for a Fall release.
  • Detective Pikachu will be get a Western release announced a few days after E3.
  • Nintendo will localize the 3DS version of Dragon  Quest X1.
  • Hey Pikmin and Ever Oasis will be shown, but will attract little interest.
  • It's not dead!

Etc

  • Fire Emblem Warriors will be a Q3 title, possibly August in Japan and September elsewhere.
  • Mario Party for Switch is inevitable, but probably won't be mentioned.


Love and tolerate.
