I'd like to go on record with my prediction before the conference

First, there's NO WAY they will f*ck up like they did at E3--they were noticeably shocked and caught off-guard with all the backlash, and there was MAJOR damage control afterwards.  With that in mind, the only casual game that will be there is Wii Music.   WIN!

Then, they'll obviously show Animal Crossing (a very popular game on both sides)WIN!

Reggie alluded to knowing exactly what the storage solution would be, meaning it's hammered out.  It WILL be announced tomorrow. WIN!

 

Release dates for Disaster, Fatal Frame, and Pokemon Platinum (NA/Europe) wouldn't be announced at the Japanese conference

 

There will be EITHER a video of Pikmin or Star Fox Half-win?  No video, but Pikmin is being remade for Wii with enhancements

One new IP from Nintendo will be announced WIN!

Publisher announced for The Conduit This is a game that appeals to North America, so it'll happen tomorrow

Demos for The Conduit, Fatal Frame, and Disaster See above

Something from Square Enix (not necessarily Kingdom Hearts, but they've stated their dedication to all platforms, and they don't have anything big announced for Wii) FALSE!

If Square doesn't have a big game announcement to close the event out, there will be a teaser for EITHER Mario or Motion-plus-enhanced Zelda.  FALSE!

 

Also, I'd say there's a 50% chance of the new DS model being announced.  FATALITY!

 

So, six out of my eight predictions for this conference came true.  Awesome!
