Who will win E3 and why?

Those are your core titles. Now I see where you are confused. This is along the lines of what I consider core franchises Mario, Zelda, Pilotwings, Starfox, Mariokart, WaveRace, and Donkey Kong. Basically series that have been around for a few generation, and are just plain standard. Not to mention Nintendo hasn't boned up on these to offset the loss or not only Rare but a few key third parties that propped the console up over the previous two generations.

I am not belittling Mario Party, Pokemon, Metroid, or Fire Emblem. They are good second string series as far as the console is concerned. Though they are not the massive titles the console is lacking. Where are the mega hit core games. You have Mario, Mariokart, and Brawl. You cannot include Zelda, because that is a port. Which is disappointing, because Nintendo promised to deliver two titles each generation, and this generation they will be lucky to have one.

So few standard bearers, no covering the difference through second parties, or major third party exclusives. With only a handful of the lightweights. It is preposterous. Even more so with them being spaced well apart leaving huge freaking gaps in the lineup. As I said I have more for the cube. Worse yet most of these games only got a modest upgrade, and I got most of my cube games in the first eighteen months the console was on the market.

This is a huge problem. Yes Nintendo needs to man up, and get the big guns in there. They also probably need a strong second party developer to cover the slack.
