It's an interesting question considering many among us said they "lost" last year's E3 by focusing so much on Wii Fit (on which they spent about 60% of their presentation). Sure maybe many of us immediately knew it would sell a bajillion copies, but I know i heard plenty of gamers initially griping and complaining that Nintendo lost a lot of respect to them.
If I recall from watching the Keynote streamed online last year, other than the Balance Board and Fitness software, N's big announcements included Mariokart wii announced, Galaxy's & Smash's release date, the Wii Zapper, and--surprisingly--they announced EA's Medal of Honor Heroes 2 as well.
This year I expect the following:
Kid Icarus is a lock (the rumors of this game have been too strong for NOTHING to be shown)
Either Pikman or A.C. or both.
Either Starfox or F-Zero.
A big 3rd party game will be featured--I'm betting on a Factor 5 title...
At least one game (be it one of the above or an as of yet unannounced title) will feature balance board support)
There will of course be some blue ocean talk as well, but none of it will be on the scale that Wii Fit was last year. Wii Music will probably make a showing. As for new casual I.P.s it's a bit harder to predict what they will be from a gamer's p.o.v., but if i had to guess...
Wii Paint FTW.
