I thought they would, similar to 2008.

In 2008, most Wii games announced at E3 were for Christmas time not 2009 (AC, Wii Music, etc). At the fall conference, they announced Wii games for 2009 (Punch out, Sin and Punishment 2 (for Japan at least), etc).

In 2009, Nintendo announced 2009 (NSMBWii) and 2010 (Other M, Galaxy 2) games at E3. And there was not a fall conference.

This year, the only 2011 Wii games announced at E3 were Zelda and Kirby (for Europe), so I'm expecting a fall conference with some 2011 Wii games announced. What games am I expecting? Pikmin 3, though I said that at the last 2 E3s!

3DS Christmas release, its got to happen.

Why? Because their japanese stock is the lowest its been in 2 years, and theres a 30% drop in DS sales in the US.

Im picking it now.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I think a fall conference is a given. Nintendo showed lots of stuff at this years E3 but they chose to wait with Pikmin 3 and the Vitality Sensor.

A fall conference would be the perfect opportunity to boost the 3DS hype and release som more information about the system and it's games.

It wouls also be the perfect place to show XenoBlade, The Last Story and other titles that weren't big enough for E3. Reginleiv? (Please!!!)

umm Wii Relax? i think we'll finally see the vitality sensor. I dont remember who exactly, but i think miyamoto said that E3 wasnt the place to show it.. so probably Fall conference?

Something i really want though is a big 3rd party announcement.

Well we know the Japanese release date will come September 29th, so the conference itself will probably be around then, early enough to create pre-launch hype but not too early

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Yeah, Miyamoto did say something about not having the Wii Vitality at E3 because it didn't fit the atmosphere of the show, or something along those lines. So who knows, we could see that along with some other 3DS (and maybe Pikmn 3? Maybe?) announcements this fall/September.

Still I wont be getting my hopes up, not this year! I'll just enjoy the 3DS price/date unveil and wont expect anything else this year. Not a thing...
