That is pretty crazy though - getting three huge franchises within the same year?

I think one of them at least will be released this year while the other two - one in the beginning and one at the end of next year.

Pikmin 3 will surely pick up a bit for the Wii-U around the late summer/early fall time and possibly a 3D mario or SSB4 for this late fall/early winter. (Just guessing ;p).

I can see SSB4 being released in time for christmas/BF kinda like how Melee was released.

 

 

No way Smash Bros. comes out this year. Nintendo doesn't rush things just to get them out. If they did, they would have had games out during the first half of 2013. That is doubly true for Smash Bros. I seriously doubt there will be any playable version of the game this year even, just pics, if we're lucky MAYBE some kind of promo video. They literally just started development at some point late last year, as far as I recall.

 

 

As for 3D Mario and Mario Kart, I think there's a chance we could get both this year, but then again.

I think we will see a situation like we did with Wii where all 3 release within 6 months of each other. Mario Kart this holiday, 3D Mario Q1 2014, Smash Q2 2014. Also Smash got started as soon as Kid Icarus was finished which was early 2012 so its been in development for over a year. I think a trailer is def doable for E3.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I still have paranoid nightmares that Retro's game is Mario Kart...

Don't even joke about that. It's not funny...

Agreed, not even funny...

I am enjoying Nintendos new direction by having the directs. Seems like we get a new exclusive with each one they have. Plus with them showing off/announcing games this early, they must have something really big in store for E3.


This... I have high expectations for the E3 ND. Even without showing any new (at least that we know) smash, X, mario kart, 3d mario, yarn yoshi and  retro's game would be awesome... I also very positive we are going to see SMTxFE!

Yes, yes please! I need to know more about this game!

Are we still waiting for this? I would think that Nintendo would have one today to counter the Microsoft news, .like sony is doing on Twitter.

Yeah, we are. Probably not until the end of the month (Nintendo's "counter" was last week with the other Direct).

Oh ok. you are just waaay ahead of the curve.Good job.

 

Well, that "counter" was a poor attempt then.

I don't think Nintendo are childish enough to "counter" another announcement. Leave that to Sony, EA etc.

how is it childish?  It's called respecting your opponent enough to try to counter their news with your own.  Not everyone has to opperate in a vaccum.

Yeah I know, it was a light joke really because I imagine both Nintendo and Sony will be on damage control in a few hours

if by "incoming" you mean roughly 3 weeks away lol



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

I can´t wait !! I put roughly 60 hours in 3D Land (seriously, don´t ask me why, but I kept replaying the game over and over again, what a fantastic game)
EAD Tokyo has been working on the game for a long time now, It will be great !
