Nah, that makes a lot of sense infact. I agree with the 343i thing as well; and ofcourse Rare over at MS now (though I'm not sure if they have it in them to make another "excellent" new game). 

Hopefully we will know at E3, anyway.

Oh rare def can xD  Kameo and Viva Pinata was awesome.  They also worked on Killer Instinct (Small team) which turned out great, and Perfect Dark Zero was good too.  It was just when they went KS is what i havent liked -_-  im just not into Kinect only games.  However as for retro i was so happy that they did a good job with DKC.  I love DKC and thankfully i enjoyed Tropcal Freeze.  You know ive always wondered why nintendo doesnt do another 3d DK like DK64

Yeah, Kameo was pretty cool; though I never played Viva Pinata. It's more the Kinect side of things which I don't enjoy, all seems like their creativity has almost been limited which is unfortunate. 

As for the 3D DK, it would be nice to see indeed! Not expecting it anytime soon now they've gone down this 2D route though :/

Well they made Mario 3D World.  I know theyre working on another Mario game as well.  Was talking about that last night with someone and i guess it could be a new 3d mario or possibly MG3, Mario 65, or mario Moon Light (Sunshine) haha xD

Nintendo is absolutely going to show new hardware this year

Coming from the most recent Nintendo Voice Chat podcast...

"We've heard rumors that Nintendo might be showing hardware at E3." - IGN editor Jose Otero

"They're absolutely going to show new hardware this year. No doubt in my mind that something... 'Cause I've heard from multiple people now. I've heard from someone who used to be at Nintendo; I've heard it from somebody on the third-party front." - Peer Schneider

Nice! Though...it'll probably just be the QoL thing :/

The hype for "new hardware" has begun. When it is something non gaming related or nothing at all. The doom will be even more intense. Either way it would be interesting.

The only new thing they're going to reveal at E3 is games using 2 GamePad controllers and a bunch of cool game announcements.

I suspect they might mention when the 3DS gets its eBooks and/or full 3D Movies.(from E3 2K10)

Expect some new features via Firmware update announcements, before the firmware is available. (for 3DS and/or Wii U)

So that means I'll be setting aside the OP to exclusively put up news , previews and more from E3, for your convenience. There's more as well, but you'll have to wait a little to see that No. Sorry. You cannot just turn this thread into everything. There will be a seperate E3 thread. You want this to be the go to tourney thread for everything other than what was made before you made this thread. You want E3, etc. Please do not be over-bearing. We will have a seperate E3 thread and leave it when the hype is over with. No need to have that important event lost in the 1,000's of pages in this thread. These events should be seperate.   If that is not what you mean, then I apologize. But there really should be a seperate thread. Maybe even that countdown thread as well.

Relax Spurge! Remember the plan! As already proven, there is no reasoning with him. We'll just let him do what he wants for now!
