Iwatas future may be the reason. Maybe Ken Kutaragi may become the new president of Nintendo, nobody knows...

We're going to see an information blowout - a pre-E3 Nintendo Direct and an E3 conference with plenty of Megatons in each.

If it is not because of a big E3 press conference I don't know what I will do...

Can't believe I was so naive to believe there won't be droughts.

Indeed I do. I don't think they will show us anything new that we already don't know. Release dates of games do not count lol.

On a side note He-Man. please do a remake of your show as it hasn't aged that well over the years.

don't get too hyped up. I been crushed over the last few years. Now I expect nothing from them. 

So ifReggie comes out on stage this year it will be mind blowing even if he says nothing lol.

I remember this particular instance. The indies announced a cooperative sale where if you buy one of the games, you get a discount of the others. 

Otherwise, no...if they had planned a direct in the first place, they would have done it. There is no reason to cancel a Direct. They are simply not having them for a few reasons.

I personally think that a large part is that after every direct comes a wave of negative feedback because Nintendo didn't announce Metroid or something unreasonable like that. Cutting down on the amount of Directs and giving game specific directs will temper expectations and make the Directs that do show up be more full of content.

I'm expecting several things:

News of Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, X, SSBU

More information on Yarn Yoshi and SMT x Fire Emblem

News of the first Bayonetta game coming to the Wii U

More GameCube games getting the Wind Waker HD treatment, my money would be on Eternal Darkness HD

More partnerships with indie developers similar to the one they've had with Platinum Games

Zelda U

QoL

Oh noooo, why would they do that...
They obviously have a bigger audience than showing up at E3...

as I said nothing to get excited about. you jus listed everything we already know. I don't need more trailers of the same crap. They need to show that the Wii U is not dead beyond what we already know.
