Everything except what has been bolded. If this does happen then yay but I doubt it.


It has been stated that we'll hear more Animal Crossing news in 2015 and it has been semi-confirmed that new Metroid games are in development. Also, Retro has been working on a new game for quite a while, so why not?

Because I like my expectations low, that's why :)

I want a live event. They give us digital events year-round; make E3 special.

Then they just need to cover three games to make me happy.

The Legend of Zelda
Star Fox
Metroid (Hopefully a reboot to right the course of the series after Other M)

Same event setup as last year, Digital Event and Treehouse
Zelda ofcourse
Star Fox ofcourse
Western Xenoblade details(august)
Mario Maker
Metroid for 3DS
New 3D Mario announced
Something new
Something unexpected with 3rd party


Agree with most of this except for New 3D Mario. I think at this point if they have a new game in the works, they might as well punt it to be a lead for a new console.

I will add:
Fatal Frame V worldwide this Halloween.
Devil's Third stuffs.
More Wii ports to Wii U eshop or n3DS ports. Some GameCube ports as well.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Sure things (100% chance of at least appearing in some form):

1. Zelda U, subtitle revealed, release date revealed in the holiday 2015 timeframe, trailer, possibly a playable demo

2. Star Fox U with finalized title, trailer, release date before Zelda, probably late fall

3. Xenoblade Chronicles X, final trailer, playable, release date before Star Fox, probably late summer to early fall

4. Yoshi's Wooly World, anything not revealed in Spring directs revealed now, playable, release date early to mid summer

5. Mario Maker, ditto to Yoshi

6. Project Guard and Project Giant Robot, more details, release date and playable if small titles

7. Fire Emblem: If, more details, possibly dated for early 2016 to spring 2016 in the west

 

Probable things (<100%, >66% chance of appearing):

1. Devil's Third, new trailer, new details, possibly a release window, unlikely but not impossibly a release date and demo

2. New mainline Pokemon, X2/Y2 or Z, first trailer, maybe some release details, maybe this year

3. Rodea, western release date, or at least a window

4. Some sort of New 3DS exclusive, hard to say what

5. Multiple uses of amiibo, possibly new figures or a new series (Zelda series, if Nintendo wants to shut up and take my rupees)

6. A spinoff of a major first party IP

 

Maybes (<66%, >33%, or hard to place otherwise)

1. Metroid 3DS, trailer, release window summer 2016

2. Metroid U, teaser, release window holiday 2016

3. Retro's latest project (maybe it's Metroid U?)

4. Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei, either shown in some fashion this E3 or cancellation announcement by the end of the year

5. Animal Crossing U, depending on how far along it is (another good candidate for a new amiibo series)

6. Pokken Wii U, 2016 release

7. Project Treasure, if Bamco is ready to talk

8. Splatoon DLC, unless the game somehow isn't out yet in which case 100% chance of all details revealed and playable demo

 

Long Shots (<33%, >0%)

1. F-Zero, in some form, maybe even a new game

2. Earthbound/Mother IP finally utilized, probable just western VC localizations at best, though maybe some kind of localized collection

3. Paper Mario U announced (I see this happening next year if at all, though I do think it will happen then)

4. Fatal Frame localization

5. Bravely Second details (I see this waiting until later this year)

6. New 3D console Mario, of the "star hunting" variety

7. Long awaited 3DS localizations like Dragon Quest

 

That should be about 75% of the show, plus some indie and 3rd party reels. It'll be a digital event, with a smaller press release sort of event to use that theater they reserved for 299 people. That theater may be used to show off Zelda (crosses fingers).

1. New loyalty program to replace club Nintendo. Combines XBox-esque achievements, but converts them to coins. Works with a (finally) unified account system.

2. Something from EAD Tokyo 1 for god's sake. Do you realize that the last full game they developed was Mario Galaxy?

3. Pokemon Z. Pokemon has quietly become annual.

4. Smash Bros DLC.

5. QOL stuff.

6. Skylandersish Amiibo game. Somewhere between Skylanders and Animal Crossing.

7. Teaser for next DS system.


Wait what? If so my mind is blown! I thought they made Galaxy 2 and 3D World!


Nintendo EAD Tokyo has two teams.  EAD Tokyo 1 and EAD Tokyo 2.  EAD Tokyo made the incredibly underrated DK Jungle Beat, then went on to develop Mario Galaxy.  EAD Tokyo 2 handled Galaxy 2, 3D World, Captain Toad, and Land.

Since developing Galaxy, EAD Tokyo 1 worked with Greezo on the remakes for Majora's Mask and Ocarina of time, although I doubt their input could have been that great since the game runs on essentially the same engine as the N64 game.  So, I dunno what they're up to.



Nintendo does have a conference stage booked for this year's E3, so they may do a small presentation at E3, alongside their digital E3 event.

As for already announced games, any that haven't been released by E3 will likely get updates. Major focus will be on Zelda and Starfox are the obvious ones confirmed already to have a presence there.
I think we will see a new mainline 3D Mario game announced, Metroid, F-Zero or Waverace announced with gameplay.
Some new IPs handled like Splatoon.

Perhaps Bayonetta 3 will be unveiled.



Probably some Starfox gameplay, Zelda U gameplay, more XCX, and more new IPs, but other than that, I've got nothing.
