Why do you try so hard to get yourself hyped for everything soriku?? Just let things happen, sometimes it's infuriating to see people hype everything and build expectations in others for things that won't happen.

E3 couldnt come soon enough, the unrealistic expectations are getting out of control very rapidly.

It's also possible that they just have a lot of stuff they want to concentrate on, and more than usual, so they want to spread it out.

I'm leaning more toward that, myself.

Nintendo please just put on a good E3 show.

Given that nothing in Japan is really known for Wii in the fall, I would expect the Japan show to focus on the fall for retailers. Its probably release dates for Wii Sports Resort, Pikmin 3, Samuari Warriors 3, alot of hype for the Pokemon remakes, Dragon Quest IX, and then more information on those infamous 'supplementary earnings games' Kirby. Line Attack Heroes. Cosmic Walker. Takt of Magic bombed, but I still don't think all of those games will only do 4k openings.

They anticipated software shipments of 400m units in the year ending March 2010 for Wii & DS, 26m Wii, and 30m DS. To reach that, so far we have only the following known (100% confirmed) million sellers for the year off the top of my head (read: estimated):

Wii:

Cooking Mama 3 1m

EA Active 3m?

Beatles Rockband 1.5m

Guitar Hero 5 2m

DJ Hero 1.5m

Tiger Woods 2010 1.5m

Punch Out 1.25m

Wii Sports Resort 15m

Monster Hunter 3 2m

Red Steel 2 2m

Rabbits Go Home 1.5m

Sonic Racing 1m

Wii Fit 7m

Wii Play 5m

Mario Kart Wii 2.5m

Animal Crossing 1.5m

Shaun White 2  1.5m

Tony Hawk Revamp 1.75m

Resident Evil : DC  1.5m

Wii Fit Plus 10m

Mario & Sonic at the Winter Games 4m

Conduit 1m?

Grand Slam Tennis 1m?

Dead Space Wii 1m?

DS:

Zelda: Spirt Tracks 4m

Dragon Quest IX 4m

Kingdom Hearts DS 1.5m

Pokemon remakes 5m

Guitar Hero 1.5m

GTA DS: 1.5m

Mario & Sonic Winter Games 2m

NSMB - 2m

MKDS - 2.5m

Animal Crossing DS - 1.5m

Nintendogs - 2m

Drawn to Life 2 - 1m

I would think 5-10 DS projects will be announced that could do 1m units in the year, and another 5-10 Wii projects as well given the projections Nintendo made for software and hardware.

you really think WSR can do 15 million and red steel 2 can do 2 million?

im not sure we will get 5-10 more wii projects that could do 1million, depends what comes from third partys at E3 i guess although i think spyborgs has a shot at being a million seller.

from nintendo we will probably get kirby and pikmin as million sellers and then wii fit plus and a console pokemon as titles which will hit 3 milion


i still dont see why you put so muhc faith in cosmic walker, line attack heroes, dynamic slash ect. to me these are just small third party offerings that nintendo has helped publish in japan. there not going to get major marketing (from what weve seen so far anyway)

Maybe this is why Shiggy wasn't listed for E3? He'll stay behind for the lesser event while Iwata goes to cover the greater event?

No Miyamoto will be there. He's doing a private press conference apparently which is why people are assuming he will be on stage anyway.

Maybe we'll get a Fire Emblem.

One may hope.

You're perhaps the ONLY one hoping for such a thing  (I kid, I kid) But your other thread about the difficulty of FE (in addition to Brawls representation of the series) has stirred some interest for me to look into the franchise.
