Nine years ago at E3...

I will look into my crystal ball and fortell the future at E3:

 

 

There will be no Wii u games worth mentioning. There will be SOME, but it'll be some sort of fitness or sports game no one'll remember.

 

They will go into great lengths talking about downloadable content. Unfortunately, none of it will be old Nintendo games.

 

 

Your fortune has been foretold, long live Jombie.

I remember reading about how Aonuma said something about 5 years being too long for a new console Zelda, and said something 2014 or 2015 being the new goal for a Zelda. So MAYBE we'll get something about Zelda WiiU. If not, then probably next year. Though with ALttP2 and Wind Waker HD, there may be, well, Zelda overload if they showed Zelda WiiU (Though personally, I'd be in my glory D:) so who knows.

"Unlike previous years, we will not have a large-scale [E3] presentation directed to everyone in the world. Instead, we are planning several smaller events focusing on software for America. Among these hands-on events will be one for American distributors and another for western media.â€

 

"In the past we invited reporters, investors and analysts, industry partners, such as software publishers, and distributors who attended E3 to our large-scale presentations. We also used them as a communication tool in which we broadcast our presentations on the Internet to reach out to video game fans around the globe. I believe that many are expecting us to host a similar event this year. On the other hand, since we set out on new endeavors such as Nintendo Direct two years ago in October, we have been paying special attention to the fact that different people demand different types of information from us."

"For example, as video game fans are looking for information about games, it seems that they are less interested in sales figures that investors and analysts on the other hand attach much greater importance to, and distribution partners are looking for information on how we are going to market our products in the immediate future," he continued. "At previous financial briefing sessions we announced information about our products, showed videos and even uploaded the recording of these events onto our website, but given that we now have an established method such as Nintendo Direct, we feel that we will be able to deliver our messages more appropriately and effectively by doing so individually based on the various needs of different groups of people."

"At E3 this year, we are not planning to launch new hardware, and our main activity at E3 will be to announce and have people experience our software. Many people are certainly very interested in learning more about the Wii U titles that we are going to announce. We will use E3 as an ideal opportunity to talk in detail mainly about the Wii U titles that we are going to launch this year, and we also plan to make it possible for visitors to try the games immediately. As a brand new challenge, we are working to establish a new presentation style for E3."

"Also, I did not speak at last year’s presentation, and I am not planning to speak at these events at the E3 show this year either. Apart from these exclusive events for visitors, we are continuing to investigate ways to deliver information about our games directly to our home audience around the time of E3. We will share more information about them once they have officially been decided. During the E3 period, we will utilize our direct communication tools, such as Nintendo Direct, to deliver information to our Japanese audience, including those who are at this financial briefing, mainly focusing on the software that we are going to launch in Japan, and we will take the same approach outside Japan for the overseas fans as well."

Why can't we have both?If Nintendo doesn't do a big thing at E3, it's only going to make more people think there's only sony, microsoft and pc, that Nintendo is only for kids.

 

I disagree. I think its a clever idea. For one, everyone will be watching Nintendo because if they are not going to do something big, what are they going to do? Think about it, both MS and Sony will be unveiling things for their announced but unseen (depending if MS show theirs in May) and the Wii U would have already been out for more than half a year. As long as they show awesome software that the fans are sitting here clamouring for then we will be happy (mostly) they've already announced they will be showing a new Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros, so now we just have to see what they are going to top that off with. Also I enjoy Nintendo Direct, because it means I dont have to wait months on end for a big event for them to announce new games. Plus, I'm sure its more cost efficient streaming stuff when they need to instead of setting up a massive keynote.
