Not if the game looks like crap. Nintendo aren't going to get away with showing a CG trailer of Zelda now they let the cat out the bag with actual gameplay footage. I've no doubt that Zelda U was delayed because a) they didn't have any actual game inside that world, or b) the game was just straight up not working or fun to play. Showing it in a poor state would be disastrous.
Please God let it happen
I expect pretty much the same. I think the remaster might be Sunshine HD if there is one and I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 2D Metroid on 3DS.

5.5 more hours! :O
I'm sure about this but still I don't think that another DKC is what people want. Wii U already has many platformers, it would be nice to see Retro on something new, like F zero.

I'd sacrifice all that just for f zeroI'd love an "extreme sports" E3 from Nintendo.
Wave Race, 1080, Pilotwings, Mario Strikers, Excite Trucks.
One can dream
No NX, no mobile, no QoL.
Haha, rightio! Just making sure you weren't going to miss it. ^_^
It would be best to check when BY2K's thread lands. He will have links/ Go to Twith's Nintendo page at the moment. YT should go live soon.
Complete with Amiibo cards.
I actually think more people would prefer Donkey Kong but there's that very vocal minority that makes you believe otherwise.

I'm in SA but I get up at 5am.
I'd sacrifice all that and F-Zero ...just for Endless Ocean 3.
The gap between Super Metroid and Metroid Prime was 8 years.
The gap between Donkey Kong Country 3 and Donkey Kong Country Returns was 14 years (or 11 if you count Donkey Kong 64).
Honestly, this Metroid fans are suffering and Donkey Kong fans have got it all sob story is getting old. This weird war between two series is so odd when you can just enjoy both. What if Retro announced Ice Climbers U? That would be a 30 year gap. Can't exactly bring up the years argument then.
I hope that isn't the basis of their thinking because that could just as easily be because they want to have Diddy Kong on a hat. They are after all bringing him more and more into the main Mario group when it comes to the Mario brand.
It's always donkey kong
That'd be interesting, especially the reaction considering Ice Climbers NES is such a piece of shit.
b-b-b-but Nintendo plays by their own E3 rules!
Always as in that one time?

I enjoy both, but i have enough platformers on my Wii U.
final predictions:
1. bayonetta 3 by retro studios
2. mother 3 but in earthbound 64 style
3. star fox wii u's full name: new star fox
4. metroid: blast ball announced for 3ds, f2p with microtransactions
5. animal crossing themed splatoon dlc announced
6. skies of arcadia 2 for 3ds announced - made by the valkyria team and rieko kodama
7. diddy kong 3d platformer announced, developed by next-level for 3ds
8. monster games up-porting super mario 64 ds to 3ds as super mario 64 ds 3d
9. xenoblade date
10. mega man legends 3 for 3ds
11. close the event with the holiday wii u game: beyond good & evil 2
thought i'd try to be a bit more realistic.

I like how lowered people's expectations are after Sony's conference.
Okay, let's see...
- Skylanders with amiibo support on Wii U/3DS: Basically Gear or something like that for your figures if you use an amiibo or something like that. Hinted at during the Giant Bombcast and the Disney Infinity people being sour on amiibo recently.
- Minecraft on Wii U by Tantalus. I mean, it has to be, right? It's the only thing left out there at this point for them to do unless Nintendo has them on something, which I doubt.
- Animal Crossing Utopia with amiibo figures. I feel like they're going to be easy amiibo to find OR are Nintendo's next big amiibo set, with 1 figure for each Special Villager, so 40-50 in all. They said they'd need to change the game for consoles, so I hope dual-screen local multiplayer is one of them.
- Star Fox U will be episodic. 3 paths, bottom/middle/top. Beat all 3 for an extra path to get the true ending or something like that. Maybe a $30 downloadable/$40 retail game
- Dragon Quest 8 localization. 2016
- Xenoblade Chronicles X release date for the west.
- Mother 3 localization announcement. 2016.
- F-Zero UX by Next Level Games
- Metroid Prime 4 by Retro Studios
That's really all I can think of in terms of new announcements.

I don't care if Retro is making a Donkey Kong, Metroid or F-Zero game, any of those three would make me really excited.
Would slightly prefer Metroid or F-Zero since we've already had Tropical Freeze.
I lost my hype for Xenoblade X sadly, as it seems to focus on the things I enjoyed the least about Xenoblade.

Mine was always lowered, when you look at their development teams and journalist schedules. I've actually got more optimistic since Sunday.

They already confirmed that it is.
People seemed to have dropped any expectations for a new Punch-Out!! despite it being really hinted at the E3 announcement video.
It was Transformers
It was Transformers
What other Nintendo franchise could they work on?
Starfox? Could be.
Metroid? Unless they work on Blastball, no.
Ice Climbers? Doubtful.

Sony announces TLG, FF7 and shenmue 3?
Looks like EAD Tokyo is working on Crash.

Is Blastball an actual Metroid game?
That Pokemon Mystery Dungeon game was just announced not long ago

Mystery Dungeon and Pokken are the only things I can think of. Not expecting a new main game. Pokemon Z would be a surprise. Pokemon Snap would work so well with the gamepad but I don't see it happening.
