If Blastball is the Retro game I'll cry.
I think it was made by NST.
And how many other DK titles happened?
Donkey Konga
Mario vs DK
Jungle beat
Barrel blast
King of swing
DK jungle climber
This isn't sincere at all, you know why Retro fans being up the disparity between time between releases of DK series and Metroid. It's simple, because Retro made multiple titles from each franchise. The reason no one talks about how long it's been since Ice climbers is first, not many care, secondly because Retro never developed an Ice climber game. Your examples are silly, and it's clear what people want from Retro. Now let's see if Ninty will make good on it later today.
They will get away with anything, people are not expecting Zelda, so the surprise alone will be enough. Just look at TLG trailer. You can even show the same footage, slightly improved. Maybe add a bit from a dungeon. That's all they need.
We have no confirmation for that at this point.
Pokemon games are usually announced separate from Nintendo Directs and E3 I think. However I wouldn't be surprised by an announcement of Pokemon Red/Blue Anniversary for early 2016.

Nintendo is such a wild card it's difficult for me to predict, so I'll play it safe I predict megatons and betrayaltons
Pretty sure tomorrow is the gameplay reveal. On the YouTube E3 coverage, they had the director and said the gameplay would be shown on IGN later. Unless you're referencing something else, it's Transformers.
Not sure where you're going with this. You're saying it's a Metroid game then, or not?

IR is best, gyro is clumsy and painful. Also less accurate.
I get deja vu of last year with many people thinking Nintendo would have a weak showing and everyone with low expectations. Not saying that's a guarantee this show will live up to last year's or anything, but it's interesting to me how the default feeling for anything Nintendo is pessimism and cynicism nowadays.
Hence why I said "I think" it was NST.
Oh right of course, I forgot about that. Kinda came out of nowhere that one.
We've already seen TLG and FF7 remake this E3, I think a Pokemon Snap remake would tip the gaming community into chaos
Now that I think about it the announcement of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire came absolutely out of nowhere. Has there really never been anything main-line pokemon related shown at E3? I find that odd.
I love gyro now that I'm used to it (although I love IR as well). Plus I'm assuming that Retro will be making full use of the gamepad this time.
I'm saying that it could be a Metroid title.
I think it's more about managing expectations. You have to remember that Nintendo don't tend to announce or show many games during their Digital Event. Last year they had a good event but it was Treehouse Live that really stole the show.

We do know that it's placed in the Metroid lore. If it's not Metroid, then it's some metroid related mini-game
What? For real?

I'm in a different country and don't really know when it will begin. How much longer til the direct?
People bring up Prime as I assume they want more of that style of game, rather than requesting Metroid from all Nintendo studios in general because since that could result in something different (like Metroid Prime Pinball 2), therefore it's fair to compare a DKC game with a DKC game rather than a Taiko: Drum Master spinoff. Anyway, my point was brining up the waiting years is a silly argument ergo the ridiculous Ice Climbers example. I didn't really think that needed explaining.
4:45 hours.

In the OP, there is a table for all Nintendo events with different timezones. Which country/timezone do you live in?
EDIT: Beaten.
A 3D platformer starring DK would lead to an awful reaction? Or a DK racer?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Or it'll be like Tropical Freeze where the internet whines and complains about butthurt because wasted talent and then it winds up one of the best games Nintendo has ever published.
I suppose, but in general, I feel like the tone of these type of threads for Nintendo media is pretty down overall. I may be off, I don't know, just seems there's always more legit excitement and hype in stuff for other companies.

Give me that sweet Starfox gameplay.
It's moreso that people trust Retro Studios to do Metroid rather than anyone else because no one else has proven themselves to make a worthwhile Metroid title in forever. Yoshio Sakamoto didn't do it, and people generally don't want him near the series with a million foot pole after Other M. I personally want Metroid to be done by an EAD team to give the series some much needed backbone it's needed internally at Nintendo for some time. Retro cannot and should not do Metroid forever.
To be fair..that's the impression Nintendo have been putting out there.
They said no Zelda..and they have said multiple times that they'll be showing games launching in the near future in the event, emphasising it'll be to show 2015 releases and some early 2016 ones (which is why Zelda won't be shown as it's not due in that time period).
Nintendo's statements have pretty much told fans to manage their expectations as we already know what almost all of their 2015 games will be (on Wii U at least).
You guys will see Blast Ball be a new Metroid game following Samus starting off in the G.F.
This is going to be the ultimate Samus simulator. We will be playing through Samus' extra-curricular activities, like blastball, and making Papa Adam happy. It'll be like a dating-simulator, but with a twist. It's going to be a Father-Daughter simulator.

If they combined both then we will get the 360 banjo game

While I have a lot of love for Nintendo, I don't really see how they're going to top the other conferences.
This has been a truly phenomenal E3 so far.

The only blockbusters people are expecting are Nintendo games and despite the system awful sales they still managed to sell a few
Blockbuster relative to Nintendo's output or the output of the industry in general? I don't think anyone would expect the latter from Nintendo even if the Wii U was the number one selling system off all time, it's just not their kind of thing. And since we're not really expecting much from third parties I think it's fair to say no one is expecting a big blockbuster game for Wii U.
And yet barely anyone cared about the game in the end.
Sounds not so great.
