This is much later than last time, but who gives a shit, right? Let's have some fun!
Last year I got four out of five predictions right, which I was quite proud of. This time I'm going to make some wild guesses, and I encourage everyone else to do the same. And don't write stuff like "OMG I bet Zelda will be playable!", because we already know that.
-Revolution: Right now I only expect to hear some specs (80% chance), maybe get a glimpse of the controller (20% chance), and possible, hopefully, a little demo reel of some games (60% chance).
-Mario 128: Fuck you, Nintendo, if you don't show off the game. You've been promising it for ages and just a month ago Reggie said that it would be shown at this year's E3. If it's a Revolution game (70% chance), I'm guessing that it will be shown really quick in video form (80% chance), and if it's a GC game (30% chance) it will be... playable, maybe (50% chance).
-New Nintendo handheld: I doubt this rumor. (5% chance)
-Since first-party GBA development has pretty much come to a stop, I'm thinking that Nintendo or other publishers might want to finally localize some of the games that haven't made their way over here, like Mother 1&2 (30% chance), Magical Vacation (5% chance), Goemon ports/remakes (5% chance), or some other stuff (50% chance).
-Awesome new DS games will be shown, like Four Swords DS (online)(70% chance), Final Fantasy III (80% chance), New Mario Bros. (100% chance), and Sonic DS (90% chance).
-Nintendo will show off some DS games that will utilize the system's capabilities in awesome new ways (60% chance).
-More awesome bongo games will be shown, and some like Odama will be given a name chance and a q3/4 release date (70% chance). I'm hoping that Jungle Beat 2 will be shown... PLEASE Nintendo (40% chance?).
-at least one big Nintendo franchise character being developed by another team, ala Star Fox, F-Zero, etc. (80% chance).
Well that's all I've got right now.
