Nintendo will not show nor mention a new hand held (unless asked directly). - 100%
Geist will be finished and playable and a large part of Nintendo's showing with Zelda, of course, being the centerpiece - 100%
DS online, online titles, and dates of when DS will be online - 100%
Revolution info and pre-rendered video/pics - 100%
(If they dont, they will be viewed as a failure since the other two companies will be showing their new-gen consoles)
Revolution real time pics/videos - 50%
(The only reason they wouldn't show them, is if they're too early and look like krap compared to XBox2 and PS3 pics and videos)
Nintendo announces new third party exclusives and/or a new second party - 100%
(I expect to hear something about Resident Evil, and this could become RE for DS, I know Capcom is dying to get another RE title on the market while the buzz floweth for RE4. In other words, a RE game, but not a sequel to 4, a side quest game similar to the FPS on PSX. This could also be totally circumvented by Killer7 as people would be attracted to the Capcom name just as much as the RE name. As for second parties, I think Nintendo is going to look in to more western devs and look in to FPS and MMORPG's as they are the best selling content for online gameplay which Nintendo BETTER deliver on)
Playable Revolution games - 0%
Mario 128 on Gamecube - 0%
New Mario game, or Mario Sports title - 100%
(Whatever the engine is for Mario 128, it wont be used in the twilight years of GC. Mario 128's engine will be used for a solid Mario launch title on Revolution. That engine has been worked on for years, so it's definitely being looked at for future developments. The new Mario game or sports title because I think we might get Mario Kart Arcade for GC, and also the playable Mario Baseball which should be awesome)
Previousely unreleased or Japan-only N64 and GBA games being released on DS - 100%
(Remember that awesome shooter that Treasure made for N64 that we never got?)
Rare releases Perfect Dark for DS - 5%
(Basically, the same N64 game with possible online gameplay and tweaks. Mainly framerate issues. Rare would do this to boost the Perfect Dark name and gain interest in Zero, but the otherside of the coin is that PD DS would sell like mad crack, and would make more sense if Microsoft released it for the XBox or INCLUDED it with PDZ. Boosting sales of DS wouldn't help MS in any way, especially sense their console is losing to the handheld)
New Metroid game for GC - 0%
For Revolution - 100%
(Metroid Revolution will be the major player in Nintendo's defense against PDZ and other high-profile FPS next gen. They're testing Geist on GC and Metroid Hunters on DS for that purpose as well)
Nintendo will make some random abstract claim that will keep people scratching their heads all through the next gen - 100%
Reggie will invite people in to a group-deffication party for the PS3 and sew the XBox2 in to the womb of a dead horse, then set it on fire - 5%
Reggie will give an amazing speech and start the new Console Wars on a productive, lifting note - 100%
Apps for DS - 100%
(cellphone, movie player, MP3 player, camera, organizer, speech to text, translator, etc etc etc)
The Wavebird 2 - 50%
(Nintendo already said a new Wavebird was on the backburner, it was simply a Wavebird with rumble and some rapid fire buttons. This is most likely not going to see a release, atleast not in America and Europe)
Boobs - 100%
(The hotties will shove video games down our throats, and we will like it very much)
I'll think of more later.
