Hmm... E3 predictions...
Well, Nintendo will announce some new games. Given that the schedule for the second half of the year is pretty empty except for a couple of games, they've really got to... Animal Crossing 2 (hopefully online, but I wouldn't expect it), Mario Kart (same regarding online), Pikmin 2, and Pokemon are pretty safe bets... as well as F-Zero, Wario World, and Zelda Wind Waker.
Other than that, I wouldn't expect a Silicon Knights announcement, but Factor 5 does sound more likely... it's been a while since Rogue Squadron 2, after all. And yes, something Star Wars is a pretty good guess. A HAL announcement sounds good too, but as to what it will be, I have no idea... and other than that? Probably some new first party games we haven't heard of, and maybe some more stuff...
Maybe Intellent Systems will announce a NGC title... we might also hear about those other elusive 2nd party titles from Camelot, etc. I hope.
I wish there would be a big online announcement but do NOT expect it. I would expect announcement of linkable games (System Link via broadband adapters...), because that would be easy to do, but a real online network? Probably not... Nintendo has been too resistant. Idiots.
