What do we think is going to happen?
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/26426
There comes a time every year around E3 time where we of the enthusiast gaming media need to lay out our wildest dreams, be it realistic or incredulous, and see what you readers have to say about them.
This is that time. So, without further ado, here are a sampling of the Nintendo World Report's predictions. If you think we're crazy, or you noticed a staffer didn't add their thoughts and you want to know what they think, hit us up in Talkback. We're also anxious to see what you think about E3 as well.
I predict Anon will be there and will heckle or do other things to disrupt Sony during their conference.(http://i.imgur.com/HTpZS.jpg)
...But every other fighter is on there. Why I'm waiting to see Clay Fighters, Mortal Kombat, Virtue Fighter, King of Fighters, Disney Base Fighter, Capcom VS <Insert everything you can think of here>, TMNT Tournaments: Legacy, Etc...
I got to disagree with those saying SSB 3DS. I think the screen is too small for this kind of game. Otherwise, great feature.
Having two players on screen with the point of killing one another vs. 4 players on screen with the point of knocking them out of bounds, is very different. One needs barely any real estate, the other needs a lot.I've got 2 screens :P
All in all, I predict that it will be a fun year for Nintendo at E3. Some known quantities, some surprising revelations, and one or two shockers; just the way I like it.
It was definitely a surprise to see more than one person predict that the Vitality Sensor will be integrated into the new system's controller. No way. I have my doubts as to whether that tech even exists any more - it always seemed like a concept that was very prematurely moved out of R&D.
It was 1 or 2 Iwata Asks ago I'm fairly sure. Right after the Investor meeting. He says that it has an ~80% success rate and that wasn't good enough. Nintendo wants it at 99%.It was definitely a surprise to see more than one person predict that the Vitality Sensor will be integrated into the new system's controller. No way.

I remember reading somewhere recently that Vitality Sensor was confirmed to still be in development by Iwata. I think he even said it will be at E3 this year. But I'll have to source that quote again....
I'll look it up later.
Also, concerning Wii Vitality Sensor, I imagine that you are worried about that because it hasn't been put on the market even though a long time has passed since it was initially announced. This is a totally new type of entertainment, and there are large individual differences in the biological information of humans. For example, if it was acceptable that only 80% of the users thought the result was natural, then we could propose this to consumers right now. However, we are aiming for a level of quality in which 99% of consumers feel comfortable, and that is why this project is taking time to complete. I feel that this project has a lot of interesting potential, and we would like to continue this project without giving up, but it is difficult to overcome this hurdle, so please understand that now I cannot clearly say when we will be ready to put this on the market.
Safe predictions to a large extent, although everybody has at least one that I'd label as either wishful thinking or plain crazy.
The screen is too small for the kind of chaos that is happening in SSB for it to be a playable game on 3DS. I have a hard time keeping track of stuff sometimes on a 32", so I can only imagine how hard it would be on a 3.5".... in 3D.Easier? It's a smaller visual area to keep track of. I guess we'll have a better idea when we have a chance to play Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion more.
That is very true. I'm actually surprise the Review copies aren't out for that game.The screen is too small for the kind of chaos that is happening in SSB for it to be a playable game on 3DS.

I'm sorry Half-Life isn't that great. Its good but I wouldn't really be excited about Half Life 3.
I thought the game hit its low point when you got the Gravity gun. It was like God Mode pretty much not to long after that. Red Faction suffered the same. Been training intensely for the end and the end itself is a joke. HL2 would have been a much better game if it would have cut the Vehicle sequences to a quarter of what they are in that game. Valve can't do Vehicles Period.QuoteI'm sorry Half-Life isn't that great. Its good but I wouldn't really be excited about Half Life 3.
Amen, I thought I was the only nay-sayer. I played Half-Life, both expansions, Half-Life 2, and both of its expansions, and I agree, they are not as great as people say. I think the first Half-Life was really revolutionary at the time with they way it told its story sans cutscenes (a'la Modern Warfare and Bioshock), but the gameplay was only good when you were fighting soldiers, which was like 1/4 of the game, if that, and that it actually had bosses (2 of them).
And then we had a whole lot of good FPS's after that, and Metroid Prime, and so when Half-Life 2 came out, it was pretty darn underwhelming, if not boring. The only part of that game I liked was the last level, where you get to play with the Gravity Gun. That last expansion pack (Episode 2) was actually pretty good, though. Not fantastic, just pretty good. Really liked that last level fight against the walkers.
Your missing the whole RFN Cast, Karlie, and Kairon. (I throw Pale their but I rarely see him.)
I would further predict that Nintendo is going to pull a lot more 3D-enhanced ports of old N64 games out of their ass. Super Mario 64 3DS? It's a given.Go Go Quest 64 3D. Cinnamon Bun of Power 3D.

I just assumed you were lazy :P Anyways your on the boards enough I'm sure I can dig it up.Your missing the whole RFN Cast, Karlie, and Kairon. (I throw Pale their but I rarely see him.)Ahem.
I would have contributed, but I couldn't come up with anything that hadn't already been said.
