The NWR staff avoid the usual suspects as they share their expectations, hopes, and delusions about the upcoming E3.
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/34479
Staff Sez starts with a single question posed to each of the NWR staffers, who are then challenged to snap back a simple, short response. This time, the question was "If there was one non-Mario/Zelda/Pokémon/Metroid announcement Nintendo made at E3, what would you want it to be?" What did each person come up with despite that limitation? Their answers are below.

For all the Mega Man X people, I'd even take it a step further. Nintendo buys the rights to the entire Mega Man series and asks Keiji Inafune to head up a new sequel.

The problem with a 3DS player ala GBA Player for GC is that the Wii U can not do 3D graphics which would then seem to indicate or show that they are irrelevant which is one of the main selling points and, heck, reason for the name of the system.I don't know, I haven't really seen Nintendo push the 3D anymore, plus there are games like NSMB2 which practically have no 3D whatsoever. Not to mention the 3DS XL, which makes it really difficult to find and maintain the 3D sweet spot. So, I'm not sure it's a feature that even Nintendo care about anymore.

I know a lot of people play without them but it runs counter to the current marketing strategy. A DS player, sure, maybe that could be done but DS games are being phased out with very few left on market and most having been relegated to second hand sales and the 3DS line taking over the shelf space.
