Topic: Nintendo has something even bigger...

[couchmonkey]

*twirls speculation hat around index finger*

I speculate that we'll have a lot of PO'd fans posting here during E3.  I really don't think Nintendo will show much new...we will probably get to see Mario Golf and Tennis, but those are no bigger than Mario Kart.   We'll probably also see 1080, but it won't be the first time.  If we're lucky, I think we will see one new game from Silicon Knights or NST, but I'm not counting on it.  I guess we might see a new Pokemon game or Star Fox but I wouldn't count on that either.

Look at what Nintendo is already probably showing: Mario Tennis, Golf, Kart, Karaoke, Diary, etc. plus Final Fantasy, Rogue Squadron III, F-Zero,  Kirby, Wario World and Pikmin 2...that's a major lineup considering the company said it was going to rely on third parties this year.  Then again, that may just be lip service to make the third parties feel like the Gamecube is worth developing for.  Hmmm...

*tosses speculation hat away before hopes get too high*

square enix making a zelda game is not a bad idea.....they could make it more rpg style and call it Time Hero

[Phish]

A Zelda RPG created by Square Enix is a great idea.  Kind of like when Square did Super Mario RPG.  Back then I didn't think making a Mario RPG was a great.  But Square managed to keep a Mario feel to the game.  And Super Mario RPG was bad ass.

[Nintendo Gamecube]

Whoever looks at the Zelda pic in the NP magazine thiks it is Zelda. But if you are imaginitive as me, you can look at the top portion as a beak, and it is actually a duck. Maybe a MIGHTY DUCK? Hmmm...Miyamoto would be on crack.

Anyways....

E3 is going to have one big announcement. Don't get your hopes up for  like 100 announcements cuz you ain't going to get that much.

Like Biohazard said before, stop speculating or you're going to ruin all the surprises.

Whoops...thanks for correcting me.

You know, if Nintendo would just use some of those sitting around billions, they could buy rockstar and square enix and the gc would be the undisputed champion fo the gaming world, grta, ff, mario, zelda, sonic... mmmm

[PIAC]

and leave them with enough change to get a 40 cent cone from mcdonalds! huzzah!

[mouse_clicker]

No problem, ninja- that is, if you weren't being sarcastic.

[Ninja X]

They could buy Rockstar and Sqaure-Enix?  This is an estimated guess...but I say a buck fifty will be left-over in their treasury after they're done buying these two companies...

And no, I wasn't being sarcastic...maybe....

[Chiphead]

I think the Nintendo Power scan shown above has something to do with it. Here it is again:

WHO'S THAT POKÉMON?

Clearly, that's Link.  But isn't it a bit too soon to reveal a new Zelda, seeing as how The Wind Waker was just released?  Maybe it's just that they're showing Soul Calibur II.  But why is it a shadow?  Maybe a new Zelda for GBA?

[Mario]

Well it's quite obvious that Nintendo are gonna buy Capcom, Sega-Namco, Square-Enix, Take 2, Blizzard and maybe Tecmo at E3. SUPERHYPERMEGATON!

[joeamis]

there is no way they are revealing another zelda this soon, so i hope people shut up about that
the pic is merely there for soul calibur 2
i'm sure nintendo power hasn't said much of anything about that game in their magazine, especially
the fact that link is in it, so it's merely the icing on the cake for the next issues E3 blowout

another mario title this soon (regular mario title, not tennis, kart, golf) would also be way too soon
(remember when sega released sonic title after sonic title and it losts its fanbase)

i'm looking forward to what the camelot rpg on gamecube will be, maybe golden sun gamecube

[BlkPaladin]

Nintendo is already developing another Mario and Zelda but I'm not expecting a peep from them until next year. The most interesting thing may be the "mystery" game from Silicon Knights. And then there will be the normal announcement that will result in unessary speculation. But there is always something different Nintendo likes to show to keep the press on it toes.

[Termin8Anakin]

My guess for E3 Nintendo games:
-Pokemon GC: the PROPER GC game, not this Box crap
-Pokemon Box
-Earthbound GC
-Fire Emblem GC
-Mario GC 2
-Zelda GC 2
- SSB3
-Two Silicon Kinghts games
- Mario Tennis, Golf, Kart
-Rogue Squadron 3
- Metroid Prime 2
-Donkey Kong GC
-Zoonami's Game Zero
-Resident Evil 4
-Viewtiful Joe
-Dead Phoenix
-Killer 7
and of course....
-Metal Gear Solid GC
and Final Fantasy CC

[ZombieX]

Here is my speculation:

Nintendo:
2 new EAD games revealed
Pokemon GC
New RPG from Treasure
New game from Silicon Knights
Fire Emblem GC
Smash Bros. 3
Another HAL GC game revealed
Donkey Kong GC
Yoshi GC game
Gamecube Wars
Animal Crossing 2

SEGA:
Sonic Hero
Virtua Fighter Quest
New Smilebit game
New Amusment Vision game

Square/Enix:
New GC revealed
Parasite Eve Rebirth

Whoa thats about a trillion dollars to buy all those companies!!!  I dont think Nintendo has that much money, it would be cool though...

[Don'tHate742]

the secret Silicon Knights games are MGS: twin snake and too human......  

[Kulock]

*looks at the burned, mangled, disused speculation cap* Er, I'll pass on that...

Super Mario 128 was promised as going to be shown, that's what I'm holding out for. Anything else from Nintendo will be a nice surprise.

Hey, where can I get more info on Too Human, I hear this game is gonna kick some serious ass.

[MutFox]

Guy's Don't Forget about "ProjectZero" or whatever by ZOONAMI.
Hehe... Remember they're basically the RARE talent.
All MS got was the RARE name.  

[Mario]

Matt from IGN said he knows what one of Miyamoto's new franchises is

Quote
"I know about more. I know in detail about one of Miyamoto's baffling projects. But again I can't write about it for several reasons, at least one of them being an NDA the size of a lawn mower. "

Baffing ay? I like the sound of that. I also like the sound of "one of"

[PIAC]

he is working a secret project i am not at liberty to divulge *cough*cyborgs

[mouse_clicker]

"Super Mario 128 was promised as going to be shown, that's what I'm holding out for."

Ah, man, same here. O_O I was playing SMS just an hour or so ago and forgot how insanely fun that game is. SM 128 is really my msot anticipated game at this point.

"-Earthbound GC"

I seriously doubt there's gonna be a Gamecube Earthbound game for a while- Nintendo's already said they're making Mother 3 for the GBA and considering their reluctance to even do that, I doubt they have a 4th in development, however much I'd love it to be true.

[Bill Aurion]

My dream list

Earthbound GC(supposedly Mother 3 is being made for GBA, but who knows)
Kid Icarus(I don't have to explain why)
A freakin' real Pokemon RPG for the GC(and with Genius Sonority supposedly behind the development, my dream may come true soon...And yes, I AM obsessed with Nidoqueen   )

[mouse_clicker]

Bill: It's not "supposedly". I wasn't thrilled about it, either, but on the Mother 1+2 commercials in Japan, at the end it said "We're also making Mother 3 for the Gameboy Advance". Mother 3 IS a Gameboy Advance title. Why escapes me, but that's the truth.
