Topic: E3 2019 Thread

[ThePerm]

I usually start this thread. So, here we go.

Predictions: We'll finally see Metroid Switch. Even if Metroid got rebooted they still have assets to work with.

Maybe we'll see a Switch revision. The Executives over at Nintendo are known to boldface lie in these regards.

[nickmitch]

I could see a 2D Metroid making an appearance, if they were working on it separately.  But wasn't it just this year (January?) that they announced the game was delayed and switching devs?  I know the art is in place and probably being reused, but unless the change happened earlier, I doubt we'll get a trailer.  But I would really like to see one.

I'm also expecting 2 Smash DLC character reveals and maybe the return of Home Run Contest in the next big update.  The 5 are due by February and we've only gotten one and have not seen the others.

Even with 3 "tent pole" titles on the agenda (FE, AC, LM3) I feel like it'll be a pretty mild E3 for Nintendo.

Prime 4 is at least a year and a half out at this point and Nintendo doesn't usually show things that early unless they're desperate, which they definitely aren't right now. We're going to see things that are coming out before the end of the fiscal year, and probably very little else. I assume there's at least one significant late 2019 game we don't know about right now that will be revealed there, which I'm really hoping will include Pikmin 4.

Predictions:

1. Metroid: Samus Returns Plus+ trailer and 2019 release date
2. Donkey Kong: Kremling Krew Katastrophe trailer
3. Bayonetta 3: Nintendo’s Witch trailer
4. A very special appearance by Reggie Fils-Aime to announce the Mother 3 source code has been destroyed
5. S-Zero, an F-Zero spin-off/Star Fox crossover featuring chibi characters and a maximum speed for 55 MPH. Slow and steady wins the race!

I’d really like to see two or more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character announcements, but I think we only get one.

All right here's my list of unreasonable demands that won't play out:
-OutRun 3. Maybe this one is set at night time though, neon cities with a synthwave soundtrack.
-Super Monkey Ball 3, on Switch, uses the gyro.
-SNK announces Neo Turf Masters for their next project following KoF 14 & Samurai Shodown.

Other unrealistic ideas:
-I think Switch and its accessories could do with a pricedrop. Get out of here with 80$ Joycon sets if they start drifting within a year or 2. They won't do this of course.
-I believe the Destroy All Humans rumours, not sure if it'll be a new game or just a collection though.
-Pokémon Trading Card Game Online comes to Switch. Make it happen.
-The new FromSoftware game is actually a Lost Kingdoms spiritual successor.
-Nintendo brings out a new I.P. that looks like a partygame somewhere in between WarioWare and Rhythm Heaven, but impresses neither fanbase.
-Ubisoft releases Just Dance 2020 on Wii and X360, but not Wii U.

5. S-Zero, an F-Zero spin-off/Star Fox crossover featuring chibi characters and a maximum speed for 55 MPH. Slow and steady wins the race!

Thanks, I hate it.

I could see a teaser of Metroid making it, like more CGI that pretends to be gameplay even though we don't usually see things like that from Nintendo. It seems way off but because of the restart I wonder if they just want to show something for all the seemingly patient people. Maybe something story related that still leaves us in the dark about how the game will really look and play during actual gameplay.

Mystery robot hand from Retro will definitely be shown just you watch!

This is probably your wildest prediction.

Iwata: *laughs*

I could imagine there could be a new Zelda using the BotW engine. Or DLC that is a whole new game, but you have to own BotW first so you're forced to have both.


We'll probably see a lot of PS5

[nickmitch]

We actually haven't seen Bayo 3 since it was announced, so I guess it could be time.

Also wouldn't be surprised to see a new Kirby game.

[pokepal148]

My prediction is that there will be two Smash characters announced and one of them will be made available to download during the show.

[Luigi Dude]

I could see a 2D Metriod 5 being shown.  It's getting close to 2 years since Mercury Stream finished Samus Returns and the 100% ending shows where Sakamoto wants to take the story.  I wouldn't be surprised if they started development shortly after Returns was released, especially since by that time it became clear the Switch was going to be a hit and Samus Returns had a good deput it's first month on the aging 3DS.

It's probably a Spring or Summer 2020 release but it'd be the perfect time to show it since Prime 4 is probably too early because of the reboot and Nintendo knows Metriod fans might go crazy again if nothings Metriod related is shown this year because of the Prime 4 delay.

I could see Prime Trilogy HD being shown since all reports say it's been done for awhile now but with the Prime 4 delay until who knows, I wonder if they'll be delaying that for a while so it's closer to Prime 4 as well.  Then again they released the port of Bayo 1+2 over a year ago and we have no idea how far Bayo 3 is so Prime Trilogy HD could come out in the near future even if Prime 4 is a ways away.

[nickmitch]

I've been thinking lately about how weird it would be to have the Prime Trilogy HD come out right before Prime 4.  I get that the port gives the series some currency and free buzz, but if it's too close I might not get it since I wouldn't feel like I have the time to pick at 3 games with the fourth coming soon after.

"Prime Trilogy HD available now"
"Pikmin 1&2 Newer Play Controls available now"

Metroid 5... I appreciate Luigi Dude’s optimism. Unfortunately... YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!

I’d really like to see two or more Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character announcements, but I think we only get one.

This is probably your wildest prediction.

I considered not posting that one. I tried to take a measured approach this year.

[Mop it up]

Will we finally see Pikmin 4 this year, or will it become the new Duke Nukem Forever?

[Adrock]

Nintendo already released a fourth Pikmin game.

No need to thank me. My reward is helping others.

[ShyGuy]

I keep coming up with new predictions.

Microsoft brings Banjo Kazooie back, and it's releasing on Switch with Xbox Live support.

3D Mario is teased for 2020

Breath of the Wild sequel is mentioned.

Retro has a new prime 4 teaser, with a new subtitle

[pokepal148]

Here's a prediction: Reggie will make some kind of appearance during e3, probably to reveal the game that the weird hand in his retirement picture came from.

If I didn't live with other people I'd quote you in a youtube video wearing my Willy Wonka costume.

[Stratos]

Ready for the show!

Banjo & Kazooie for Smash 2019!

[ThePerm]

Nintendo has to make an Eternal Darkness 2 sometime.

[ShyGuy]

Pokemon got us started us off right

[BeautifulShy]

I don't normally have predictions but I am excited to see what is revealed at the show.    I do like what was shown for the Pokémon Direct today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpjVUOJkX-s&t=0s

[Stratos]

Yeah Pokemon looks great. Hopefully there will be a way to import from "Lets Go" without needing the subscription service.

The real question on everyone's mind is of course, how will the unveiling of the new Just Dance be handled this year?


(Not the actual artwork, this is fanmade I think).

Previous shows:
2018: A marching band played a medley of 5 songs.
2017: Bebe Rexha (?) sang The Way I Are (Dance With Somebody).
2016: Group of costumed dancers perform to Queen's Don't Stop Me Now.
2015: Jason Derulo sang Want To Want Me without once shouting his own name.
2014: Group of teens demonstrate phone integration to Lady Gaga's Applause.
2013: So this was just a video demonstrating Gamepad use, but elsewhere on the stagefloor Just Dance became part of the Sonic canon.
2012: Flo Rida interrupts six dancers, gets the audience to raise their hands.
2011: The famous Mr. Caffeine show included webcam footage from lots of people dancing, including Katy Perry.
2010: Trailer in typical Wii era living room settings. Joel McHale hosted fairly awkwardly.
2009: Not really e3 since Just Dance was unveiled at GamesCom 2009 instead, but eh I'm making this list for some reason. The trailer was a couple of people at boring jobs dancing with their co-workers/customers, features Pump Up The Jam.

I think for the 2020 edition they should wheel out another singer again. My money's on Lil' Nas X showing up with his song Old Town Road. What do y'all think? Hologram projections? Dabbing pandas? A cross-over with Dancing With The Stars? Will it be cringey? Will someone do a Fortnite dance?
