Well I will be having my first ever 3 part E3 prediction post starting today. I'm gonna start with Nintendo, lasts year E3 will go down as one of the worst showings ever! So to no surprise my hope are not high for this year. Nintendo has seemed to focus all of there attention to the casual gamer and its paid off big time for them. Nintendo itself has remained pretty quiet this year aside from announcing the new ds Zelda game nothing has really been new. Don't get me wrong this is by far not a bad year for the core gamer because third party companies are steping up their game with such titles as Madworld, House of the dead: Overkill, and deadly creatures already on shelves and many more to come this year. The problem is the company missing from this influx of games is Nintendo themselves. Aside from Wii sports resort the lineup so far from Nintendo for their cash cow is weak.
So how can they turn this around? 2-3 mega titles and I'm not talking pikmin I mean Mario, Zelda, and a toss up for the third spot who knows maybe even a new IP. I think its only fair for the core fans to expect this seeing that both Sony and Microsoft and created new IP's and even produced sequels for them (Gears of war and Resistance) while Nintendo has only done one of their main titles so far this generation, and the thing I don't understand is how can Nintendo be having such a hard time when they have have the simplest of the tech and have been doing it the longest. For those that like to bring up the controls remember this, Super Smash Bros Brawl doesn't use motion controls at all while Super Mario Galaxy uses it very little. My point being they are not afraid to make games without motion controls. Not to mention that they should be the best at working with the tech they brought out.
Let's move on to this year's E3 I hope Nintendo brings its "A" game and it's a huge possibility that this is the year for them to really win back their core fans. Let me just list some of the things I think we are gonna see at E3.
1. Wii Fit Plus a.k.a. Wii fit 2
2. Releasing a flood of GB and GBA games for DSi ware
3. A lot of focus on Motion Control games
4. Pikmin 3
5. New wave of Wiimakes
Now for my wish list of announcements for Nintendo E3 09:
1. Nintendo announcing first party support for Wiiware
2. A new Mario DS and Wii game
3. A New Wii Zelda with motion controls
4. New Donkey Kong, Kirby, Star Fox, or any other abandoned first party game.
5. Wii HD
6. New Nintendo IP
I know my wish list is highly unlikely, but its just a few things I would love to see and think about it if only one of those things come true it will make this year better than last. That's it for Nintendo today, let's hope Nintendo finally starts to listen to their fans and they finally finish their vacation and get back to work and give us something to be excited about.
