most of the posts are Hilarious!!! I contributed towards the end of page 10
check it out.
Oh my god they could have SUCH a huge year if all of this comes true. Lets hope it does.

I: Games Already Announced:
Kirby Wii-Already announced for release later this year in Japan, though we have seen absolutely nothing about it., I expect this game to be shown off and playable on the E3 floor this year.
Animal Crossing Wii-Another game already announced for Japan later this year, but again we have seen nothing about it. So I expect a large reveal and hopefully some playable demos.
Disaster
ay Of Crisis- Nintendo bought Monolith for a reason, and I have a feeling this game was the reason. It has been in development since before the Wii was released, and only a few gameplay videos have been released. I hope to see demos at E3, along with a release date.
Warioland: Shake It!- This game is set to release within the month(in Japan), so expect the game to be playable at E3, along with a real US release date.
Pokemon Platinum- We know it's coming, but we don't know when. I expect release dates for this game as well.
Mario Super Sluggers- The game is completed and has already been released in Japan, and with a release date set for August I would bet a lot that this will be playable at E3.
Wii Music- We saw Wii Music in action a few years ago, and I honestly thought that it was just a fun little feature that they were using to show off the Miis, but now it has grown into a full game. With more then 2 years of developement put into it I expect it to be playable along with release dates for the US and Japan.
Fatal Frame IV- Grasshopper is developing it, but Nintendo is publishing it? With rumors that Nintendo may have bought the rights to the franchise I expect Nintendo to showcase more of this game at E3.
Games They Haven't Announced:
Wii-
Starfox Wii-In an interview last year Miyamoto said that he had indeed started testing for Starfox Wii, but since then we haven't heard much about the little fox and his crew. Could this be the year that they show us a true Starfox sequel? I would say that while it is likely, I wouldn't expect this until the October Conferences.
FZero (Wii or DS)- I would expect this game in some shape or form.
Kid Icarus Wii-With IGN talking about this game like it has already been announced, and Pit getting an appearance in Brawl I would expect Kid Icarus 2 to be announced at this years E3.
Fire Emblem Wii- With Fire Emblem DS near completion Intelligent Systems doesn't have much announced. I would expect something more from Fire Emblem or Paper Mario this year.
Battalion Wars 3- For those who have beaten Battalion Wars 2 you will know that the game ends in a cliffhanger, meaning that it is only a matter of time until Battalion Wars 3 is announced.
Zelda Wii- Wouldn't it be the perfect ending for a game conference to show off a brand new Zelda? Its the perfect time too. Majoras mask was announced a year after Ocarina, with wind waker being announced the year after Majoras mask came out. Then Twilight Princess was announced the year after Wind Waker was announced. Now, 1 1/2 years later, it seems the pattern should continue. While we can't expect the game to be released until 2010-2011, we can expect them to show us a trailer this year.
New IP's- So far the Wii has seen only a few new IP's(Disaster and the Wii series), I wouldn't call it likely, but it isn't a crazy idea to think that Nintendo may be brewing up some new games to rival with Mario and Zelda.
Pikmin 3- It's most likely going to happen on the Wii, only question is, when? Miyamoto would love to visit the little turnip heads again, so who knows. It could happen.
Retro Studios-They have nothing announced. After Metroid Prime 3 came out 11 months ago, and since then they have lost a few of their key people, but they are still a big developement team. And they will be showing something off at E3.
What To Expect from Third Parties:
Treasure- They announced that they have two Wii projects in the works, and I would be shocked if they didn't show them off at E3 this year. Could we be getting a Gunstar Hero's sequel? Another Mischief Makers? What about Sin and Punishment for the Wii(oh please yes!). I don't know what to expect from them, but if I had to guess I would say Sin and Punishment is probably the most likely(first game to get localized via the Virtual Console for a reason maybe?).
High Voltage- I expect The Conduit to be a big hit. They will also show off whatever else they have planned for WiiWare(they already finished two games, they must have a few more right?).
Square Enix- The fate of Kingdom Hearts 3 will be revealed at E3(please!), but who will get it? I wouldn't be entirely shocked if the Wii ended up with a spinoff of Kingdom Hearts, but hey we may get the real deal. I also expect them to show off Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles, if that doesn't show up I would call it cancelled(it has been too long). I also expect them to have a great showing for the DS this year. Two Dragon Quests, Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. Should be a great year for Square and the DS.
EA- They had a great showing last year, Medal Of Honor Heroes 2 with 32 player online. I expect another reveal like this from E3 this year. Hopefully just as good as Medal Of Honor Heroes 2
Ubisoft- They haven't done much for the Wii yet, but I expect them to show off Rayman: TV Party and announce Red Steel 2. If not, Ubisoft can go drop off a cliff for all I care(at least the Wii team can).
Atlus-With the latest Trauma Center being released in the US I expect Atlus to show off a new Trauma Center(Wii or DS, they are all good), along with a few other RPGs for the DS/Wii.
Rainbow- Little known indie developer Rainbow will be bringing Deadly Creatures to the Wii later this year, I expect them to go in depth with the game and show us all how deadly the trantula and scorpion can be. IGN was impressed by the game, so lets hope for more previews during E3.
Konami- With the absolutely stellar Pro Evolution 2008 behind them I expect Konami to announced Pro Evolution 2009 and Elebits 2 for the Wii. Along with indepth looks at Castlevania: Judgement along with Lost In Blue 3.
Capcom-With Spyborgs, Megaman 9, We Love Golf and Monster Hunter 3 to show off Capcom won't dissappoint with E3 this year. Will we get another shocker like we did last year with Monster Hunter 3? A new Resident Evil or Viewtiful Joe perhaps? Lets hope.
Tecmo- With Tecmo Bowl Wii and DS already announced I expect a ton of info on these two games, along with an official announcement of the Wii version(along with trailers please!).
Marvelous Interactive- These guys could steal the third party spotlight this year, with games like Harvest Moon, Rune Factory: Frontier, Arc Rise Fantasia, and Little Kings Story, they could showcase the best third party lineup for the Wii this year.
Expect at least two of the last four games should get release dates, along with Little King Story, Harvest Moon and Rune Factory playable.
Hardware:
Headset- High Voltage has mentioned that they want a headset for the Wii, and I'm sure EA would like to be able to use one. Nintendo would get a ton of points in online if they just announced a headset. Though it doesn't seem particularly likely.
Wii Channels- With all of the announced channels released Nintendo will maybe announce one or two new ones this year at E3. Maybe they have found a way to bring the TV Guide channel to the U.S.? Maybe we will get a chat channel? Who knows, but possibly a few new channels will be announced at E3.
Wii Hardrive(Storage Solution)- While Nintendo has stated that hardrives are for geeks and otaku they have to see that one of the glaring issues with the Wii is a lack of memory. I expect Nintendo to announce a solution of some sort at E3 this year. It's only right!
New DS- Maybe Nintendo will announce or show their new handheld? Maybe the DS will be getting a redesign(DS Lite Lite?) this year? Maybe just a few more colors will be announced? I honestly have no idea what to expect.
?
Wii Colors- They were shown way back at the conferences before the Wii was announced. With the Wii selling so much, and Nintendo having a hard time keeping up with demand I wouldn't expect these until at least next year. But if Nintendo wants to drive sales through the roof by the end of the year, this is the way to do it.
(Research ended)
As you can see Nintendo could have a HUGE year at E3 this year. Lets just hope they can fit it all in to the 3 days!
