Nintendo's E3 2010 is going to be two hours long

[Jave]

As tweeted by Geoff Keighley. 9-11 AM PST.

Wow, Nintendo must truly have plenty of stuff to show this year. The hype couldn't possibly get higher.

[Undrave]

I bet one full hour will be devoted to the vitality sensor and Wii Fit 3!! 10 minutes for bathroom break, 10 minutes on trailers and teasers for the Wii and rest all about portables

[Desensitized]

Certainly this will all be about Wii Party and how they're dropping out of the console race due to poor sales. Nintendo doesn't make real games anymore, after all. They won't be missed.

Seriously though, Zelda Wii. If they don't end their conference with it, I'll be really shocked.

[SuperMegaHyper]

I just hope they'll have more to talk about the actual games this year.

A Wii title for both Kirby and Star Fox are long overdue. Hopefully Nintendo can announce at least one of the two this year.

The first Twilight Princess Trailer was shown to thunderous applause in E3 (2006?2007?).

I`m sure the Zelda Wii trailer will be debuted here, as well as a new one from Other M and Star fox Wii, and Kirby if nintendo remembers it this gen.

[Azrayel]

I'm sure a good chunck of the presntation is showing off what the 3DS can do, and the rest for upcoming trailers.

2006 E3. It came out November 2006 (when the Wii came out, it was a launch title) and it was announced running on the Wii a few months before it came out, being announced as a Gamecube exlusive for awhile before that.

Hey, you stole mine.

No, I bet it will be mostly 3DS stuff. Maybe a little Zelda. And hopefully something interesting and new.

I don't want any more old franchises. Everyone always wants a new Zelda. I say let the series take a break. People are just going to end up complaining more and more about how stale the formula is. Unless they really overhaul it, which they won't.

Give us new franchises that use the Wii controls in some new ways or something. A series that's title doesn't start with the word "Wii." I know they don't sell as well, take Endless Ocean for example, but...I just want something new.

You do realize there is a Zelda that's in development already and has concept artwork out now right? And a break? =P Doesn't Zelda do that by having the main core titles be every four years?

How exciting!! Keeping my fingers crossed for a new Star Fox....

[Jave]

They've confirmed plenty of times that Zelda Wii is going to be revealed at E3. Maybe even a playable demo.

The following are pretty much givens, since we know they exist:

- Nintendo 3DS
- Zelda Wii
- Pokemon Black/White
- Pikmin 3
- Golden Sun 3
- Metroid Other M
- Wii Party
- The Last Story
- Xenoblade
- Wii Vitality Sensor
- Cammie Dunaway's vacation

Anything else is speculation. I think the biggest surprises will come from the 3DS titles. (Although it's possible Golden Sun got pushed to 3DS).

There has to be more than this. Last E3 had about as much as this and it wasn't two hours long. Also, most of this has already been announced and has had some good coverage. It'll have to try hard to beat the reveals of last year.

I guess it comes down to what you mean by "main core titles." Because from my count there are about 14 games that all are very very similar.

And just because they "confirmed it" doesn't mean much without a trailer, screen shots, a press release, etc. After all they "confirmed" Pikmin 3 two years ago, and I can't help but notice the lack of Pikmin 3 last year, and maybe this year too.

I enjoy the Zelda series, because it does have a lot of nostalgic value, but with every new Zelda game it becomes more and more apparent that is all that Zelda really has going for it. When Nintendo does change up the formula like in Majora's Mask, for some reason fans don't like it. Which goes to show you, you should never try to please the fans because all they want is the same old thing.

They can give us the same old thing, but they should wait for it to develop more nostalgic value first. By releasing them like clock work it loses all value.

I thought the 1st Twilight Princess trailer premiered at E3 2004. I mean, it is one of the most unforgettable moments in Nintendo history and the crowd's reaction was just crazy.

=P I already told you we did get actual artwork that I'd be more then happy to share with you and a interview all about it a few months ago actually. So it will be at E3 if you like it or not, and besides Twilight Princess was mainly for the gamecube and the Wii version was a last minute type of thing. This is pretty much the first actual Wii only Zelda game so far. And last I checked...we didn't get a huge Zelda game title teaser since 2004. >_>

The last main core title was Twilight Princess(and by main core I mean heavily developed on and is actually for a main stream console aka the Wii) and like I said that was four years ago, I don't see how long you actually want a big Zelda game gone for a longer period of time. If you don't like them then don't play them, can't say if anybody actually agrees with you. xD You put facts like "Fans don't like Majora" when it has it's own huge fanbase to begin with, heck I'm a huge fan of Majora. Personally I think you are putting your opinion too much on the fanbase itself since they basically love different Zelda games in different groups, can't expect every Zelda fan to love every game. There are huge groups who love the newer ones, yet there are huge groups that love the older ones. =) Easy as that.

And ah what the heck, can't hurt to post the artwork right?

Of course they'll have more than that; that's just what we already know about. Something big that we didn't know about always gets announced at these things. I just hope that mostly stuff we actually care about (a la Other M and SMG2 last year) as opposed to stuff we don't (Vitality Sensor, anyone?).

I don't think last year's had just as much content as this year is shaping up to have, either: they'll be revealing a lot more details about the 3DS hardware (how the 3D works, graphical capabilities, hopefully price and release date) plus presumably showing off a goodly portion of the launch lineup. That could eat up an hour right there. They didn't have a whole new system to show off last year.

[OriginalGagBonke]

If its gonna be longer, I got a feeling that this might be worth the show too bad I cant go to it since I dont even live near where its being shown. There better be a kirby or even a Star fox wii title mentioned in this...Maybe a Earthworm Jim 4 sneak peak.

A Wii title for both Kirby and Star Fox are long overdue. Hopefully Nintendo can announce at least one of the two this year.

How long has Kirby Wii been supposedly in development? I mean, it was originally meant to be a Gamecube game...
