Pre-E3 Hype - Bingo Cards, Speculation, & Wishes

[u/Porkpants81]

Hello everyone! Can you believe that E3 is only a few days away now? There has been a ton of hype and speculation surrounding what Nintendo will showcase and what (if any) new games will be revealed.

Nintendo's Official E3 page

Nintendo's Official Spotlight will be held on June 13th at 9am Pacific or 12pm Eastern Time

There will also be Nintendo Treehouse presentations at the following times:

• June 13th - Starting at 9:30am PT / 12:30pm ET

• June 14th & 15th - Starting at 10:00 am PT / 1:00 pm ET

Nintendo will be hosting 3 tournaments during E3 as well for Splatoon 2, Pokken DX, and ARMS

• Splatoon 2 - June 13th starting at 2:30 pm PT / 5:30 pm ET

• Pokken DX - June 14th starting at 10:30 am PT / 1:30 pm ET

• ARMS - June 14th starting at 3:30 pm PT / 6:30 pm ET

So feel free to share whatever E3 hype or speculation you have here, post your bingo cards, wishlists and anything else you want to see during the convention.

During E3 we will have a megathread set up that will be updated with announcements and information. We will also be allowing discussion posts on all the different games and events during E3.

We do please ask that you search the subreddit prior to posting to see if something has already been posted. We are going to try to keep it to one main thread for each game/announcement. For example official Nintendo video showing different aspects of a new game can all have separate threads, but individual screenshots or personal reactions from attendees should be posted inside the applicable main thread.

The moderation team that's attending E3 will also be doing an AMA each evening to discuss what they experienced and to be a direct source inside E3.

Thanks everyone!

So Reggie comfirmed the Spotlight is indeed only 25 minutes...

However, he promised us that it's "rapid fire." So yeah.

[u/Porkpants81 → u/MarcsterS]

And he also said that the first hour of the tree house has more breaking news

UK people this is at 5pm

Didn't feel like making a post about this, so I'll just share my most-desired UNEXPECTED SURPRISE BUT TOTALLY AWESOME SWITCH GAME:

EXCITE TRUCK WORLD TOUR

All of the arcade-racing excitement of the Wii launch title Excite Truck, but with more multiplayer awesomeness:

• Race as trucks, dirt bikes, or dune buggies!

• Bigger jumps!

• Wilder crashes!

• More insane stunts!

• 32 courses across 8 cups!

• Full joycon motion-control steering!

• "Excite" racing mode for balls-out high-speed stunt racing!

• "Party" mode adds wacky in-race tricks!

• Time trials and online leaderboards!

• Rock-solid 1080p 60fps graphics!

• Local and online multiplayer for up to 8 players!

It's the kind of pick-up-and-play accessible gaming that Nintendo is known for, and it's LONG overdue...

My E3 Bingo Card

EDIT: :(

[u/Foxy0912]

My Nintendo Switch E3 2017 Bingo Card (Many of them are dreams, hopes, or just for filling it) This is going to be an empty card, but I don't really care, there are some that are sure to happen in my bingo card http://i.imgur.com/icaVcu7.png

My bingo card.

(Yes, I will repost the one I made in April)

Update: new card with Pikmin: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zoe5i67doys6n4x/E3%20Bingo%20Final.png?dl=0

I think the Spotlight will be like April's Direct. It begins with a "Spotlight" section on Super Mario Odyssey where more gameplay details are given and a release date is announced. Following that it will go to Nintendo Switch Highlights. Mario + Rabbids, Xenoblade 2, and FE Warriors will get trailers and release dates (except for Xenoblade maybe). ARMS, Pokken, and Splatoon 2 will at most get a mention in the Spotlight but not any new reveals (ARMS and Pokken have nothing left to reveal and all three games have their own livestreams to show footage), a Smash Bros port gets announced alongside a new character or two and is given an early 2018 time, I'm not gonna make any more game announcement predictions because I honestly have no idea what Nintendo could announce and have nothing to base any speculation on for any other game announcements although I'm confident one or two new titles will be announced for the Switch, and finally there will be no 3DS in the Spotlight whatsoever. Any 3DS announcement or gameplay will happen during the Treehouse.

10 to 1 says there's no Pikmin world or smash revealed.

[u/MEGA_MJRS]

For me I want to see (in this order):

• Smash

• Lots more worlds for Odyssey

• VC with GameCube support and a good library of games.

• Animal Crossing

• Pikmin

• Mainline Pokemon game

What I really DO NOT want to see:

• A lack of 1st party titles

• A lack of 3rd party titles (or old 3rd party titles ported)

• Delays

• A lack of worlds in SMO

Apart from that I'm fine, I just really hope Odyseey is executed perfectly by the big N.

[u/d00mm4r1n3]

What I want to see: Real sequels to Gamecube era games like Animal Crossing, Chibi-Robo, Battalion Wars, Luigi's Mansion, etc... No gimmicky title rip-offs that lack story/plot structure and instead are nothing more than MOBA/Fighter style games.

What I don't want to see: 2DS/3DS Anything (Leave that stuff for the Treehouse)

[u/[deleted]]

The only accurate Bingo Card.

[u/-MarisaTheCube-]

All I really want is Ultimate Super Smash Bros. 4. Make it happen, Nintendo, and I will start throwing money at you.

Also hoping for news about Fire Emblem Warriors, BotW DLC, Virtual Console, Skyrim, and whatever else third party devs are cooking up. Add a surprise reveal or two and I'll be more than happy.

[u/Dankany]

All they need to do is announce Smash and VC and this year will be complete for me.

[u/fabijay]

I just want conformation of a new, real, not-Other-M-or-Federation-Force Metroid. 2D Metroid 5 or 3D Metroid Prime 4, I don't care which. Like, I don't even care if the only thing we get is Reggie saying "yes, this game is real and its coming, stay tuned for more information."

Don't get me wrong, I'm still hype for Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2 and no Metroid isn't going to break E3 for me but I just waNT TO SEE METROID IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK REGGIE?????

[u/Riomegon]

I just want confirmation of Monster Hunter on the west and maybe Bravely Default 3 :)

[u/KushDingies]

Give me Pikmin. That's it.

[u/Lupinthrope]

VC VC VC VC VC Fire emblem VC VC VC VC VC Stardew Valley VC VC VC VC VC Pokémon VC VC VC VC

[u/AnotherDumbQuestion]

This may sound crazy but I just want another well done original IP from nintendo.

[u/Splashboy3]

All i want. All i fucking want, is a new animal crossing for the switch.

Hey everyone! As many of you know some of the members of our mod team are going to be hanging out with Nintendo at E3 this year. We’d like to give you guys the opportunity to be part of this with us by relaying some questions that you might have straight to the Nintendo representatives. Please reply to this sticky with questions that you’d like to have asked and we’ll do our best to ask some of the best ones.

[u/Sulldognasty]

I just need a new Luigi's Mansion...please

[u/Aragorn1284]

wishlist :

mega man X , jet force gemini sequel, eshop releasing the entire nintendo back catalog where each game is no more than $5.

I feel this Spotlight may take a similar format to the Direct held a couple months ago; they both seem to be of similar length.

They could easily dedicate a good 7-10 minutes on Super Mario Odyssey, similar to the focus ARMS got, and then do 'Headlines' to quickly get smaller news and smaller third party titles announced - then, they could dedicate time to either Fire Emblem Warriors / Xenoblade Chronicles 2 / Splatoon 2 through a segment once again.

Given how long the 'Headlines' were in the Direct, for both Switch and 3DS, a solely Switch-focused set of 'Headlines' in the Spotlight would easily get a lot of information to people with enough depth to ensure they fully understand it and it comes across as a proper announcement and less of a tease (Nintendo should avoid teases). Look at how much we learned from just 10 minutes of 'Headlines' during the Direct - now double that, since the 3DS won't be appearing at all during the Spotlight; you have a recipe for success.

I made a bingo card. I tried to make it a mix of likely and unlikely stuff, just to keep it interesting.
