I wish they hadn't spent half that chat talking about Aonuma's obvious joke.

I can imagine a Nintendo Direct is a month or so with a 3DS hardware revision and loads of games. That's exactly what they did two years ago right after E3. I guess they wanted to focus on Wii U at the expo.

Considering there are 20x more Wii's out there than Wii Us it's not a huge surprise

Not sure my heart can handle TWO new Nintendo IP in one E3!

Splatoon really is a breath of fresh air. Fantastic looking game and really nice to see some new and different Nintendo IP.

Good to hear from Reggie that it's a proper retail game with plenty of depth. I like the variety of levels on show too. The ones in 3D World were great but they were all cube shaped and similar.

Audrey's cool but my ears are thankful that segment is over.

Pick axe frenzy Toad on that amazing train level!

What's being announced at 12? I thought the 3DS thing was at 2?

While we're at it, let's have a Digital Event every week of the year with brand new game announcements in each and every one!!!!

I get the feeling they need the extra time to sort out the online functionality? I can't believe they would release this without an option to upload and view everyone else's levels? Sort of like in Little Big Planet. Add in ratings and it would be amazing.

Uh oh, no Metroid pin on Reggie!

Affordable Space Adventures looks amazing!! Again, I would never have noticed that if it weren't for these live demos!

I agree with the above two posts. All I want is the first level of Starfox Assault, twenty of those, with traditional controllers Must admit I brought the Miyamoto stuff was the low point of yesterday. I also expected him to be much further along with his project(s).

Did they reveal any new first party 3DS games yesterday? Apart from more info about Pokemon I'm struggling to think of anything else?

I love that idea but I think it might open them up to a huge amount of criticism

Aonuma knows exactly what makes Zelda so special, I'm sure we can trust him to deliver. All he's talked about is taking the series back to its open world NES roots, which is a great thing IMO. Just think back to Skyward Sword's ultra linear, disconnected world, do you really want that again with a glorified level select hub world?

It has to be Metroid 3DS. Reggie's comment to IGN about how he'd be wearing his Metroid pin tomorrow (today) all but confirmed it.

I just hope there's a single player campaign as well.

As much as I like the feature, when they switched between 8 bit and the SMBU art style, it made me realise just how ugly the latter is

So I make that on Wii U... September: Hyrule Warriors October: Bayonetta 2 November: Captain Toad December: Smash Not sure about July and August though. Maybe some MK8 DLC would help. The 3DS schedule is looking pretty barren after an amazing 2013 though. Looks like Wii U will be full of stuff in 2015.

Great detective work! It is the same wall and those extra characters seem like they'd be very hard to Photoshop. I reckon it's legit now.

Do we know what time the 3DS roundtable starts ? Hoping for a big reveal.

I wonder how big this game will be, can we expect it to be similar in scope to Mario 3D World where there's 80ish levels ? I actually think this might have been better suited to the 3DS, where you play a quick level or two every so often. I'll gladly accept the HD treatment though

2014 thankfully
