We are definitely approaching 2D Zelda time. It's been 3 years since the engine-and-asset-reusing Triforce Heroes.

Going in with expectations of very little in terms of newly revealed games actually. Well save for the leaked stuff from last week. xD

Would love to be wrong and they do reveal one of their big 2019 games (can dream for Prime 4)

Want to hear more about their online services.

I'll honestly be satisfied with Smash Bros info at least. Everything else is a bonus.

2019 is going to be interesting either way

I wouldn't get your hopes up on big 1st party releases. Expect most to be games already confirmed/announced so far. They do save their big guns for E3.

Except they don't.

Smash, Pokemon, Breath of the Wild, Bayonetta 3, A Link between worlds ... were all announed outside of E3 and I don't count the January Switch presentation.

Botw was announced at e3.

But yeah, nintendo doesn't care about saving stuff from e3. We've seen this the past few years. Dunno why it keeps getting said

yeah Nintendo hasn't really revealed anything of note at e3 for a while now. They often have the full blowout but very rarely the reveals

was it? I thought it was at the game awards.

No, that was the first gameplay demo, which sucked.

Aonuma talked about BotW and what he wanted to do with this game during the 2013 January Direct. But yeah no footage.

Oh right, that first look and the cutscene was e3. But didn't Aonuma talk about it first in that January direct that announced Wind Waker HD?

I hate the fact that I'll be in the university at the time. I'm going to get all the spoilers when I get at home instead of seeing all in live. haha

Yeah, I personally don't count it as the "official" announcement. Especially for sequels we know are coming.

For instance, when Pikmin 4 gets a trailer, or screenshots & PR, that's when it's announced. Not e3 2014 or however many years ago miyamoto talked about it lol.

Or Star Fox Zero's announcement was E3 2015 for me. Not the blurred tease at e3 2014, or when the project was first talked about in like 2010 or 2011(?). Or even people playing it behind closed doors at E3 2014 wouldn't count for me.

could be a me thing.

If we're ever going to get Mother 3 it'll definitely be called Earthbound: Endings.

And then Nintendo can release a $60 collection of the three entitled Earthbound: Beginnings, Middles, and Endings.

That would be hilarious if a stone-cold classic like EarthBound was rebranded "EarthBound: Middles," lol

I like that idea. Even better - add optional remasters that have the claymation aesthetic of some of the promotional art.

It's a better choice than Earthbound: Mediocre or Earthbound: Ehhhhh...

Never gonna happen, but damn would it be amazing. They should add in fully orchestrated music and give lyrics to the songs that should have them as well.

Why wouldn't they have DLC on one of their biggest title when they've been doubling down on DLC
Because Sakurai is tired and might want to take a long vacation from Smash!

Yeah, I don't get the people who say that. He even said before that developing DLC was much less tiring than the main game development.
