Despite the success of Wii Fit and other casual titles, the company's hardcore fanbase is clamouring for games, and there's no doubt that fingers will be crossed for certain key franchises - particularly those involving Link and that chap with the 'tache. We've assembled a list of potential announcements that would make us very happy indeed, using the Tightrope of Realism to cross the Deep Gorge of Blind Optimism. And look! We only fell in once or twice…"
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Tears of the Kingdom may be about to become everyone's new favorite, but there's one DS game that deserves more shine.
At e3 Nintendo should show some Zelda and Mario games for the Wii . I do agree with article it should have a light saber game with motion plus. But i wonder if at e3 there will be some new hardware for Wii. Something people will get excited over.
With all that I'm sure the haters would still find a reason to hate.
DSi will probably get more attention from Nintendo, but I think the third parties will be making more noise on the Wii. I could be wrong of course.
But as for Zelda, I don't think its needed right now. I think people hold this idea that "if Nintendo doesn't show off a new Zelda then their E3 sucks" is ridiculous. Also if they do show off a new Zelda the new hater phrase will be "besides Zelda Nintendo doesn't have any games for the hardcore". Not that I care what they say, I'm just pointing it out.
I'd rather them bring out a Wave Race of Starfox or Icarus, then maybe next year throw Link back in action, the longer it takes the more polish it'll have. How many years was it after A Link to The Past did we get Ocarina of Time? The wait was worth it.
I took E3 for what it was last year, the show was downsized considerably, I don't think it was as bad as people here complained it was. It was a weak show, a shell of its former self. This year seems like a return to glory though, we'll see. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
I'm still waiting for F-Zero.
sry bro u just missed something, and i think its the most important,
*dont put Cammie Dunaway on E3*
