Rumor: Here’s what to expect from the E3 Nintendo Direct

More speculation on what's to come from Nintendo at this year's monumental E3 expo.
Some of these are a bit more believable than others.
What say you?

I might believe a little over half of what these rumors imply. That StarTropics rumor doesn't sound plausible. I don't even think Retro could get the rights to it, though I haven't even finished Zora's Revenge.
Nintendo looks like it's going all in with as much software as they can possibly muster either way it goes, specially for the holidays.

I sure would like to hear about a new StarFox or Metroid at some point.

"IGN praised the creative gameplay of StarTropics, calling it 'the natural evolution of the original Legend of Zelda.'"

>If true, maybe this is a Test to see if they can run Zelda. Miyamoto has joked that RETRO might do the Next Zelda.<

But like YOU said:
"I sure would like to hear about a new StarFox or Metroid at some point."

I agree. "Well Said"

or it could be "Raven Blade"

Raven Blade was a Retro project that got cancelled by Nintendo- I heard it was because the game looked better than it could play.

It was one of the reasons I bought a GC-
But MPs made me forget.

Nintendo owns the rights. It's a Nintendo IP and the the games in the series were both published and developed by them.

Are you trying to give me a heart attack? haha

An all new 3D Metroid. :p *ahhhhhhh heaven*

Moonman3999d ago (Edited 3999d ago )

This all sounds awesome!!!!!!! But for Mario Kart U, I'm sure Nintendo has grand ideas for that!

kirbyu3998d ago

This would be awesome. I've never heard of Star Tropics so I hope Retro's game isn't that, but the rest sounds great.

PopRocks3593998d ago

Even if it is, it probably wouldn't be bad, you know. Retro's games are pretty stellar. I've yet to see them produce any crap.

wampdog293998d ago

You need to do whatever you can to play one of those two Star Tropics games. They really are great. It's such an old IP without any mention in years that a lot of gamers probably never played it. It definitely needs a come back. It would definitely fill the Zelda gap between games.

Realplaya3997d ago

No insult but how old are you?That game is a classic the story was great and it was a game that was rated up there with the old school Zelda games. I would recommend youtubing the game for footage. If Retro could get a hold of this game I could only imagine what could happen.

kirbyu3997d ago

I'll be 17 in September.

ziggurcat3998d ago

there's not much to expect when it's behind closed doors...

The Meerkat3998d ago

If only MS had done that last week.
I'd have rather stared at a closed door for 1 hour.

Summons753998d ago

Behind closed doors.....with multiple Nintendo directs about everything that will be at e3 and all the demos going to a bunch of best buys around the country for the public to view and an open conference letting the media get to demo the games while they give the conference while every other major conference will be a staged and scripted event.

Try hard next time.

E3 is going to be great for all company's this year

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic8d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

Z50116d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga16d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos16d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas16d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj16d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger15d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
