Nintendo Will Show a Previously Announced Game at VGX

Game Informer has clarified that Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime will be showcasing a previously announced Wii U game at the VGX awards. There was a little confusion on Twitter regarding whether it was an unannounced game, or one that has been previously revealed by Nintendo. Most people bets appear to be on Reggie showing off Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Game Informer has partnered with Spike TV to host the live stream on their site.

Surprising Smash Bros announcement, perhaps?

[nosferatuzodd]

nah something completely new i hope

[porkChop]

It's not completely new considering it's a "previously announced" game.

[UltimateMaster]

New content from the game X? Metroid or the new Zelda HD? I'm just hoping.

[guitarded77]

@ UltimateMaster

I wouldn't hope too much, or you'll probably be let down. X isn't a big Western market title, and they haven't really "announced" the new Metroid or Zelda games.

They said they're working on the next iteration of Zelda, but haven't formally announced a title or anything. My guess is Smash Bros. It does well in the West, and it's a high action title, which is what they like to push at the VGA/X. Possible Mario Kart or DK Country. Highly doubt it's either though... even less likely is Yoshi Yarn. It just doesn't stand out among the big action games at the show.

But it's all speculation, so I could be wrong. I just wouldn't get my hopes up to see the games you listed... even though they are the games I would most want to see too :D

[abzdine]

thinking of X as some of you in here.
it has been revealed at VGAs last year if i remember well.

[R6ex]

Bayonetta 2?

[Sono421]

It BETTER be the next smash bros because so little is known about it.. sure every once in a blue moon they update the roster on the official site but that's about it.. oh and they do the pic of the day but that's useless.. and unless i'm mistaken it's supposed to come out Q1 or Q2 of next year.. so were due for some real info.

[admiralvic]

I am expecting it to be X ( http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii... ) and THAT is the reason they changed it from VGA to VGX. Let me have my conspiracies!

[solboogie]

That would just make my day!

[LOL_WUT]

I hope it's Zelda in a way they kinda did show it off with that tech demo fingers crossed ;)

[ritsuka666]

It will be Cranky Kong.

[Deadpoolio]

PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED GAME....Not a game they said they were working on when the announced an HD remake...Hell all the said was that they were going to be working on one.....Meaning it's probably still just having ideas kicked around on what/how they want to do it....

You might as well count on a 99.9% probability that the game is DK Tropical Freeze

[Kalebninja]

That's not all they said they were going to show it at e3 but they decided to wait this is definitely the time

[Metallox]

The Zelda game for Wii U was announced, which is not the same to be revealed.

[JackieCruise69]

It makes sense that they'd show Zelda. They held it off at E3 AND Comic-con. This is the perfect opportunity to finally show the real game. Plus Aonuma has been talking about it a lot lately.

And now that I think about it, they did say "another look at a previously announced game" since you mention the tech demo... maybe that could count towards the whole 'another look' thing.

I'm hoping for it more than anything.

[CrossingEden]

Realistic Zelda just doesn't resonate with me the way it resonates with the younger fans of the series. Sure it's pretty but the more realistic a game looks the worse it'll look overtime, compared to things that are highly stylized that Skyward Sword(the best one yet imo) and wind waker, (which even on the original gamecube, still looks amazing).

[Thepcz]

the new zelda game for wiiu

cooking with link: hyrule recepies

[stuna1]

It'll probably be "X".

[Reeze]

That makes sense; it would be kind of strange for them to show Donkey Kong.

1. We already know the fourth character.
2. It's VGX!

I'm actually really excited for X and I've never even been into that type of game. It looks amazing.

[stuna1]

Yeah it does! Plus I think it will definitely showcase what the WII U is capable of as a next gen console.

[donman1]

It would make perfect sense for it to be "X".

[Shnazzyone]

Yeah, I agree and god damn.. I hope it is. I so wanna see more of that game.

[Clippy]

It be better if it was an unannounced game. That's what I want to see

[-Foxtrot]

If it's been announced fine...but at least at the end to make it worthwhile, your at the VGA's for god sake, announce the release dates for Mario Kart and Smash Bros

[Reeze]

Yeah, I really hope they use this to their advantage.

Crossing my fingers that they make this announcement worthwhile. It could do so much good for them.

[paleselan]

Zelda counts, right?

[KonsoruMasuta]

I hope it's either X or Zelda.

Those are the things I want to know about the most.

[PygmelionHunter]

Those and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, which would also make sense, seeing how this is the VGX.

[betan21]

They better show something good..cuz that wii U isnt doing too well so far.

[TheVideoGamHer]

Actually, Wii U sales are climbing. Not baby steps, not sprint out of the gate, but climbing.

[Zodiac]

I would like to see X,Zelda, or some new Smash Bros stuff.

I like Donkey Kong as much as the next guy, but a Nintendo Direct would do just fine for new Dk info, so i'm really hoping it's not just another Donkey Kong trailer.

[_QQ_]

Zelda Counts I hope, If not i want X, must be X.

[LOL_WUT]

I'd rather it be Zelda all you guys can disagree all you want but Nintendo has never showed up at the VGA's so it must be something good ;)

[Thepcz]

they will announce a new f zero game for wiiu

cooking with captain falcon: mute city recipies

[Amigaengine]

Yoshi's Yarn :P

[DarkBlood]

does anyone know when the show starts and at what channel on rogers or will this pop up live on the internet?

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

I'm betting on more DKTF info simply because there's been leaked rumors of the 4th playable character for so long now, so it would make sense to do the official reveal at VGX.
But I'm hoping I'm wrong and that they'll do more info on either X or Smash Bros.

The worst thing they could do would be to do more info on the new Kirby or Yarn Yoshi. Yarn Yoshi doesn't look like a game I'd buy into and the new Kirby game...well, I'm still reserving judgement on that, but I'll tell you now that I would be much more excited for new info on X from Monolith Soft.

[Metallox]

DK Tropical Freeze doesn't fit with the show's tone, but still, who knows.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Yeah, I can agree with it not fitting the tone of the show, but then again, Nintendo is known for doing things out of the norm, right?
I guess we'll have to see.....
The show is supposed to start at 3PM Pacific time tomorrow, so I guess we don't have that long to wait...

[snake_charmer]

Maybe its SMT X Fire Emblem

[KonsoruMasuta]

I forgot all about that one. I really want to hear about that.

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

Ooo, there's a thought. We haven't heard hide nor hair of info about that game for quite a while...
I'm not much of a strategy RPG nut, but I can't deny the appeal that kind of game would have to fans of the genre.

[leahcim]

X!!!!!

please!!

ok nintendo show me some X new gameplay then I will buy your dying console.

[JackieCruise69]

I hope it's X, Zelda U, Smash, or SMTxFE.
Those are the only games I figured would be suitable for this kind of thing.

Even if X isn't the announcment, I'd like to see some more footage. Maybe a name?

Smash, if they show anything, I'd hope a newcomer is announced, more footage shown if possible.

SMTxFE. Haven't even seen a proper trailer for this game yet! I really would like some gameplay.. even screenshots would be nice.

Zelda U? That'd be a dream to finally be able to see it. This seems like the most appropriate to show.. a lot of people know about Zelda, so it's not like people would be confused. And if it's more 'mature' looking? It'll be a hit.

EDIT: Forgot to add Bayonetta 2. Her game is upcoming and it seems like it'd be a good choice to show seeing as there's a fanbase for it in the Sony and Micro crowd. it'd be another possibility.

[Kalebninja]

They're so stupid if its only one game. If they want to make a good impression they would show both x and Zelda at least

[TripC50]

I just finished Link between worlds and found all those snails or whatever... i need more Zelda.

[310dodo]

hoping its a realistic Zelda or a new StarFox

but I wouldnt be surprised if its Nintendoland 2 or someshit

[Retroman]

anyone know when spike tv air VGX????

[Paolo11]

Nintendo, please grace us with information and trailer for Monolith Soft's "X". That is the game we want.

[stragomccloud]

Well that's a shame, but hopefully it'll be Zelda or X.

[Xof]

Hasn't anyone learned by now? It's always a terrible idea to get your hopes up when it comes to ANY of the big three--Nintendo most of all.

[LAWSON72]

Donkey King country confirmed. They are saving the new Zelda for E3... oh wait no they are saving it for their stupid direct event everyone watches. Whoever makes decisions at Nintendo needs to consider a new career because they have an opportunity to get people hyped but they are not going to take advantage of it. The Zelda franchise is like FF before the doubt in Squares ability to make FF games. The crowd sees a new impressive Zelda Nintendo would win the hearts of millions something they have yet to do when it comes to the Wii U

[RPG_Lover]

You make no sense

[ScubaSteve1]

ever since donkey kong got delayed. it seems it could be donkey kong. but i am not getting my hopes up

[SpadeX]

Either Bayonetta 2 or X.

[kingcasper]

no one cares tho..

no one ever bought a WII U

[nerdman67]

Zelda?
I could only hope.
Technically it has been announced, so I do not get why not

[juaburg]

PLEAAAAASE BE X!!!!!

[CAB1802theWiiUdefend]

Since this is a closer release to Donkey Kong, i think Reggie is gonna announce Donkey Kong

[TheDivine]

I would think they would show Bayanetta 2 to try to let the mainstream market know the WiiU has games like it. Everyone already knows it has DKC, Mario, Zelda, exc. I think the new Zelda will be saved for e3.

X and SMT X Fire Emblem would be great choices but Bayanetta 2 would be the best for gaining exposure outside of established Nintendo fans (the only ones buying the console at the moment).
