e3 Predictions (Goldeneye Wii)

[soccerant]

Kevin Butler will show up and Sony will win the conference because of it.

As far as Nintendo goes, we'll see their Vitality Sensor used, and my guess is that it'll be packed in with Wii Party, similar to the packaging of Resort/MotionPlus, WiiBo/Wii Fit, and Wii Play/Wiimote.

"Fall of Hyrule" sounds like fanfiction. Most Zelda subtitles deal with a main character or a critical item. My guess is that the title will deal with this woman/Master Sword. Hopefully we'll also see a Pikmin 3 reveal.

Nintendo missed a huge opportunity when they decided to launch a new Pokemon game for the DSi instead of the 3DS. The 3DS will sell, but can you imagine the damage it would deal if Pokemon was the title bundled, much less launched with it? They have another opportunity with a Mario Kart launch title, so here's hoping they do the smart thing in that situation.

We'll see more hands-on with Natal in some core-oriented games, but I'm still skeptical. The technology's fantastic, but it's less practical than Wii motion is for core games. No buttons? No tangible asset to hold on to where things like golf/baseball are concerned? Movement is limited to what I can do in real life? I'll pass. If Microsoft leans more towards Natal=accessible games rather than Natal=the new way to play, then they'll be heading down the right track.

This.

But ya, I agree with this probably going to be a pretty exciting E3. With all the new hardware introduced, it's going to be time to show off the big guns. Hoping for some cool Natal stuff - really eager to see what Rare is up to.

All I want from Nintendo is something-Zelda. Anything. It seems like we're gonna get something good, too. Looking forward to it.

And with Sony...meh. I'm not too excited about anything coming their way. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised. And again, KB please.

Not really a prediction, but guess could be used as a pre-e3 thread as well.
