E3 2011 Predictions

[alienjesus]

Inazuma's wish list for the next Nintendo console:
- Fuck censorship.

Given your past comments about censorship, I've always wondered how you can boycott Sony for DRM and what not, but not Nintendo for their longstanding censorship of anything more mature than killing zombies. M-rated games for Ninetendo consoles are far and few between, and I believe they are all third party and all relatively tame.

Granted, more "explicit" games on other platforms aren't venturing into hardcore porn, but there is a lot more nudity,"cursing", and gratuitous violence on those consoles made by companies you choose to boycott.

Yes, they're generally 3rd party, but I think nintendo have long since dialed back on the censorship. Resident Evil 4? Eternal Darkness? House of the Dead overkill? Manhunt 2? Madworld? They're hardly heavily censored games.


Also, I dont really care about the censorship tbh. None of the above game especially appeal to me, although i'd happily play some if offered (not Manhunt 2 though. urgh).



Anyway, my predictions (mostly Nintendo, because I only own their current gen hardware)

Pikmin 3 is shown for Wii (if it isn;t then it's vapourware). Lots of pikmin love lately (on 3DS), so I'm hopeful.
Several 3DS games are shown which have already come out (nintendo manage to do this every year).
Mario 3DS shown in more detail
New trailer for Zelda SS and OoT 3D. 'Celebrating links birthday' blahblahblah
Releasing Gold 3DS/Wii to celebrate zelda anniversery.
New trailer for the new kirby game for wii
lots of trailers for already announced 3DS games, esp. Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart
Some Wii..... Game (aka fit, party, play, sports).

Hopefully F Zero or Starfox, but im skeptical
3rd party stuff. Last story. Xenoblade Chronicles. Resident Evil revelations.


After all the stuff announced last year, I'm skeptical Nintendo can follow it up. I foresee a lot of already announced games.


Biggest Wish: Zelda 4 Swords 3DS, with online multiplayer. The 2 screens are perfect, the timing (zelda 25th anniversery) would be perfect, and it would promote their improved online nicely. It'll never happen though.

If the Wii2 is announced, I'd like things to be account-based so you can move things from console to console. DVD playback and a unified friend code would be nice too, and if it's possible some way to move old wii friend codes to your new one. HDMI support would be nice, but not a necessity. It'd free up some wire space though.

I bet we will see Ono and probably a Blanka doll.

A Wii 2 would be HD. There's be pretty much no point to it otherwise.

If nintendo were REALLY cool they'd have internal upscaling for wii games. I mean increasing the resolution that everything is rendered at, not just upscaling the output image.

PIKMIN 3 IS ALL I CARE ABOUT!

[ZeroAX]

What I care for? Half Life 3 or at least episode 3. What I'll get? Disappointment

[YoshiEgg25]

Banjo-Threeie for 3DS.

A boy can dream...

Banjo-Threeie for 3DS.

I'd love to see if any work is being done on Sly 4 (if it is being worked on) and and some possible info on the new Kingdom Hearts game.

I won't be surprised if they don't announce a Wii successor with all the attention set on the 3DS. But, really, I think it's about time for the next Nintendo console. Actually, I don't think they'll announce the 'Wii 2' at all, not with the current games lined up.

[Weekend_Warrior]

Well, I think the Wii has pretty much had it. I don't think it has any magic left. Despite its high number of console sales and first-party games, I'm almost certain that most of the third-party developers were very underwhelmed with the power of the Wii and the sales of their games.

Also, let's not forget all the dreaded shovelware. Nintendo really needs to show some restraint there in the future! I mean, if I were a third-party developer I would have had concerns about my efforts being mixed in and lost within all the mass amounts of crap on the shelves at places like Walmart & Best Buy, too! Wouldn't you?
