Who here follows E3 news?
Before it starts in a few days, I'll ask what do people here expect this year?
I doubt there'll be any new consoles announced this year. The Wii U hasn't been doing that well but a new one this early wouldn't be a good move.
(Maybe it's just the Mario Kart 8 hype but it seems like a lot of people have been getting Wii Us recently)
What I do expect from Nintendo is more information on SSB4, the gen 3 Pokémon remakes, and hopefully at least one new Mario or Zelda.
I'm still hoping for a Starfox game on the Wii
Also I read elsewhere that apparently Satoru Iwata won't be attending because of health reasons :(
I don't follow other companies that closely but I expect Ubisoft will show off the next Assassin's Creed.
Other than that there'll be the usual really impressive looking trailers that overhype the game end up being nothing like the finished product, along with embarrassing moments for some of the people doing the presentations that the internet will make fun of.

Has anyone else noticed that Nintendo's trailers pretty much always follow the same formula?
They start off showing what series this game is. If it's Mario it'll show him jumping about, if it's Mario Kart they'll show them at the starting line. Then it picks up pace and shows some of the things that make this game slightly different from the previous games. This is usually showing new characters you can play as, or showing off what kinds of level designs they can do these days.
Then about half way through they introduce the main gimmick the entire rest of the trailer focuses on and makes it seem like the game is based solely on it (Mario Kart 7 had gliding, MK8 had antigrav, Super Mario 3D Land had the return of the tanooki suit, SM3D World had the cat suit)
The format of the trailers themselves doesn't bother me so much as the fact that it highlights the problem that they overstate how amazing these new features apparently are.
That said, at least it's better than Sega's trailer format of having that typical deep voiced American accent man that you might expect on movie trailers that talks over the entire trailer and tells you what the new features rather than simply showing you.
