E3: 1 Week Away... Nintendo Predictions!

Since E3 is officially a week away, it's time for some predictions. Because of the disappointment of last year's E3, many of these predictions are probably the same as last years! Based on nothing but wishful thinking, release date timelines, and gaming knowledge,...here are my Nintendo predictions:

  • A teaser trailer for a new Wii Zelda title.
  • A new Pilotwings title (or plane flying will be included in Wii Sports Resort).
  • Pikmin 3
  • New Donkey Kong Wii
Let's see if any of these are right!

UPDATED: Well not bad, not bad. At this year's E3, Shigeru Miyamoto did debut new artwork for the upcoming Legend of Zelda Wii title. We also got confirmation that plane flying is in fact included in Wii Sports Resort (score!). Additionally, Miyamoto claimed that Pikmin 3 is still being developed, but the team working on that is small considering the bulk of the Nintendo team is spread pretty thin, working on new Mario and Zelda titles. And Donkey Kong? Well, again, it's just not his year. However, he will be a new playable character in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games.

So overall, I think I get an above average on my E3 report card!
