[London Geezer]

Kingdom hearts 3!!!

 

[BRiT]

*AHEM* There's multiple existing threads out there to discuss the entire "E3, Dev Kit, PC or Console", so keep that topic out of this one.

 

[zed]

Heres one for nintendo.
- the announcement of the wii U successor (plays all wii U games)

edit 22/5 then again Ive just seen mario kart 8 for the wii U is coming out soon (mk7 was biggest game on wii) so I expect they'll be waiting to see how that does first before announcing anything

 

[Brad Grenz]

Given the co-marketing in the leaked Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trailer, I have to assume now I'm wrong about CoD not being on stage at the MS press conference.

 

[Rangers]

Heres one for nintendo.
- the announcement of the wii U successor (plays all wii U games)

I realize there's a rumor frenzy around this, but I cant see it happening for many reasons. In short, seems like wishful thinking.

I'm not aware of even the uber secretive Nintendo being able to hide a actual new console. The Wii U leaked out, if I recall, maybe around February of 2012. Plus, they are still in the midst of making Wii U games.

 

[Deleted member 86764]

I have to agree that it's quite unlikely. I'll chalk it up under 'out-there'.

 

[BoardBonobo]

I hope you were being sarcastic That Fusion specs is so much fanboy nonsense.

Anyways Nintendo has now said they're not showing new hardware at E3. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/461875/no-nintendo-hardware-reveal-at-e3-company-confirms/

Nintendo will not be revealing new hardware at E3, the company has confirmed to CVG.

On Thursday reports emerged suggesting the corporation would announce a new platform, or a new iteration of a current platform, during the Los Angeles games event.

This cues the typical GAF comments of "right, they'll reveal it just before e3" and "Nintendo next gen hardware at E3 confirmed".

 

[liolio]

Indeed those specs are a joke. I will remember not to ever read things from nowgamer, how can you let that kind of crap out with a straight face

 

[London Geezer]

It's all about the Holographic storage baby! Long live cartridges!

 

[BoardBonobo]

I forgot the sarcasm! Sorry

Those specs are now saturating the news feeds and everyone is talking as though Nintendo are going to sell this @ £200...

Smell the desperation...

 

[zupallinere]

I could see a new 3ds replacement that interacted with the Wii U in a more intimate way but a "new Wii U" ?? Even if the Wii U games are forward compatible it would savage any interest in a product that they are trying to sell out of. A price cut maybe before that happens ;-D

Holograph...

 

[Deleted member 86764]

It's absurd, the WiiU has only been out for a little over two years. I'm also pretty sure that NowGamer reported Misterxmedia's nonsense in an article too, so this should be taken with a hand full of salt.

 

[DieH@rd]

No press conference = no new hardware. It would be suicide to announce new device to the world without press being present to test new hardware that is chained to the army of cute girl presenters.

 

[Rangers]

What I like is I feel like/hope we're about to get a busy month of pre-E3 reveals already. It started with the COD AW trailer, has continued with Mark Rein teasing the future of Unreal Tournament, etc. I imagine we'll get quite a few more big pre-E3 reveals, such as the new Battlefield I presume.

Also, 37 days left...

 

[DieH@rd]

^ also Drive Club "relaunch" and leak of Project Beast

 

[XpiderMX]

And Sunset Overdrive hands-on next week.

 

[Cjail]

No press conference = no new hardware.

This.

 

[Wulfer]

I'd like to add a Re-make or re-mastered Star Wars Knights: of the Old Republic release since MS has a deal with EA.
