Nintendo to unveil several 'Core' titles at E3

Nintendo could be unveiling several games for the Wii that will appear to its core fan base at this year's E3, according to comments from a company spokesperson.

Marc Franklin, director of public relations at Nintendo, told GamePro "…we will be announcing several new titles that core gamers will be interested in around the time of E3."

I'm guessing that Core is a code word for games that gamers won't like and their grandparents will.psychot50

You mean "hardcore gamers," as anyone who plays video games is a gamer.

One thing: enough with the agist comment please.

He was joking (at least I think). He's saying that what Nintendo describes as a game that will be for their hardcore followers, will actually turn out to be a casual game that everyone but that audience will enjoy.

Personally I'm not crossing my fingers for anything *cough* Zelda *cough*, because I don't want to be dissapointed. I'm just going to wait and see.

No it's the other way around!

I'm going to laugh when it's Fatal Frame IV and Disaster: Day of Crisis.

And laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.

I will be watching to see more footage of Dokapon Kingdom. If Nintendo scrubs Mario Party for the second year running then they need to advertise that game.

I hope a new Star Fox "barrel rolls" its way into E3. :lol:Lord_Omikron666

That would mean avoids E3 to prevent taking damage. I think you would prefer "blasts the doors open" on E3.

Wouldn't it be the opposite?
I know Nintendo's lingo.
If they meant what you said they would have said "Casual" gamers
By core gamers they mean people like you and I
Who couldn't care less about Brain Age, we just want more Zelda!

Imo, Nintendo has been on a roll recently. There was a period there where the games were just so-so. Super Mario Sunshine and Metroid Prime 2 are good examples, to me. Prime 2 just wasn't worth beating to me, and Sunshine was a massive disappointment.

But recently, the new Zelda, new Metroid, new Mario, new Brawl, new Mario Kart, new game with 'Wii' in the title... They've all been pretty freaking awesome. So I think Nintendo should see if they can spread the love of the awesome games to other franchises that have kind of been in the dark for awhile, or just don't have a Wii rendition.

Suggestions for this: Star Fox, F-Zero, Animal Crossing, EarthBound, Kid Icarus, Pikmin, and Donkey Kong. These could all turn out spectacular and much different from Nintendo's norm. There's a lot of potential in these franchises that hasn't been tapped in quite some time. Or alternately Nintendo should really get one more franchise going with real fighting involved, if they're going for the hardcore crowd. Because if you look at it, Zelda, Metroid and Brawl are the only games alive with real fighting involved (Mario hardly counts, but then, Galaxy was amazing).

This could help Smash out too. The devs said themselves Nintendo hasn't made a game franchise with fighting characters since Pikmin, which is why they added third party characters in. Kid Icarus could fit the bill, for that matter.

That's not to say I don't want a new Zelda :) but more franchises to look forward to could be a major asset to bringing in the hardcore crowd, which is currently the Wii's only real issue. And that could even lead to third parties putting more effort into Wii titles, and not giving us lousy PS2 ports that look worse than Gamecube games (*cough* Guitar Hero *cough*). Let's get this snowball rolling, big N!

My best guesses:

• I don't know why, but I'm feeling a new Star Fox shooter more than other franchises. It just seems the most likely right now. That series also really needs a revial.
• A new IP all together.

No complaints from me, either way!

I'd like a Geist 2, maybe an Eternal Darkness 2 too.JAB991

Should I pick up Geist and Eternal Darkness on Gamecube? I hear good things about both, but I'm wondering if they're really worth the money, especially by today's standards.

I saw Geist today for $5 NEW, so just pick it up to try it out. It's good, and that price is a steal. As for Eternal Darkness, run out NOW and get it. That game's incredible. It got Editor's Choice back when people respected GS's reviews.

Yeah Eternal Darkness sounds amazing, it gets like universally awesome reviews. And Geist got good scores too and sounds fun... Wasn't it like first or second party? An M title from Nintendo is reason enough to get it, just to see what happens when they do it.

Disaster will be talked about- I'm almost sure of that. Even if it's just a release date.

PROJECT H.A.M.M.E.R. was recently pronounced "alive" so that might be there.

***Kid Icarus is a huge possibility from what the "internet says" haha****

Star Fox has been in developement for awhile now, so it'll most likely be talked about if not shown

Animal Crossing will most likely make an appearance

Pikmin will at least be mentione.

***There has been alot of people talking about a DK platformer (but I honestly dought it, mostly wishful thinking imo) ***

***could be some Sadness news***

(anything with ***...*** is a rarety imo.)

most lickely

.new zelda

.pikmin 3

.kid icarus

.disaster

.new IP

Yeah, Eternal Darkness was a second-party title, back when Silicon Knights was a second-party company. Nintendo still owns all the rights to the game though, so the call about a sequel should be up to them (not sure 100% on that though).

My wish list:

A new (and awesome) Star Fox, like Star Fox 64 but longer and with loads of extra challenges and unlockables

A 3D Yoshi platformer

An epic, first-party RPG (as a new IP)

And a new Metroid

Also, I'm looking forward to loads of details on Disaster:DoC.

when is E3 exactly?wiifan001

July. I believe on the 14th.

All I need is a new Zelda unveiled, with pictures, and hopefully teaser trailer, (could be remake of OoT, I don't care, as long as it's good) and DK 64 sequel was confirmed by Nintendo (supposedly) but too bad they don't own RARE anymore.

A new Starfox is good, too, Pikmin 3, that's pretty much all I want.

.Oh yeah, and this is probably not gonna happen, but a new F-Zero would be insane. (BTW I happe to like Jungle Beat, except I lost my bongos/w/e they are, and I don't have DK 64 anymore. SO PLEASE, NINTENDO, SHOW SOME GOOD DK, NOT THIS BARREL BLAST TRASH.
