On Gametrailers a few weeks ago, the staff interviewed Reggie Fils-Aime on what Nintendo has in store for wii owners in the second half of 08'. Reggie responded by saying that there will be a huge, hype-worthy game to be released during the holiday season that will be revealed for the first time ever at E3 2008. Now with clock ticking down to only a couple weeks, I am brimming with excitement over what game it will be. Mr. Fils-Aime said that the game (or games?) would be maximizing all of their key franchises, meaning that we will be seeing a lot of Mario, Zelda, Samus, DK, and more. Please post what type of game you think it will be and why. I think it will be a sequel to Super Mario Galaxy because of Galaxy's success (hopefully Galaxy 2 will be at least half as amazing as the original), or it will be a new Zelda game, perhaps one that finally ties up Link's ambiguous story.

sorry, this was meant to be in the wii forums!:oops:

BTW, I care! im a mad nintendo junkie! If i don't get my annual dose of first party nintendo characters like Mario, i could go into depression.... JK! But seriously, I care. Nintendo makes amazing first party titles like Twilight Princess, Corruption, and Galaxy each year. It's awesome to see what they bring out every single time.

Right now, my expectations from them are so low, just about anything will do, because I haven't played my Wii in months.

It's gotta be a new Zelda. Cause that means It will come out like 2-3 years from now. I gotta say this will be the first time that I won't be excited for a Zelda announcement if true.

I'm calling it here right now:

they're coming out with an rpg similar to kingdom hearts but with all of their major characters. Hopefully, square is helping out with this as well.

i think that if it is a Zelda game it will come out around Winter 08. Twilight Princess first released about 2 years ago, and it only took porting the code and playing around a bit for Nintendo to bring it to the Wii. Plus Nintendo releases info on games only months before they go on sale. Thus, in response to wayne, I think you can expect your new Zelda fix much sooner than 2-3 years down the line. Mario Party 9 might come out, but that is basically a collection of mini games, which is probably easy to make and thus won't be the 2-3 years in the making title Reggie was talking about. Plus it doesn't exactly maximize on key franchises; it just uses them to make money off casual players.

Oh yeah... the rumored Avatars... the motion control... so much potential! Who cares what Nintendo does though, right?

If MS really does show those things at E3, it will bring a new meaning to the word, "Wii60".

I really hope not another Zelda.

Disaster and Animal Crossing are games to look forward to, and the already announced Donkey Kong 64 sequel for Wii should be coming up eventually.

I actually think Sony will get alot of attention this year. They have a great opportunity to look great, with 2.40 and the rumored GOW3 trailer.

I'm not knocking MS, they have just as much potential as everyone else to "wow" us, but I dont think they have the most potential at all.

all of those other games you've listed don't come close to matching the quality of the zelda series.

They'll be re-releasing E.T. for the Wii, with all the guns replaced by Nintendo-characters.

I hope so. They need to make up for their crappy showing last year. Their big surprises better noe be sequels to wiisports and wiiplay.

Let's see some new franchises, or even a new Donkey Kong platformer

ok, i think carl's avatar should change:lol:, but that's besides the point. first of all i would be mortified if the big title turns out to be Animal Crossing Wii; it's just not big enough or cool enough. Mario in space was cool. That's what Nintendo needs to repeat. Plus, I would like to ask Willy105 where he got that info on a Donkey Kong 64 sequel for the Wii. Though I imagine that Nintendo will announce another title altogether at E3, if that info you got was true, than Willie my friend you have me interested! Please post the url or name of the source of this information if possible.

Zelda needs a break... actually, I don't want to hear any announcements from the big 3 franchises. Besides F-Zero, I hope Nintendo invests in some new IPs.
