This.

By the time they start talking I will be on my way to work... raaaage, not really. When I get back home, the only thing I want to see is Zelda news all over the interwebs.

I'm setting my expectation at Reggie lighting a cigar with a wad of $100 bills as the entire summit.

This way, I'm not disappointed no matter what comes out of this.

I'm fully on board the hype train and am expecting to see my expectations dashed into a million tiny pieces.

Expected (Joke) Headlines:

Wii Zelda Nowhere to be Seen
Iwata says it will come out "When it's ready."

Metroid: Other M to Feature Horrible, Horrible Voice Acting
Samus will be played by Fran Drescher

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Will Feature Yoshi
But we already knew that

Bioshock Coming to Wii
...in the form of a "guided first-person experience."

LOL

ALL ABOARD!!!! Next stop...... disappointment. Choo Choo!!

I'm keeping my expectations low. What I expect to see is some release dates (and vague at that) and some media footage and screens.

Zelda confirmed for release on Dec 19, 2012

LOL

I'm in the camp of low expectations as well, but I do believe that we can kiss any hope of Sin & Punishment 2 away if it doesn't get mentioned here.

I, for one, am looking forward to getting into the Pikmin 3 multiplayer beta.

Neal I'm pretty sure that Sin & Punishment 2 is coming out this year. I recall that the game has been given a go ahead for North America release. In a recent Nintendo Power there was a preview for the game. So please check your facts before saying such things that you did.

Actually, Maxi, we were all surprised when it didn't show up on NoA's first-quarter lineup. I think Neal's right--if the game doesn't show up at the media summit, I'll really be wondering if they scrapped it or not.

Could it not being on the first quarter release list have anything to do with not being released in the first quarter. I think that is a possiblity.
Nintendo Power said that is is coming out later in the year.
So I am going to believe them.

Funny, I read that issue of Nintendo Power and I still stand by my comment. So I DID check my facts. Also, Nintendo Power reviewed Cave Story two issues ago, and that's still not out. I believe they pegged it for a 2009 release, too. That didn't happen.

Sin & Punishment 2 came out in October in Japan, and it was originally pegged for a Q1 2010 release at E3. Reggie reiterated that in October or November in some comment about how "Nintendo was going to back it hardcore, yo." I'm still waiting.

Plus, Nintendo of America has nixed a few games this generation, including Disaster and Fatal Fram 4. Granted those games didn't get a full section at an E3 (I'm pretty sure. Longtime goers correct me if I'm wrong), but still. NoA makes their own decisions, and it might not be financially sound to release S&P 2.

S&P2 is awfully niche. It would be a crime not to localize it, but I can definately see NoA saying "you know, we're not gonna make much scrilla on this one. Let's can it." Then they toss it in a corner with Fatal Frame 4 and Disaster.

Both of those games WERE pegged for a North American release. Neither one happened.

Just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean it is never going to happen.

...And just because something hasn't happened doesn't mean it is going to happen.

We agree to disagree.

I hope that S&P 2 gets mentioned and my fears go away, but until then...courage.

This would be an excellent time to reveal whatever Retro has been working on for the past three years.

Oh damn! I forgot about that when I made my speculative image.

I've just lost hope at this point, honestly.

Casual WiiWare games! That's what they are making. ;)

Oh god oh god oh god. Don't get my hopes up.

You are Nintendo's favorite customer. So easy to please.

Kairon's Joy = My Sorrow ;)

I'm personally hoping for a Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel announcement...and more info on Pikmin 3.

When is the European summit happening? I mean mostly the time, I know it's today.
