E3 2015 Predictions (March 2015)

These are my predictions for what we might see at E3 2015. NOTE none of this is confirmed so just because I predict it doesn't mean that it will happen. I will make a post like this at the begining of every month to predict what I think will happen.

Zelda Wii U official name and release window. I don't think we will for sure get a month for this game or a date for that matter, but I do think we will get a release window along with a subtitle that will give us more insight into the story of The Legend of Zelda for Wii U

Fire Emblem for 3DS will be shown off. I don't expect a release date this soon but I do expect at least a trailer for the newest Fire Emblem game that was announced back in January of this year.

GameCube and N64 Virtual Console Games. I really hope this happens since there is a whole new generation of gamers who haven't played those original classics like Super Mario 64, or Zelda Ocarina of Time. I think the games they will announce to be the first coming out for this is Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and Mario Kart 64. For GameCube Virtual Console games I think the first one out will be Super Mario Sunshine, Pikmin, and F-Zero GX. I don't expect them to put up Wind Waker, or either of the Metroid games as you can play them already on the Wii U.

Splatoon DLC. If any game can use DLC it might be Splatoon. Splatoon is set to come out in May so they can make some real quick DLC such as new items, and maps, ect. Splatoon looks amazing and I can't wait to play it. Making it have DLC will be the best thing ever.

The Legend of Zelda Amiibo series. This one is a given as Zelda is one of the most important franchises to Nintendo. I think the ones in this pack will feature: Link, Zelda, Gannondorf, Skull Kid, Tingle, Tetra, and Ganon himself. Hopefully this comes true because it will be amazing!

The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D Amiibo support. This ties in with the Zelda Amiibos where the Amiibos will unlock new masks in Majoras Mask 3D. This would be a steeler for me because I would want to own all the masks in Majoras Mask. If they wanted to, they could also do Wind Waker HD Amiibo support.

Some sort of new IP. I think this is obvious. A new IP would be great from Nintendo. We are already getting 2 this year with Splatoon, and Codename Steam, but I think Nintendo has something else up there sleeves that will shock us and make us go WOW.

Metroid 3DS and Metroid Prime Wii U. The idea would to this holiday release Metroid 3DS which would be for the NEW Nintendo 3DS and then next summer release Metroid Prime for Wii U. I think this would be an awesome strategy for them to do this.

Star Fox Wii U trailer. This is obviously going to be at E3. Might as well put it down. I think we will also get a release month because they said this game will come out this year. Hopefully they keep to their words.

Xenoblade Chronicles X release date, if it is already not released. Now Japan has a release Month for Xenoblade Chronicles X which will come out in April in Japan. North America has not gotten a release date or month which is kind of strange. We just got a 2015 release year. Hopefully it comes out in months to follow or a month or two after E3.

Rumored Release Date for The Legend of Zelda for Wii U

Last year at E3 we saw a glimpse of the new Zelda game that is on the Wii U console. Though, we did not see much we did see more of the game at The Game Awards 2014 back in December. The game seems to be in great shape. However both GameStop Italy and Amazon Italy seem to be saying that we may be seeing the game sooner than we expected.

First GameStop Italy had some preorders for the new Zelda game marked with a "Spring 2015" Title. Then it was Amazon Italy that put a release date on the preorders as June 26th 2015. Which would be in the summer. Now take this with a grain of salt. This is not confirmed nor is it going to be coming out this Summer or Spring. When you think of Zelda, you think of a big release close to Christmas or Thanksgiving. I'm not saying that this is wrong, I'm just saying it is highly unlikely.

Zelda games are known for having Holiday release dates such as Ocarina of Time and A Link Between Worlds. I really hope this game does come out this year as there has been speculation that it might get delayed until 2016. A new Zelda game is exactly what the Wii U needs in order to be successful. Not that the Wii U isn't successful, but the competition has already outsold the Wii U for a while know even though the Wii U got a 1 year head start on the Xbox One and PS4.

Why You Should Pick Up A Wii U In 2015

Let's be honest. The Wii U is not the most powerful console of this generation. Competing with the Xbox One and PS4 it is really struggling to keep up. However, let's look at the past year in 2014 that Nintendo had with the Wii U. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker are just some of the great games that Nintendo has had for the Wii U. Now let's look ahead to this year. Xenoblade Chronicles X (April 2015) Zelda Wii U (Likely Holiday 2015) Yoshis Wooly World (Early 2015) Mario Party 10 (March 12 2015) Splatoon (May 2015) Star Fox Wii U (TBD 2015) Devils Third (TBD 2015) to say the least there are many Nintendo games coming out this year. While Nintendo has all this first party goodness, what does Microsoft and Sony have? They barely have any first party or exclusive games coming out for their systems. Obviously Nintendo may not be the best selling or most powerful, but they do have the most charming and colorful and fun games to play. When Zelda Wii U hits stores this winter, people will be rushing out to buy a Wii U. Don't forget they also have Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World, and Pikmin 3 that came out in 2013. Buy a Wii U now!

Nintendo Direct 1/27/15 Leak Most Likely is Fake

There was a leak a few days ago showcasing the games that Nintendo will be showing off at there Nintendo Direct this month. However myself and others included have called this fake, and that's what I'm sticking with, there is no possible way that this is real. I'll go through the games and tell you guys what I feel is off about them. However this could very well be real, so there may or may not be spoilers but take this with a grain of salt.

They first said Nintendo 3DS games, with the games they would be showing off is: Lost in Blue: Last Hope, Metroid 3DS, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, (Project) Codename STEAM, Shin Megami Tensai: Devil Survivor 2, and The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D. There are some things that I find "fishy" about these 3DS games. For 1, they listed Codename STEAM as Project STEAM. They had the wrong title, unless they are changing the title for story purposes which I highly doubt would happen. Next is Metroid 3DS. There has been a lot of rumors revolving around Metroid for the 3DS, however a few months ago Nintendo said that they did have a Metroid in development but it ended up getting cancelled. The only way that the game would get shown off is if it didn't get cancelled and it will be a full game. So again there are some things that are fishy about this leak, but we will see.

The next thing was "New" Nintendo 3DS games. They had Bayonetta: Jeannes Showdown, Dr. Kawashimis New Brain Training, Okami Remake, The Last Story Remake, and Xenoblade Chronicles Remake. Now there is specifically one thing that I specifically find wrong about this and that is......why would they make another Bayonetta game, after they just came out with Bayonetta 2 for Wii U. They had talked about making a Bayonetta 3 for the next Nintendo system, but why a year later would they release another Bayonetta game? It just feels odd to me.

Now last but not least they talked about Wii U games. They had on the list: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker DLC, Fire Emblem: Grimas Vengeance, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (Amiibo functionality), Super Mario Wii U, There is something that you can not read however I believe that this is Star Fox Wii U because all you can see is ox Wii U, and Mewtwo gameplay for Super Smash Bros. Now there are some things I see as weird and that is Star Fox Wii U. They said that they would get a trailer AND a Release Date. Why a release date already? The game is suppose to come out in August-October. Why would they already say a release date and not for games such as Majoras Mask 3D, or Xenoblade Chronicles Remake. Also Nintendo specifically said there will be no new 3D Mario game coming out this year.

As you can see this leak is most likely fake. There is no way that this could be for real if it was a legit Nintendo paper for their Nintendo Direct. I would love to see a lot of these things like Metroid 3DS and Star Fox Wii U, but most likely this is fake. But expect a Nintendo Direct sometime this month. On my YouTube Channel I will do a live reaction video to the Nintendo Direct and hopefully it'll work out.

Is Nintendo Creating a Pattern with Zelda Games

So I recently came out with a video of myself basically talking about the new Zelda game, but not only that, the pattern that Nintendo has created with Zelda games.
In 2011, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for the Nintendo 3DS which is a remake of a Nintendo 64 game that was originally released in 1998. However that same year, Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii. 2 big Zelda games released in the same year.
Then in 2013, we had The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD for the Wii U which was a remake of a Nintendo Gamecube game that released in 2003. However we also got another NEW Zelda Game with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds which is A Link to the Past sequal.
Now fast forward to 2015. This year we have 2 Zelda games ready to be released. We have The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D for the Nintendo 3DS which is a remake of  a Nintendo 64 game that was released in 2000. Then we have a new Zelda game in The Legend of Zelda Wii U (we don't officially know the title) which is a brand new game in the series which has a giant open world just like the original Legend of Zelda game.
But this begs the question.....Has Nintendo created a pattern with Zelda games. Every other year they release a remake and a new Zelda game. Also something to note is that they alternate from consoles to portables systems. Heres the video of me speaking about this situation that I find very interesting.
