    1. there not gunna show a kiddie game at the spike awards .. late teens and young adults is the target audience. they are not playing kiddie games lol

      if its anything it would be a game to entice the hardcore audience. Bayonetta 2, smash bros, Xenoblade 2 ect ..

      don’t expect kirby or yoshis yarn lol

      1. This is NINTENDO we are talking about here. Apparently you haven’t paid attention to their business practices and have been on vacation on another planet.

        They are just arrogant to trot out there and do that. Anyway, I was being facetious.

        1. Maybe Metroid Prime 4???
          Good glory it has to be something HARDCORE! Something fresh. I have a Wii u and I don’t want to be disappointed.

          My Body Is Ready.

          1. Shut the fuck up. You played as that bitch last years metroid other m. It’s still a ducking metroid game. We better hear more about Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze as it’s only 2 months away!

      2. Yah and hopefully it wont be a let down like how their secret project Devd by Retro was hoped to be another Metroid game…but we all got DK Country. (not that its bad but i really wanted Metroid WAAAY more)

      1. Nintendo is making it seem like they will show some game we have already seen, but, they have prepared the first story trailer for zelda on wii u with super realistic graphics and full voice acting. pfft, yeah right.

        1. No they need to start doing voice acting because the text box way of communicating is so late 1990s dude. Sure Other m and Sunshine were bad but honestly at least they’re taking that necessary step forward. Either have voice acting or don’t have dialogue. I don’t like reading my games out anymore and really.

          Nintendo needs to do more voice acting in their games and Zelda would be a good place to start. Really Zelda fans, it’s a change they are going to have to make one day so you better get ready. Stop living in the 90s where voice acting wasn’t a major issue.

        2. Realistic graphics wouldn’t be bad for a Zelda game, but voice acting? I don’t know why people are obsessed with it… Let the music speak for the character, just like they always did, it works so well, dammit!

      1. That’s EXACTLY what Nintendo needs to do in order to turn things around. Overshadow everything else. Make a loud noise in the room. They are in dire straits right now.

        1. maybe thats why Reggie is still very confident about WiiU even though its not selling very well and the news were critical.

    2. I’m actually betting it’s Zelda Wii U. Nintendo did say that they were going to show it at E3 but needed a little bit more time. This would be the perfect time to unveil the game. Also take note of how they say “new look”- Zelda on Wii U has already been announced but we have no idea what it looks like yet.

      1. If it is Zelda and it is a “new look” my guess is that instead of it being a more photo-realistic Zelda which is what most people want, it’ll be some weird, abstract art style that they will try to convince us is better somehow.

        I would prefer a Starfox game myself.

        1. Photo realistic?? Really…how about if Zelda gets its soul back, ALBW is a good sign. TP and SS and both DS titles were subpar games ( in the Zelda series)….i can for any graphic style, camera angle. SS had an amazing story and that is about it besides the gameplay….TP had the graphics but story wise–wolf story was non Zelda

      2. Definitely. Don’t forget they even tried to show it at Comic-con. I will both laugh and cry if they try to show it at Spike VGX and don’t. It’s about time. They’d want to get the trailer out as soon as possible. Mario and Pokemon have been released on their hype is going down, it’s time for Zelda. Zelda U.

      3. They did release a trailer for Zelda Wii u already. Pretty short but awesome. They say they wanna give a new look at a game they’ve already shown so hopefully it will be Zelda!

  1. the announcement will be discontinuing the wii u admitting it the console is a abysmal failure. and releasing a true next gen console. Hopefully

      1. Not failure? Defend the shitty sales and how poorly their implementation has been with actually getting people to buy it.

        Also don’t be a pussy. If you’re going to say fuck, say FUCK. Fucking pussy.

        1. Ps4 isn’t a success either yet. Sony may be doing great but people have forgot that they need to sell millions monthly just to pay the bills.

        2. Shut the FUCK up dumbass you must be that retard hiding behind his computer calling people pussies because in reality you can not do it face to face

        3. Says anonymous troll on Nintendo news site. 3ds had similar problems and is success now, don’t troll your eggs before they’ve hatched.

      2. nobody cares about the Wii U it is a dead irrelevant platform. when a 3D mario game cannot save the wii U you KNOW there is a problem lol

        1. But Wii U is still better than its rivals. Why? Because it has games, and it works. That’s more than can be said for Xbone and PS4

        2. Actually, you’d be surprised with who cares. It has some good games coming out, there’s already Mario. Pikmin 3 did fine.

    1. This would be the place to do that, but it won’t happen. They are going to show us footage of a game we have already scene or footage of a new game that once again doesn’t not appeal to the core. I honestly think that Nintendo wants to frame their failure at the VGX.

      There is no reason to expect anything less.

      1. What is a hardcore gamer in this age? A gamer that instead of being playing Facebook farming games is playing fps farming kills wich is not a very big difference. I prefer Nintendo to cater to the casual than this age “hardcore”.

        1. Then you pretty much prefer Nintendo to go out of the console business. It’s time for a reality check here.

          Nintendo did not get to where they are appealing to “casuals.” They got to where they are appealing to EVERYBODY and when the focus went to just casuals that is when the problems started.

          The term “casual” means just that. CASUAL. Not permanent. Casual will stick around until it gets old and then go do something else like go play Facebook farming games. Meanwhile there is a gaping hole left where the casuals used to.

          Exhibit A: The Wii

          Once the novelty of motion controls wore off people dropped the Wii like a bad habit and went to smart phones and tablets. A casual gamer is fickle by nature and only jumps on what is hot at the moment. The Wii was a gimmick that caught fire and then fizzled out just like all gimmicks and fads do. The Wii was just another Tickle Me Elmo. Just like the Wii toys stores still sell Tickle Me Elmo, but are they still being flipped on eBay for $4000 dollars? Nope.

          A hardcore gamer is someone in which gaming is not a passing fancy. It is not just something they do every once in awhile. Gaming is a part of their everyday life, has been the majority of their lives since childhood and they NEVER tired of it. It part of who they are. Sure certain games get boring, but they go out and by different games. People who don’t need to be told when new games and hardware is being released because they are already aware of that from frequenting websites and game stores. A hardcore gamer usually has more than one console because they want to play the best of the best no matter what platform it is on. They want Mario, they want Halo, and they want God Of War. Hardcore gamers for the most part are in the age range of 25-35. Not an approximate number, just a ball park. There are hardcore gamers that are younger and older than that. My friends dad is in his 70s and he’s a hardcore gamer. Then you have young cats like Shokio who just turned 21 and is as hardcore as anyone my age and just as knowledgeable about the business.

          Hardcore gamers are the foundation the industry is built upon. They are the reliable investment and the sure bet. We have been here (some of us) for 30 years+. Some even longer it makes no sense at all to turn your back on that audience which is what Iwata has done with Nintendo. When Hiroshi Yamauchi ran Nintendo they had a balance. You had all types of 1st-party games that you are getting now on the Wii U in terms of platformers and party games ***PLUS*** fighting games, shooters, RPGs, survival-horror, action adventure, racing sims, professional sports games, and many other genres all 1st-party in edition to 3rd-party representative of those categories. Where is that with the Wii U?

          Exactly. It annoys me when people say that Nintendo has to be casual OR hardcore as if they cannot appeal to both. It also annoys me when people equate hardcore to FPS games only. Had Nintendo not of adopted a ridiculous policy in terms of mediums they would not have lost a single console war they have been involved in. If the N64 was CD based the Playstation brand would never have gotten off the ground. Ironically, Sony’s biggest successes have come off of Nintendo biggest mistakes. They screwed Sony with the CD add-on to the SNES and paid for it. They screwed themselves by going with the mini-DVD instead of a full-sized DVD on the Gamecube. They screwed up again by making the Wii sub-HD and if had not been for the motion-control had the PS3 would have won the 7th generation. Right now the Wii U is floundering and the XBOX One and PS4 are flourishing with no games. I expect that to diminish greatly once the holidays are over and well will get a better idea on the fate of the Wii U once everything settles down. However when you release Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3D World, Mario and Sonic Winter Olympics, and Windwaker HD and the Wii U still can’t outsell the PS3 and 360 (much less the PS4 and XBOX One) anyone making excuses for them at this point are lost in delusion and need a brick thrown at them to wake up.

          When you say that all that matters is the casual fans (who could care less about a Wii U assuming they even know it exists) and that Nintendo should focus on them, this is what you get. Two new consoles that are 100-200 dollars more expensive with maybe two or three games a piece worth buying the console for at this time and are trashing the Wii U in sales with THE franchise character Mario in possibly the biggest Mario title to date. Super Mario 3D World is an amazing game…………and it doesn’t matter because it’s too late. Should have been a launch title.

          1. People always say it is to late for Nintendo even though they are the healthiest of the big 3. Casuals are the ones that are giving in the money and Nintendo should not make the sakes mistake they did with the gamecube for just making hardcore games. Hardcore gamers abandoned Nintendo during the gamecube why should Nintendo go back to thing that did not worked for anyone? Also what I mean is that the term hardcore and casual has been wrongly used so much that casual and hardcore has been changed. Casuals have know better taste in games than cores.

    2. And what you consider as their true next gen system would be a similar system to the PS4 and Xbox One so we have 3 systems that are all the fucking same GREAT FUCKING IDEA.

      1. Exactly, the GameCube did that& ‘hardcore’ gamers abandoned them, with a console with more power than the ps2..,

    3. The only bad thing about the Wii U is that it doesn’t sell … It’s all due to the fact that when Nin revealed the Wii U, they were unclear about if the Wii U was just a remote for wii or a brand new console. They also had trouble releasing a lot of quality games in their 1st year, but now I must say that the Wii U is way better than PS4 and Xbox One in terms of games. If you want action games with the same gameplay over and over, filled with QTE, DLCs, Micro transactions, and updates, the PS4 and Xbox one are perfect for you. The PS4 will get better when more Japanese games will come out, but right now it’s all douche games.

    4. If they did that, people would lose tons of faith in Nintendo and stop being interested in anything they do. They would be ditching millions of Wii U owners (myself included – I’d HATE that). Remember when Sega started abandoning their consoles if they had a slow start?

      Nintendo isn’t stupid enough to drop their console after one year on the market. Neither is Sony with the Vita. When the PS3 and 3DS had slow starts, they didn’t just forget about them (even though it took around 3 years before the PS3 gained its foothold).

      No matter what happens to the Wii U’s sales, it’s not going anywhere until this console generation draws to a close.

  2. Skyward sword isnt even old and people are dying for zelda already. I bet this will be something to do with mario kart or smash bros.

    1. Skyward Sword was awful. It’s the worst Zelda on either console or handheld. They need to redeem themselves big time with the next game. The tech demo looked really nice.

  3. Now this will be interesting. This is some good news. My faith could very well be restored. I knew that something would be in the pipeline.

    1. Don’t get too excited. This won’t be epic. It’s more info on games we already know about. (I’m betting)

      Next year maybe we’ll get something bigger.

  4. This is an opportunity for Reggie to reveal Zelda HD or Metroid HD or something new people don’t expect or a new game of an old franchise they haven’t done games for in a long time. NIntendo needs to understand that these kind of announcements in shows with big HD good looking games is what makes the so called “hardcore” nerds jizz their pants.

    1. The only thing they could reveal that would even matter at this point would be a photo-realistic looking Zelda (since we haven’t had one yet it is just as valid of a request as any other artstyle) showing off the power that the Wii U has to entice 3rd parties to take another look at the system, or a few IP that is in the realm of a FPS, TPS, or action-adventure.

      And their needs to be gameplay footage too.

      1. No. Nintendo doesn’t do photo realistic. As Miyamoto himself said, he can do realistic but he hates it cause it restricts creativity. Pikmin 3 is as close to photo realistic as it needs to get.

      1. That would be pretty exciting actually.

        Sadly, since that’s what I’d like to happen, it’s almost guaranteed to be Yoshi or DK. :( (I really hope I’m wrong. )

  5. I highly think it’s about Metroid HD, I think they’ll save Zelda HD for E3, and maybe it’s Bayonetta 1 coming for Wii U, but I hope it’s not that and it’s something new…

  6. SherlockWillFightBilbo

    I want it to be X, Smash Bros., or a new game (Metroid, Zelda, etc.).

    We have daily updates of Smash, so I don’t really want to see that. I feel like it’s already been shown too much. It doesn’t look that great to me (although a “new look” at it might change my mind).

    The way it’s worded, saying “new” look, possibly implies it’s a game already shown. I think it’ll be X or Bayonetta 2.

    1. If it is any game we have already seen it should be X. Sufficient footage has been shown of Bayonetta 2. At this point it should be in post-production stage just cleaning up bugs and other quality-control tasks.

      Wouldn’t be a bad ider either to show off Shin Megumi Tensei X Fire Emblem.

        1. Right. Everybody forgot about it. I think even Nintendo forgot about it. It’s long overdue to see ‘some’ footage of that game.

  7. I have this awful feeling in my gut that a new look at an upcoming game means a new look at Tropical Freeze with Cranky Kong, which was suppose to be a surprise…

  8. X would be a very good choice – something that really showcases what the Wii U can do. I’m not sure it’s best to drag out an old Nintendo franchise. People who like those franchises will buy a Wii U anyway – let’s try and get some converts.

  9. If they show Zelda HD, and it’s mature, you will have people on their feet applauding. It will be E3 2004 all over again.

    This would be HUGE for Nintendo if they were to show off a new Zelda.

    1. Or E3 2006 all over again. If it is DKC:TF footage however that could be the final nail in Nintendo’s coffin and based on what I’ve heard that is a strong possibility.

      We are past the point of no return. Nintendo has already proven they are not interested in what we WANT but in what THEY want to give us so there is no reason to entertain the thought of a mature-themed Zelda.

  10. A new Metroid or Star Fox, Miyamoto’s new franchise, Donkey Kong Country’s fourth character (Nintendo and Retro haven’t confirmed Cranky, only Amazon Italy), or Super Smash Bros. with a veteran and or newcomer.

  11. I hope it’s neither Smash, Donkey kong, Bayonetta or X. I want it to be an unannounced game that will catch developers and people off guard. Wii u needs to show of its max capabilities now.

    1. Wii u also needs to pove the console works with 2 gamepads and NFC tech and 4k to 8k graphics on a game we never seen before. Max potential is the only thing that will save the Wii U

    2. Im pretty sure there will be somethin about DK. Reggie showed new gameplay the other day on the same channel. Prob they will talk about cranky

  12. PLEASE DONT BE YOSHI YARN, MARIO PARTY 190283646, NINTENDOLAND 2, ANOTHER PARTY GAME OR MIYAMOTOS IP CUZ WE KNOW IT WOULD BE A MESS LIKE WII MUSIC.

    SHOW US SOMETHING GOOD, METROID, STARFOX, NINTYS UNCHARTED OR SOMETHING FOR TEENS, ADULTS.

  13. Damn… I was hoping for something we havent seen before.
    But anyways, I hope its good.
    Any info on when might the next direct be?

  14. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Gameplay with Cranky Kong. More likely than anything else.

    If not: Smash Bros is what’ll be shown.

  15. Why do people come here to bash Nintendo. What is the gain in that exactly?

    I say let Reggie really blow our minds open with something that’s never been done before!

  16. It’ll be the SM3DW trailer and he’ll explain the same things over and over again, the double cherry power up, the multiplayer, the clear pipes, the beautiful graphics in HD.

    That’s what I don’t like about Nintendo, they keep repeating the same videos and comments over and over again, I know that they have to advertise and promote their products, but that’s what the tv commercials are for, leave the big events to show something new!

    I still remember how long they kept promoting Kid Icarus and Mario Kart 7 in every single place and event they attended, I wanted to see more about Luigi’s Mansion, Paper Mario, etc. but they just kept showing KI and MK7! XD

    1. Far from it. Why would he bother wasting time presenting a game that is already out for Wii U? That would be pointless.

      Also it says a new Wii U game, so it won’t be anything we have seen before.

  17. Remebre guys is a new look on a incoming game wich could mean that a game that was already show or not is getting a new facelift or change of gameplay also HD gamecube remakes or n64.

  18. i think there’s a possibility to be some good new things about DKC Tropical Freeze… nintendo may have noticed that the game wasn’t bringing so much innovation or something. Anyway, what i would really like to see was some news from the new Zelda!

    1. Shin megami x fire emblem is the only game that hasn’t been show but that it could be the one that they are refering to.

  19. please be shin megami x fire emblem. i sold my wii u because it sucks but if they announce that i will be the first in line on gamestop saing ”one wii U please”

      1. or i could just buy smash bros for 3ds and buy a second hand wii U cheaper and i would be spending less. i already gave support to the wii U buying it new i don’t need to do to it again.

  20. Based upon the way it is written, I would have to say it’s going to be a game we already know about. I’m guessing it’s going to be either Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros., or Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.

  21. it better be something we’ll actually give a shit about Reggie!! I doubt it will be Zelda because they said they weren’t showing anything off about that till next E3. He said it’s a new game so it has to be something along those lines. Starfox I think would be a good thing. You could have some awesome graphics, awesome voice acting, it’s one of nintendo’s more mature franchises and the series needs a new game badly.

    Maybe there will be some updates on Smash if we’re lucky. Nintendo needs to to star focusing more on the wii u and core gamers, and less on the 3ds and casual gamers. Be more mature Nintendo,you need to get the attention of the adults not the kiddies.

  22. Whatever it is, it better be something exciting. It better be HUGE news. Something that will lift current Wii U owner’s spirits, and something that will entice and convince everyone else that the Wii U is here to stay and worth owning. At this point, for Nintendo, it’s now or never. Do or die.

  23. im starting to believe the new game its luigis mansion dark moon for wii u. remember the best buy leak????
    and reggie just said on twiiter they will continue with the year of luigi crap for next year. so pretty much coincidence.

  24. Man, fuck this shit.

    And by “fuck this shit,” I mean, fuck the long ass wait until we get what might be another underwhelming announcement. I really don’t want to sound like I have no faith or anything, but Nintendo’s announcements these days haven’t been very exciting or mindblowing or even something unexpected, so I don’t have much reason to be hopeful that it’s going to be something astounding this time. That’s the main problem: the long wait. If the news were going to be something underwhelming, they should just reveal it now instead of trying to build hype for it and make it seem like it’s a big ass deal just because they’re debuting it during an awards show.

    But at the same time, it IS during an awards show, so it stands almost the same chance of being something crazy. Again, the wait makes it torture. If it were something we knew was going to be absolutely mindblowing, then of course the wait wouldn’t be so bad.

  25. You will not playing with link!!!You will be link!!!(virtual reality)All you need is in your home wiimote,balance board,gamepad and the new wiinsider!!!

    Let me dream!!!

  26. You will not playing with link!!!You will be link (virtual reality)All you need is in your home wiimote,wii balance board,gamepad and the new wiinsider!!!

    Let me dream.

  27. I REALLY want it to be an awesome 3 minute trailer of Zelda HD for Wii U, but I don’t thilnk they’ll do that, I think they’ll leave that for E3 for a 2015 release. Making Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and other games take 2014. What I think is if it’s not Zelda HD, it will be then Majorask;s Mask 3DS, he said “new look” after all… And it would be cool if then if Skull Kid is added in Smash Bros.

  28. i just hope they realiaze they are no going to the nickelodeons awards this is Spike awards only hardcore games assists.
    and just to let u know this is the first time nintendo is going to this awards. I hope they have something according to the standars. dont fucking come with another childish game.

  29. You will not playing with link!!!You will be link (virtual reality)All you need is in your home wiimote,wii balance board,gamepad and the new wiinsider!!!

    Let me dream.
    GAME:Zelda U R LINK

  30. I couldn’t play Skyward Sword due to the terrible controls with the Wii mote. Hoping for a WindWaker like control scheme and realistic , dark zelda

  31. Will anybody be recording this and uploading on YouTube? Or is there a dedicated site that will have the VGX available to watch, cuz im gonna be busy during the live stream :/
