The biggest gaming event of the year, E3, is only a few months away and thanks to Reset Era member Rösti, we can now get our first look at how the floor plan is shaping up. The event planning and marketing firm GES that is involved with the show has published its exhibitor manual for this years’ E3 show and, based on information from that, we can see where Nintendo will be situated. To no huge surprise, Nintendo will be positioned in their normal position of being opposite Sony in the West Hall. It’s also worth noting that Nintendo is also not breaking tradition and has booked the 411 Theatre again this year.
Here are the current floor plans but as with any event, these can change.
Sexy
Just imagining what Nintendo has in store for E3 this year…..
I just went from 6 to midnight….
This year is gonna be huge for all of us. I wonder if SEGA will have another booth.
Whatever they have, it’s gonna be trash. There’s no point of redemption and only Whitehead can redeem Sonic.
This has been said many times before, and they always produce *something* to maintain some interest in the company. There’s a reason “never say never” is a phrase.
Basically they might.
Might what?
On what you said
Yes. Microsoft’s booth is getting smaller. It will continue to get smaller. Soon…it will be gone.
Commander Quadraxis will be pleased. lol
||Good, the faster they disappear, the better the gaming world will become…||
So the Shrink Ray Experiments were a success, Your Grace?
||Yes, our Ing Infectors were succesful…||
Ehem. Samus Aran? lol
||What about that foolish human? That male ape was an Xbot…||
Male ape? What? XD Samus is a woman and whooped your Inging ass.
||The video was archival footage taken by our scouts, testing one of our new breeds of Ing on an Xbot…||
Okay…WTF?
||Clever isn’t it? They cannot even see them…||
And Mobile should calm the fuck down and back away with it’s Microtransaction poison. After that, Somy is next.
||We need the extra cattle resources, even if I don’t even remotely care about those slaves…||
Why? We did just fine without them before.
||Fine is not good enough for the Supreme Lord or The First Order of Nintendo…||
Okay. We kicked ass..until a wild PlayStation appeared. lol
||The biggest mistake in our history but that one day will be corrected…||
Here’s something to think about that I realized yesterday: both the Wii U and 3DS had a 2D and 3D Mario in their first two years. If that cycle repeats for the Switch we’re due for a 2D Mario this year. I just hope it’s a refresh that has more ambition the NSMB series.
That’s a good thought. I’d typically be open for anything Mario, but I really think they’d be stupid not to port Mario Maker. I would love the mobility on the Switch.
As long as they added a ton of stuff and not a straight, as-is port. I want to see more backgrounds, more enemies, more stage elements, and, most importantly, RAMPS.
Agreed 100%.
It’s not just porting the game but it needs a overhaul itself. The sharing/voting system needs changing (instead of Nintendo deleting levels that basically leaves a lot of bad ones but have the fans up/down vote them and the worst votes gets the boot in later time), the game is missing a ton of graphical styles from All-Star collection and the fucking slopes…we need those. Plus, environmental aesthetics and hazards.
Super Mario Bros. 5?
Hopefully. I wouldn’t even mind if Retro did it.
Anything from Retro will be good. So far, their games are well crafted.
I hope we see a new 2D Zelda. There’s got to be something related to Zelda since they released Breath of the Wild in 2017.
You and me both.
Technically, we haven’t had a 2D Zelda since 2004 I think with Minish Cap. It might be top-down but it’s basically 3D from a high standpoint.
And more importantly, (suspense music) Metroid Prime 4.
Whatever Retro Studios has been up to is sure to be shown as well. It’s been long enough.
Do imagine if their secret is a game inspired in Banjo and 3D Donkey Kong? That would be quite a surprise! O_O
*Do you
A new DKC game with both 3D/2D elements of a new IP like that old Raven Blade game they once worked on?
