It is that time of year again, the gamers Christmas, where we get all the big reveals and new slew of information for pre-existing games. As expected of this time of year, everyone and their grandmother has some kind of expectation and prediction for what we may see at this year’s event and so I thought I would give my predictions as well. My focus is going to be more on Nintendo in this prediction; the Wii U is the only current-gen home console I own after all. With that said I will still talk about the other companies at the end, just not in as much detail.
The first thing I want to address here is something Nintendo themselves said about E3. Their claim that Zelda Wii U would not appear at E3 was because they wanted to focus only on games that will launch in 2015. This has big implications not just for new games but existing ones and sheds some light on how the end of this year might go. Games like Fire Emblem If and SMTxFE are both scheduled for 2016 in the west (and remember E3 is a western event) however I would be very surprised if they did not make an appearance in some form this E3. So with that I think we should interpret Nintendo’s statement not quite as literally. I think the Digital Event and the games playable on the show floor will only cover games for this year but other events such as closed-door media events will have 2016 games. I will cover these in more detail further down. With that I will jump straight into the Digital Event.
