E3: Xbox has Halo 2, PS2 will likely have MGS3...what about Gamecube?

What will be Gamecube's heavy-hitter at this year's E3?

We all know Halo 2 will be huge at E3. New trailer, maybe some in-game footage, possibly a playable build. I also suspect Metal Gear Solid 3 will be unveiled, and it would only make sense for the title to be on the PS2 platform. Everyone goes nuts over the Metal Gear trailers...they're so cinematic. But what about Gamecube? Zelda: WW will have already been released...what big gun does Nintendo have up its sleeve?

Mario K..Ka... nah that will suck ass.

I dunno, Maybe Animal Crossing 2 will be shown... besides that, there will have to be somthing origanal. Normally the show could be saved by:

1. A Rare Game (impossible now)
2. Zelda (on the brink of release here, already out in Japan)
3. A Mario Game (Maybe?)
4. Announcements of a new prehaprehal (Online gaming maybe?)
5. A new Shiggy game (even though the last few sucked)
6. Pokemon (Isn't there a game coming out soon anyway?)

If we are talking about sequals, they could come with some early shots of a new Nintendo franchise game. This year they simply don't have a game that will blow everybody away that we know of before hand like Halo 2 or MGS3.... they could have a shock game though.

Perhaps Too Human... I'm not quite sure.

Perfect Stu · 01-21-2003, 02:56 PM

Nintendo could have a good showing...a new Donkey Kong game might be unveiled...and like you said Game, a bunch of sequels (AC, Mario, Zelda?)...

but I don't know what their defining GAME OF E3 will be...

Hmm, now that I think of it, from what we know, there really isn't something big to expect at E3. Maybe they will reveal a GOOD Mario game (SMS was so disappointing...), I would love it if they announced AC2 (with online capabilties of course, but it probably won't happen, unfortunately...). Like BF said, Too Human is a major possiblity...and hopefully Retro Studios comes up with something...

a realistic looking zelda would have people sh*tting their pants for months

but i doubt a zelda game, let alone a realistic looking one, would be shown so soon, like Zelda:WW will have only been in North America for about 2 months by then

Mario 128? Pikmin 2? Raven Blade? Too Human? Pokemon Stadium Online?

They've survived years where they never had the "main attraction" their biggest. I think they'll do fine.

Well, maybe Killer 7 and Resident Evil 4 even though I don't think those classify as Nintendo games

Whatever the hell Factor 5, Retro Studios and Silicon Knights are working on.

And as far as I know Nintendo will probably show PokeMon Stadium online (From what I've gathered it is only one of the two PokeMon games in development for the GCN at the moment), the other PokeMon game, Mario Kart, Tennis and Golf, PikMin 2, Animal Crossing 2, F-Zero GCN, StarFox Armada, but what new games.. *Scratches heads*

Maybe that Camelot RPG or the Namco RPG that was never shown.

maybe you misunderstood my post

we're not talking about what Nintendo will show...we're talking about whether or not Nintendo will have a 'show-stopper' like Halo 2 or MGS3...and if so, what title it will be

Jason1 · 01-21-2003, 05:46 PM

Mario Kart should be amazing...at least im hoping, Im a HUGE fan of Mario Kart 64(unlike some people here), so Im looking foward to that...and all that other stuff other peeps have mentioned...yep...

Jonbo298 · 01-21-2003, 07:04 PM

I'm guessing its going to be a few online games that will be shown. Maybe a few short "teasers" of the next Zelda game with a more realistic look. But I'm hoping they will show Animal Crossing 2 with online play and many other things that will just make the first one seem like a steaming pile of horse poo.

in all likelyness........ Nintendo would show one that you Never heard of, or one very unexpected.

Also i expect to see a little of GT4 from Sony.

that's pretty much a given

I figured MGS3 would be bigger, though

Null · 01-21-2003, 07:29 PM

hmmm. maybe

DK Cubed... Yep.
