Disclaimer: This list is in no way a confirmation or just some blustering fanboys. This is a list how I think some of these games could be possible. The point of the article is to say that all these games may not be just Wii Successor but 3DS or even just an announcement trailer for the game, like Red Dead Redemption 2. Who can argue against the fact that Rockstar may in fact show off a new Red Dead game at E3?

 

People have been eating up these rumored games to be shown off at E3. When I first saw them myself I thought they were too good to be true. This morning I took a closer look at this list and realized they could almost all be true. Below is the list of rumored games again and the reasons why I think it could be true or what system they may be announced for. Remember these games do not necessarily mean they are Wii Successor . They could be just be for the 3DS or just a generic announcement for the game.

To be shown at E3:

Nintendo:
– Pikmin 3 (playable, launch title) – Nintendo has already stated they have been working on a Pikmin game for a while. It would not be a huge surprise to see it at E3.  Justin’s thoughts: I think this is probably the most likely Wii successor game and being playable is a given.  It’s been talked about for so long and I guarantee the reason we didn’t see it last year was because it was shifted from Wii to Wii 2 development.
– Pokemon RPG (video, launch or near launch title) – A rumor is going around that a new Pokemon game will be announced next month. Could this be that game? Justin: I sincerely hope there is an actual Pokemon RPG for the Wii successor.  And, since it’s using controllers with a screen in them, it could make the experience somewhat portable within the home—which would be in line with what the Pokemon creators have said before why a Pokemon RPG hasn’t come to the console sphere.
– Super Mario Bros title (playable) – This could mean Mario Brothers for the 3DS are any of the plethora of Mario titles Nintendo releases. Justin: I’m with James here, this could just be meaning for the 3DS, and not necessarily the Wii’s successor.
– Star Fox (playable) – Already confirmed for the 3DS. Justin: Could be a new Starfox game on the Wii’s successor since it has been a long time since we’ve had a console Starfox.
– Smash Bros 4 (playable) – This is the farthest reach for me but it could be either for the 3DS or Wii.  Justin: Agreed
– Mario Kart (video) – Already known to be released on the 3DS.  Justin: I could see Nintendo showing a brief clip for a new Mario Kart as I would think Mario Kart 3DS would be playable at E3.
– Zelda (tech demo) – Maybe a 3DS tech demo or a trailer show off during the Wii successor announcement. Justin: Yeah, I could see a brief teaser for Zelda but nothing more than to show Link in HD.
– Metroid (tech demo) – Same thing as above. Justin: Yeah, I could see a brief teaser for Zelda but nothing more than to show Link in HD.
– New IP (video) – Always new IP’s Justin: Also, Miyamoto even said he hasn’t created any new characters since the first Pikmin game, so look for this to be a completely new game from the mind of Miyamoto.

Rockstar Games:
– Red Dead Redemption 2 (video) – If your bringing GTA why not Red Dead? Also this could just be a generic announcement trailer for the game.  Justin: Yeah, I agree with James.
– Grand Theft Auto “New Title” (video) Rumor has that Rockstar is planing to bring GTA to the Wii successor. This could also just be a generic announcement trailer for the game. Justin: I think this would be huge and would be in line with Nintendo going after the ‘hardcore’ gamers.

Ubisoft:
– Rayman Legends (playable) – Ubsoft announces Rayman for any new system. Justin: Yeah, this isn’t too far-fetched.
– Red Steel 3 (playable) – Red Steel 2 was a decent success, why not try for the new system.  Justin: Yes and yes, I am really hoping for this and I could see them going for round three and really improving the detail and motion controls.
– New IP (video)

SquareEnix:
– Final Fantasy XV –

Capcom:
– Resident Evil (video) – There is always a new Resident Evil game. Could be for the 3DS or Wii successor. Capcom is rumored to announce Resident Evil 6. Justin: Yeah, if the new Nintendo system is as powerful as people say, RE6 will be on it.
– Megaman (video) – This could be Megan Man Legends 3 for the 3DS. Justin: Agreed.
– Monster Hunter (video) – Monster Hunter 3 was a huge success, especially in Japan. This could be for the 3DS or Wii successor.  Justin: Yeah, this would be a huge announcement especially for the Japanese market where these games do so well.

EA:- Every year EA announces the new installment to these franchises.
– NBA ’13 (video)
– NFL ’13 (video)
– NHL ’13 (video)

Activision:
– Modern Warfare 3 (video) – Modern Warfare 3 is already in the works. This could be a generic announcement trailer.

Konami:
– Metal Gear title (video) – Could be a new one for the 3DS or like Capcom Konami always releases a new Metal Gear game. Also could just be a generic announcement trailer. Justin: I’m hoping for a new title and it would make sense to have it multiplatform.
– Winning Eleven (video) – There is obviously going to be another installment to this popular soccer franchise.

Namco:
– Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (playable) – Could be for 3DS or a generic announcement trailer.  Justin: Agreed.
– Soul Calibur 5 (video) – Soul Calibur director was quoted recently saying he hopes to make a big announcement for Soul Calibut next week. Justin: Yeah, this would be in line with the specs of the system and developers jumping on board.
– Pacman Rebirth (video) – Could be for 3DS or eShop channel. Justin: Agreed
