Well yeah. But Nintendo is an illogical company so there's a very slim chance it will show up, it's an almost zero chance yeah, but why not expect it? It's not going to be the end of the world if it isn't revealed tomorrow anyway.
But look how thin it is! There was never anything in it to begin with!

In recent years, many of our North American fans have been clamoring for an new entry in one of our classic series: F-Zero. Today, I am happy to announce a new title in the F-Zero series, coming to Wii U this spring. Please, take a look.

*it's a 2D sidescrolling racing game*

Anything related to expanding the VC library would be welcome. But N64 would be best.

Well according to the experts of Internet Hyperbole, yes it is. Although Zelda will just be mentioned in passing at most ("We will show you the new entry in the Legend of Zelda series at E3 next year").

No joke. I agree with this completely.
Oh, and I want Cranky to be a character in it.

I'm not expecting much, but I do expect there to be a few exciting things this time for some reason.
As long as they'll announce one or more of these, it'll be ok to me:
1. New Zelda
2. GC VC
3. New Metroid
4. New Action Game
5. Release date in spring for Super Smash Bros U
6. Mario Kart 8 new features
7. A New IP
8. X Footage + Release windows
9. Anything Starfox related
10. A new HD game that's been wanted forever (Majora's Mask? Eternal Darkness?)
It'll be a fail if there is going to be only things about Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
The game's itself is great, but we need to hear about something NEW!!!

I'm hoping for an announcement of a Pokemon console game. Realistically, we're never going to get something like the handheld games on the console. And we're also realistically never getting an open world pokemon.
However, my fellow Pokemon fans should take note that there's an NPC in XY that specifically mentions he's not from any of the 6 handheld regions. That leaves Orre or perhaps a new region which would be perfect for a new Colosseum or XD Gale of Darkness sequel. (not to mention there's that one item that states its from a faraway land)
So, since Bank is coming out, there's nothing right now on the horizon for Pokemon fans. Just a tipoff of something new would be great.

This will be interesting. I'm not expecting any groundbreaking announcement, but any Wii U news is more than welcome to me. Looking forward to it!
They just released a new IP a few months ago: Wonderful 101. I think that's enough for this generation.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Hopefully we get more news on that Seaman 3D game.
And IronFall.
And Renegade Kid.
And (better) VC on 3DS next year.
Oh and that Wii U thing with Smash Bros

Man, people are gonna be disappointed with all this insane hype.
I'll be happy if they announce new Streetpass puzzles for ALBW and 3D World.

What makes you think that? Nintendo has said they dont have any DLC in the works for World, and I dont see what other game they could add anything to.
I want to see Kart/Smash/Yoshi. That would make me happy. They will probably promote the hell out of DKC which is fine, but I hate being spoiled on a game im just about to play.
That really sucked when they had a top 10 spoiler list for world just before it hit. i should not have watched that shit and learned my lesson
Oh and just tell me Majora's is coming for 3ds. for the love of god.
" minimalist " Alright Neiteio lol.

My bingo is ready.
my handwriting is not
I know, I'm probably playing it too safe. :-\
Let's add the acquisition of Capcom, Konami, and Namco to the list.
What a silly list. You don't even have the most obvious thing; Nintendo buying Capcom.
EDIT: DAMN IT NEITEIO
you should go to a doctor about that, it's not safe if you've had it like that for more than 5 hours
People need to give up this idea that Wii U is getting an ambassador program. We're already one year into Wii U's life.

And Nintendo still couldn't save itself with this. /GAFcynicism
Anyway I think I'm going to skip this one. I've been watching these things (All Access, VGX) only for nothing to come of them so even though logic says they should have some stuff in store, I'm going to assume they don't and sleep through it.
If they announce some stuff, the news sites will be packed with it. If they announce nothing, I'll have at least gotten some good sleep?

Guys, I was able to watch an advanced copy of the Direct before tomorrow's broadcast time. Here are the highlights:
Zelda: Retribution revealed with an October, 2014 release date. Takes place in Hyrule in a bleak, post-apocalyptic near future overrun by Gibdos. Link uses the sword for melee combat and sword beam as a default weapon. Additional weapons (i.e. Fire Rod and Cane of Somaria) can be purchased via microtransaction in the online Malo Mart shop. Zelda can also be purchased as a playable character in Malo Mart; controls just like Link but has realistic jiggle physics. 5 hour single player campaign in an open sandbox Hyrule, split into missions and checklists, with frequent waypoints and regenerating health to ensure that all players can enjoy the story regardless of skill level. Zelda Online features 5 maps with more to come via DLC. $60.
Mario Kart 8. Mario, Koopa Troopa, and Shy Guy unlocked automatically. Additional characters and karts can be earned by winning races in Grand Prix mode, on average about 150 wins for the next unlock. Or, new characters and karts can be purchased via microstransaction for $20 per character/kart. Get the best deals by pre-ordering kart packs. According to Miyamoto, this new upgrade structure was implemented due to fan feedback and the desire to make sure that the best characters/karts feel rare and valuable. Nintendo does not anticipate any problems with online at launch and has not purchased any extra servers. $60.
The next Nintendo console, Nintendo Power Box, announced for Christmas 2014. Does not support GamePad, Wii Remote, or any input other than the Pro Controller. No backwards compatibility. Hardware specs on par with XBox One. Will feature mostly 3rd party multiplatform releases and HD remasters of classic Nintendo games, ported by Grezzo. Zelda: Retribution and Mario Kart 8 "definitive editions" for Nintendo Power Box available at launch for $60 each. $500.
