What are they gonna do about the other games they've announced, like Color Splash and Sun and Moon? Are they just gonna leave people hanging until they decide to do something about them?

If there was going to be a Direct, they'd say it. There isn't one. Not for E3. There will be regular Directs throughout the year as usual for promoting most games while Sun and Moon get their own channels.

They may have a pre-E3 Direct just like they did last year. This one:

[up][up][up][up]Well, Masuda is confirmed to attend E3, so maybe TPC is doing their own thing separate from Nintendo?

And yeah, I wouldn't discount the possibility of a small pre-E3 Direct, but I also wouldn't expect a "Digital Event" with lots of game announcements on the scale of the previous three E3 events.

Yeah, I'm thinking that they're doing something before E3 to show off their other games. Possibly that Sunday/Saturday before the event.

They've already been at this for years, have you seen all of the Pokémon movies?

I'm okay with this, depending on what they choose to adapt.

Wow, I can get behind this. It's about time we got a truly good Mario movie. You go Nintendo.

What do you think their first movie would be, though? I bet they would start off with Mario or Zelda to test the waters, then move on to stuff like Fire Emblem (which would rock) and Metroid depending on how they do.

It's just crazy talk as of right now, but it's be awesome if we get a Nintendo Cinematic Universe out of this a la Marvel. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo's The Avengers!

Even better, I heard that its gonna be CGI or Anime-style Movies. Given the last time Nintendo tried live action, that would make sense.

If this means a full movie in the style of the Star Fox or Kid Icarus shorts(and maybe Palutena's Smash trailer), I'm 200% behind this.

They should fund that dude making a Fox in Space and just make it official.

I'm fully expecting Fire Emblem in particular to get something given how easy and widely appealing one of its stories would be to adapt to film.
