E3 2011 – What do you want to see from Nintendo?

E3 is so, so close. We’re just a few days before Nintendo spills their guts about their brand new console and many other games that fans will be looking forward to. It’s such a strange feeling that their conference is almost here, since, to me at least, it feels like E3 2010 just ended! Perhaps I’m still on a high after the impressive showing Nintendo had last year.

E3 2011 is comparable to last year’s event for many reasons. In particular, we know that Zelda: Skyward Sword will once again be prominently featured. Also just like 2010, we know of a bunch of titles that will be at the show: Ocarina of Time 3D, Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Super Mario 3D,  just to name a few. Arguably, those titles alone would be enough to say that Nintendo had a successful E3.

Yet that’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you’re a gamer, chances are that you have at least some interest in Project Cafe. Not everyone will be planning on purchasing it day one. But surely it piques one’s curiosity at least somewhat. After all, new hardware always receives attention.

We’ve heard so many rumors about Project Cafe over the last few months that it’s just ridiculous at this point. Nikkei lent some credibility to some of the speculation by “confirming” that the controller will contain a screen and built-in camera.

Still, there’s a whole lot that we don’t know about the console. Not much has been said (or should I say rumored) about the system’s online capabilities, for instance. And you know that Nintendo will have some surprises in store.

Having said all of this, what are you looking forward to at E3? What sort of features would you like to see for Project Cafe? You can make this your E3 wishlist, if you’d like!
